It’s true. Men in Texas are not responding well to the 12oz roll or sage blend. There are indications that until the 16oz roll is returned to market they will go back to making their own sausage like they did thirty years ago, despite agreeing that it’s not as good.

If my wife wasn't a plump, stocky gal we might could do on the 12 oz roll.

Very similar to the argument I made on Facebook this morning, except for some strange reason, your argument doesn’t mention Arnold Palmer’s cock.  Not even once.

It doesn't feel good.  What doesn't make sense to me is how Nevada is so out of line with PA and GA. Straight Crazy pills. 

It’s the Big Sort at work. NV and GA are sprinting in opposite directions. Nevada is moving towards Florida. The crazy thing is that Arizona is moving the other way from NV, just more slowly.

Former RNC chair Michael Steele

Michael Steele, the former Republican Party chairman who is strongly anti-Trump but has retained his GOP registration, agrees that some of these polls are gamed. “I know they are,” he said. “I’ve talked to enough people on this side of the street to know they are.” The way it’s done, he says, is that “you find different ways to weight the participants, and that changes the results you’re going to get.” That’s a striking allegation coming from such a longtime senior GOP insider.

Steele also shares some of the same worries as Rosenberg, Bonier, and others—that pro-Trump pollsters are feeding a perception of a Trump lead to provide his allies a way to blame a Trump loss on a rigged election. “They’re gamed on the back end so MAGA can make the claim that the election was stolen,” he said.

Stuart Stevens, the anti-Trump former Republican pollster, agreed. “Their game plan is to make it impossible for states to certify. And these fake polls are a great tool in that, because that’s how you lead people to think the race was stolen,” Stevens said. All manner of postelection mischief-making, and maybe even political violence, would be thus justified.

It's in the subtext. His cock is the subtext in all of my posts.

To quote the Donald:

Understood, but in my opinion Nevada is both the most likely Biden state to flip this cycle.

That’s fine. It’s not “racing right” though. It went from 2.42 in 2016 to 2.39 in 2020. Florida moved nearly 2 points right in that same time

Seems unlikely that she would need the 6 from Nevada to push her over 270. I guess a weird combination of swing state results could in theory do it. Just the thought of it being that close just raised my blood pressure.

I wouldn’t say either are racing rightward politically. I would say they are moving in the same direction culturally, and voting Republican is semi-symptomatic.
Not sure exactly what to call that direction.

There’s going to be a lot of shocked Pikachu faces about Nevada this year considering the automatic voter registration law that went into effect a few years ago automatically registers you unaffiliated unless you choose otherwise. Because they are primary young voters being labeled independent as soon as they turn 18

The demographics of the independent voters, especially in Vegas, heavily favor Harris. Young voters increasingly don’t want to affiliate with either party formally, but we all know they vote primarily Democrat 

Inshallah!

Can't wait for the media to completely fail in its responsibility to inform Americans that the GOP's plan is very obviously to use bullshit polls to justify a refusal to accept the loss and attempt to steal it again.

Both of these.

Also, it's easy to point to 2012 and 2016's polling errors to counter any of the polling narrative.

How many county GOPs are going to be screaming this in the next two weeks?  It's their play.  Sow doubt among the populace and it makes it easier to claim fraud.  Again.

100% this is the plan and the play.  The GQP is the party of lies, all lies, and only lies.  It's all they are, it's all they have.  They are going all-in on telling lies.  

They will inspire violence.  They will cause unrest.  There will be attacks on government bodies.  We are going to have to shoot them.  It's what they want.  So FAFO.

Generally, there have been times when that was true. Presidents haven't done much if anything to fundamentally change how the country work or the principles of the republic. Things are different now.

So much this.  It's a GENERALLY true sentiment ("who the president is really doesn't have much impact on me").  But it can change under an extreme outlier.

