  1. He's a gay though. 55% of the country think there's something wrong with that (NTTAWWT)
  2. The biggest "winner" is Gavin Newsom. Kept his powder dry, was a good soldier, and he will be leading up the "resistance" for four years
  3. Wouldn't the internals and turnout data have foretold all this, though? Journos are pretty good at knowing who's feeling confident behind the scenes and why. Meanwhile Charlie Kirk and Pee Wee German were freaking the fuck out, especially about the gender gap. This wasn't just a polling miss, it was an everything miss.
  4. This could be copium, or maybe sour grapes, but I agree with you. It's not adding up.
  5. These numbers are really no different from what I expected from Biden if he'd stayed in. Allowing him to run for re-election in the first place was a massive miscalculation by the party. What shocks me is that none of the 2016-style alarm bells were going off, and all the favorability numbers and conventional wisdom were saying this would either be a close race or a blowout in Harris's favor. Taylor Swift getting all those new registrations? All these records being shattered in big cities? Fewer Trump signs and people falling asleep at his rallies? The Dobbs effect? Her massive cash advantage and all these field offices and organized ground game? Was all of that a big lie? The only thing I knew to be true going into last night was that Mexican-Americans have absolutely abandoned the Democrats, perhaps forever. I sensed it on a recent trip to the RGV, and last night's results confirmed it. Hillary Clinton won Starr County by nearly 80 percent, Biden barely held onto it, and this year it went red by a lot. "Fun" Fact: Starr County is the first place where a DA prosecuted a woman for having an abortion, before Dobbs. Harris also lost the population centers of McAllen and Brownsville. That was unthinkable twenty years ago. RGV has now become a mini West Virginia, where only incumbent Dems with strong name recognition have any chance. I think Harris ran a near-perfect campaign. She did not make the mistakes Hillary made. This one's on the voters.
  6. The DNC is a model of incompetency and it starts at the top.
  7. That map with all the red arrows on it, we can try to dissect it or overanalyze it. I wouldn't. It only means that propaganda works. The tech bros have won. Condolences.
  8. Next up, Goofus?
  9. They've done a great job of not releasing any details about Pop's illness
  10. This shit is on Musk and Zucc for creating algorithms that forcefeed idiotic content to susceptible rubes. It's not just for Boomers anymore
  11. She needs to win that last 1M-1.5M by over 250k.
  12. This place is notorious for saying Fire CDC and Sark the moment Bolden drops a pass. I love it here.
  13. That was a big Trump county in 2020 wasn't it?
  14. didn't Trump win that county by a lot in 2020
  15. I have it on good authority Harlingen will knock Westlake out of the playoffs
  16. Has Paxton filed an emergency lawsuit to bring back poll taxes in Georgia and PA?
  17. This is one of my top pet peeves. I see it at work all the time, as well. People just shove a chart in my face and expect me to understand how to interpret it and simply to agree that it means what they think it means
  18. Avoid CNN and all horserace purveyors. They know how to find dumber-than-rocks voters and to elicit ragebait from them. Just accept that 30-40 percent of all people are completely and irredeemably stupid, and as stupid as they are, they are even more selfish and heartless than they are stupid. Accept that, move on, and try not to fixate on it.
  19. But what if you're sick or injured? That's too much of a risk. It will probably never matter for a presidential or statewide race but it could be the difference between someone competent keeping the lights on vs a clown banning books in your child's schools
  20. I can't believe how many people in my personal social circle wait until Election Day to vote. I just don't get it.
