facialimpediment posted:Yeah fair, so long as said voters don't find another excuse. "I don't think America is ready for a black woman president so imma vote fascist" is a concern I have, but Obama did win convincingly and Hillary did carry a popular plurality. Still another 3.5 months to go so we all know how much could change between now and then, but my gut feeling is if Harris loses, it's another "40k voters in two swing states were the deciding factor" scenario, not a blowout. Also big lol at rumors that Trump is already prepared to ditch Vance.

I believe Donnie dictated parts of this message: https://x.com/JacobRubashkin/status/1815820050873339922?t=Q6UixVUfhFaJw14gLZj_nA&s=19 Which then tells me that Donnie's pollster is terrible. Polls are poo poo quality lately, so his are going to extra specially lovely. There's going to be some serious comedy if Kamala starts to poll stronger. Also, Donnie got shot at, had a good convention, and his approval rating hit... 46%. That ceiling is hilariously low.

Anyone want more on Vance being a Nazi? Here's more on Vance being a Nazi. https://x.com/USPoliticsAlert/status/1814704855262363683 If like me, you need to look Steve Sailer up, here's the wiki rundown: quote:He is currently a columnist for Taki's Magazine and VDARE, a website associated with white supremacy. * quote:The framing of "human biodiversity" discourse is meant to confer upon the movement scientific authority, and present it as empirical and rational.[1][8] On this basis, advocates of HBD wish to advance social policies based on their observations.[1][8] In a study on white nationalism, the authors describe "human biodiversity" as a movement to "catalog and create hereditarian ideas" about racial differences, and to then distribute them as "red pills" to transform online discourse.[9] "Human biodiversity" materials are used by alt-right proponents to make arguments on 4chan, Reddit, and Twitter.[9] Some proponents of HBD promote it in the alt-right blogosphere.[1][9]

Nowadays we just call it middle class if you have a degree and career and property, and then we look at your income! 1.66-2x the median income in your area, so a family of DINKs would need to exceed 200k if they live in a metro area like Seattle, Boston, or D.C. Fun fact: maybe 20% do! I would think they would try to bring up the middle class less since there has been pretty sharp decline in the number of middle class citizens, wage gap being a big fucker... but hey, I guess it's not just republicans treating the voters like morons.

Regardless of the technical definition, the societal definition of "middle class" seems to have evolved to mean people who earn enough to not be dependent on welfare, but are still largely dependent on a single income stream (and thus full time employment) to get by. In other words, not financially independent or financially secure enough to weather a long term spell of unemployment or a substantial reduction in pay.

Yeah the polls are basically tied / margin of error, but I link this one for a funny number: https://x.com/Taniel/status/1815840710479995125?t=ZFZinPUk2GVVFQ2qs7oubA&s=19 87% agreed with Biden's drop-out. Like I firmly believe polling is essentially broken when you're anywhere near margins of error, but that's a fuckin blowout and probably the numbers that finally got Biden to go.

It's hard to imagine her not gaining more ground as she gets out from under Biden's shadow.

The Rs are spending millions right now to bring those numbers down with different segments of the population. They're very good at it.

But there is still a lot of election left to go. It appears they're going to run the "too liberal, sucks at immigration, unlikable shrill woman, DEI nominee" playbook. They have a problem in that she's a cop, can talk about the bill Donnie killed, is funny in a likable way, and is a cop. Have I mentioned that she's a cop? She sure will! Hard lefties probably will too, inadvertently fighting against the "too liberal" marker. But Republicans have bigger problems at the moment. Other than debates, which Donnie is waffling more than an IHOP about, the #1 opportunity to spike positive numbers is the convention. There's only two main goals of a political convention: introduce the Vice Presidential nominee, pump up the Presidential nominee. And they got bad news - JD's a freak and recognized as such. https://x.com/ForecasterEnten/status/1815905253793095967 Donnie picked a fellow freak because he thought the election was a walk-in. Oops!

I can imagine that some of these deadline dates could be waivered for VP switches, but it'll really depend on the absolute last possible day the states can send in their ballot orders. Donnie still has time for a switcheroo if he wants - Vance would simply say bye and it would get kicked to the RNC.

Also see the election of 1824 when there was no majority for President.

He'd just argue instead of jiujitsuing the question to be about what he wants/needs to talk about. Question: Kamala is the most liberal senator ever right?

Trump kicking Vance off the ticket is out there, but not that out there. Like if I could get eight to one odds against it happening, I’d take it happening. There were credible rumors that after publicly naming Pence in 2016, he thought he’d make a mistake and thought about taking it back. Then in 2019, rumors circulated that he would replace Pence, perhaps with Nikki Haley, for the 2020 election. He didn’t go through with that, but of course he has now chosen a different running mate for 2024, due to very public irreconcilable differences with Pence. He’s reported to have made the decision for Vance at the very last minute, on the day of the convention last week, informing Marco Rubio and others on the shortlist minutes before the balloons dropped. The red flags are there, and Trump certainly has the temperament to do it even if it’s a bad move. And I’m honestly not sure that it is a bad move. John McCain dropping Palin would have been a sign of chaos and likely caused him to lose by even larger margins no matter who he chose as a replacement, but Trump already has a firmly established reputation for chaos. Who is going to say “well I would vote for this Trump fellow, but change of mind on his running mate really has be concerned about his qualities as a leader”? The worst that would happen is that he loses Vance’s true believers, but I doubt that there are a great number of people more loyal to Vance than to Trump, to the extent that they would stay home if Trump snubbed Vance. If Trump wants to cut vance loose, all he has to do is wait for Vance to put his foot in his mouth again and provide a semidecent pretext for the call. And Vance will provide that, guaranteed.

I dunno it would play into the old, stupid, floundering narrative that the Dems are undoubtedly going to employ for this election. Backtracking your VP pick shortly after an assassination attempt sounds like you're spiraling out of control.I would think the media would start doing whatever they could to make Trump react after he showed a sensitivity like that

There are ways for trump to make vance voluntarily drop out (or cease to be a viable candidate) where he can go "drat, what a shame, so here's sarah palin!" and never have to admit making a mistake. He's spent his whole life doing that poo poo, he's not good at it but he's good at getting away with it.
