Was just watching CNN while I ate my lunch. Trump was speaking in Arlington at the RNC. He was noticeably more calm and lucid, letting on it was a close race and that the thought of losing was difficult on him. He talked about all just accomplishments and threw in a China virus for good measure. It was surprisingly timid given they’ve been saying he was going to declare victory early.

Pinellas County Florida looks like it’s flipping Biden. 55-42 with 75% of the vote in. He won by 6% in 2016. The entire state is close without Broward or Dade tallied.

Florida ain't good. Miami-Dade early vote was hot garbo, and Donnie got a lot more votes there than 2016. Looking like an early repeat of 2018 where Florida freaks everyone out and we're waiting on everything else.

Consume your beverages and/or illicit substances if you need calm :)

They haven’t counted vbm in Dade, just in person early voting. He’s also out preforming everywhere else and had a 2% lead according to Reuters. Florida is a garbage state but it doesn’t seem like it’s over.

Seems like the senate might actually be in play? Hearing it might be 48-48 now. If Ossoff wins his runoff in Jan, could make senate a +1 Dem majority.

I thought Ossoff was down by 100k to Perdue right now. Loeffler-Warnock is the run off in January.

I hope that this doesn’t become a legal thing. I think there are too many states to flip so it’s less likely the vote is stolen, but 2020 is a cruel mistress.

The midterm election didn't have Trump at the top to get the chuds out.
Cult of personality.

This is my take away too. I think it’s naive to say anything beyond this because Biden flipped a lot of counties he was supposed to, Trump just cut leads in Miami Dade and the like.

I think dems should definitely push left, especially in cities, then push worker rights, infrastructure, and health care in conservative areas. I think pushing too far in rural areas works against them, but if they keep it local while still being progressive it can work I think.

Let NY go after him. He’s committed enough crimes before he was President. Biden doesn’t need to go after him directly, just open doors and files to cooperate with their investigations. NY can do the heavy lifting and the President Elect can say “states rights.”

Super weird that something as seemingly benign as having a pet speaks a lot about a person. I’ve met plenty of people who don’t have pets because their lifestyle makes it unfair to the pet, but what kind of psycho doesn’t at least want a dog or cat? My wife and I have to talk each other down from getting more pets because we already have two dogs and two cats. At least once a month on of us sees a stray that we want to take in and the other has to talk logic that we can’t afford it, or it wouldn’t be fair to the other pets we already have.

Hi, Rookie to conspiracy theory game here.

Is Q a single person? My assumption that Qanon was a collective of people similar to Anonymous.

Most people think Q of recent is Jim Watkins who runs 8kun. The same people think Q was three bored conspiracy theorist in 4chan before switching sites.

I saw the Clyburn interview. It wasn’t that he said defund the police is dumb, just that it’s not branded well. This is something we’ve all said when it comes Dem messaging. The question remains should we really care what Suzy soccer mom thinks or if we should just rebrand then intent, accountability in policing.

Here’s a bs argument floating around chud groups on Twitter. Manipulation of statistics to make it seems there is legitimate fraud. The account has a lot of cherry picked or falsified statistics to “prove” their side, with a health dose of “dems compromised by China” and “Hunter Biden’s laptop!”

Do you think that they rush printed the graphics or is there a HARRIS–SHAPIRO banner out there that’s about to become shop rags?

I’m guessing a mad rush. I heard an interview with Jake Tapper and some VP Harris surrogate about the decision. Apparently in the interview for VP, Shapiro was making demands and I quote “giving off main character energy” to the point that Harris was turned off. Walz apparently was just saying he’d love to do good for the country with her. Seems like Shapiro doesn’t know how to turn off his ambition and play second fiddle. He must have missed that upgrade in the Democratic position factory, since even Buttigeig can play support.

I feel like the districting should be left to math nerds and if it survives peer review, there's your map.

NC tried that at one point. My grad school advisor was one of the key witnesses for the NC Supreme Court case for their first two overturned maps. They just ran a simple Monte Carlo simulation and shows that the 3/1 GOP advantage was completely impossible if done randomly. The map they proposed was shot down because there was bipartisan push back to letting an algorithm choose the boundaries.

I saw the stuff about his brother talking poo poo on FaceBook about Governor Walz saying

”Jeff Walz” posted:

The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future

but didn’t see he actually gave an interview. When he elaborates on what he meant,

”Jeff Walz” posted:

He told NewsNation that what he was referring to in his post by “stories” were from their childhood.

Which of course has literally nothing to do Governor Walz’s character

”Jeff Walz” posted:

Nobody wanted to sit with him, because he had car sickness and would always throw up on us, that sort of thing,” Jeff Walz said. “There’s really nothing else hidden behind there. People are assuming something else. There’s other stories like that, but I think that probably gives you the gist of it.

Exactly the kind of nothingburger I’d expect from his chud brother.

Trump needs two hands to drink a small bottle of water and Kamala grew up in Oakland but is also a cop so it’s a toss up.
