The NYT over sample of black voters found:

She retains 92% of Biden’s 2020 black voters while shedding 5%

Trump is holding 85% of his black voters while shedding 15%

Harris leads 61-24 among 2020 black nonvoters - so this is where his supposed “strength” lies, with black voters who probably won’t turn out

Good thing for Trump he has an amazing ground game and - wait, he doesn’t. And the polls usually overshoot GOP support with black voters by a few points every cycle (because of non-voters)

You mean to tell me that the Times is portraying a poll that literally shows relative improvement for Harris vs 2020 as bad news for Harris? I’m shocked!

back to @Bozo_Casanova 's comment about Democrats needing to be better at messaging on the economy. I don't know what else they can do. They are actually putting programs into place to support and bolster the working and middle class. They have been better for the economy every single presidency going back to Carter. I don't think there is anything more they can do other than outright lie like the Republicans.

They want to believe the Republican lies. They don't hold them accountable. They never benefit for them. They are idiots. So I don't think Democrats should waste any time trying to persuade idiots who continue to vote against their own self-interests over and over again because they feel better about being able to be a racist and a misogynist  and hate other people. Fuck those people. Let's build a coalition with everyone else. It has been working great for the Democrats for every election since 2016. 

Kamala is going to roll Trump. We have all maxed out and are volunteering so I am not taking it lightly. But this is going to be ugly for him.

At the 5 min mark of the video below a woman says the quiet part out loud. When faced with the question of did Trump lie about the eating pets thing she said that nobody really cares whether it is a lie or not, what they care about is people coming here from other countries not respecting our culture of language.

This is exactly why they excuse anything wild he says and vote against their own economic interests. It's why immigration is such a hot button on the political landscape. The US has always insulted White America by putting it's proverbial thumb on the head of other ethnic groups. Black Americans can tell you the scariest times are when White Americans are made to feel uncomfortable and afraid, and right now they feel uncomfortable and afraid. Trump is tapping that vein the same way Hitler did. The crazy part to me is ethnic people voting for him. If he gets back in office and starts deporting immigrants, do they think he stops with them? Immigrants, then citizens, then gays, and anyone not "poisoning the blood of our country".

And then one of them joined up and ended up riding with Sherman through Georgia. 

That reminds me. I need to get this t shirt in time for the Georgia game.

Such a great article. Thanks for posting! Charlie echoes what I've been seeing the last few years, but he puts it into words so much better and more understandably than I ever possibly could. Highly recommend!!

It reminds me of when I was still working at fire dispatch taking 911 calls. Starting a few years ago we started getting calls at all hours from people who didn't have any emergency but would just ramble on and on with conspiracy theories, berating us and telling us we were complicit in the conspiracy, etc, etc. It was bizarre, and it fits right right in with what Charlie Warzel is talking about.

Not to mention in terms of voting intention of black voters -

97.5% of Harris’ black vote intend to vote. Only 84% for Trump

Tony Blair killed his own career.  British history is replete with examples of mp’s in disfavor, only to sit on the sidelines and regain power when the political winds shift. 
 

I do love how their Parliament requires the PM answer questions on the floor, many of which are challenging or adversarial.  There was an audio I heard of Blair in this venue and he was extraordinary.

It will never make sense to me that a single veteran or active member of our military will vote for this literal piece of human garbage when he has nothing but awful things to say about the military. This coward shirked duty in Vietnam by faking an injury while people who weren’t privileged had to go over there. Many of us here have dads and other relatives who went over when their number came up, but not this shrinking violet. It’s just incredible the cognitive dissonance on display.

Shedding 5% would be a net loss over shedding 15% if the base of the first is 3x the second.  Which it is.

HuffPo says Trump called Harris a retard at a Trump Tower dinner and complained his donors weren’t contributing enough

So many reasons I want Kamala, Walz to win this. A couple of them that I don't think about much:

1. I don't want this pseudo intellectual, eye liner wearing creep with his weirdo beard to be a big part of American politics for 4 or 8 or however many years. I don't want to think about this guy again until he's up for re-election in 2028.

2. If Dotard becomes President again with immunity and no guard rails, his corrupt ass will enrich himself to the point of being one of the wealthiest people that ever lived.

I did, after voting for him the first time, but I'm not a veteran, so I'm not sure if that counts. I'll carry the shame of that decision to my grave.

Nah, they take a lot of shots and pick the one they want. Reminds me of this Newsweek cover with Michele Bachmann back in the day - she was pretty photogenic and they picked what had to be one of the worst pics of her ever. Y'all remember when the Tea Party was the big thing we were all worried about?

[HenryJames 67416]

She'd be considered a moderate today.
