I want 2008 level. With AZ and GA blue and then a surprise, like FL or Texas barely flips but just enough, like Indiana did. All the incumbent Senate Dems win and one of Allred or DMP gets dragged across the finish line (whichever flips)

MAGA dies when enough Republicans decide it's dead.  At some point, non-MAGA Republicans need to take over the party, despite losing MAGAts.  If they lose badly enough, then the damage from keeping MAGA will prove to be more than the damage from rejecting MAGA.  That is my hope, one that seemed impossible a month ago.

Israel has no reason to help her win the election. Bibi is that big of an asshole because he knows she's not going to play ball like Biden did. 

They have an interest in having a good relationship with the next President.  Right now, that is increasingly looking like Harris.

This has nothing to do with that - it's why I didn't call out any specifics but gave a generic example. It has more to do with doing shit the president would be expected to do and getting it across the finish line so close to the election. 

It shows capability, continuity and strength.

Yeah, no thanks. I have no issue whatsoever with high schools being supplied with tampons (because I'm not a sociopath), but probably not a great idea to lean into an old white guy helping teenage girls with their flows.

The tampon issue is fucking dumb. MAGA is clutching their pearls at the sight of feminine products in the men’s room, but they fail to see the utility tampons provide men in times of need.

Don Jr would benefit from shoving a tampon up his bloody nose after getting punched in the face or snorting an 8 ball off a toilet seat.

I don't understand the incels.  If you want to meet girls, go to a Harris rally or a Taylor Swift concert.  

Seriously. The incels love the dudes (Fat Don and Putin) with more personal protection than all but two people on the planet. Yet those two rarely come out of their bunkers.

In contrast here's the Swifties after learning that Isis was planning a terror event in Vienna.

His brain is a puddle of diarrhea at this point. When he vaporlocked there, I was wondering if they were gonna need to usher him away a la mcconnell. He managed to reboot the system, but that was a bit weird, as people say.

I said it last night but it needs to be repeated. If she does some big shit as VP/practice president with Biden in the next month or two including something like being the primary negotiator for the cease fire and hostage release in the Middle East that will seal the fucking deal. 

It would be really easy to do but I have severe doubts about that happening. Not because she's not capable, mind you. I agree that showing something will seal the deal for her, it doesn't necessarily have to include a ceasefire but it would be nice and obviously very helpful for her.

Either way I'll be the happiest I've been pullling the lever since Obama's 2nd term.

Yeah I just used an example she called out at her own rally as something she is promising she's doing if she delivers campaign promises because she's already elected things are gonna go boom.

Yeah, Swities are older than you think.  It wasn't teenage girls paying $1K per ticket and traveling around the country to see the concert.

Odds on Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala? I know this is an unpopular opinion but I don’t think she will openly support the ticket if it hurts her economic bottom line.

My MAGA sister and her kids are huge Swifties, but they also love Trump more and would probably start burning all her merchandise if she supported Harris. But knowing them, they’d probably just re-buy all the shit they torched after the election is over so it would theoretically still put more money in Taylor’s pocket.

Swift has had more than enough money to live off interest and investments for over a decade. The only people who need the royalties to keep coming in are the hangers-on, and while I don't think she would want to jeopardize their livelihood I also think she would receive enough of a boost to offset whatever losers try to "cancel" her.

So this happened while somebody was getting medical attention in the crowd.   There is SO much real ammo to go after Trump with, yet people tweet shit like that.   Infuriating 

Musk incentivizes shit like this too.   Maddening

Yeah Swift had a fight with her "team" in 2018 when she came out against Marsha Blackburn. Her dad brought up the Republicans buy sneakers line from Jordan and that he was more worried about her safety given how psychotic MAGA are. She still overruled them and supported the other candidate and encouraged her fans to register to vote. Then she released You Need To Calm Down to show her support for the LGBTQ+ community. 

I gleaned all this from the Ms. Americana documentary we watched with our oldest daughter on Netflix. I feel she'll endorse Kamala when she gets back to the States from her European tour at the end of the month. She's said before that she wants to be standing on the right side of history.

Over a decade?  More like several lifetimes.

My daughter turned 18 last week and she’s filling out her voter registration card today. She’ll be at the University of Oregon this Fall, but will vote via mail. It won’t make much of a difference, but we’re doing our part to help Texas turn blue violet purple magenta not so fucking blood red.

damn they poached all our recruits

I tried so hard to twist this into a South Austin's mom joke but I just couldn't do it without it sounding creepy.

Alas.

I don't think she'll specifically, verbally/post an endorsement of Harris/Kamala for reasons above.  A very simple, "Swifties/Ladies/Girls......Get out there, register today!  And vote in November!  We're not going anywhere!"  Everybody will know what that means, even if it also means yeah...it bring out 50,000 MAGA voters who also love her music.  Numerically speaking, it's not a gamble...it's a rounding error.  She doesn't need the additional headache of MAGA troglodytes following her around, particularly since they just broke up a suicide bomb ring at one of her shows.  She also gives a shit about her fans, unlike Ted Nugent and Kid Rock.  

Remember, her first #1 album was in 2008.  Say the youngest Swifties were 10 at the time.  That puts them at 26 now.  First international tour in 2010, putting them at 24.  Say the oldest were in college at the time.  That puts them in their mid-to-late 30's likely with little up-n-coming Swifties of their own.  Millions upon millions of them.  A huge portion of which are just now outta college and getting politically engaged.  Nevermind the 18-26yo chunk that got hooked along the way at her peak stardom and are now voting in their first, maybe second, election of their lifetime.  I like those odds a lot.  

I am absolutely taking my daughter to vote with me after school or on Saturday during early voting.  You are absolutely entitled to have somebody join you in the booth if you're having trouble getting around/reading.  And I'll fill out all the boring races first, then scroll back to page 1, highlight Harris-Walz and tell her "This is for you and the Swifties like you...anything is possible" and hit submit.  And she gets to feed it into the exit machine alongside with me.  

And on Election Day proper, while she's in school learning the pages that haven't been banned from her Social Studies class...I get to what I did in 2020.  Drive to a couple of polling places in Far East Austin.  Don't touch anybody, don't pass out water, but I can pace back and forth and speak with them in Spanish about any issues they're having with registration or voting.  And directing them to the proper website or phone number.  And just like in 2020, there'll be cosplay fatties milling around the parking lot for purposes of "Election Integrity" (read: intimidation).  And I get to do some crowdwork making fun of these guys in Spanish to the folks in line to help pass the time.  You'd be surprised how long it takes these guys to realize we're laughing at them, not with them.  

But yes, let's do the Swiftie thing first.  I'm joining that zoom call with my oldest and if she wants to make a donation, I'll use my CC and can put the cash in her piggy bank.

Dude, you gotta put captions on those faces ("you can't tell the players without a program").  I think the last guy sold his car to George Costanza, but I could be wrong.
