  1. It's so hard for me every time I see his avatar not to just go down a violent path of ridicule.
  2. You nailed it. Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding.
  3. I mean, your general gist isn't wrong, but the details are not quite what you're suggesting. Door to Door sales is a major, major commercial business segment. Most companies use 3rd party door to door sales companies, who employ their own folks to go out and knock on doors and sell things. It can really boost sales numbers, so people/companies are addicted to those sales #s, but they're often highly fucking shady. In Energy, and Telecom, think about people who prey on old folks and get them to sign shit they don't understand. Or fake their signature. Etc. It often comes with a high level of regulator risk, so some companies won't employ Door to Door sale anymore. Elon basically hired a bunch of pros to do the door knocking. The only thing pros care about is fucking quotas. How many doors did you knock? How many sales did you make? It's a metrics game. And since they're usually third party working on temporary contracts, they're happy to fudge the fucking numbers to make their quotas/get their bonsues considering in a few weeks they'll be working on another contract somewhere else and there isn't much blowback. Contrast that mentality with people who are volunteering, or have more permanent type positions with a democratic party...people who actually care about the outreach and not just checking a box and getting paid. Or the Culinary Union in Nevada. These people care about actual results.
  4. Ah, Cypress, TX. Where I hate to go, and where my inlaws bitch constantly about how their neighborhood is now filled up with low IQ asshole renters, all of which vote the exact same way she does.
  5. Lol. I told you fuckers that the inherent fraud and theft associated with door to door companies would be off the charts. You, uh, trying to go for 3 Putt's crown, bud?
  6. Lol at Trump is a Christian. I mean, sure, lol at all of it, but yeah.
  7. This entire fucking article is basically detaling how Republicans and Trump fuck over these people, including a direct fucking comparison showing how Harris's emails are much, much clearler, and yet this is the fucking headline, the first message that people see following the link: Get all the way fucked, CNN. It's just fucking exhausting.
  8. I should have been more clear. One of the links I posted cited several Latino people who were complaining about the economy and the cost of groceries and basically still giving Trump a pass on all of the negative effects of Covid, while tying them to Harris. It's a perception versus reality thing. I realize Nevada is always close. It was super fucking close last time, as well. Which is why I'm sensitive to early returns, and why I am somewhat dismissive of the "I'll believe NV turns blue when it happens" angle that many posters here support, almost taking it for granted
  9. People also seem to split tickets disproportionally at the top, and people also seem to let memories linger. The poor economy isn't helping. The other article cited lingering weakness among the latino vote in Nevada. And lets not act like Biden whipped Nevada's ass, he won by 2%. It doesn't take much, and the early returns, albeit very limited, are concerning.
  10. I updated my post with some links.
  11. Oh, they are. They're all in for Harris, and they're knocking the doors. I was referring to hadnly the folks doing the work in/for the Culinary Union have remarked a lack of enthusiasm for Harris kind of a thing. https://thenevadaglobe.com/articles/culinary-union-warns-nevada-could-go-red/ https://www.npr.org/2024/10/01/g-s1-25479/nevada-latino-voters-trump-harris-culinary-union One of those articles also cites Nevada's incumbant Democratic governor getting ousted in 2022 as a sign that things are different.
  12. I mean, Nevada could be indicative of Arizona as well. I mean, outside of Ralson, hasn't the culinary union sounded some alarm as well?
  13. No, pretty sure below is how you humblebrag
  14. Well, guess that’s going to get repealed. Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted.
  15. Voted after work today in the heights, same location as JS1, after I noped out at lunch. The line after work was about 1/3 as long as it was at lunch, and it took 25 minutes start to finish. attempting to judge books by their covers, I didn’t see an overwhelming tilt one way or the other, and I certainly saw lots of what I would normally categorize as low turnout voters. But maybe I’m all wrong.
  16. a 500k person buffer in favor of D returns, I believe.
  17. All of the anecdotal evidence seems to point to NV going red.
  18. Cruz didn't wear his sports coat and shirt to the UT game. Dude always shows up in the gear of the team he's horsefucking.
  19. I drove by at like 730, it's hard for me to get out the door before 715 with the wife and kiddo, but yeah, if this continues I'll go wed or thurs morning and wait it out regardless.
  20. I'm spoiling for some conflict. Hell, I might instigate it regardless.
  21. Did a drive by of my voting location at lunch. The Harris county website said 11 minutes, but the parking lot was jammed and the line had to be an easy 100-150 deep. Line was probably almost as big as a football field. I'll keep trying until it's at a managable length. I did use the league of women voter website to print my pre-selected ballots for my votes with all the correct Judge tallies.
  22. I mean, it depends on how loose you want to get on what defines "normal." But a lot of realtors went, and went to jail, and then there was that one chick who instagramed her trip there on a private plane.
  23. I can use my cell phone while voting, right? I forget the rules But I have a list of judges and whatnot, and wouldn't mind a crib sheet.
  24. I drove by this AM just to check it out. Seemed managable. My plan is to go tomorrow during lunch.
  25. I feel like me loaning you that money speaks more to my poor financial judgement than the actual purchase does to your financial judgement.
