I'm just happy that Donnie keeps the felon tag for the election. Perfectly reasonable to toss the conviction, based on the dumbfuck SC decision. Merchan didn't do that, so :toot:

I'm pretty ok with it, trump has been flailing for several weeks and seems direction less while Harris keeps hitting swing states and doing alright. I'm concerned an unexpected shift in the narrative back to trump where he could claim victimhood and dominate the headlines for weeks would be worth the risk. I mean no way he would go to jail pre-election but endless appeals and false countdowns would get a lot of eyeballs and make it harder for Harris to fire up her base. Kinda like if a starting quarterback has thrown three picks before halftime and is pushing his coach on the sideline. You hope he keeps it up and doesn't put in a bright new rookie with something to prove.

almost certainly earnest, trump people ran his daughter out of politics and he's a legacy of the old business republicans, who have similarly been run out of mainstream republican politics. doesn't really amount to much of anything because no one really gives a gently caress about dick cheney in 2024, ofc

Cheney is a pretty big part of the reason the world sucks so much these days so while his endorsement is cool I think his message should’ve been something other than calling Trump bad for the country.

E: unless he directly compared it to how bad he was.

Standing in line was a pain in the rear end, but there was something viscerally satisfying about using the old voting machines. Flip a switch next to each of your chosen candidates, then pull a big lever to confirm your votes. Made a big thunk noise.

I would never willingly go back to standing in line and voting in person, but it was a nice thing to do once.

A key thing is that based on his book, Nate Silver (not in charge of 538 anymore) likely has a severe gambling problem. A lot of his observations and comments seem targeted towards political betting market gamblers versus any kind of target reality.

It's amazing how that fascist, weirdo loving ghoul never gets any attention in the same way evergreen, anti-semetic lighting rod Soros does. I had to listen to my zoomer nephew spew a bunch decades old Soros conspiracy memes he saw some idiot on TikTok spouting.

He's the embodiment of shadowy billionaire manipulating things behind the scenes to advance his own freakish world view.

If you have polling showing you only down by 3, at what point does it make sense to send some resources there, even if they’re primarily focused on the senate?

It's public polling, which both of the parties think is hot, refried rear end. The good stuff is for party/candidate eyes only and if they're not throwing in money, they believe their own numbers better.

Also, this is like a Sir story, but a Ma'am story where she's *actually* approaching with tears in her eyes

Yeah I was gonna say, in plenty of areas in the South saying 'that's a *wink* democrat *wink* part of town' is another way to say 'that's a majority black area (so don't go there or obviously you'll get robbed/murdered/etc)' without sounding quite as racist to outsiders. Calling it the 'democrat party' is definitely an allusion to the idea that only black people in the South vote for democrats.
