The coward won’t even accept a debate hosted by Fox, his safe space. He’s lost all faculties and his handlers don’t want the people to know before the election. | Anger | 0.883286 |
So were supposed to believe the guy who isnt even well enough to continue a true campaign, wont take interviews or do debates, is healthy enough to run this country for 4 years? Trump is cooked, everyone that's not a moron can see his cognitive abilities (which were not that substantial previously) have fallen off a cliff. This is a sham campaign using Trump's popularity to get a Project 2025 stooge installed as president without having to get anyone to vote for him. | Anger | 0.881204 |

He's going to be hiding from law enforcement after he loses and they start sentencing him. | Anger | 0.615027 |
I mean why would he bother speaking to journalists when they don’t hold him to account and actively sanitise the mental stuff he comes out with.
It’s entirely the fault of the media that it’s not a 20+ point gap right now | Anger | 0.865826 |
I watch the financial channels all day in the background. BNN in Canada and the US economy is the envy of the world and it's amazing more people don't realize it. | Fear | 0.345991 |

Thats enough for me!! I didnt add all her other positive qualities. Dont need to. | Anger | 0.804531 |
I say lets elect her and find out. | Anger | 0.505974 |
Yes | Fear | 0.377977 |
Yes but not nearly by enough. It's crazy that any woman would vote Republican but blows my mind that Republicans have actually increased their share of the woman vote every election since 2016.
Even after the fall of Roe, Republicans got 48% of the woman vote in 2022 Midterms. Republicans literally took away healthcare from women and half of them said, "This is fine!". | Anger | 0.463753 |
looking at this a bit more negatively (I can't help myself. i'm a Democrat), i'm more worried about young men having been activated by Vance. One of my kids is exhibit A. Mid-20s. Smart guy but firmly brought into a band of roving LIbertarians who are all Vance, all the time. If you were to somehow poll he and his friends, they'd be all in voting Trump to be able to get Vance.
We have one thing going for us though (and it's a big thing): Most of them don't vote. heck, they don't even have health insurance unless their moms (me) or a big company pay for it...getting registered to vote is not on the radar.

We'll just have to weather her accusations. | Anger | 0.682894 |
Just a few excerpts below. I've been jumping onto local (for me) weather news stations hurricane posts on FB and the MAGA conspiracy theorists are in every one of them.
Platforms need to do something to combat rampant disinformation. We're as bad as the authoritarian, socialist and communist countries we mock at this point.
>one of Trump’s first acts in office was to convene national security hands and other White House aides to ask whether China was using a “hurricane gun” to precipitate adverse weather in the United States. He also wanted to know whether America should consider bombing China in retaliation for this supposed treachery. “It was almost too stupid for words,” one former Trump official recalled.
>Trump [in 2019] floated the idea of attacking hurricanes with nuclear bombs to disperse them—a proposal that manages the rare feat of being equally demented from the standpoints of meteorology and fissile weaponry
>Robert Kennedy Jr., who declared that nefarious deep-state actors have seized control of the weather via the Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum. “They aggravate the problem, and sell us the solution,” Kennedy breathlessly announced. “The solution they want is more social controls.”
>Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene: As reeling communities in the path of Hurricane Helene started to dig out from the damage last week, Greene replied to her X account to alert her million-plus followers: “Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.” | Anger | 0.74747 |
When the population is full of people who believe whatever you tell them and there are no consequences when you're caught lying then of course there will be conspiracies spread. | Anger | 0.609 |
To save you from needing to click on a Newsweak link, it’s referring to the current 53-47 in Harris’ favor on 538, which is a decrease from a high of over 60 in her favor. | Anger | 0.60591 |
Nate Silver works for Peter Theil. Pass it on. | Anger | 0.67918 |

