  1. In talking to a lot of blue collar Latinos in Texas I really don't think Kamala Harris ever had a chance with them. Especially since Biden was not out in front of a camera every week bragging about his accomplishments. 90% of people have no idea anything good Biden did. Things I heard: 1) Inflation or everything is more expensive than it was a few years ago 2) I'm living to paycheck to paycheck, whats up with all this free money to poor people / other countries? 3) A lot of them dislike undocumented Latinos for making them "look bad". 4) Trump is macho / sexism ~85% of people made up their mind before Kamala even entered the race. Believing Liz & Dick Cheney were awesome endorsements was stupid but don't think she really had a chance. Obama won 2x so don't agree with a candidate has to be white but yeah, sexism is on the rise.
  2. Well you see, there's poor black people in Detroit and no one wants that in their community. Kamala would win a landslide if she just called Amazon type companies etc pieces of shit towards their workers. Saying we are gonna dominate militarily gets 0% on net average voters. Probably loses votes.
  3. He said Biden was awesome for unions. He's not bought off by Trump he just wants unionization across the USA.
  4. The Teamsters union guy that has over 1 million Americans under him was on Theo's podcast. Know he's hated among Democrats because he didn't fall in line but he said his members are pretty split on the Presidency. He's not a hardcore Trumper or anything. He loves Bernie Sanders. Mainly said they've donated 6x more to the Dems and feel like they aren't being listened to as the Dems are now bought off by big corporations as well. Mentioned Amazon screwing over their employees and Democrats not listening. Maybe I'm an idiot but there are apparently millions of Americans that believe in climate change, fair pay, quality education and healthcare for all Americans. Kamala saying we are gonna have the most lethal military in the world and here's Dick Cheney is dumb. I'm still gonna vote for Kamala though obviously.
  5. I could kind of understand a normie Trump voter in 2016. Thinking Hillary Clinton is corrupt, hell most politicians are corrupt so I'm gonna roll the dice and go with an outsider and maybe something good will happen. It's now 2024 and 40 of 44 of his OWN cabinet members and former VP all said he's either dangerous or an idiot. How they had to stop him from trying to nuke hurricanes and Esper said he wanted to send missles into Mexico to go after cartels and they had to talk him down. These aren't looney tunes left wingers. These are Republicans that were excited about working for Trump then later said he's a disaster. Almost miss the days where Republicans just wanted to bomb brown people in the Middle East for oil otherwise were fairly normal. Now they read about the fake elector scheme and January 6th insurrection and think that sounds awesome.
  6. If betting markets are way off can't we all make a lot of money? I see it around 50/50 on most websites unless I'm missing something. I'm most worried about oil prices spiking due to the Middle East conflict or Americans believing tax dollars will flow into another war. And why is Dick Cheney in some Kamala ads? Who is this appealing to? Pretty sure everyone thinks he's an evil POS.
  7. Polymarket has Trump at 53% to win? I don't get it. What new voters has he gained? Maybe young Latinos. The machismo bit seems to appeal to a lot of them. And they feel more native than ever. Many don't speak Spanish today. I'm surprised how the 'close the border' appeals to many Latinos. And Catholic I guess.
  8. Biden really needs to get out there and start combating hurricane relief fund misinformation. Call Mike Johnson's ass out. MAGA today: Kamala should be ashamed of herself doing interviews while Americans are suffering in North Carolina and Florida! Trump is saving people. Also why are we giving all the funds to undocumented immigrants and Ukraine?
  9. Two wrongs don't make a right. "In Gaza, there have been over 41,000 deaths (around half women and children) over 90 percent of the population has been displaced, all schools have been closed since the beginning of the conflict, over half of Gaza's hospitals and primary health care centers are completely out of service, there's widespread food insecurity and two-thirds of employment lost, utilities have been severely degraded, and there are an estimated 40 million tons of rubble and debris in Gaza. Israelis have also suffered humanitarian impacts. In addition to the 1,200 initial deaths, many of the 250 Israeli hostages have now died. Over 100,000 Israelis have been displaced, particularly communities near the Gaza Strip and along the southern border with Lebanon. In southern Lebanon, some 210,000 people have been displaced since the fighting began in October 2023."
  10. The common advice now is well duh just turn off all emergency alerts because they are 100% pointless. Fucking imbeciles running these alerts.
  11. Yeah you gotta consider the free agents and cap wiggle room you have if your QB is cheap.
  12. Honestly perplexed at Cowboys fans that think Dak is worth $60 million a season. Not that Jerruh would do it but it's time to blow it up.
