Good if true but does it really matter much at this point? Like hearing a team’s defensive line left early to beat traffic as they line up for a FG with 1 second remaining. Not ideal for the organization but unlikely to impact the result.

why is it so close this is so stupid

I can't find the article, but NYT made an article about it - ruling parties are getting wiped out everywhere as lizardbrained humans go HIGHER PRICES BAD and it's really about that simple, with some COVID restriction backlash for added taste.

Anyone but Donnie would probably be winning this thing without much doubt. The fact that it *is* close is probably a testament to how lovely a candidate he is. May not matter though! But I'd rather be Kamala:

The *only* thing that went right for Donnie in the closing three weeks is that Rogan just endorsed him.

It's the best window into what the campaign *actually* thinks versus mouth noises. It's one thing to say "we're winning", but another thing to not feel it when you have access to data that you get access to when you have $1B at your disposal. Granted, Hillary's people didn't realize their data was bad so they were essentially huffing farts that the Donnie side also believed.

CBJSprague24 posted:

People keep saying 270/268 Harris, and I'm not sure if that's legit or televised clickbait. I feel like a lot of the cable news chatter at this point is rooted in "no, watch OUR coverage!"

Nah that's legit and my own personal map. I don't like the NV early vote bucking tradition and going mega-republican. Same deal for GA, early democratic turnout, particularly black turnout, is low (though higher-than-expected will-vote-on-EDay results in surveys there). NC has enough history of ticket-splitting for governor that it won't be as big of an anchor on Donnie.

Blue Wall holds because inflation isn't as bad, housing costs aren't as bad, and Kamala is still cleaning up among white voters and women. Anyone but Donnie would take Michigan.

Rogan is an ideology sponge so the Dems can swing this one by squeaking Walz in for a last minute 30 minute spot. Get him in and out and have Rogan switch his endorsements bright and early and still have time to swing by McD's for a sausage and egg mcmuffin and a couple hashbrowns.

He's definitely not ideologically neutral, but he also has waaaaaaay more right-wing and "libertarian" guests than he has anyone to the left of the klan or more functional than "actually, by the age of 14--" types. There's been some pretty funny cases where if you sit him down with someone who can properly explain left-leaning policies in as few syllables as possible (as he is a concussion elemental), he'll engage dummy mode and go "yeah man that makes some seriously good sense, I love it" like his DMT-addled mind has been temporarily spontaneously rewired.

The right wing psychosis pipeline uses him as a massive platforming tool, though, and has been grinding that for years. It's probably way too late to try to use him for good, but maybe the Soviet research chemicals will get him sometime between now and the next election.

Caught a ride to our small-town polling place with my wife thinking we'd both beat the line at 6:45 (polls open at 6:30) and loving nope. Huge rear end line and no parking.

I'm going back later this afternoon, she'll be standing in line after work.

Would have voted early, but my state is a GOP supermajority so each county gets one location and the wait is always hours, even for my mostly rural county. And our absentee process has GOP fuckery as well. Yay voter suppression.

Alright done. In and out in about 20 minutes at 8am.

Time to go to work, come home at sunset, sit in the dark and have exactly two (2) rum and cokes and then hopefully get 12 hours of sleep. Notifications are turned off, I'll probably turn my phone off and then resist turning anything on in the middle of the night.