They have appeared likely to do so for the last 2 years - everyone has known how favorable this senate cycle is for Republicans. How is this news?!
Polling indicates we are going to have a divided Congress this upcoming term. The most interesting question is who the President will be. Because, shockingly, it is a very close race. | Fear | 0.506048 |
Imagine the shit show that will be America if Donald Trump becomes president and has the senate, house and scotus in his pocket? You can forget the American dream. It will become the American nightmare. | Anger | 0.788859 |
As usual NYT flips the optimistic story into a bad one for Dems. Like others are saying, this was always a heavy lift. And polls are doing extra heavy lifting this cycle. They are to be taken with healthy scepticism.
There's a real chance the Dems keep the Senate, that's the story. People like to talk about the uncommitted middle and undecideds. Turnout wins elections. Trump is despised. | Anger | 0.58876 |
I don’t study political violence. I’m worried about the election. | Anger | 0.62341 |
Not to say "go volunteer" given some of the stories that are coming out. But volunteering is a great way to learn about the process, and it's likely that election/polling centers are going to be a bit more stressed out than usual. | Fear | 0.440041 |
Trump is just a private citizen this time around, big difference. | Anger | 0.720106 |
I sincerely can't imagine an outcome to Nov 7 that doesn't include MAGA violence. I am very worried. | Fear | 0.47703 |
If we have Trump and a Republican Senate, we risk getting a giant crop of law nullifying ideologue judges who have 40 year careers ahead of them. | Anger | 0.850985 |
Ignore all the polls and vote. They want us discouraged and apathetic. Vote like your life depends on it. Cause it really does. | Anger | 0.775841 |

That Howard Stern interview triggered MAGA hard judging by the response to it lol | Anger | 0.694772 |
She's making the right moves. I'm still nervous, but I have nothing but praise for her campaign since it started.
One thing I wish they would do more of: About a month into the campaign, Trump lied about a bunch of stuff and the Harris campaign put out a release that refuted things succinctly line by line. I think that was super helpful and effective - and also funny at times - and I wish they would do it weekly or even daily. | Fear | 0.351636 |
Trump is so exhausting, but if he gets back into power, while most people will be trying to ignore him for 4 years, he'll put 2 more people on the Supreme Court, cementing a loyalist majority for the next 20-30 years, he'll be even more corrupt than his first time now that the Supreme Court gave him immunity, he'll sell us and our allies out, all while funneling our tax dollars to himself. | Anger | 0.585595 |
Let's hope it makes a difference! | Fear | 0.371682 |

I think this is a good move on her part. Aside from my mom, who has MSNBC on all day and night, I don't know anyone who watches traditional media. Reaching out to different audiences can cover more ground than showing up on CNN again.
Still think she should go on Hot Ones. I don't watch that show myself, but I know it is super popular. | Disgust | 0.351049 |
>While discussing Lake’s climate change denial on Wednesday night, Gallego also called her out over her election denialism.
>“She’s still in denial about climate change. We should not be surprised by this. She’s still in denial about the 2022 election. And now, I give you one minute. You have one minute. Will you finally tell the people of Arizona, did you win or lose that election?”
>“Can we, can I talk about water really quickly?” replied Lake, dodging the question. “Because I thought we were gonna do water.”
>Like Trump, Lake continues to claim she won the 2022 gubernatorial election—and two years later, is still attempting to overturn the election results. | Anger | 0.698049 |

Just look at her, how does anyone take this person seriously or want to vote for her?
She literally just implodes under absolute minimal scrutiny, and I guess the same is true for a lot of these MAGA people | Anger | 0.782515 |
Being in AZ, I find it very hard to believe voters will split ticket Trump/Gallego, with Lake being on the ballot. | Fear | 0.353808 |

She was losing to him by nearly 10 points BEFORE the primary.
I don't trust polls that much but I do start to take notice when it reaches double digits because statistically once you hit double digits, it's a good indicator that that person is in an actual real lead.
She only got the primary vote because Maga Republicans, but there aren't enough in Arizona to secure her a victory in the main race. | Fear | 0.398276 |
Shes a pathetic clown, who cant stop herself from talking over others..., shes pretty disgusting actually. | Anger | 0.839658 |

