@Pancho

On a serious note: are you going to slap a warning to all the chuckle fucks who have spent the last 4 years saying “don’t CR X” who are going to come pouring into the thread after 7 or just let the chips fall where they may?

On a personal note, I’m going dark this evening to self care and medicate and will tune back in 9:30-ish EST.

New Hampshire with Harris 62/34.  Shit:

https://rockefeller.dartmouth.edu/about-center/dartmouth-poll/media-and-results

When asked who they would support for president, 61.9% of Granite State voters say they would vote for Harris, 33.5% report that they would vote for Trump, and 4.6% report that they would vote for another candidate.

I'll take that shift to the left nationwide please, thank you.

Counterpoint: there is more incentive to make shit polls that keep people engaged and clicking, thinking it’s a horse race that is going to come down to the wire. 

I've hated that shit for decades. The primaries are not actually stages in a horse race. Why should the vote in the fucking Iowa caucuses have any impact on voters nationwide? But it does. Why, I ask:

There's a template that dictates the easiest, most worn paths to avoid actually working to get news stories. Iowa seemed to provide "momentum" for a candidate once, so the national media cover it like the Normandy Invasion every election since. It has great impact on who will even be in the race on Super Tuesday which is just stupid.

The notion of not being the newsstory yourself is out the window. They do not recognize their function as a magnifying glass or microscope lending size and importance to otherwise miniscule events. 

The above is not really a newsstory at all. It's predictable and irrelevant. TV news media absolutely love it.

As stated by @Biff Tannen, a horse race is more fun to cover and get viewers than a political contest. So let's frame one as the other. 

Iowa?

ok stupid question that I'm too afraid to ask at this point - I just saw a clip of JD Vance getting out of a car to go cast his own vote.

 

Is Donald Trump able to vote in this election?

Come thru Philly!

 

This.  I recall a panicked look on the face of an election-day reporter in 2016 when Philly delivered under 85% to HRC.  Philly is the canary in a coalmine, to an extent.

Atlanta, 63 degrees with some light morning drizzle, warming to 70 and sunny.  In other words, in an hour a chamber of commerce day, no excuses.

Pretty gray rainy morning in Dallas but it’s supposed to clear up. Put on a happy smile.

Thank a meteorologist today, or buy the meteorologist some Chili's.

I have nothing personally against crypto--I really don't--but it's so hard to care about when the people who care about it the most are almost universal choads, bros, sketchy AF, scammers, trolls, etc.

It’s a whole universe of dickweeds and assholes like Rogan and Elon.  Really make me not want to live on the same planet.

Regarding Chili’s- there is one in seaside but I am not doing that to my stomach as I’m running a half this weekend and need clean digestion.  I’ll drink tonight and then the alcohol stops too .

 

 Yes I’m a small cat.🐈‍⬛

Who was the absolutely unhinged guy that started spaz posting in 2020 before the good news started rolling in? I think T Tom was already gone by then

On our AM trader call, our chief economist basically said a Trump victory would hasten the demise of the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency due to the fall of the US Economy (negative 1.5% GDP in the first year or two). So, if you are an economics only voter, that shoudl be enough to have you pull the lever for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

It really should and this has been hugely underreported on.  Gotta get those culture war clicks.

Bets on who's coming in swinging this time if things look somewhat good for Trump early?

I had a similar sentiment, then realize if he hadn't the Winks probably would have just fucked it up and maybe society would be in a better place.
