US Politics

This is very poor trolling, heart doesn’t seem in it.

Midsummer, I honestly thought that once the Dems had put in a non-senile head, and Trump kept being Trump, only angrier at being beaten by a Black woman

My main takeaway from the 2008 Democratic primaries and the subsequent 2016 election (though it was manipulated) was that people may well be more misogynist than racist. It kind of makes sense—while hatred of other groups has obviously always existed, and racism has been a dominant blight of the last couple of hundred years, even it seems not to be as deeply-ingrained as misogyny. I'm not paying any attention to polls, as que sera, sera, but this election will certainly be a real test of the next iteration of Internet-based propaganda.

Trump is nervous about losing women's votes because of the overturning of Roe v Wade. I wonder if he would now be well ahead in the polls if that hadn't happened? It would be deliciously ironic if his stacking of the supreme court in his first presidency ends up preventing him from having a second one.

I want to understand from someone who leans into Trump how they decide

This handy model of a Trump supporter's brain might help:

Consider your own brain. Now consider the effect of piffing it in a blender.

Fuck off

'I'm the opposite of a Nazi' says the guy.

So what is that, a communist?

I'd say a badly dressed woke snowflake.

I think he's got 2/3 nailed.

Fucknuts

My heart sinks at the direction the election is going.

snowflake

Yeah nah, not the opposite of a Nazi - the biggest snowflakes are the broflakes.

Badly dressed, poorly equipped, woke, communist, antifa, hippy.

„Real Clear became one of the most prominent platforms for elevating unverified and reckless stories about the president’s political opponents, through a mix of its own content and articles from across conservative media."

Don't trust statistics you haven't faked yourself, or what was it?
Someone linked this before, it's a good thing to read.

I didn't know that. The site was linked a couple of pages back.

Kamala has gone from 6/4 to 7/4 in the last week, so the chart doesn't seem to be inaccurate.

Have no idea about betting, so no idea what that graph might say.
But seems like a lot of people are busy pushing a trump will win narrative, bending a few corners to make it plausible.

With the added bonus if he doesn't win these sorts of graphs being 'evidence' that it was all rigged

Bleak, but probably true.

Whenever I see charts and Trump in the same thread I think of the Axios interview.
He’s fucking nuts, a habitual liar, stupid, and runs away when someone talks back to him.

For those who enjoy stepped outside the echo chamber. EK's interview with Vivek Ramaswamy:

Idk if it's sampling bias but a lot of these type of Republicans lean so hard into the intellectualisation.

Tensions are sky high?

Nate Silver yesterday:

Harris leads by 1.2 points in our national polling average, and Donald Trump has a 54 percent chance of winning the Electoral College.

Are you ok?

Don’t feed the troll.
