My son and wife were at the Greensboro event and said it was packed and high energy. Just need to bring that energy out to actually vote. Would love for NC to turn this race.

I agree completely. But if NC goes Blue on: the Presidential contest, the Governor's contest, the AG contest, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction contest, then (a) that would be a dream come true and (b) would be part of a 1984 national level ass-whooping.

And yet they would still dominate on the state level due to gerrymandering and through representation in the US House. So infuriating.
 
How is it that everything from new voter registration to funding and everything else data wise points to a Kamala win but the polls shows them as a dead heat?
I need to be talked off the ledge a little, lol.
 
I’ve generally thought Pope Francis has been a really solid pope, at least on the papacy scale, but this may be the most tone deaf, morally-compromised comment by a pope since the Medicis.


Pope Francis on Friday described the choice US voters must make in the presidential election as one between the “lesser of two evils,” deeming former President Donald Trump’s anti-migrant policies and Vice President Kamala Harris’ support of abortion rights as both being “against life.”

“One must choose the lesser of two evils. Who is the lesser of two evils? That lady or that gentleman? I don’t know,” Francis said during a press conference on the papal plane, referring to Harris and Trump. “Everyone with a conscience should think on this and do it.”

Because vote models go by what they project the electorate may look like. Given it can vary polls can struggle when there are composition shifts of a large variety.
When you get lots of new registrations impacting one party, it can shift the hell out of things and polls struggle. It's why they were so bad in 2016.



Honestly just read a lot of his insights

Nah. The presidential contest is the least like to go blue, and that's entirely possible without getting anywhere close to 1984. I mean, come on.
 
Just a quick Friday afternoon musing —

I know we can’t be overconfident, need to run through the tape, etc., but I just have a feeling MAGA reached its existential apogee sometime around May or June, is now well into its plummet cycle, and its rate of descent will only increase from now until November. We’re seeing things that were unthinkable even in the MAGA idiocracy of the last eight years. There’s literally zero chance Trump gets better or becomes a more likeable person now, and the people in his orbit, from Vance on down, are showing their true selves unapologetically and with not even a veneer of civility.

The election will be close even if I’m right. I have no doubt about that. But I am becoming a little more hopeful that if Kamala wins — and I think she will — MAGA’s future is limited. When it comes down to it, they’re losers. Nothing but losers. And losers can only stave off their demise for so long.

Just got a flyer ( i'm in NC ) Simply said "Kamala Harris and DC democrats wants to ban your Menthol Cigarettes". Didn't say anything about Trump... apparently non-profits aren't allowed to overtly advocate for one candidate over the other.
Googled around and found the background here - Conservative group plans $10 million effort to soften Harris' Black voter support

Are you Black? Do you smoke? In the past, that stuff gets targeted at an audience. But the reports have been that Trump isn't doing any targeting, probably because he doesn't have anyone competent in the campaign because who would work in that environment.

How many times have you had a feeling that MAGA reached its apogee? It's been at least several times for me. I hear what you're saying, and you're not wrong about what's happening . . . but I just don't know that your conclusion follows from the evidence provided.

Motherfuck him and John Wayne!
 
If they have reached it, and say by chance, he loses (again)....do they try to nominate him in 2028? I gotta say yes
