Kamala vs the Orange Felon - Presidential Race 2024 - Polls, News, Etc...

[Muse]

Yes we all realize the EC sucks. Yes under the worst case scenario it would be possible to win with 11 votes vs 100M+ for the other guy. Or a 538 pt blowout in the EC with 50 more votes than the other guy.

Even under semi-realistic voting scenarios a candidate could win with 23% of the popular vote.
Saying “POLLS DONT MATTER!1!1 THE POPULAR VOTE DOESNT MATTER ONEONE||” isn’t remotely helpful.

Everyone on this board understands the EC determines the president.

However WE WILL NOT FUNDAMENTALLY KNOW WHAT THE EC SAYS UNTIL SOMETIME AFTER THE ELECTION.

Polls are the only thing that provides insight into the race TODAY. They are the ONLY thing that matters if a candidate wants to know how to spend their time and resources TODAY to improve their chances of winning.

Scientific polls are well correlated with the EC. That doesn’t mean they’ll predict the eventual EC outcome it does mean it can predict who has the best chance of an EC win or if a race is close enough that the winner is uncertain. Both cases are useful to a candidate to know now.

Here's a discussion of polling in PA that came out today, which purports to be uncommonly significant.

BREAKING: Best Poll Yet For Harris | Bulwark Take​

Dude, who shit in your corn flakes this morning?

Hope you don't mind but I've categorized that as a "Friendly Folksy Saying" and putting that one in my back pocket for future use.

 

[HomerJS]

This is an EMERGENCY ALERT!

Head to safety! Get cover, get out of town, take your families away from MaraLago.. Trump's gonna blow!!!

BM shocked the raging asshole acted like a raging asshole? You sure can pick em

 

[Meghan54]

Ah, yeah, I get what you are saying. Those little comments drive me nuts too. I usually notice it more when it about a politician or news anchor.

You’re right…I have been hypercritical and abusive to women in all my posting on this forum for the years I’ve been here.

You’ve found me out! Oh, the horrors.

You know, many moons ago I originally heard it as “Who pissed on your cornflakes this morning?”

I'm not saying that comment in itself was all the egregious, more completely unnecessary in the context. Sure, she's sexualized herself, but even so, the comment wasn't germane to the discussion. Little unnecessary side comments may be innocuous on their own, but they contribute to the overall tone of the forum.

For sure there are more egregious examples, and they've been irking me for a long time now. I happened to pick this one to speak up, partially because I was under the (mistaken) impression that Meghan would want to have an actual conversation about what I feel is a pretty big issue around here.

I think the loss of the babe thread has scattered the usual incels and regular old geeks back into the normal threads without the usual channel to unload their...needs.

that being said, I don't think what Meghan said up there was particularly bad in context, though yes I actually did twist my mouth a bit when I first read it. Still, I mean he's 70 years old! If I called out my long-dead grandmother every time she had some problem "with those blacks on all the basketball teams these days!" (this was like, 2003, mind you), then we never would have talked about anything else.

Harris favorable has now gone positive in 538's average. What a chart lol.

I'd say we have problems bigger than any election in this country.

Ohio sheriff says to ‘write down’ addresses of homes with Harris signs​

“I say … write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!” Zuchowski (R) said. That way, he said, when undocumented immigrants — which he referred to as a “locust” — flooded in, “We’ll already have the addresses of their New families … who supported their arrival!”​

 

[Perknose]

Again, enough with this election irrelevancy! The spiders have found this thread, and they're coming for me!

The problems are tied to the election, a significant part of the voting population is willing to bet that they will ultimately benefit (and that the undesirables will be punished) by moving towards a more autocratic form of government. They are, of course, right that the undesirables will be punished, they just lack understanding that they will also suffer and will have given up the ability to easily take action about it. When it's too late, they might lament the militarization of our police.

Hey, does anyone remember that famous "concepts of a plan" Healthcare statement from ages ago? Well, it turns out that Vance has spilled the beans and the plan they're conceptualizing is, get this, "let insurers charge more for pre-existing conditions."

That's a home run of a plan right there.

Vance has to be a DNC plant. Joe Biden is a criminal mastermind!

It gets worse! Now the biggest mostest orangest web (of lies!) spinner ever is coming to The Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa, which is less than 10 minutes from my house!

"DOYLESTOWN, PA — Former President Donald Trump may be visiting the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in New Britain Township on Sunday, according to published reports.

The shrine is in discussions with federal and local authorities, but a visit hasn't been confirmed, a spokesperson for the shrine told the Bucks County Courier Times on Tuesday.

The Rev. Maksymilian Ogar, the shrine’s press secretary, told the news organization that if the former president was to come, it would be a visit to pray and not an official event."

^^^ Bullshit. That fat fuck doesn't have a prayer!

"Levittown Now is reporting that the former president is planning to meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda at the Polish-American shrine on Sunday. Duda is in the United States as part of the United Nation’s General Assembly in New York City."

^^^ First spiders, now T-Rump, what's next . . . a posse of angry ex-girlfriends?

Ah, the genius of the plan is the simplicity!

And also the stupidity. It's so stupid it's just GOT to work, all our healthcare woes will be solved by simply letting insurers charge more money! See, it's just like how we solve our gun violence problem by adding more guns until the problem goes away.

I always thought "deplorables" only applied to the small minority of the far right. It seems to be more and more applicable to wide swaths of Republicans these days, though.

Welcome to reality. It's been 8 years...

 

[Muse]

It didn't seem to change the numbers the first time, but unclear how a second "attempt" in two months changes things, or not. Uncharted waters, all of it.

I wonder if Elon deleting his post didn't have something to do with him realizing that his security detail isn't as robust as Donald's (whose detail appears to be fairly flimsy, alas).

Well if he doesn't consent to be being made the FBI's interrogated.. the CIA could send a reaper drone after his aircraft and no one will ever know what happened..

That guy should lose his job, pronto.

Edit: I see he's running for reelection. He should be booed off every stage he takes, humiliated and dogged to rescind his candidacy.

Just be nice to them and scratch their bellies, you'll be fine.

I postulated over dinner some months before the 2016 General that Trump was out to destroy the Republican Party. It appears to me that I may have been correct. Is it not in a shambles? Kinda?

Da Devil made her do it!!!

MAGA Pastor Claims Kamala Harris Deployed 'Witchcraft' in Trump Debate​

The pastor said the vice president was able to use "occult-empowered deception" against Trump.



.

Please, no! The last thing we need is Trump or Gamce to start talking about witchcraft. Once that happens, it would then be a small amount of time before someone starts a Salem witch trials in the United States. That something we do not want.
On the other hand... it would be interesting if Trump or Harris was to use Otaku to gain support in their campaigns. Although, I only heard it works only in Japan.
