If we decriminalize weed and retroactively pardon all of the people incarcerated for possession we should have enough jail cells for all the traitors. | Anger | 0.879815 |
> Nearly half of Americans (49%) agree that there is a real danger that Trump will use the presidency to become a dictator, compared to only 28% who hold similar concerns about Harris. | Anger | 0.614755 |
That doesn't exactly sound democratic to me...

There is a reason Republicans keep saying "the U.S. is not a democracy, it is a republic". If you are going to try to take something away from people, the first step is to convince them that it wasn't really there in the first place.

Days after Trump won the Iowa GOP caucus, white supremacist leader Nick Fuentes spoke out about his loyalty to Trump — while giving a Nazi salute and discussing his willingness to commit extrajudicial violence for “Supreme Leader Trump.”

The predictions about how the Antichrist would be able to manipulate Christians into going along with him were surprisingly accurate. | Anger | 0.46162 |
I'm actually surprised it's that low, but I'm happy about it. Roughly 70M voted for Trump in 2020, so 14,000,000 people.
But there's like 333,000,000 Americans, so that's only 4% of all Americans.
4% of Americans are traitors, racists or just morons? Yeah that's believable. | Anger | 0.74885 |

> At the time, the US housing market was in disarray and Americans were defaulting on their mortgages and falling victim to foreclosure at extremely high rates.
>In the fall of 2011, Harris walked away from the negotiations, claiming the proposed settlement was “inadequate for California homeowners.”
>In her book, Harris recounts how she decided to speak directly to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon over the phone about the negotiations, a conversation that turned heated. The national agreement was finalized just weeks later.
>The episode became a career-defining moment for Harris. A press release her office issued at the time said that before she had left the talks, California was expected to receive just $4 billion from the national settlement.
California went on to receive *$20 billion*. She's such a badass, she said "fuck this I'm out", got on the phone with the JP Morgan Chase CEO and told him what's what, then a few weeks later got 5x what was initially offered.
So proud to be voting for her. | Anger | 0.701479 |
lol. Trump needs a real billionaire to pay for votes. | Anger | 0.864431 |
>Today, it’s not clear that any legal opening is even necessary, thanks to the Supreme Court’s recent [decision](https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2024/10/us-military-must-prepare-second-trump-presidency/400006/) to grant the U.S. president immunity from criminal acts in the conduct of official duties. “It’s almost impossible to conceive of any presidential use of the military as unofficial or private business,” National Defense University professor Gregory Foster wrote in a recent [op-ed](https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2024/10/us-military-must-prepare-second-trump-presidency/400006/).
Ah, just another perfectly normal discussion we're having as the election approaches /s | Fear | 0.488167 |
I am nothing short of flabbergasted that these outlets are still writing articles as if this is Trump’s first run.
He was in office - the military STRONGLY rejected him.
There’s no guessing here. He sucked. We all know it. | Anger | 0.688906 |
No, it’s not. They ignored his mental illness for eight years, and now want to clarify he’s nuts in the last two weeks…that way they can point to their good work as “journalists”. | Anger | 0.72968 |
The media has created this monster that is consuming America. He's no different today than he was in 2015. They need him because he helps them make money. | Anger | 0.757931 |
Just in time for it to not matter | Fear | 0.406193 |
The media is taking the path of maximum profits/engagement. They waited until it was more profitable to flip the script and attack Trump.
Silver lining - undecided/swing voters have short attention spans so these attacks so close to the election will be fresher and should help them vote against Trump.
Also, as an aside, I love how this photo shows just how tiny his hands are. | Anger | 0.444657 |
Until its being blasted on Fox, Newsmax, and the rightwing rags, its meaningless. | Anger | 0.84642 |

The media would be so gleeful for a second Trump term. CNN is still like 1/28th the audience of Joe Rogan. All that's left of legacy media is clickbait for social media. | Anger | 0.738007 |
A shitty game show convinced his voters that he was a successful businessman. After several failed businesses (including a casino in Atlantic City) and bankruptcies, he was put on tv by a tv executive that has since come out apologizing for creating trumps persona. | Anger | 0.833616 |

