Does anyone actually realistically think Florida is in play? Feels similar to when the GOP felt like Virginia was in play a couple months ago.

Yep, that would be the goal. It just feels incredibly unlikely at this stage. Even in 2021, which was objectively the worst roster the Braves have had since 2018/2019, the hot streak started in August. But...you don't have to squint to hard to see it. Sale, Fried, Schwellenbach, Morton (unless...

The Daily did an interesting episode about this a week or two ago- I'll link the transcript below. A couple of points I thought were interesting: 1. Colleges seem to be using class as a proxy for race, which has led to an increase in economic diversity across the board and has contributed to...

Tbh kind of hoping the Dodgers just give the Braves the Old Yeller treatment this weekend. It's time to end the pain that has been this season. In all seriousness, given the most injury riddled season in franchise history (including a top 3 pitcher in the sport, a top 3 position player in the...

It's a pretty bleak list. Maybe Lil' Wayne or one of the other rappers that Trump pardoned.

My bad- didn't realize he was either Trump or third party. By all means vote Nikki in that case. I'm good with that person giving up their agency.

Writing in third party has precisely the same effect as sitting out: you give up any agency that you might have in actually effectuating change. The downside impact in this particular election is that you might contribute to putting Trump back in the White House as a little accidental side effect.

Ha- no it wouldn't be idiotic because it's a very strange thing for someone to type on a message board. I run a Taylor Swift social platform.

There are definitely things changed. People deciding not to vote as a protest can end up swinging the election, which is a huge change. But an individual voter not voting has no impact on the thing they are actually trying to change, which is supposedly 'candidate quality' in this case. If you...

As someone who is pretty active in the Swiftie community, it has a huge impact. We've already seen the fundraising impact, the registration impact, the volunteer impact- it's about as impactful as an endorsement could be in 2024 given her broad support. Obviously can't guarantee the impact will...

That would be a great thing to signal if you were unhappy with both candidates, but you can signal that without letting Trump back in the White House. Throwing your vote away on a third party candidate does nothing other than completely give up the bare minimum influence a voter can have.

Definitely not trying to defend Trump, but the guy isn't smart enough/good enough with words to work something in like that. Listening to the audio of that segment during the debate it was pretty clear he was talking about a statement/interview that she 'put out' about her race.

I find even a poll with a bunch of options like this is hard to answer. Everyone defines things like 'Mainstream Democrat' or 'Right Leaning' differently. I've been pretty involved as a canvasser and organizer the past few cycles, and chatting with people about their political views has been...

The Republican party isn't really a thing anymore. It's the Trump party, as has become quite clear over the past decade. Just makes questions like this impossible to actually evaluate at face value. Are there some people who are registered Republicans who I would probably vote for over Harris...
