  1. I like it. I wish the American voter did.
  2. I think as far as skill, her campaign was much that Biden's. But, she is neither white nor a man, so she did not get as many votes. It is an indictment of the American voter.
  3. If the Gaza issue was impactful, it was likely showing up in the (lack of) youth vote. But, yeah, it was always going to be a wedge issue that difficult to navigate.
  4. People need to chill. Harris may lose. It’s not anyone’s fault except for the shitstains who voted for Trump. Have some fucking grace for folks on your side.
  5. I wouldn’t necessarily read that as panic. Having cops at minority-heavy polling locations is a common way of trying to suppress their vote. I don’t know how effective it is anymore, but I think he reading from the script rather. A very shitty script.
  6. We’re not asking some random sampling of what policies the Democratic Party has shifted far to the left on. We are asking you. Do you have an answer that you are willing to share.
  7. They’ll buy the burners and then post pictures of themselves on social media.
  8. My two cents: I think Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin are similar in Midwestern Popularism, but most notable in Minnesota. Not only do you get Walz as governor, but Jesse Ventura 20 years ago. The Dems in Minnesota are officially called DFL : “Democratic - farm - labor”. But, a lot of the same feel in parts of Iowa and Wisconsin, then lesser so as you get into Nebraska, Kansas… But over the last 30 years, national politics has preempted state politics. There used to be prolife Dems in Nebraska who could win elections. Now, there aren’t any left and they wouldn’t win elections if they did exist. The Obamacare vote doomed the last Nebraskan Senator. The “all politics is local” isn’t really true anymore in the age of syndicated talk radio and cable news. I think over the last 10 years you are seeing a resurgence of more progressive, common sense movements as a reaction to complete Republican dominance and overreach in places like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. Hopefully that grows.
  9. You and Morris may be right. But what Selzer is telling me is that under a different set of assumptions-that are realistic and supported by a very respected pollster - Harris wins in a landslide. And yeah, that’s a data point that is aligning with my gut. It aligns with other data points that I admittedly filter for, because it matches my gut. But it’s still a valid, compelling data point. (Worth noting that extrapolating from other IA polls, she still wins the election, but much tighter.)
  10. And this is how the fascists win. Actually, for those who can't/won't make it to a Chili's I recommend restaurants owned by immigrants, women, or POC. They have the biggest jeopardy in this thing, and I know I ain't driving 4 hours to Spokane for a fucking Chilis.
