  1. You're preaching to the choir here. If I ever win the lotto, I'm running for President just for the chance to publicly dunk on the dumbest political journalists.
  2. I seriously think it's because all their money is coming from Elon and the rest of the paypal mafia, who are all obsessed with their hatred of trans people and think the anti-trans shit works politically. It's probably not a good idea to rely so heavily on a group of people who thought Blake Masters would appeal to voters.
  3. The main reason I think the polls are overestimating Trump and underestimating Harris is that there are no other indicators really that he's even close at this point. His small dollar fundraising sucks, the enthusiasm with his base is clearly down, they've got no serious GOTV operation to speak of, etc. I'm concerned about the senate, and I'm concerned that they may be able to keep it close enough in few enough states to give SCOTUS a pretext to try to throw it to him, but there's literally no reason to think he's actually seriously competitive in the EC right now other than a bunch of polls being run by people openly saying "look this has a high MOE and we really have no fucking idea" because polling is obviously broken due to the myriad reasons we've discussed over and over here.
  4. Weird how they don't look red in real life. What's the media trying to imply here?!
  5. The last fucking thing Dems need to do is let Trump dictate the conversation. Jesus Christ, Eddie.
  6. Yeah it sucks that so many people are like this, but that's how it is. And if we want to win and enact policies that we like, we need to win a bunch of votes from voters like this. The good news is it can be done without actually substantively watering down the policies we champion out of a misguided effort at triangulation, because these voters don't know shit about policy. They want someone who they think will care about them and they want to support candidates and policies they think are popular. It's really that simple.
  7. This could go in the abortion thread but I'm putting it here: She Voted for Trump. Then She Had Two Terrifying Miscarriages in Texas: Victoria was a Trump voter, but this isn't a "I can't believe the leopard I voted for is eating my face!" story. She wasn't politically active and didn't know shit about Trump or his policies. She saw a soundbite or two and made a snap decision that she liked his whole "outsider" thing and didn't put any more thought into than that. There are millions if not tens of millions of American voters like her. They're why Trump won in 2016. Who here seriously thinks they're all going to break for him again?
  8. You're a bad person and so are your friends.
  9. Mypillows selling for 1488 is I'm sure just a total coincidence.
  10. Why would I attempt discourse with someone who probably thinks shooting at a hurricane would stop it from hitting his house?
  11. Pro-Ukraine Trump voter has to be about as stupid as they come right?
  12. Whitaker also didn't seem to even know that the TCJA was expiring. His interview was just questioning and responding to her with bog-standard GOP talking points, he wasn't actually trying to conduct a substantive interview.
  13. Let's test this. @Zeus, @markstanco, what's y'all's thoughts on whether these hurricanes are being engineered by the gubmint? ETA: Sorry Bevo, I confused you with Zeus for a moment there.
  14. "It's not fair she was prepared!" is such an unreal self own. I believe falling for this qualifies you as an idiot.
  15. People should be summarily executed for peddling this kind of disinformation.
  16. I just did like ten seconds of googling and see that Pennsylvania calls their early voting "in person mail ballot" voting and what the fuck does that mean?
  17. Hey @markstanco, you ever going to explain this one to us simpletons?
  18. It's so funny to think that a huge goddamn storm that probably just delayed opening that fucking mine by at least a year is somehow beneficial to the mining company.
  19. There's no way to reconcile this decision with the earlier Idaho ruling. It's pure abuse of the shadow docket to impose their agenda on as many people as they think they can without inviting a huge public backlash.
  20. HG gets it. And if he runs he'll definitely get their nomination and it will probably be pretty close in the general.
