    Well, once upon a time there was a boy who swam for Texas…

    Meanwhile, on Texags: FrioAg 00 6:36p AG The more I look at this, the more it looks like a "damn the torpedos" type of Hail Mary from someone looking to impact the outcome And if smart (if unwise) pollsters are doing that, maybe this is a good sign

    oh hey guys, here's the "unskewed" version

    I haven't talked about it on this thread but I am beyond proud that both of my daughters have the opportunity to vote for not only the first woman to be president*, but also the woman whose election saves the American experiment in a moment of grave peril. *Inshallah!

    Split the difference and that would be Trump +3.5 and I'd still be elated. This thread needs some prime Ludivine Sagniere with a black eye, beaten but unbowed.

    I’ve got dusties of RY10, ETL, and Rockhill Farms that have sat in my back shelf for close to a decade. One of these days I’ll get to them. I like them all, there was just a long period where I was very dialed in and wound up with more great whiskey than I needed. Shit I just gave away a bottle of MWND Act 3 scene 1

    She’s done great. If this goes the wrong way it will be because we don’t deserve better.

    Kid got off easy. Social media made these kids way too comfortable disrespecting people for their own real life safety.
  11. Bozo_Casanova
    Yeah but that doesn’t help Ted Cruz and Donald Trump get elected

    For once, an incredibly accurate headline on Fox News.

    Oh and by the way- they are not “interchanged.” Using them both is a “giveaway” that I know what the fuck I’m talking about and referring to a crucial distinction, ie the laws that were passed and the way that programs were deployed and managed. Way to defend the party, though. You should go on a speaking tour.

    And look at you now!

    I can't decide what's a more on-brand behavior of progressive Democrats towards people who are culturally middle and working class: assuming we don't trust them anymore because we need a political history lesson about the civil rights era or accusing us of bad faith, rooted in either hidden agendas or personal confusion/ignorance. Speaking on. behalf of every American who has ever had the rent for a shirt with their name embroidered on it deducted from their wages, you seem to have missed the point.

    Democrats have no agency, they were innocent bystanders to repealing GS, the bankruptcy bill, private student loans, making the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent, not holding anyone accountable for the financial crisis, etc.

    Are you posting from Egypt? Because you are in denial.

    Good post. He also wrote a book called “A Place Called Freedom” and features a scene involving the payment of “Arles,” which in this case involved the laird of a Scottish coal mine giving a few shillings to the family of an infant at their Baptism and then they swear their child’s labor, life and soul to service of the laird. This was a practice that persisted in the UK from the Middle Ages into the early 1900’s. In real life a lot of those scots miners came to America and went to work mining coal in Appalachia, and brought the mentality of bound servitude with them, which persists today.

    And I did! If my hypothesis is correct (essentially, white college grads and women combined with lower enthusiasm among trump voters than in 2020) this is what happens. It's basically a 2-3 point underestimation of Harris in the polling average, with an exception for Nevada.
  21. Bozo_Casanova
    Nah. That one got to him and I sort of regretted it, even though it was true. I think the election is really starting to wear on him, and I get a sense that while he’s going to vote for Trump he’ll be relieved if Harris wins, because he’s starting to put disclaimers around his support- that he knows Trump is a “liar,” “boorish,” a “cad,” “probably corrupt” and so forth, but “strong for America.” I think a lot of decent old people with bad media diets have sort of painted themselves into a corner here and are hoping the rest of us bail them out so they can complain about Harris nonstop and avoid facing the truth.

    The short answer is that the RGV operates on the basis of machine politics and the machines are coin operated. Two things: 1) the ”Hispanic vote” is not a thing. Show me a Hispanic voter who otherwise checks the socioeconomic-demographic boxes of a Republican voter and I’ll show you a Republican voter 2) to the extent that there is upside for Democrats to find in the Hispanic population it’s going to be in urban centers, not the RGV, because until Democrats are a least competitive at the statewide level the RGV machines are going to drift towards the money.

    He’s right. One of my high school teachers was much beloved but is all-in on Trump, and we stay in touch. I told him this the other day: “If Trump wins, 3 generations of students who loved you will remember you for that. You grandkids will remember you for that. You won’t be the guy that took them camping. You won’t be the teacher they looked up to or the grandfather who taught them to fish. You’ll just be a Trumper, until enough years pass that you pass from living memory and nobody knows who you were or talks about you anymore.”
