I mean, we have talked at length about where he finds new voters - 

newly registered young women? not a chance
newly registered young men? maybe, but there was a poll showing Gen Z men are supporting Harris almost at the same levels of Gen Z women, so unless he's tapped into a pool of Tate-pilled alpha bros....
newly registered black women? LOL

I said it yesterday - unless he has absolutely found this giant source of untapped voters who barely ever or have never shown up to vote, *and turns them out,* he's going to have to win a lot more Dems than she is winning Republicans (unlikely), stem the bleeding of suburban college educated whites (not a chance), pick off minority voters at a substantial rate (not based on polling, he's not) and win independents.  But the vast majority of newly registered independents are young voters and voters of color and the swingier, established indies are suburban women.

He also cannot bleed any support in WWC men/women.  I mean, he won them 67-32.  If he only wins them 65-34, he's in trouble in the blue wall. 

Or hope that turnout craters, but we are likely on pace for 2008/2020 turnout and not 2016 turnout. 

This is the koolaid I need

What does this mean?

There is an arbitrary goal of Democrats vs. Republicans who vote in early voting. It is currently +387K Democrats. The arbitrary goal that should indicate something is +390K

Same with the Democrats + Independents vs. Republicans below. It is currently +458k Democrats and Independents. The arbitrary goal that should indicate something is +500K

Or it may not be arbitrary but carefully calculated...what do I know?

But Pennsylvania is getting close to hitting those marks.

From what I’ve seen from other converts, the scales will slowly fall from your eyes. It starts with “I have to hold my nose and vote for Dems for the sake of sanity and decorum.” Two years later, you’re perusing platforms to educate yourself on the off-year candidates and it hits you: “The Dems actually make sense about a lot of things.” By the next election cycle, you’re working your way through the back catalog of Behind the Bastards and thinking “How the fuck did I ever support this nefarious Reagan shitbag?”

Enjoy the journey.

Well and on the extreme side you fall prey to the gay and trans agenda and slide into estrogen therapy.  I mean it happens to some former republicans so they have reason to be afraid.

There are 387,000 more Democratic votes that have been received than Republican votes at this time. We want to see the Democrats hit at least 390,000 more votes than Republicans.

Okay, so then the denominator is the target (and not, as "D/R" would suggest, the number of R votes)

The gap between just D/R returns is 387,000.  The goal is 390,000 to feel comfortable. 

If you allocate the EARLY VOTE indies at 70-30 Dem (which is the normal partisan return on VBMs from that group in PA, per Smithley, who knows his state), it's 458k.  The goal is 500,000 to feel comfortable.

Off topic, but I like DST. If they get rid of it, my hope is that we fall back permanently rather than stop when we are sprung forward. Morning sunshine=high T. Later sunrises are beta shit.

I think a lot of people on here have no idea what women were not allowed to do on their own. 

It wasn't until the 1960's that women could get a bank account on their own. It was 1974 when we could get credit cards. 

MAGA wants to make women 100% dependent on men because they believe that women are here on earth to serve them.

FUCK THEM.

Still lot of weird relics in the system. My friend Lisa bought a house in '98. On her deed was entered "Lisa _______ , barren woman"

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.

My wife and I were married in Fiji.  On our wedding certificate she is listed as a "spinster."  I still give her shit about that after 20 years.

No he likes DST.  He would dislike a change to the status quo but if there were to be a change, he prefers permanent ST to permanent DST.  And I agree on both counts.

Not correct. He said he wants earlier sunrises, which is a feature of ST. He also said he wants to permanently “fall back,” also a reference to ST.

That's fucking awesome. We've really come so far. When the Bush campaign started running spanish language ads the mere fact they were doing it was considered groundbreaking.
I worked at 301 Congress from 1997-2002, and the Bush campaign HQ was on the 3rd floor. There's a courtyard on the 4th St side where people would take smoke breaks, and I would occasionally talk to a guy from the campaign. I once asked him if the spanish commercials were different from the English commercials. He said "they're essentially the same, except the spanish one has a clown in it."

But I digress

First thing... someone mentioned RFK signs.  RFK is a big dipshit.  You know who is a bigger dipshit?  The family three streets over with a Stein campaign sign.

Second, we know LDS voters may play an important hand in deciding NV and AZ.  A Mormon friend of mine shared the article below... I thought it was actually well-written and it feels like Mormon Gen-Z and Millenials are going to push things towards Kamala:
