These polls are not intended to have an effect on the outcome of the election. Rather, their purpose is to tee up Big Lie 2.0, Trump’s argument that he was ahead, the polls showed it and that any Harris victory has to be the result of cheating. 

Hey dipshits, remember 2016? Guess that means you cheated to win, huh.

Atlas is releasing ANOTHER batch of polls tonight. Literally can’t wait for them to be banned for obvious spamming. You cannot produce accurate results polling every single day, somehow 


 

nothing like a Brazilian based pollster spamming shitty polls every day. I guess if the checks still cash.

The guy who cuts my hair is a post Vietnam war immigrant, and the only thing he has latched onto politically in the decades  he’s lived here is that the GOP is anti-communist and the Democrats are communist.    When asked about the GOP and Russia, he looked me right in the eye and said “Russia is no longer communist.”
His journey to the GOP took no more effort than calling Democrats the “C” word because they did not support the war in Vietnam. And like many Vietnamese, he is a stauch Catholic, and totally onboard the one issue abortion train.

Shouldn't you be in the spa getting a treatment, or on the Lido deck watching a twerk contest?

So they are saying the female vote will be less?

The big takeaway is this year's NYT poll has no relation to the reality we've seen of an early voting surge of women. We don't know about how they model their "Likely Voters," but they are obviously looking backward at the overall gender profile of who voted in 2020, and then shaping their current polling results to fit a similar overall profile.

Damn. Tight as hell.

And has Rosen +5

Definitely tight as well, but he has maintained Rosen has more crossover appeal - she's well liked by indies and Republicans.

I know Trump still has a small, passionate base but overall the energy levels of his supporters comes across as much lower than 2016 and 2020. The low energy crowd will still most likely vote for him but they seem to just want everything to be over.

Also he spent the last 3 weeks doom posting for Dems and click farming just to pick Harris.

My father, who has a "FJB" sticker on his garage beer fridge, muted every single political commercial - from either side - when I was at his house watching football this weekend.  I know he voted for Trump, but there is absolutely no excitement in that household about tomorrow night.

I think the poll out of Kansas showing over 65-year-old voters with a 15 point preference for Harris - which aligns with what Queen Ann in Iowa found - is the single current statistic I’m most focused on.

The women over 65 that got their rights in their lifetime aren’t going to let their daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters go back.

They should’ve fired early and often on all of those lowlifes as soon as they broke the first barricade on January 6. We should have no quarter and tolerance for insurrection. 

Watching live when it first started, I was thinking "I can't believe I'm about to watch dozens of people get mowed down on live TV." Nope.

In Nevada is that like 50 votes?

Maybe like 3k or so? 

CCM won by .8% and that was 8k votes.

All I know is 2 of the best prognosticators - Ralston and Selzer - see Harris winning / doing well, so why all the dooming??

I have a brief I have to submit to the office by COB Tuesday, so I keep fitfully working on it.   it’s also a dead bang loser - as it is a request for re-hearing to an unfriendly appellate court.   i’m trying to say what I wanna say without being sanctioned. “You stupid fucks should resign” keeps sneaking its way in there.

Since I got to the farm this morning, 2 people I know voted for Trump in '16 and '20 told me (without me initiating the conversation in either case) that they can't vote for him anymore.  One of them said she's probably voting for Harris because of how hard the Republicans have gone after abortion (she's a 36 year old white woman with 2 daughters under 10) and that she doesn't want her daughters to grow up without those rights and protections.  The other (50 year old white guy) isn't voting for Harris, but either skipping the presidential ballot altogether or voting 3rd party out of protest.

Who is the conservative protest vote?  Rfk if he’s on the ballot in that state?  Libertarian?

To be fair, I just want y'all to know that those of you slumming at other Chili's will be looked down upon by those at the mothership...

https://austin.eater.com/2024/4/10/24126715/chilis-at-45th-and-lamar-day-austin-official-proclamation-april-5

As for what to eat, here you go... Surly Approved Chili's Food Items

 

 

So - Mayor Kirk Watson isn't very online and did not have any awareness of the whole "Chili's at 45th and Lamar" thing.  An aide suggested he do the proclamation, and he was initially confused  about the reason why.  They explained it to him, but the thing is that the Mayor really likes Chilis, and that happens to be the Chilis location he goes to.

That is actually super adorable.  Kids need to be exposed to voting early so it becomes instilled as something you do and you're proud to do. 

We did that with my daughter when she was real young.  She was a little over two when she came with us to Murchison Middle School on Election Day as we voted for Obama, and I recall we did the same in 2012.  I didn't vote with her in the subsequent elections, and I'm not sure how much of an impression that made on her, but she turned 18 in August and made the effort to mail in her ballot from college.  So that made me feel good.

I understood absolutely none of that.  

My understanding:

SM influencer in nyc has “pet” squirrel

someone alerts local authorities, because squirrel is not allowed to be kept in the…that ain’t legal either. 
 

Authorities confiscate and euthanize squirrel. 
 

trump morons try to use it to rally the troops. 
 

Saw later on that the influencer also does gay porn. 
 

No interest in fact checking any of the above.

This thread moves too fast for me to reply within a normal time frame, so sorry if this already been covered. 
 

I think the military should mount a couple of massive machine gun turrets on the sides of the capitol, the White House, and the VP residence. And they should then put a few target practice dummies out there and absolutely unload on them. Spread that widely on social media. Insurrection mobilization neutralized. 
 

They should’ve fired early and often on all of those lowlifes as soon as they broke the first barricade on January 6. We should have no quarter and tolerance for insurrection. 

Agree 100% except firing live rounds.  Might as well do it now while Biden is still Potus.  Word will get out.

I always took my daughters to vote, and I'm so proud they both were motivated to go through the rigamarole to vote absentee from Scotland and NYC in their first presidential election.

My 2 year-old and 1 month-old have both been in the voting booth with me. Yet when I try to turn on MSNBC for election coverage, all I hear is "Noooooo, want watch Trash Truck!". Youths...
