And it got worse in 2015-2016. When Trump came on the scene politically.ย 

And how did that happen?

ย 

It's actually like.. stomach-churning that this strategy worked out in the end for corporate Dems.

ย 

It backfired for Clinton in the short-term, but it effectively - in the year of 2024 - has seen Democrats not have to move to the left but instead comfortably move themselves just to the right enough to absorb disaffected Never Trump Republicans and siphon them off from the far-right Republican that Dems helped to create.

ย 

They simply negotiated that Republicans be "okay" with some aspects of abortion and gay marriage if they get to continue hating poor people.ย 

ย 

I'm sure foreign liberals posting from the privileged comforts of places like Australia or some European nation will scream about the observation that Kamala Harris is right-wing, but when Dems have to give policy concessions like no longer supporting universal healthcare to win over war criminals like Dick Cheney, who is actually winning?

Nate Silver's ***** ass says Trump will win. Should I be concerned. :chick2:

IIRC, Nate doesn't make predictions, he just has a model that spits out probabilities.ย 

His model has multiple issues (like weighing polls from bad pollsters heavily and deducting points from Kamala-favored polls to "make up for" things he thinks his model is missing) and he's paid by Republican billionaire Peter Thiel so believe what you'd like.

With gas prices slightly down do we expect to see a favorability boost from that side of the electorate?

IDK but I just filled my tank up for less than $25 for the first time in years so... THANKS KAMALENOMICS!

Why is this giving boomer Facebook copy and paste "don't use my pictures better safe than sorry" posts :rip:ย

He's so damn dumb. Does he think the President gets to choose what a person's prison sentence is lmao?

ย 

And this doesn't sound like someone who thinks he's going to win.

When I see how Dump signs are keep popping out in my neighborhood here and there (it wasn't like that 4 years ago), it's better to prepare mentally for the worstย :giraffe:

The thing is, the only one of these that actually is accurate is her support for abortion rights. Everything else is also a stated position of Republicans (tax cuts, lowering costs) or just a straight lie (preserving democracy, when she was literally nominated without submitting to a primary vetting process and not earning even a single delegate across two primaries).

ย 

At least people are admitting that elections are about worthless vibes instead of meaningful policy change.

Don't think many people understand that millions of Americans will be swept up in a "mass deportation" operation. Or maybe they don't care.

ย 

Mass deportation cannot work if the system is selective. It does not work if the agents in charge have to go from person to person being like, "can I see your identification please?" No, it only works if a wide net is thrown to pull in as many people as possible and then dealing with the "wrong ones being pulled in" later. Mass deportation only works by racially profiling anyone who looks brown and then worrying about if they're actually undocumented at a later date. This means millions of American citizens will be sent to camps only to then have to fight to prove that they are citizens while millions of undocumented people are being processed. Millions of Americans will be trapped inside these camps for days, weeks, months, or even years.

ย 

I know people don't like this comparison, but that's exactly how the Holocaust occurred. The Nazis didn't just use documentation to identify Jews, they were also often just like, "yeah, you look like a Jew, off to the camps". I know several Conservatives who are married to Latinas or could be mistaken as Latino themselves... so careful what you wish for. This will also lead to paranoia around the country which will only further the racial profiling. This will affect nearly every single brown person in this country because most white people are too ******* dumb to differentiate between races when it comes to being anything other than pale white.

Something similar happened in the UK a few years ago under Theresa May with people from the Windrush Generation who had lived in the UK for decades being deported/not allowed back in after travelling.ย 
ย 

It was a mess, I can definitely see something even worse happening in the US.

Hmmm, sure does sound like a threat towards Palestine. Will leftists heed this warning and stop trying to push people away from Kamala, or will their ego and obsession with "sticking it to the Dems" keep them from doing so?

The stuff that's been happening lately with people attacking anyone who looks Muslim in the streets all because of those lies about who stabbed those girls... Imagine that kind of paranoia widespread here in the US when it comes to anyone who is brown. We're going to go from "Haha VEEP is now real life" to "the Purge is now real life".

If the election was tomorrow - Harris would lose :skull:

I dont feel inclined to doom over a single national poll. And we did get some decent state polling from YouGov and TIPP today. So, keep on keeping on I suppose.ย :katie:

The actual result of the poll aside, I can't believe we had to wait all this time and sit through almost two weeks of low quality Republican pollsters flooding the zone just to get aย nationalย poll from NYT :deadbanana:ย Like I figured the wait was because they had multiple swing state polls in the field :skull:

With each passing cycle, poll watching has gotten worse and worse. It doesnt seem worth it anymoreย :gaycat6:

Honestly after following the last 2 elections the doom and gloom people create over polling is something I've learned to embrace. It's actually quite entertaining tbh
