Congratulations Harris. Get ready to become more than a president. She will become light itself
Demo are gonna lose this election, take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror and say “We’ve gotta get more genocidal.”
I don’t believe the American people are good enough to reject genocide, but I’m willing to be proven wrong.
Oh, and how is Nate Silver still around? I thought the humiliation of 2016 should have made him crawl under a rock to hide forever

Pretty much. Though even then it’s also a toss-up, because the system genuinely has nothing to offer and anyone with sense knows it, Klanmala’s “joy” and genocidal vibes can’t replace the actual material conditions Trump is calling out (though he won’t fix them either).
A bad country, with a bad society (many good people, but a profoundly and perhaps inherently sick and wretched society), and admittedly they’ll get what they deserve (same counts for my country and the entire west TBF).

Huh? Silver was literally the only “serious” prognosticator who forecasted a possible upset; everyone else thought it was a no contest (Princeton gave it like a 99.5% “Bayesian” prediction for Hillary).
“Bayesian”
“Bayesian” in contemporary use means “make up numbers and apply those made up numbers until whatever result you want to happen looks likely, even inevitable.”
Am I misremembering? Who was the statistician who predicted a slam dunk for Clinton and then later released a post about why he got it wrong?
it may have the Princeton Consortium guy. i think he said he’d literally eat his shoes, or a pile of bugs or something if he lost – i’m sure he at least ate rhetorical crow and had to follow up with a mea culpa post.
I don’t get why a 70/30 projection for Clinton should have humiliated him? He was more skeptical of Hillary than a lot of mainstream media. What should humiliate him are his dogshit analysis of political strategy and COVID stuff, not his projections
lose, you piece of shit
Honestly I thought this would be a slam dunk for Trump after the assassination photo, then he completely failed to capitalize on that, then I thought it would be a slam dunk for Harris, then she did absolutely nothing to make her likeable and got an endorsement from Cheney. How are both presidential candidates so bad at running for president
Neither have anything to offer and they know it.
The mask is peeling off, Musk is already blatantly bragging about being the “shadow president” behind Trump like its something to be proud of.
I just assume he’s fully possessed by the ghost of Kissinger. He’s got the inscrutable accent, bloodthirst, and Wormtongue bearing down already, so let’s see what his take on Cambodia is.
On the other hand Kissinger was a genuine strategic genius who orchestrated the downfall of the Soviet Union while Elon Musk can’t tie his own shoes because it doesn’t have AI booba
u fucking wot, m8

Or literally just search the phrase “the myth of Henry Kissinger” and read any of the numerous pieces along those lines to understand that you have been snookered by propaganda.
Well he certainly isn’t becoming president the regular way given that he’s not a natural born citizen.
So “shadow president” is the best he can possibly get.
all the years of hysteria and bullshit from both parties and american voters are about to come out probably in record numbers to deliver the same result as a random number generator app
maybe Americans are smarter than I thought lol
From what I understand, Trump actually got chilled by the attempt, right? Like he actually had to stop and think about the world and his place in it for the first time in his life. I don’t know, I’m sorry to anthropomorphize a republican. I haven’t really been following. But he’s supposedly talented at reading the room, right?
I don’t know if I’m online too much, and I’m definitely not smart enough to put things together, but it seems like these next few years will determine the next few decades and neither Trump nor Kamala wants to deal with that. To elaborate, war is on the horizon, the targets are China, DPRK, Iran, and Russia, and the events are already being set in motion. The wars will be both cumbersome, expensive, and potentially unpopular and blame and vitrol will be on whoever wins this next election. So with that said, neither party really wants to win nor deal with whatever turmoil comes from these upcoming conflicts. If Democrats want to keep the very little bit of legitimacy they have, they’d lose the next election , blame Trump for the wars and economic downfalls, and pick up whatever is left in 4-8 years.
My timelime might be off though.
I think both of them REALLY want to be president, Kamala for the sheer prestige of it and for being the first black women to do it, and Trump at this point as a personal interest in staying out of jail. I doubt either of them think war is on the horizon and if they do they probably believe they can avoid it (Kamala by continuing the ukraine war and trump by ending it)

I have to disagree here. Both sides have been at least drumming up support to attack Iran, unsure how this will look at the moment, but they agree that Iran is their “biggest” target and are not shy in saying so. That rhetoric tied with the unwavering support for isntreal gives either side the consent to target Iran.
Yeah I throw my hands up regarding iran, legit don’t know what is real and what is just spectacle

I’ve seen some people float this idea. The Democrats are throwing this election so they can get Gruesome Newsome to the White House in 2028.
Cool democracy when like 7% of the total population of the entire country determines the outcome of federal elections.
The outcome of elections that don’t matter because it’s actually 9 freaks in robes who control this country
There is only one Senate Parliamentarian, and she doesn’t share power
The wills of the Nine were lost to her long ago.
How the fuck are there still undecided voters, you’d think everyone at this point would have already cemented their opinions but it seems like there’s just a good third of the USA running purely on vibes.
Americans are so idiosyncratic that I don’t think you’d get a solid straight answer. My mother is currently in the third of undecided voters. She likes Trump because she despises Mexicans, but she also likes Harris because she feels like a Harris administration would involve a full UK annexation of Ireland.
Americans are not normal people
would involve a full UK annexation of Ireland.
How in the fuck
my mother is very deranged and believes herself to be a reincarnation of several ancient Egyptian dieties. Her political ideology is a combination of white suburban frailty, a fetish for vampires, paganism gleaned from the History Channel, and an intense hateful rivalry of her elderly Latina coworker
Exactly, I don’t really think there are a lot of people who are undecided. People aren’t voting on individual issues anymore, there are two competing narratives regarding what the future of US should look like, and people either subscribe to one or the other. Anybody who is going to vote for Harris was already going to vote democrats regardless of who the candidate is because they think the republicans are destroying the country, and vice versa.
My buddy works for the dems currently, and I had made the joke about Dems doing vibes-based-politics a few times, and apparently, yes, they are doing vibes based politicking as a policy. They’re told not to talk about issues but rather just how bad everything will be if she doesn’t win. He tried to request talking points for different policies, and they literally don’t have any.
I mean if you’re the average American voter and your only care is “will I benefit more economically under Trump or Harris” the answer isn’t immediately obvious. Anyone who’s a single issue voter on Palestine doesn’t have a super straightforward choice either, although I imagine most of them will vote third party or not at all.
There are no undecided voters there are just liars and lonely people who think surveys count as human interaction.
You underestimate the power of
, most people are incredibly uninformed when it comes to politics.
I’m wondering if polling companies are quietly bundling “none of the above” with “undecided”.
I’m somewhere between “I’m worried Donald Trump will come for my hormones and force me to destransition” and “I want to see the democrats destroyed”

Nobody could have predicted that Republicans weren’t going to vote for a Black woman in the presidential elections.
After all, Republicans are famous for their acceptance of Black people and how well they treat women.
Are democrats that clueless about politics? Americans love love LOVE the GOP. They’re more loyal to it than their wives.
If they actually cared about progressivism, it would be much easier to recruit a bunch of white men allies, register as republicans, hide your power level and claim you’re fash and when you get elected do all the progressive stuff behind everyone’s backs.
There are a bunch of “moderate” Republicans that don’t like Trump because he’s an incompetent clown, they would rather have a competent fascist in power, I suppose that’s who Kamala is trying to appeal to. But if you ask me, the moderate Republicans will still vote Trump for the party behind him. The Dems have people like Warren and Bernie in their party who might do something pro-labor once in 4 years, so just vote NSDAP no matter who.
