Can't speak to what female teenagers are specifically thinking (can anyone?) but my teenage son keeps talking about everyone being excited about Kamala.  Granted, they're not able to vote but there's a lot of enthusiasm among the younger generations.  That will pay off.  None of that was happening with Biden and I'm positive it wasn't with Trump (maybe in backwoods Mississippi, though)

To go along with this.  My 13 year old daughter who has never spoken about politics before sent me this yesterday:

Olivia Rodrigo endorsed Kamala Harris for President! : r/OliviaRodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo is huge in her age group.  

NYT poll has Trump +1, which is a 5 point swing towards Harris since their last one with Biden 

Harris +1 with RFK only at 5%

He doesn’t understand the difference between political asylum seekers and a fictional insane asylum escaped by a fictional serial killer in a fictional movie.

Yeah, the top image....I can't make heads or tails of it, can't tell what number changed to what (and I don't know what agedep is).  And Harris LOSING support from black voters....also makes no sense.

I dunno. I can see a world where black men don't want to vote for ANY woman, black or white. Of course I'm a fucking white man, so what the shit do I know? (nothing).

It has to be black men, but the crosstabs have been really bad with black and younger voters. I’d like to see another org do another big poll of just black voters with a huge sample.

the thing about small sample crosstabs is they’re so small, that 4-5 people can swing it 10-15% in one direction

The tweet I posted has the numbers that changed, TLDR is good for Kamala. Agedep is the polling that had 18-29 voters going for Trump and 65+ going to Biden this year. That’s complete horseshit, no answer aside from NYT being trash.

Da fuq?

People are weird / polling still broken.

1) In no way do I believe Kamala Harris has less black voter support than Biden.

And B. Latinos #’s look borked.

Ain’t no way Kamala es muy bueno y Biden es muy malo to that extent.

And thirdly, dumb whites have far more racism to offer than this poll indicates.

My 9 year old has been asking questions and is very interested in the big picture. I’m equipping her best I can to be an absolute fucking force to be reckoned with once she turns 18. Republicans are going to rue the day they tried to lie, cheat, steal the soul of our nation.  
 

There's no longer any ‘decide whats best for you’. There’s a clear cut right/wrong side of things. They have made the choice extremely simple.

That social media woman had the best explanation.  He heard from some aide that Venezuela and some Central American countries were pouring out their mental hospitals, jails, and insane asylums to cross Mexico into the U.S.  And on another occasion, he hears many are coming here seeking 'asylum.'  He conflates the two definitions, and asks for a high profile example of somebody dangerous from an asylum., and Hannibal Lecter pops up on the first page.  Without any understanding of political/religious/humanitarian asylum, he just runs with the talking point that everybody kinda nods their head to like, "Yeah, I think I remember that guy."

The other weird thing, besides him constantly pointing out one person to be cannibalized at each really, is he prefaces it with "The Late, Great Hannibal Lecter."  Hannibal doesn't die in the movie.  We know this because we don't see him die, but fade into the crowd in the Bahamas.  And he resurfaces stateside ten years later for another rampage.  Anthony Hopkins, as you point out, is still alive in real life as well.  

First thing they tell you when you're showing dementia/early cognitive decline is to get out of your mental routine.  Don't keep talking to the same people about the same thing over and over and over again.  Just because you keep saying weird shit and it feels comforting, doesn't mean it doesn't accelerate the decline.  You've got to expose yourself to new books, new groups of people, new activities requiring some brain power (puzzles, swimming, gardening, etc.), new shows and movies, new topics of conversation.  It was one thing in 2016 when he was barely 70 because it got his crowd riled up because they craved easily digestible politics.  But now, he's just running a paint-by-numbers thing, gets no pushback, and it's blatantly obvious to even the casual independent that he has no original thoughts anymore. 

He's just on a loop to the bottom.

I hate it when someone posts their analysis of a poll, but doesn't include a link to the poll.  While a poll might have some value in total, when you start getting down to demographic splits, you might be talking 30 people with practically no statistical meaning.  

And, yeah, not posting the row headers makes me question their basic competency.

he did the same thing as POTUS when he thought actual coyotes (the animals) were coming over the border because it wasn't secure.  he didn't realize that smugglers are called coyotes.  his brain can't handle when one word has more than one meaning.

I was probably one of the biggest Harris supporters on this board in 2020.  

Sometimes you seize the moment (Obama 08, Trump 16) and sometimes the moment comes to you (Biden 20, Harris 24).

Wait....the nutbar in Pennsylvania thought Trump was a womp rat (they're both not much bigger than two meters), and tried to take him out with an AR-15 instead of a T-16?

I don't think she went far enough. I think she should start ending that statement with "I'm not sure why a venue chance should matter to him, unless he's scared of a woman and hopes to have a friendly environment."
