Tik tok seems to play more favorable trump shit for "some" reason. Social media is awesome and sucks. 

Almost as if it is being done on purpose by a foreign entity to sow discord? Tik Tok is doing for the young this cycle what Facebook did for the olds in 2016.

And both groups are too stupid and stubborn to admit they’ve been played.

So at what point do we stop getting loaded on our supply of copium and realize Biden is heading for a loss?

How stupid. We control the voting process, the ballots and the software. On top of that, the biggest political donors are all Democrats, and that's not even close. Maga Moron doesn't have a chance in hell.

Trump isn’t winning the election.  Do I say that with 100% certainty? No. Only death, taxes and OU sucks is 100% guaranteed.  Come Election Day, those on the fence will come to their senses and vote Biden.

Agreed.  But Trump does have Putin backing him.

 

And how are these people getting through likely voter screens???

It's always fair to say that you are unhappy with the results of someone that you previously gave your vote but it's something else to throw the vote to the other candidate based on that disappointment. 

 

On another note, the S&P 500 is up 58% from the last election date. Anyone with money in the stock market is a fool to not continue with Biden. Why rock the boat.

I don't understand that chart at all.

Biden leads with black voters 62-15. Rest didn’t state a preference, will vote third party or won’t vote. 

He’s winning 85% of his black voters from 2020 and Trump is only retaining 70% of his. Of those who voted third party in 2020, Biden is winning 32-8

The data says of those who didn’t vote in 2020, Biden would win them 38-20. Those 20% of non-2020 voters are what’s skewing the polling with Trump’s number with black voters. They are low propensity/unlikely to turn out (same with non-2020 young voters) so unsure why they are leaking into likely voter screen since usually the first Q is did you vote in 2020/2022

Question 1: Are you planning or likely to vote in the 2024 presidential election?

Am I misreading this chart or is it saying that 22% of black voters who voted Trump in 2020 are planning on voting Biden this year (compared to 4% of the inverse)?  That seems like quite the opposite of the national narrative?

That’s what it says. Because the tiny samples in the polls are usually really bad and not accurate

Because they are fucking dumb enough to answer unknown calls on their phone?

So, to be clear, we are all being told that we need to believe polling that shows certain demographics slipping away from Biden towards Trump and yet THE POLLS DON'T EVEN SHOW THAT?!  What is happening?  

(And a minor quibble, but what the hell kind of poll offers "Not Sure" and "Don't Know" as two distinct options for "who do you plan to vote for?")

Very strange how the one demographic most likely to respond to traditional polling techniques is the one demographic showing up well for Joe.

The stock market is up because of Trump not Biden.  Everything good that happens is because of Trump and everything bad is because we didn't let Trump make it good.  Now if the stock market were down then that would be Biden's fault.

Idiots have finally become the dominant and most empowered constituency in American politics.  Once that happened, it was all over.

And you never could.  The idea that we could was an illusion, and it always was.  A lie we told ourselves so we could sleep at night.

We have 161 million registered voters in the US, so a poll of 1,600 people who have the time and are dumb enough to answer unknown phone calls (or emails) to base the whole country's political future on makes perfect sense these days.

What a piece of shit. In a normal world this should end the election. But our dumb fucking electoral college is keeping his hopes alive. Has there ever been a more clear need to scrap the EC.

This is what he wants, mass love for dear leader. Everyone stands when he stands …..

It’s people who really aren’t all that serious that keep pumping Trump in these polls.  Those people usually don’t vote.  Of course I’m not as happy as I should be because there’s still a nonzero chance orange shitstain wins.

zero reason to spend money now

This election is about who gets out more of the 2020 vote. This will not be an all time high participation event like 2020.

I saw him the first time on the Denton subreddit. He was at the square. Same sign.

He made r/Texas today and several people have seen him around N. Texas.

 

He’s shown up in Sherman a few times, basically pops up all over the North Texas region. I call him Anarchist Grandpa.

That's pretty clear from the lack of public enthusiasm from Trump supporters - in 2020, they were like fucking Crossfitters or Navy SEALs - they would tell you their life story without you asking and they wouldn't shut the fuck up about it, or in the case of MAGA, they had to have a sign or a sticker or that fucking hat displayed somewhere in their vehicle or on their property.

Now it's odd to see MAGA signs.

He’s proving that they are all bark by themselves or in small groups. They need the dynamics of a large group to feel empowered.

Saw two dumbasses at Meanwhile Brewing this past weekend in Austin... one wearing her blue Trump 2024 shirt and a MAGA hat with flair.  The other one wearing a MAGA hat.  Looked like dumbasses.  

i'm becoming a bit sanguine about this election season.  i've decided there is no such thing as information that will give any insight into the 2% margin either direction that this will end up being, so no use continually mining for it.  my next six months just really opened up.

Pretty much where I’m at too. I live in Texas. I’m going to vote. I’m not going to phone bank or volunteer because you know what?  If people can’t see this for what it is, we deserve everything coming to us. 
 

This isn’t some devious, well-disguised nemesis that is infiltrating us. They are doing it right out in the open. They are telling us. Fuck us all if we make the wrong choice. 

Every time someone says, "We deserve what we get"

Nah man, F that.  We don't deserve what we get.  That is fatalistic.  We deserve better.
