2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

[BamaATL 16593]

A last bit of food for thought, what if Selzer is wrong?  But not in the way we all knee-jerked to, i.e. within her margin or error of 3; instead of 47 in Iowa it'd be 50.  

 

Now that friends, would be a lot of fun.

Here's that fantastic cold open with Kamala. The guy who does Trump nailed his impression of that speech.
 

Just watched it. Was fantastic.

- What a fucker!

- What's more chickenshit than fuckin' with a man's political yard sign? I mean, don't fuck with another man's yard sign!

- You don't do it!

I finally saw the whole clip and I don’t think he realizes he’s even doing the blow job with the mic. This could be the straw that breaks the homophobes backs.

Our Selzer, who art in Iowa,

hallowed be thy name

thy toplines come,

thy trends be true

in Wisconsin as they are in Iowa

Give us this day your last poll

and forgive us our pollercoaster,

as we forgive other pollsters

and lead us not into doomerism,

but deliver us from Trump, amen

Trump has hosted SNL twice, once during his 2015 campaign.

Candidates have made cameo appearances on SNL but I’m not aware of any other candidate that has hosted.

There is zero chance both Pennsylvania and Michigan are tied. No way. And especially not after the Iowa poll.

For some reason this got me, and not for any particular reason. I just got really sad thinking that women are going to save democracy, and it came to be that way because we treat them like fucking shitty second class citizens. Gimme 100 years of matriarchy. Maybe with Mayor Pete sprinkled in.

Is that Iowa poll real? How could it be? Hmmm...

 

Yeah thinking that Dobbs is old news is a huuuuuge mistake.  It's a bit lower profile, but it's now at the state phase and getting real.

I can't wait for some backlash in state elections, where the christofascism has been more subtle and effective.

PA/MI aren’t ties. Michigan will be the bluest of the blue wall states. 

100% everything breaking late for her. Reverse 2016, optically 

[Pancho 44708]

Their argument this morning?

Kamala’s cold open skit on SNL was plagiarized because turnip did it first. This means she the campaign is in frantic mode because she has nothing left for the voters.

 

 

You cannot make this shit up. 

[Js1 85275]

Also that NYT result would be 274 Harris with MI/PA in neither column. Bc Georgia + NC is 32 EVs combined.

Also find it quite amusing that for all the Federal agencies and regulatory bodies they want to dismantle with Project 2025...they absolutely love the FCC right now and are begging them to drop the hammer on NBC...

The LEAST LIKELY outcome this time is 5 of 7 states within a point or two (as the polling averages have them). Herding + bad process.

As you've said, 1/3 of the total ballots have been cast and > 90% people say they know who their voting for. There aren't 4-5 point swings to be made. This last minute publishing of a Harris push is for clicks.

There's a strong argument to be made that Harris/Walz left bushels on the field by not making a bigger deal about how Trump's tariff and trade policies in general will destabilize farm commodity prices.

As I'm sure it's been mentioned, if Harris is close in IA, it's a harbinger that WI and OH and PA are all really good.

Serious question: can we impeach these fuckers? 

How can we talk of "equal time" in a world where Fox has existed for 35 years?

@Al_4_ISU is this true? I agree that the tariff effect on farmers hasn't been much of a national argument, but what's it like on the ground there?
