Bad national polls? Really? +3 in TIPP and YouGov and +5 Marist 

Oh I see, Trump’s pollster (Trump +3) and HarrisX, which is always very good for Trump (Trump +1) and the Tory company in the UK must count 5x as much 

The thing about a lot of polls, is that if they are really valuable, one way or another, the campaigns will not release them (if they’re commissioned by a campaign) or will buy them up so they aren’t released.  There’s a reason why most internal polling is never formally released and just hinted at  - campaigns don’t want to help the opposition. Campaigns, PACs, various political organizations do release polling data that is meant to either motivate their people to get out and vote, or to depress voter turnout with the opposition, and I wonder if that’s why it seems like here have been more Republican polls than Dem polls released. 

 I’ve got a friend at a private analytics company here in Austin (they used to do a lot of polling but now they mostly measure other metrics) and most of what they develop for various campaigns and politicians will never see the light of day, even though it would surprise/interest a lot of people.

OK, this morning I woke up to the lovely Mrs. Canecutter bringing me coffee. I had just been dreaming something about being in Costa Rica feeding kibble to monkeys, so I told her about it.

She came back with a long detailed dream that she just had, where something big had happened, and she and I were crossing the country headed west to California, on scooters. Mine was a Ruckus covered in saddlebags.

We were financing the trip by selling off our silver to MAGA types with ashtray voices who were mocking us, saying "Y'all used to look down on us for buyin REAL money, now you wish you'd bought more yourself." We still had a handful of gold two-peso coins stashed away.

We were on scooters because by the time of the dream they no longer needed registration. We were on county highways because the US ones have cameras. We were going to California because it was affordable. All the jobs had gone. Except for one Chemistry job that she was going to take.

Unrelated, she thinks some of her East European ethnic Magyar crew might have been Gypsies who changed to something else in America.

Fucking fuck. Who the fuck sees this and thinks, "That's something I want to be a part of"? And then somehow have the gall to consider themselves "independent thinkers."

Christians. I used to be like that when I was young. Didn't curse. No drugs or alcohol. I really believed that's the way you should live. Then my friend's dad cheated on his wife with another friend's mom. Then my other friend's mom left her husband for one of our group's friends as soon as he turned 18. We would go over to their place to play basketball and he would stay in the house. Then I took some classes and timelines didn't line up. If he loves children and children are innocent why are so many starving and dying? Why would he allow someone to claim his name and then steal every penny from some poor little lady in the congregation? Why are there other religions? Why do they all put themselves between you and God? Why do they want money? And so on.......

This is exactly it. The most important thing to know is what you don't know. And if you can't admit that then your insecurity holds you back. And that's what Silver is, he's essentially a decently smart but terribly insecure quant who got famous in a niche market.

I've voted for more Rs than that since I could vote (1996) but as I said in a thread somewhere this week, I don't care about party. I vote based on values and principles. It's not my fault that in 2024 that means voting against a particular party in every race possible. That's their fault.

This got me thinking about how many candidates in partisan races I actually felt like I was voting *for* at any level. Maybe 3? And one of them would be the one Republican, which I came to regret. I just got that one way wrong.

She’s on her way to being an Ernie Chambers/Terry Carpenter type hellraiser in the Unicameral and that’s great. If Vargas doesn’t get Don Bacon in NE-2 this time, I can see her taking it next time

I'm not going to lie. The shit coming out right now almost indicates that the fourth estate understands the stakes. My main issue is that these idiots are a week late. 10-15% of the people who will vote have already voted.

As an eternal optimist I'd like to believe that this shit is timed as well as they can muster. But fuck them for not beating this drum constantly, day in and day out, for years. Seriously.

Even if you're a classical liberal (what conservatism used to mean), you know that the nation can easily withstand a Kamala Harris presidency and still move toward your preferred end state. The ultra-nationalism and ethnocentrism (white nationalism) represented by Trump is a direct threat to American ideals. Fuck these pussies for waiting until T minus 12 days to start flooding the national narrative with this shit.

Anderson Cooper:  “Thanks for joining us Charlamange, and now let’s turn to Scott Jennings.  Scott, Donald Trump continues to question VP Harris’s ethnicity, how much do you think the ambiguity around her race is hurting her campaign and why do you think she continues to avoid presenting to voters a plan to deal with?  Please take as much time as you need to answer by quoting today’s Republican talking points and I’ll be sure not to correct any falsehoods you may say.”

Well said.  I have thought this, but been unable to articulate it concisely.
