Michigan is looking really good. All that matters is PA and WI with it to hit 270. Anything else is just bonus.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I'm not so sure that'd do anything to be honest. I have a working theory, Eeyoric (made that word up) in nature, that the former New Deal loving Reagan is what ultimately led to our long demise and that the die is already cast. Breaking out of the second Gilded Age will not have the people supporting Progressive ideas or rural Populist ideas that Co-Ops and government could be a solution to banking and big business. Nobody is coming for the trusts this time because "The government can do nothing good" is now as American as anything else in our collective ethos. Of course the idea of limited government wasn't invented by 80s Republicans, but the push against Socialism was so strong that our own institutions were a casualty. The public trust had already been under attack since the Vietnam Era and Nixon, which was necessary, but instead of reform we have chosen the big business and R position that tearing everything down is the only answer. Which is wild, because people hate big business but yet they actively vote to tear down the only protections they have from it.

Obscura or Pilsner? There is a right answer.

They're going to be a couple years behind us, so I'd rent instead of buying.

Even removing the obviously skewed R polls aren't showing a great trend except in MI. btw, How pissed are you going to be when Kamala wins and the MSM says she was going to lose until the PR comments?

We've seen some theories here that polls were going to correct toward Kamala near the end and we've seen some theories that R leaning polls were going to push a narrative of it was impossible for Kamala to win. All of the swing states that were saying Kamala had a slight lead in the NYT aggregate now say it's a tie or a Trump lead. Polling better be wrong again or we are toast.

Chase ATM's give away free money....
That's what I spend 30% of my day doing. Along with explaining to olds that they're getting scammed.

Sorry it was from @Bozo_Casanova's link showing young men almost as strong for Kamala as young women.

According to the focus group guy on PSA it's mostly rubes (my words, not his) who think that the economy was better under Trump and don't believe that he's going to be that bad "because democracy wasn't threatened last time."

It's not like those of us left behind are in any better of a spot. TX, OK, WV, KS, UT, FL, OH, and IA I guess AZ and CO are cool, for now.

San Antonio Spurs 2024-25 - Taking it in the pooper for Cooper
I did like trying to find Castle at the end to seal the game. "Here you go rookie, no place to hide, go win it." He did miss one of the FTs but Pop put him in that position in the 2nd game of his career.
