Unfortunately, there are more than enough converts in the new group to fill the hole left by Darwinism culling the exceptionally stupid.
Sorry, I’m just feeling disappointed in this country right now. I fear I’m going to have to go back to 4 years of telling strangers I’m Canadian.

Re: The Kamala Harris presidential candidacy
Do you want to know what really killed me inside? Seeing just how many of my fellow GenXers (not hepcat) voted for Trump in 2020. That's why I still wonder what's going to happen next week. I want to be hopeful, but it's been so damn hard.

Re: The Kamala Harris presidential candidacy
There are something like 600,000 Puerto Ricans in PA, and they are very very unhappy about their homeland being called a garbage island. That one tasteless joke could cost trump the state and the election.YellowKing wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 3:24 pm I guess I have more faith in the American people than most. I think, on average, collective "we" tend to do the right thing. It's not perfect (2016), but I don't believe most Americans are deplorables. I think a lot are misguided, I think a lot are far too apathetic, but I think most people are decent, hard-working folks just doing the best they can with what they've got.
What I struggle with is that the entire future course of the world could be destroyed by a few thousand misguided, apathetic, chucklefucks in Pennsylvania.
Like you, I don't believe Americans will knowingly vote democracy out of existence. Most of those who vote for the fascists are more afraid of us election-stealing communists. I hope that a clear majority will see through that bullshit and vote for the good guys, but living in a highly educated blue state inevitably colors my opinion of people in general.
That was due to a confluence of factors that don't pertain this time. Not saying it can't happen again, just that the reasons it happened last time aren't in play.

Re: The Kamala Harris presidential candidacy
I wholeheartedly disagree. Anger at a perceived injustice, and one person telling them it’s not them, it’s actually THOSE PEOPLE is still as relevant now as it was in 2016. It will always be relevant. I know it instills a sense of hope that Trump arose due to very unique circumstances during a very unique point in time; but the truth is, cult leaders like Trump are universal and timeless. They can make any time or circumstance their own.

Re: The Kamala Harris presidential candidacy
I was thinking more of Hillary Clinton. The GOP spent literally decades vilifying her, she ran a lackluster campaign, and most people thought trump was a joke. She was a uniquely vulnerable candidate (who nevertheless won the popular vote by a comfortable margin). The only characteristic that Harris shares with Hillary is her sex, and we're all keenly aware that trump isn't funny.

This is the first election Trump's been on the ballot since Jan. 6th, becoming a convicted felon, and Dobbs. Not to mention having multiple Republicans come out against him. Those facts alone make looking at his performance in 2016 and 2020 unreliable. A LOT has changed in 4 years, and very little of it in his favor.

The thing is, he’s made those things into a rallying cry. He’s convinced people that the government is gunning for him. And that they’re next. These aren’t negatives because Trump is a bizzaro world politician.

The thing is, YK, all the reasons you've conveyed that you're bullish about a Harris victory - and not a particularly close one - are generally pretty compelling.YellowKing wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 10:51 pm This is the first election Trump's been on the ballot since Jan. 6th, becoming a convicted felon, and Dobbs.

A LOT has changed in 4 years, and very little of it in his favor.
But they're offset by one huge counter: The polls say it's, at best, a coin flip slightly favoring Trump. As of right now, 538 is reporting that out of 1,000 simulations, Trump wins 516 times, Harris 482 and No winner (whatever that means) 2 times. That's Trump winning 52% of the time and Harris winning 48% of the time.
In order to accept your reasoning - which, again, is compelling - we have to accept that polling and analysis of what that polling data means is fundamentally wrong.
I sure hope that's the case!

Re: The Kamala Harris presidential candidacy
I'm not necessarily saying the polls (the good ones, a lot of them are total crap) are wrong (in the sense of being way outside the margin of error wrong). Is it a close race? Absolutely. But polls are not predictors, and polls can't tell us much about actual turnout.Kurth wrote:In order to accept your reasoning - which, again, is compelling - we have to accept that polling and analysis of what that polling data means is fundamentally wrong.
I think people are way too hung up on the polling. In a truly tied race, I'd take Harris' campaign and expected turnout all day long and twice on Sunday.

It's absolutely amazing Trump's ability to self-sabotage. He had the media falling all over themselves to report on Biden's "garbage" gaffe, and in an attempt to milk it only A) made himself look stupid and frail B) gave the Harris campaign an absolutely perfect meme to sum up his campaign and C) reminded everyone of the TWO garbage comments his campaign made (America is garbage and Puerto Rico is garbage).
I am still not entirely unconvinced someone high up on his campaign staff isn't intentionally sabotaging him.

How a bunch of 18 year old voters were only 10 when Trump's Access Hollywood tape was released - it's brand new to them. Another sign of how tiring this is - we've been dealing with Trump's crap for 8+ years now.

In Georgia, over 600,000 voters have already cast early votes that did not vote in the 2020 election. That is a mix of new residents, voters that were too young to vote in 2020, and voters who skipped the 2020 election. Furthermore, Georgia's already had 60% of their *total* vote count from the 2020 election cast early votes.

At my house right now with family none of these comments are even getting through the Fox News and right wing news screen. Biden called Trump supporters garbage all on his own for example.

I bet they have, but we have already seen how he reacts to that kind of "you should do this for the good of X". He definitely still has some pride, and while he absolutely made the right choices for the good of the country (both to run in 2020, and drop out in 2024), you can see signs of defiance (totally understandable IMO).

I just got a haircut. My hair stylist, who is 27 or so, said she wants a woman president but probably won't vote. Her friends think they were better off financially under Trump but probably won't vote either. So it's a wash.
Reasons for not voting: doesn't matter (Chicago/IL will go Harris), it's how they find you for jury duty, too many down ballot punches (75 judges I think, etc).

Re: The Kamala Harris presidential candidacy
We should get a decent indication before bedtime on the 5th. If the Red Mirage happens as usual (and trump declares victory based on it, as expected) then we are in for a long slog while the Blue Tide slowly comes in. If more Republicans than usual are voting early, there will be fewer of them on election day. If the Red Mirage is small or doesn't happen at all, then we can be pretty confident that the Blue Tide will lift all boats.Skinypupy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2024 3:47 pmI’m getting there as well.

Now that I can do this from my home at my leisure, I actually try to research judges and if I can, I will vote. Otherwise I leave them blank.