I hope we see Obama campaigning in all the swing states. He’s a powerful speaker, and he can fire up any crowd to get out and vote.
Watching him and Michelle speak at the DNC…wow. I forgot how good they were. | Disgust | 0.325506 |
On election day, All Republicans come together for hatred. Their petty little squabbles are put aside for a day in celebration of the spread of Fascism. This is in stark contrast to Democrats, who will stay home if they don't like the look of one of their candidates in a Republican doctored picture. | Anger | 0.87957 |

This is the one and only thing at which Trump excels: Division. | Anger | 0.775279 |
The Supreme Court already decided that Trump, if reelected, can commit any crime he wants, including having political rivals assassinated, which was literally an argument made during the SCOTUS hearing. | Anger | 0.818704 |
The Supreme court's entire ethos over the last 4 years has been "fuck you citizens, we did this because we can. Try and stop us".
Yeah I know it probably won't happen, but would anyone be shocked by a 6-3 decision authored by Alito that says "donald trump is the supreme leader ordained by god. He won because we said he did. Fuck you citizens, nowhere in the constitution does it guarantee the freedom to be free from donald trumps abuse". | Anger | 0.864201 |
Some of them not named Thomas or Alito might be mindful of what tends to happen to the aristocracy when the peasants are pushed too far by their corruption. | Anger | 0.815951 |
Why it should not is a better approach | Disgust | 0.412984 |
Here are my reasons
- hasn’t raped anyone
- hasn’t stated she wants to be a dictator day one
- doesn’t want to deport millions of people
- understands basic economics
- is aware Hannibal was not a real person
- global leaders don’t laugh at her. | Anger | 0.878899 |
The horse race narrative is so dishonest.

If 2.5 million Californians who voted for Biden in 2020, instead voted for Trump, Harris would still probably win the state.

*In ranch country, there’s this theory that culture is mono. We country folk do not pay attention to what is going on in this world other than the burning news of the day caramelized through our news channel of choice. Most in rural America want it to be 1954 again. Our music is of two types: country and western. We vote for the person with the “R” behind their name; my first vote was for Ronald Reagan, who, like me, wore a cowboy hat and rode horses.*

RCP who adds every junk polls they can find thinks Trump’s winning there.

"But then the big populous cities will decide all the policy for the whole country!"
How is it better that a bunch of sparsely populated rural areas decide policy for the big cities like it is right now?
Edit: the article addresses this far better than I did, and points out that it's a false premise:
> We can clearly see this by looking at where the presidential candidates are spending their money and campaign time. An NPR analysis from May showed that the two presidential candidates were spending most of their money in just a few states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. All of those rank in the top 15 states, by population, except for Wisconsin, which is 20th (meaning it’s still in the top half of states by population). **The Electoral College does not direct candidates’ campaign time and attention to small states but to big states where the race happens to be tight.**
> And that doesn’t even tell the full story in terms of the true urban-rural divide. First of all, the idea of a “rural” state is largely a myth. According to the 2020 Census, 80 percent of Americans live in “urban” areas. **In only four states—Maine, Mississippi, Vermont, and West Virginia—does a majority of the population live outside of urban areas, and nobody with a straight face would argue that the Electoral College encourages presidential candidates to spend a lot of time and resources in those places.**
In short, if the EC defended rural areas vs. urban you'd see campaigning in rural states like Maine, Mississippi, Vermont, and West Virginia. Instead all the spending is in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, which are states that aren't even particularly rural any more. The only thing that matters is that they are politically a toss-up with a large enough population to make it worth the effort to try to capture. Rural vs. urban doesn't figure into it at all. | Anger | 0.58901 |
The majority of people who defend the electoral college do it because it benefits them politically. They don't object to the tyranny of the minority because they are that minority. | Anger | 0.875903 |
