    You know, might send a message to other billionaires that’s it is a bit risky to try to buy a Presidential Election.

    No, he's not. You are doing what a lot of people do: you see a problem and you attribute the cause as something you see as deficient. But, if there was really a cause and effect between these problems and that deficiency, if Trump was winning this voting block due to economic policy, nobody would be talking about "white working class" - it would just be "working class." Full stop. It's absurd to pretend that this is an economic policy issue. I would love to see more progressive policies. But, the House candidate my wife worked for four years ago was a Medicare for All proponent, in a district that went to Biden, and she lost by 5 points. The people prefer Biden's moderate economic policies. It's why you don't hear M4A discussed at all this cycle. It lost. In part, because the blue collar labor union members were against it.

    That’s fricken hysterical.

    I feel like you are reposting this from a couple hundred pages ago. On how many of those issues did the Democrats compromise the final position, but were coming at it from the direction you are advocating? Are you arguing against Democratic policy, or the inevitable consequence of not being able to magically implement it? And there is no NAFTA; Trump negotiated its replacement. (I wish Dems were better at messaging that.)

    I’ll give it a B+ for pivoting to Cheney’s Mideast policy. Getting Liz’s and Dick’s endorsements may help with some Republicans, but it’s a bit dicey for progressives, isolationists, and Muslims. I’m sure his handlers would rather be having that discussion rather than the one about whether Trump is calling for Cheney’s execution.

    To put it a different way, it’s seen as an accurate poll of Midwestern middle class whites. If he’s losing ground there he is fucked in Wisconsin and probably Michigan. Similar to NE-2, although NE-2 is tainted by the last minute attempt to disenfranchise the voters.

    No, if he said late voting was blacker, that’d be racist.

    I assume we will have an Election Day music thread on Tuesday.

    Regardless of the reasons, we get that’s not a great time for you or your wife. I’m sorry you’re going through it.

    Hey, I'm angry too, but don't do anything rash.

    Yeah, my covenant in Golden Valley MN had a bunch weird stuff about the total number of different animals you could have on the property and shit like that, but also one about one about no interracial couples. All then had an expiration date of like 20 years out from the original, except the racist one.

    Same here. Of course the fucked up thing is that this preference reflects how I decided to set up my life. I could just change the time I go to work, go to sleep, and wake up.

    Some of them did. But Trump was touting how he invented the various vaccines and his CDC was pushing folks to get them. He was still part of the industrial medical conspiracy. Promising RFKjr control is a major shift.
  14. Tuco
    I would add: - Anti-vaxxers, anti-establishment left leaners who will come over with RFKjr - Racists who aren't inclined for a black woman. (I think Trump already captured a big chunk of these, but actually running against a black person will help get more, particularly from anti-black Latinos) - Variety of sexists who won't vote for a woman

    With 6 days until the finish, I don't know how important the "national vibes" are. This is get out-the-vote time. So far, that NBC article is the only one I've found, and it makes him sound like a nutter, because he is. I could see it as an attempt to energize his base - projecting confidence and momentum. I can see it as a distraction from other narratives. But, mostly I see it as a deluded, crazy old man.
  16. Tuco
    Well, one of us wrong on the polls (from NBCNews ).
  17. Tuco
    Me neither. That may be one of the few reasons why I am still alive. I think that sandwich was designed by a struggling cardiologist.
  18. Tuco
    That's a clever way to cover up the smell.

    Has anyone checked on the former first lady recently?
  20. Tuco
    I tried that, but gave up after "Sioxa Sirrah sdneirf..."

    This article says maybe 3k in the Lancaster area plus a few hundred throughout Pennsylvania.
  22. Tuco
    He's 94 years old. Does anyone think he pulled out his I-phone and typed that? Edit to add from Wiki:

    I agree it's bullshit. But, if it's contingent on the SC being on board and allowing the clock to run, I think it is reasonable they would also say they are not constrained by ERCA. The latter is more likely than the former. But it's all nonsense. In that scenario, you may as well just speculate they would agree with the MAGA plaintiffs on the hypothetical lawsuits and declare Trump the winner of that particular state. That would provide Trump with much better coverage for taking power than relying on loopholes. Why complicate it.
  24. Tuco
    Actually the article says it wouldn't get to that point. The scheme would be to remove blue electors (by delaying until they are past the deadline) until red electors are the majority of the remainder.
  25. Tuco
    It would still require a Jan 3 Congress to certify the vote. Do you think a Democratic Congress will certify that? So, you would need to have the current, razor thing Congress go along with not extending the deadlines for electors. You would need to have the Supreme Court delay the state rulings past the deadline. Then you would need the SC to rule that the completely arbitrary, not-Constitutionally mandated deadline would take priority to recognizing the votes of millions of people. Then you would need the Jan 3 Congress to certify the obviously tainted election. Then you would need Biden to handing the keys over to Trump, someone who is obviously a fascist dictator who seized power by undemocratic, unConstitutional ways. If you get past the third step, with the SC, it may get into some "constitutional crisis" grey area, but there is still a lot of off-ramps before handing the keys over to Trump.
