So we're all going to our local Chili's on Wednesday in solidarity if the election goes our way, correct?

There's one about 3 miles from the house.   I'll have moderate difficulty getting the wife to agree, but in the spirit of the solidarity, I'm sure she would happily oblige.    

I got a hankering for a burger or something and an el presidente. Y’all got it in my head and now that’s what I want, so there.

Fine. I pledge that If Kamala wins I will go to Chili's on Wednesday.

Michael Moore is very confident in a Harris win.

I honestly can't believe this message isn't banged about more. It's not a policy issue at stake, this is a referendum on democracy itself. One candidate wants to continue our political system of peaceful transfer of power going forward. The other is vowing to dismantle it and replace it with an authoritarian implementation. He says it'll be the last time we ever have to vote. He already started riots over this. He said he should be able to serve more than two terms.

This isn't about the economy, or immigration, or any of that shit. More fundamentally, this is an election on whether the USA as we know it continues to exist or gets replaced with a defacto dictatorship. This is fucking scary.

Literally, just fucking elect her and then go back to picking Republicans in 2025/2026 and beyond.  For the love of God, you will get another chance in 2028 if she wins.

Been saying this for months. The worst-case scenario for Kamala is she's not any good and she's replaced in 2028/29. Worst-case scenario for Trump? American Democracy is dead.

I think you're understating the worst-case scenario. 

Here's some happy Friday afternoon thoughts

This is about to be a bloodbath. Nate Cohn is basically saying pollsters are smol beans who didn't want Republicans to yell at them and were scared we'd realize that everything they do is worthless:

 

Thanks Nate.

Hasn't this has been a prevailing wisdom here for weeks?

Because of how markets work. One sees much greater volume than the other.

Honestly, Moore predicting a Harris win is the FIRST piece of news that gives me any hope.  Because, yeah, MM and I were on exactly the same page in 2016.  We saw the writing on the wall, shouted all the warnings we could, but we were just voices lost in all the noise.

If MM is seeing a Harris win - and MM sees the people and kind of voters who actually will decide this thing - then that's a good indicator for us.

Interesting article from the Daily Beast about mounting pressure on shrub Bush to endorse Harris. 

During a live interview that aired Friday on The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast, Liz Cheney said, “I can’t explain why George W. Bush hasn’t spoken out, but I think it’s time, and I wish that he would.””

Shrub’s daughter is all in with Harris. Of course she is.

My understanding is the dotard side was working the numbers to help provide perception of his winning, right along with all the right winger pollsters. And now they're cashing out as it crashes. 

If there was a time for an ex-President to say something it is now. Bush really should. Or even better, Laura. The Emperor, I mean his VP, came out against Trump.

And would.

 

Brisket, any room on the ledge just in case?

Fewer shares on the right maybe makes it more sensitive to swings? Not familiar with the ins and outs of predict it.

Edit: Wait, I bet it's some MAGA nutjobs holding out on the Michelle Obama bit. That might unironically be my answer.

Honestly, of Bush's many unforgiveable sins -- and there are many -- his failure to come out and condemn Trump is up there at the top.  Because it's easy, it's right.  And it's a shot at a sliver of redemption....but he won't take it.  He's either a complete shit human (for his many failings, I truly don't believe that he is 100% shit), or a gutless coward (this seems quite likely), or both (an option that's on the table).

Exactly. Core Trump support isn't remotely tied to who didn't win the inflation lottery of the past couple years, in fact it can't be tied to it at all because of the very fact it goes back 8+ years.

 

To this day it is insane how people writ large still don't get who the core Trump supporters really are. It's upper middle suburban/exurban whites of certain persuasions. It's not Cleetus and Meemaw.

It's both. I know PLENTY OF Cleetus's and Meemaw's that see Turmp as their champion. And there are far more of Cleetus's than there are Tobias's.

It's possible he realizes he's popular with exactly no one, and thinks it could have the opposite effect.

Yeah. I think it is not wanting to break with the party.

But imagine if Laura did. She said fuck it, I vote how I want, like an independent strong woman who cares about the future of her daughters.

The best part about this is 2000 votes for Harris takes away and equal 2000 votes for Trump. 

In a state decided by 11,000 votes in 2020.

I'm not sure what a Tobias is, but there's a lot more of the people I'm referring to than Cleeti in this country.

Cohn basically saying “I wouldn’t trust my own results bc they don’t match my vibes” is pure CYA. And pretty much why, unless polls are 150% correct this year, going to lead to them being ignored forever 

I really wish they'd been more upfront about the fact that they're current methods don't allow them to know shit about fuck. It could have lead to improvement of the system and less horserace with blinders on both the horses and the jockeys.

But, American media...

Yep. I've been on the "He's probably a pretty good dude that just had no business whatsoever being the President" train for two decades. But being a gutless pussy--we all know he's not voting for Trump-when his voice carries the weight of the only other living Republican President makes him an absolute shit heel.

Yeah, the shares traded figure at the bottom signals that everyone isn’t betting on both of those. A lot just pick one.
