Flikken posted:They only did that because 3 democrat judges ended up on the Ohio Supreme Court. With the 3 Dems running on Tuesday we could possibly flip the the court Ohio is a loving disaster of unchecked republican power who understand that they will face no consequences for anything they do. Really hoping enough past trump voters are annoyed enough by that to pass issue 1 for the third attempt at ending gerrymandering (which was polling at 60% but the GOP sec of state made it's official ballot language say the opposite of what it does) and flip the SC. If not, we are pretty hosed.

Good amount of porn in this Atlantic article from a reporter that's been embedded in the campaign during the better times: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/11/trump-2024-campaign-lewandowski-conway/680456/ A recap: Everyone's really miserable. Donnie's been self-sabotaging since the Kamala swap because he's essentially "tired of winning" and bored. Corey Lewandowski indeed came on and tried to ursurp the actual campaign managers. One of them is basically a crook, skimming money off the top due to his ad connections (revealed in a planted story by Lewandowski after he basically got kicked off the campaign). And my personal favorite thing: there's a particular 4channy chud mid-level staffer, Alex Bruesewitz, that's basically tied into all the hyperchud podcasters from his time with JD. He's basically been the chud booker to the stars, getting Donnie on all the manoverse podcasts. But, he was instrumental in elevating the Eating the Dogs/Cats thing to JD's level, without overall campaign knowledge, leading to Donnie chomping on it and barfing it out during the debate. And Bruesewitz was the one who booked Tony Hinchcliffe to do the MSG rally. Nobody in senior staff even bothered to watch his material in advance. Two of the biggest fuckups of the campaign caused by having a chud that's too online.

He's very obviously trying to emphasize that the women in question are some of the strongest people he knows, not say that they aren't people. I hope he dies painfully but we sound like histrionic dipshits when we spout off over obvious misinterpretations.

Yeah you can clean that up with an implied “[just]”, which is frankly way less than it takes to fix most of Biden’s flubs. Does the man respect women? Hell no, but that’s not the smoking gun you’re looking for.

Harris winning Iowa would be...well outside of expectations, but Obama did win the state in 2008 and 2012. And if Selzer's right, then God willing we might actually have a short night on Tuesday.

A good pollster will get some wrong just due to randomness, but at least Selzer built her reputation by going with what her numbers show rather than herding.

we’ll see. since 2012 all her errors favored dems. i expect this will be another case of that. i’d be thrilled to be wrong.

from another threadquote:n 2012 they gave Obama a 5% lead over Romney. Obama won by 5.8%. pmchem posted:we’ll see. since 2012 all her errors favored dems. i expect this will be another case of that. i’d be thrilled to be wrong. the poll has a moe of ±3.4% and you're looking at doubling, tripling that margin just to catch up where he used to be. that'd be one hell of an error

Herstory Begins Now posted:i dont find that hard to believe at all really Pfeiffer has the options right: https://x.com/danpfeiffer/status/1852854243109249385?t=uL5MgaY3OIfLObLyYtbU6Q&s=19 There's also a large contingent of politics folks that believe Harris is holding all of Biden's support from white people (which matches Iowa and Blue Wall strength), while losing some of Biden's nonwhite people (which matches weakness in Arizona/Nevada/Georgia). My general viewpoint there is that "nonwhite weakness" is likely an overread of teensy samples, but there's been some oversamples which show just as much weakness. If I were kamala's team with more money than god, I'd think about chucking a million to Iowa media as a flyer since Nevada's early vote is running rough at the moment.

I've posted about seeing a surprising number of Harris signs in rural Missouri, but I was thinking about it the other day and another telling thing for me is the lack of Trump signs where there should absolutely be Trump signs. I see plenty of places with signs supporting the abortion ban and Josh Hawley, etc... that don't have a Trump sign anywhere to be seen. This place is not full of shy Trump voters either. I've seen less Trump signs, truck flags, etc... over the past few months than I have at any point in the 2 years I've been out here. They're still out there but I absolutely believe his support has softened considerably among what should be some of his staunchest base supporters.

CBJSprague24 posted:Is all of this people starting to jump out of line from the mainstream talking points and suggest we're in for a good time this week? A good time is very much possible, but lots of people are overreading early votes at the moment. Like there are some rural areas of Georgia that have outvoted their 2020 total in JUST the early vote. Good, solid analysts do not know what to think about what Jon Ralston calls The Unicorn Year. It's all because democrats quit caring about the pandemic, republicans stopped believe early/mail votes are fraud, and no pollster has a solid handle on what the electorate actually is. And there's a GIANT concern from pollsters if they underweight the trump vote again. If they do, people might just be fuckin done with polling, as already a whole bunch of firms quit doing them. https://x.com/Redistrict/status/1852868172493258902?t=j5GRFGz5tMGr8UNfgqnnqA&s=19 facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Nov 3, 2024 |

If Harris’ Iowa lead is real that is a great sign as guessing she hasn’t spent much time or money there. I know it’s extremely unlikely but if she wins OH/TX/FL, well, that would be fun to see I suppose.

I highly recommend either zoning out or make a list of nonstop poo poo to do that day, and preferably a few more. Part of the reason I work as a poll worker every year, makes election day fly by. And if I get punched by / shot by / cause the arrest of a trumper, nobody will ever hear the end of it from me.

As has been mentioned many times in this thread, the Republicans are for some reason making all of their ads 100% about Immigration and trans women playing girls sports. Since I live in Ohio with the Sherrod Brown - Bernie Moreno senate campaign it's been especially bad. Today I saw a pro-Moreno ad with the tagline that Sherrod Brown is "For They/Them, not You" lmao

That’s a big unknown as so much of their national leadership has been wrecked by the grifter, but really they’d be fine as they pretty much can’t go below 40 senate seats even in absurdly blue typhoon years, electoral college is a massive advantage, and big pocketed donors aren’t going anywhere. On the other hand we are in unknown territory & if he flees post election to Russia & irrefutable evidence emerges he’d been taking payments from Putin for years in exchange for military secrets, could maybe see enough GOP house/senate members starting a new party. Although with a two party system would probably just be a rebrand.

I'm not going to really dare to hope until after voting closes, but in watching chunks of trump rallies for the last month or two almost without exception he launches into some real rotbrain rambling and you see looks on peoples' faces that are the exact same thing you were seeing on dems after the first debate. Like I remember how viscerally unsettling and demotivating that was and there's no way that isn't having an impact. No idea how much of one though.