1) not really 2) too late 3) fuck you media for ignoring this and putting us in this place | Anger | 0.880207 |
Honestly, I don't think it matters. He wouldn't lose a point if he were a drooling vegetable running down the street with no pants on.
The fact that 538 still has him winning at 52% is something else. | Anger | 0.73679 |
Too bad millions of people are already voting. | Fear | 0.40791 |
It's gotten hard to sanewash his batshit weave speeches | Anger | 0.825839 |
Speaking to the poll aggregators: last week PA was tightened up on silver bulletin. The highest weighted poll was like +5 Kamala. 2nd and 3rd weighted polls were even. So PA......was downgraded in the spread to being more even because 2 polls weighted slightly less tham the top result had a bigger impact on the average.
That poll, in the crosstabs, basically ignored Philadelphia. Like 1000 LV responses, and 16 from Philly....which is NOT a good poll.
And that aggregator owner has interest in political betting Polymarket iirc.
And betting markets swung to Trump recently.....except there's no discernible reason for it, and the big shift apparently is from one whale better that dumped 30 million in crytpo.
Right wing money is putting out junk to fake momentum shift in an attempt to actualize it. | Anger | 0.631594 |
I’m not at all a poll truther. I’m sure there’s some merit to what’s being asked here. But for the most part I’m always conscious of margins of error and pretty much all any the polling can tell is that the swing states are gonna be close/within 3 or 4 points.
The one thing giving me pause and making me think polls are (hopefully) incorrectly weighing in favor of Trump is that the national popular vote polls are so close. Any time I see a poll with Harris winning the national popular vote by 2 or less, I’m skeptical. This sort of assumes that millions of votes in heavily populated blue states like CA and NY are switching and it doesn’t make any sense. | Fear | 0.48922 |
I suspect the bigger play here is so that Trump can cite his high polling as evidence that the election was stolen if he loses.
So basically, yes. | Anger | 0.748925 |
What? Sure a couple of right-wing pollsters isn't going to effect the averages much. But when you have 10 wing nuts putting out polls vs 1 non-partisan poll of course it's going make a difference. We have had a lot less of the non partisan polls than we did 4 years ago | Anger | 0.519485 |
I still scratch my head why rasmussen is given any credence. They're a for profit college that produces toilet paper degrees. This has been known for decades. Is anyone surprised that a predatory entity, that scams people who don't know any better, produces polling results that favor the party that would allow them to continue to con people into spending ungodly amounts of money for the worst education they could possibly receive since ITT technical institute closed? | Anger | 0.882678 |
This game has been played for several election cycles already. Pollsters think they are adjusting for it, but aren’t entirely successful. | Fear | 0.481247 |
You don't have to concoct a conspiracy theory to think that the pollsters, who like all humans really hate being wrong in public, is keeping things tight because there have been two lessons over the last few years--- Trump beats his polling and it's a 50/50 electorate. It'd be really easy to let those two 'facts' end up strongly influencing the results. | Anger | 0.84243 |
It's so fucking obvious that they are, but if it motivates dems to vote, there's nothing wrong with it. Until the ignorant fucksticks with their hopes for dear leader get dashed and they try to set the world on fire. | Anger | 0.835276 |
Yes they have after foreign money is dumped into it to create a false narrative right wing papers can quote. Imagine you are listening to betting markets without any controls on who bets. | Anger | 0.883028 |
Well, sorry I won't be sorry to see everyone who bet on Trump take a big L. | Anger | 0.524034 |
The betting markets were wrong about who would control the Senate in 2022. They're not exactly Nostradamus.
If we're putting faith in prognosticators, what about the "13 keys" guy? He's only been wrong once (and that's only if you believe Gore truly lost in 2000) and he's predicted Harris will win. So are the prognosticators right or wrong? Or only the prognosticators that are predicting the result you want?
The truth is nobody really knows which candidate is going to win until the votes are counted. | Anger | 0.851627 |
A fun bit of polling data for everybody which makes this betting market seem foolish.
In Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania Trump has been slowly bleeding support among non-college whites.
He had a 25 point advantage in 2016, 22 points in 2020, and is now polling at a 19 point advantage in 2024.
Focusing just on Michigan, Non-college whites make up 51% of the voting population.
What this means is that between 2020 and 2024, Trump has lost 1.5% of the vote to Harris that he had in 2020, an election he lost to Joe Biden by 2.78 percentage points. | Anger | 0.498608 |
Don't bet; VOTE! | Anger | 0.377391 |
Oh my god, the betting odds for Trump were swung by a quartet of whale accounts (not necessarily people: *accounts*) dumping millions on Trump. | Anger | 0.84052 |
Imagine losing and losing all that money. | Anger | 0.715968 |
>Cheney's carefully tailored words set up a contrast to Harris, who spoke at the same event more forcefully in favor of access to abortion. “Reproductive health work is vast, it is not only about abortion, it is about **a whole array of care**,” Harris said. “I feel very strongly the government should not be telling any woman what to do with her body.”
It was never just about abortion. Abortion was their foot in the door. And now that it's there, that foot's going to step all over woman's rights. More that just bodily autonomy. More than just basic health care. Many in the far right see the *Dobbs* decision was one of many cases that will fall in their favor. Some want to end LGBT rights, marriage to start. Then interracial marriages. Then a women's right to vote.
Cheney sees the writing on the wall. She's out of the clubhouse now. But she took notes. On this, we should listen to her. | Anger | 0.767588 |
