I have decided to be a good citizen and pay attention to politics leading up to the election. My summary of the situation as someone who didn't pay much attention until a few weeks ago, and I think is common among people who don't really keep track: things are still very stupid, but at least I feel a little bit better about voting this time.

I think it’s a knock against Tim Walz that he did twenty four goddamn years in the army but at least he was a weekend warrior and got out at the right time and wasn’t full blown stupid.

bird food bathtub posted:Every second he does that is another second someone that might possibly still be competent and in his orbit isn't directing him towards a successful campaign. I agree with you but not because I think a successful campaign necessarily leads to Trump’s election. At this point I think a successful campaign for him is anything that leads to a shitload of chaos and January 6 type poo poo. E: basically I think whether he wins or loses, it's going to be a poo poo outcome, and I think right now he is campaigning for chaos. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Aug 15, 2024 |

MonkeyFit posted:So do you think they can create a rift between Trump and Vance by showing crowds Walz can draw vs Vance? I think Trump could call Vance a piece of poo poo to his face and Vance would still kiss his rear end just like every other republican sycophant Trump has insulted over the last 8 years.

Did Trump forget he got shot? I feel like 2016 Trump would’ve never shut up about it and would’ve demanded a Purple Heart.

On those days where I’m slogging through and tired, I wish I could take whatever drug cocktail he’s on to get him so energized. Can an 80 year old rail a bunch of coke and give a speech at a convention?

Why didn’t 2016 make polls a moot topic of discussion? I guess the people that are running campaigns can use them for information, but what value do we get out of them that wasn’t completely undermined by 2016?

Mr. Nice! posted:2016 polls weren’t wrong, though. Trump victory was absolutely within the margin of error. They’ve gotten worse since then, though. What does this do for me as a voter though? I never said they were wrong, I just don’t know what valuable information I can get from them.

mlmp08 posted:Prioritize your efforts. Arguably, a voter who simply stays home in their own state that will go 56/43 but does some get out the vote work for a swing state is doing more at the federal level than a voter in such a state who votes, but does nothing else. This makes sense. I didn’t consider the efforts that others might make in doing get out the vote work in response to polls. Thanks.

Maybe she will just spend 15 minutes trolling the gently caress out of him until he snaps. Trump is really predictable and very easy to figure out. It’s why world leaders love him so much. And a big reason why democrats have been so loving frustrating for eight years, they never exploit Donald Trump for being Donald Trump.

Wingnut Ninja posted:Trump's own behavior is firmly outside the norm, though. What's the precedent for people who are maximally antagonistic and contemptuous to the entire legal system throughout the whole process? People with Trump’s “wealth” and notoriety are probably smart enough to pay the right people and shut up about it. People without Trump’s wealth just go to jail and you never hear about them.

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.

workers won't get deported. capitalism needs them. they just want to be able to shoot people at the border and be able to harass minorities in the streets. if they deport the workers then they will lose one of the foundations of their entire party platform. I don't think that's what they want.

Terrifying Effigies posted:Serious answer it is impossible to divine the mind of the median US voter, much less what they think about the debate. But at the very least she's on a whole other plane of existence from old Joe. I am convinced that the average American voter is dumber than we think. No matter how dumb you think the average American voter is, how low your opinion is, I am certain that it is worse.

Voyager I posted:Kamala's not a particularly strong speaker. She sounds like a politician saying politician things and it's not exactly inspiring. She has some very clearly prepared mini-speeches and when she gets to them she gets into a much better cadence. Trump also said I/P would never have started if he had won the election.

Torrannor posted:It is possible to read the questions differently. What are price controls? The federal government limiting how much companies can raise the price of food/groceries is a price control. But the federal government directly setting the prices of food/groceries is also a price control, and presumably much less popular. The former is a relatively narrow question, so it might make sense for people to be more open to that policy than giving blanket approval for the government to establish price controls of all kinds on food/groceries. I think people are just stupid.
