Nicolle Wallace played earlier a series of clips of Trump calling democrats "vile, disgusting, evil, vermin", etc. 

This double standard where one party gets to say whatever they want at any time, and the other is playing by the rules like it's still 1988.... Not sure I can take another cycle of it without losing my fucking mind. 

Many of us were saying this in 2020.

I recently heard it described as "good guys" syndrome or somesuch. The phenomenon that the "good guy" has to follow the rules but the bad guy is licensed as no restrictions. Doesn't seem like anyone has a choice as long as we have the current media environment.

My favorite is the people that hand out trump "get a job, ain't nothing free liberal" tickets to 6 year olds. Last election it happened and I just couldn't believe how petty these people are. They single handedly made my kids anti trump...over candy...at 6 years old. Good job?

On Tuesday I’m gonna be on a ship halfway between New Orleans and Belize.  if Harris wins, I’m drinking my daily prepaid alcohol limit by noon, and if Trump wins, I’m doing the same, but stopping by to see what is required for Belize residence.

I could. I'm not an extroverted person, so I don't make a point of talking to a lot of people outside of my students and colleagues. Here in Montana we have been fully inundated with ads from both Tester and Sheehy, relatively equally. Of people I personally know, 75% are going Tester, but it just seems like the national sentiment had been Sheehy for a long time. Not a ton of people I know really make a point of talking politics. Most people here are "live and let live" in their day-to-day/ don't like to bring up tense topics. Maybe Tester's ads with the "Shady Sheehy" nickname stuck. The one with Sheehy saying he had a bullet in his arm from Afghanistan (when he actually accidentally shot himself while in Glacier National Park) surely didn't please too many people. 

I was in Montana for about 8 days in late Sept. The thing that stood out to me was that there was far less Trump paraphernalia displayed than I was expecting. But Sheehy and Tester signs were everywhere. And there were some rural towns where 90%+ of the political signage seemed to be local/state elections. Anaconda MT was like that, a shit ton of signs for people I had no idea who the fuck they were. Zero trump that I saw. 

 I had a TV on for a few ballgames, and EVERY commercial break had a Sheehy ad and then a Tester ad, or vice versa. It was probably 75% of the advertising on MNF etc.. It was ridiculous how much money these two were spending on TV ads. But chatting it up with locals at the bars and whatnot, I would agree that I heard far less political bs than I do around Texas. Noticeably so.

Until the counting is over, this is what I have to say about all the polls putting Harris ahead...

This describes the vast majority of people I know. However most are holding their nose and voting Trump. I don’t understand his grip on this party, or independent smart thinkers I know voting for Trump. I simply do not understand it and never will. Thankfully this’ll be the end of him running but I fear the GOP is too far gone because of Trump to ever recover. 

Side note - I’m good family friends with a Houston gay man Republican. Could be the same dude.

I agree with you in this instance. But there’s a large swath of Trump voters who otherwise exhibit good judgement and are highly successful people. I simply do not understand and will be the greatest mystery of my life.

Honestly I think it’s a combo of income tax rate, corporate tax rate and feelings on abortion and LGTBQ+. If you run in certain circles, 95% of these people detest Trump. 5% are fucking involved in his campaign efforts. 

I see this from a fair number of my partners at work (all white men of course). A combination of taxes (mostly imaginary concerns) and Lina Kahn. A lot of “well I hate Trump the person but I hate these crazy left policies more”. Drives me crazy from a moral standpoint, but if it’s not changing by round 3, it’s not changing.

It seems like the Biden comment is already not a big deal while Puerto Ricans are still livid and voting accordingly. I never understood why it was supposed to be an issue? The "deporables" comment hurt Hillary because she already had a likeability problem from past baggage (fair or unfair), and the full depravity of trump was still developing with plenty of independents and undecideds still considering whether to vote for him. It's been 8 fucking years, we all know who he is now, his loyal voters are still on board, everyone else knows he's trash. I don't see how it would gain him any voters this time around.

Yeah nobody was clicking on that stupid Biden story so the media moved on. 

[Valmy77 13626]

Biden went out and clarified and apologized. For most normal people that is enough. Unless you are really big into cancel culture.

Trump didn't do that.

I got some news for ya: Your "partners" are fascists.

A vote for Trump-MAGA is a vote for fascism. That voter is a fascist! End of Story.

I'm sorry, but time's up for offering excuses and apologia for friends, families, and co-workers.

Trump went on record as saying he didn’t know anything about a comedian. So that’s like an apology.

No need to apologize. It’s pretty gross.

We need a GoFundMe for Putin’s Conservative Paradise that he promised to create in Russia. I’ll donate a good amount for that to actually happen if he makes Trump the Mayor. I’d prefer that to him actually being convicted of crimes in the US.

Look, they have a theory of how to win and they are probably weighting things accordingly. I am quite sure they think they are going to win, and they could be right. But I don’t think so, and I’m pretty sure they also aren’t relying on the RCP average for anything.

True.  But I assume they do care about riots in the streets and drunken Bubbas parading around with assault rifles.  I don't think we'll be to that point by next Wed, but I'm not ruling anything out with these lunatics.

It’s not really that way for me. I was taking a Trump landslide + congressional sweep for granted in May/June and hedging accordingly, so I guess I had already done my grieving.
This period of hopefulness was unexpected. We’re playing with house money.

I think the good guys win, but if we don’t I already know what I’m doing next.

I'll be at a crisis management training in Bumblefuck, Louisiana next Tue-Thu. I work for an oil and gas company, so you can imagine how most of my colleagues lean. FML.

If I don't make it back, it was nice knowing you assholes.
