Unfortunately, Bibi has a rock solid majority in the Knesset, so unless his coalition completely collapses, he's the PM until October 2026.

[Harris+Walz] The 2024 DNC: TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!
Nancy was leaning hard on Joe, but she absolutely did not anticipate either the timing of the decision or the rapid consolidation of the rank-and-file around Kamala. I think she was envisioning a freewheeling brawl on the floor of the United Center. Turns out the following were the opinions of most Democrats: Willing but unimpressed to slog out a joyless campaign with Joe at the helm The decision to withdraw is Joe's and Joe's alone In the event he withdraws, VP Harris is the only way forward The speed at which the party rallied around Harris is stunning. The replacement process was all over in about 3 hours, and completed with an amount of energy that I haven't seen in the Democratic base since 2008. I didn't think that the Democratic Party was capable of such a thing.

If they actually believed all of this, they would be turning in a straight ticket Democrat ballot.

HIllary is in one of the dark slots on the card, before the networks show up. Let her talk, then get her out of the way. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/19/g-s1-17601/dnc-speakers-list-lineup-monday-biden

Pelosi was able to do what Mitch McConnell was either unable or unwilling to do. She didn't expect the timing, or the rapid consolidation around Kamala Harris.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I don't know if/when Predictit will post their markets for Florida, but if you're looking for underdogs at a price, Democrat to win Florida President and Senate are worth throwing a few bucks on.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Say what you want about the cheese heads, but they've been crawling through glass to vote Democrat since the spring of 2018. Meanwhile, across the St Croix, the top of the GOP ticket will have a deadbeat dad joining the rapist/felon. Good luck!- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Abortion and weed. Abortion and weed. Abortion and weed. If those ballot initiatives in Florida finish anywhere near the 60% required to pass, that's a huge problem for what's left of the GOP elsewhere on the ballot.- 2024 Paris Olympics
One big reason why these Olympics have been a runaway success this time is joy. The last two Olympics have been behind closed doors, run from a ChiCom gulag with them shoving swabs into noses and hauling off anyone who popped hot for COVID, or with everyone in Japan locked up in their hotels. You have to go back to February 2018 in the mountains of South Korea to find anyone who was visibly enjoying themselves. Looking forward to Los Angeles in 2028.- 2024 Paris Olympics

The instant that Obama finished off Hillary in 2008, every Democrat knew that Hillary was going to be the nominee in 2016, baggage be damned. That 2010 midterm had turned out to be even worse than initially figured.- Women’s Basketball

I realize that the abortion and weed ballot measures are not going to get what they're polling at (both have been polling in the upper 60s). But if they end up anywhere near the 60% threshold for passage, there is a ton of room for growth by both Harris and whoever wins the Senate primary against Rick Scott, and a massive liability for Republicans downballot. For comparison's sake, the Michigan abortion ballot won 56-44 and gutted the GOP at all levels.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

- Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee
The Minneapolis riots may be tried to use as a cudgel, but Walz had the Guard called up as soon as state law allowed him. Unfortunately, city management had to ask first, and by the time they did shit had gone totally sideways. Speaking of the Minnesota Guard, someone tried to Swift Boat him in the deep stretch of his 2018 campaign, by falsely accusing him of rank embellishment. The Guard rather quickly put a halt to this attempt. Unfortunately, this is the case. MN-1, the USHoR district he won in the 2006 blue wave, has gotten really, really Trumpy. I know several farmers who are in that district, and to a man they think he's a liburrl poser. Then again, most of them also think that the tax dollars subsidize the city slickers. The reverse is actually true.- Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee
...and the winter before had the second-most snow ever recorded. Even if you include the Fort Snelling pioneer records. It started snowing in mid-November and that shit didn't stop until April. Sorry, but it's too fucking hot in KC. - 2024 MLB Season Thread - Catch All
