These polls are not intended to have an effect on the outcome of the election. Rather, their purpose is to tee up Big Lie 2.0, Trump’s argument that he was ahead, the polls showed it and that any Harris victory has to be the result of cheating. 

Hey dipshits, remember 2016? Guess that means you cheated to win, huh.

Ralston predicts Harris 48.5 to 48.2

Atlas is releasing ANOTHER batch of polls tonight. Literally can’t wait for them to be banned for obvious spamming. You cannot produce accurate results polling every single day, somehow 


 

nothing like a Brazilian based pollster spamming shitty polls every day. I guess if the checks still cash. 

What is the deal with the Squirrel thing?

The guy who cuts my hair is a post Vietnam war immigrant, and the only thing he has latched onto politically in the decades  he’s lived here is that the GOP is anti-communist and the Democrats are communist.    When asked about the GOP and Russia, he looked me right in the eye and said “Russia is no longer communist.”
His journey to the GOP took no more effort than calling Democrats the “C” word because they did not support the war in Vietnam. And like many Vietnamese, he is a stauch Catholic, and totally onboard the one issue abortion train.

So they are saying the female vote will be less?

The big takeaway is this year's NYT poll has no relation to the reality we've seen of an early voting surge of women. We don't know about how they model their "Likely Voters," but they are obviously looking backward at the overall gender profile of who voted in 2020, and then shaping their current polling results to fit a similar overall profile.

Definitely tight as well, but he has maintained Rosen has more crossover appeal - she's well liked by indies and Republicans.

Their breath smells like musky acorns, and they never pick up a check. 

I know Trump still has a small, passionate base but overall the energy levels of his supporters comes across as much lower than 2016 and 2020. The low energy crowd will still most likely vote for him but they seem to just want everything to be over.

Look, I'm not a fan of it in terms I wish none of this stuff would happen. But if they riot again the easy solution is to Ashli Babbitt someone much more quickly this time. Once that happened they figured shit out real fast. I'm pretty confident this will happen on January 6th, 2025 because they're already designating it a national security event. The question is if they'll react accordingly in other locations on other dates.

If you want to attempt a coup then you are risking your life. Make that clear, and make it clear very early on. That's how this is handled quickly.

This thread moves too fast for me to reply within a normal time frame, so sorry if this already been covered. 
 

I think the military should mount a couple of massive machine gun turrets on the sides of the capitol, the White House, and the VP residence. And they should then put a few target practice dummies out there and absolutely unload on them. Spread that widely on social media. Insurrection mobilization neutralized. 
 

They should’ve fired early and often on all of those lowlifes as soon as they broke the first barricade on January 6. We should have no quarter and tolerance for insurrection.

My father, who has a "FJB" sticker on his garage beer fridge, muted every single political commercial - from either side - when I was at his house watching football this weekend.  I know he voted for Trump, but there is absolutely no excitement in that household about tomorrow night.

I think the poll out of Kansas showing over 65-year-old voters with a 15 point preference for Harris - which aligns with what Queen Ann in Iowa found - is the single current statistic I’m most focused on.

The women over 65 that got their rights in their lifetime aren’t going to let their daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters go back.

Maybe like 3k or so? 

CCM won by .8% and that was 8k votes.

All I know is 2 of the best prognosticators - Ralston and Selzer - see Harris winning / doing well, so why all the dooming??

Since I got to the farm this morning, 2 people I know voted for Trump in '16 and '20 told me (without me initiating the conversation in either case) that they can't vote for him anymore.  One of them said she's probably voting for Harris because of how hard the Republicans have gone after abortion (she's a 36 year old white woman with 2 daughters under 10) and that she doesn't want her daughters to grow up without those rights and protections.  The other (50 year old white guy) isn't voting for Harris, but either skipping the presidential ballot altogether or voting 3rd party out of protest.

I have a brief I have to submit to the office by COB Tuesday, so I keep fitfully working on it.   it’s also a dead bang loser - as it is a request for re-hearing to an unfriendly appellate court.   i’m trying to say what I wanna say without being sanctioned. “You stupid fucks should resign” keeps sneaking its way in there.

Who is the conservative protest vote?  Rfk if he’s on the ballot in that state?  Libertarian?

As for what to eat, here you go... Surly Approved Chili's Food Items

 

 

So - Mayor Kirk Watson isn't very online and did not have any awareness of the whole "Chili's at 45th and Lamar" thing.  An aide suggested he do the proclamation, and he was initially confused  about the reason why.  They explained it to him, but the thing is that the Mayor really likes Chilis, and that happens to be the Chilis location he goes to.

We did that with my daughter when she was real young.  She was a little over two when she came with us to Murchison Middle School on Election Day as we voted for Obama, and I recall we did the same in 2012.  I didn't vote with her in the subsequent elections, and I'm not sure how much of an impression that made on her, but she turned 18 in August and made the effort to mail in her ballot from college.  So that made me feel good.

My understanding:

SM influencer in nyc has “pet” squirrel

someone alerts local authorities, because squirrel is not allowed to be kept in the…that ain’t legal either. 
 

Authorities confiscate and euthanize squirrel. 
 

trump morons try to use it to rally the troops. 
 

Saw later on that the influencer also does gay porn. 
 

No interest in fact checking any of the above.

Agree 100% except firing live rounds.  Might as well do it now while Biden is still Potus.  Word will get out.

my wife took both of my girls with her when she voted for Hillary.  she asked them if they wanted to go with her this time and before they could answer I was like "let's do everything the opposite this time!"

My 2 year-old and 1 month-old have both been in the voting booth with me. Yet when I try to turn on MSNBC for election coverage, all I hear is "Noooooo, want watch Trash Truck!". Youths...