Analogy: your local water utility has had a general manager of some sort your entire life.  Who that person is has very little effect on your life, precisely BECAUSE each of those GMs runs the utility in line with its established systems and norms.  They don't make any radical, irrational changes.  They tweak and improve processes here and there - some of their ideas work, some don't.  But at the end of the day, you turn on your faucet, and clean water comes out, no matter who is the GM.  BUT....when Insane Idiot GM takes over, shuffles all of the infrastructure maintenance dollars to contracts with his son, Jared Kushner, only focuses on getting clean water to the neighborhoods that supported him politically, and purposefully lets the system feeding neighborhoods that didn't support him go to shit, and implements draconian billing policies that he uses arbitrarily to shut off the water of people who didn't support him, you will notice the FUCK out of hwo your water utility GM is.  

That's the whole fucking point.  A competent leader runs things so that you forget you have a leader (with some exception in times of crisis/black swan events).  If your leader is in the news every day, and you're not at fucking war, then HE IS A SHIT LEADER.

Whatever this story is would be in an out of the news in less than 5 minutes. Regarding Trump, nothing matters anymore. 

 

Bolded the only thing that matters.  The story could be Trump raping infants to death, on video, chanting "hail Satan!" while cupping Putin's balls......and he would probably GAIN voters.  Nothing matters.  Nothing.  46% of our country is irrevocably in thrall to a cult of insanity.  We have no way out, and their poison will eventually kill us all.

And they have everyday Americans talking this way.  A buddy of mine taken in by Fox News talks openly about closing the border completely.  He's the son of an immigrant himself.  When I point that out, he just says it's different now, man.

The bolded is a particular chunk of idiocy that doesn't get enough attention.  The economic devastation of an actual border closure?  Fucking hell, BILLIONS of dollars in no time.  Hell, when abbott implemented just a slowdown at the border, it cost the US economy NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS A DAY.

"Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's short-lived policy of requiring state troopers to conduct secondary inspections of trucks crossing into Texas from Mexico cost the United States almost $9 billion in just 10 days."

Or 2008.  Swing state poll averages in 2008 and 2012 underestimated Obama‘s strength in every state but one- GA (IRRC). 
In most of the swing states they missed low by 4+

Yep. I don’t consider myself that liberal. I think that wokeism is out of hand and damaging to the American psyche. You have a generation of young people now more worried about pronouns and having female leads in movies than about improving their lives and their communities. 
 

But goddamn, on the other side there’s religious (and often hypocritical) zealots openly trying to institute a theocracy, with some racism and general toxicity mixed in to their messages. While both sides are bad, to me one is clearly worse for the country

I think this makes a lot of sense.  There are no new votes for Trump to tap into.  The strategy is to get out as much of the base as possible, demoralize opposition voters and seed doubt in the election outcome to try to take the presidency through the courts.

Trump Has Given Up Persuading Undecided Voters

October 23, 2024 at 9:04 am EDT By Taegan Goddard113 Comments

It’s quite telling that, in recent weeks, Donald Trump has been canceling scheduled mainstream media appearances. Some reports suggest “exhaustion” as the cause.

But it could also be that his campaign is trying to avoid giving Kamala Harris more material to use against him.

There’s a reason Harris encourages people to watch a Trump rally and plays clips of him at her own events.

Trump isn’t presenting himself well—especially to undecided voters.

From Vanity Fair:

How did Donald Trump spend one of his last weekends before November 5? Did he drill down on policy, finally explaining to voters how he plans to make childcare affordable? Did he apologize to the various minority groups he’s said should have their heads “examined” for supporting Kamala Harris? Did he cogently and convincingly lay out the case for why he deserves a second term in the White House? Not exactly!

Instead, he talked about the size of a famous golfer’s penis, pretended to be a fast-food worker at a closed McDonald’s, and claimed every single goose in Springfield, Ohio, has gone missing.

Trump certainly knows how to grab the media’s attention with these stunts, tapping into his entertainer instincts.

However, none of this seems to be swaying undecided voters in his favor.

Dumbasses often fat-finger and misread their electronic ballots.

The strongest demographic voting Trump is "complete dumbasses."

So, you can see how this could happen.
