A guy at work today said he wasn’t worried about prop 3 failing because he has a medical Marijuana card. Like, dude, you’re a brown man on a list of Marijuana consumers and the modern day nazis just got elected and now wield the fbi and DEA with no guardrails. He’s fucked and he refuses to see it.

“America is for Americans!”

Yeah I was wrong about a prediction I made six months ago. Before the Biden trump debate. Before the assassination attempt. Before the conventions.

You really got me.

She needs an attorney general with balls. I nominate Hillary Clinton.

I think the point is cops can’t use jaywalki g as a pretense to stop and frisk, ask for ID, etc now.

Maybe this ages like milk but… The side that expects to win doesn’t destroy ballots. It seems very likely to me that this was a Trumper and they all know, in their heart of hearts, Trump has a ceiling of 47pts and will never have broad enough support to win the ec again.

My grandmother recently died. Her son and his awful wife couldn’t wait to swoop in and take all her stuff. I actually didn’t mind though. They took all the tvs and old fur coats. Me and my brother got the pictures they left on the walls and the silly fridge magnets she liked. I think we ended up with the better stack of stuff at the end of the day.

Undecided voters.

Can you read?

Undecided voters don’t give a shit about Gaza. They couldn’t even tell you what continent Gaza is on.

He has 30 people on staff? Why? I could do his show, and do it better, with a fifth as many people.

The problem is that the only people willing to work for obvious grifters are other grifters.

why would we expect to see turnout in Nov of 2024 surpass turnout in Nov of 2022 based on an event that happened in Jan of 2021?

Because it’s a presidential election year. Turnout is always higher in those elections.

I put in about 50 satisfactory hours with my wife. I got hung up at trains though. I’ll probably try again someday.

Already did, thanks.

For anyone thinking, “dems always vote early. This means nothing”, consider :

This is the first presidential election since roe VS Wade fell.

This is the first presidential election since Jan 6.

There are a shit load of registered republicans and former republicans (hi that’s me) that hate trump and can’t wait to vote against him. Just look at Haley’s primary votes. People talk about how the dems have lost young men but the Republicans, I would argue, have lost twice as many or more numbers of millenials and boomers from Trump’s antics. It will just depend what state those balances work out in.

I’m in central Florida. In 2016 and 2020 there were plenty of trump signs and shit all over. Today, Except for one billboard on i-275 complaining about grocery prices, there’s really nothing. Enthusiasm for Trump, even among his diehards, has seriously waned.

I understand it too. I felt the same way about Biden before he dropped out. Yeah, I was still gonna vote for him but… I certainly wasn’t gonna be over the moon to do so. Compared to kamala who I’m actually happy to vote for. The Republicans schlonged themselves I think.

Glad we sorted that one out. Tell you ancestors thank you for their service. Or don’t. I’m not your mother.

Ignore the polls. Look at the trump signs around you. At least where I’m at in Florida, they’re probably at tenth of what they were in 2020. I was a republican in 2020 that voted for Biden and renounced my affiliation after the senate acquitted in the second impeachment. The only demographic that Trump is seeing increased support from is young men, a famously allergic to going to the polls group.

We should fight like hell to make it a landslide but the polls published right now are only there to drive engagement. Democrats have outperformed the polls by 5-10pts in every election since 2020.
