2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
That means that Poly probably shows Harris as favored if you take out some of the Trump whales:
Defending against perceived sexism and attacks on someone's physical appearance is important, and liking the person who is being attacked isn’t a requirement to uphold this. Attempting to rephrase this as you defending the character of these people is a way to distract from the sexism and personal attacks and put the guilt back on you. It’s extremely frustrating, but a common tactic in this sub.
I've made it quite clear that my comments had nothing to do with Liz Cheney's legislative record. And I've been consistent over the years on this sort of thing, regardless of the party affiliation of the politician. I don't feel guilty.
Politico: Harris campaign: Late-deciding voters are ‘breaking by double digits’ for the VP
Kamala Harris’ campaign is feeling good about their chances with voters who are only now making up their minds about who to cast their ballots for.
Harris campaign manager David Plouffe wrote Friday afternoon on X that late-deciding voters are “breaking by double digits” for the vice president, with “the remaining undecideds looking more friendly” to them than Donald Trump. His comments echo those shared by senior campaign officials earlier Friday on a call with reporters.
Politico: House Democrats highlight voter registration edge in battleground districts
House Democrats are touting a voter registration edge in battleground districts heading into Election Day.
Among 66 purple districts identified by the DCCC, more than 1.4 million people registered to vote between July and September, according to the party campaign arm, of which 376,000 were Democrats, outpacing the 304,871 Republican registrations. It was equal to the total number of people who registered in the previous six months in those districts (though we would expect voter registrations to pick up as we got closer to Election Day).
668,000 women, younger women in particular, registered in the battleground districts during the same timeframe, and in July alone, women were 52.1% of new registrations. The DCCC said that more women registered compared to men in competitive districts like Pennsylvania’s 10th and 7th, New York’s 22nd, and Iowa’s 1st Congressional.
BGP, Liz cheney gambled going all in against Trump after Jan 6 under the possibility that Jan 6 meant his (trump) end, to then come out from the post trump ashes as one of the leader of GOP.
After Trump didn't disappear from the scene she was 100% burnt and with 0 hopes possible staying within the goo so she did the only rational thing, double up against him write a book and try to cash in from the anti-Trump center right niche.
It was political calculus (and later "I have to pay the bills and ret
You are partly right and partly wrong. I think the calculation for people like Cheney and Romney was pretty obvious. They are not Democrats. They don't like Democratic policies. But they view Trumpism as a long-term cancer for the GOP. They decided to oppose him. They knew that, if they succeeded, they would be well-positioned to lead the reboot of the GOP. They also knew that they effectively would be committing political suicide if they failed. They were willing to take the risk because they didn't really want to continue in Congressional leadership if the price was kissing the ring.
That sort of calculus doesn't make them profiles in courage, but it does make them less craven than the Lindsey Grahams of the world.
PB, I will bet you. I don’t need you to PM me cuz I don’t want any outlet for you to directly communicate with me and I don’t take you off ignore cuz I ****ing hate you cuz you’re a despicable POS. But I’ll read your posts long enough to tell me what the terms of your bet is
My guy, what am I gonna do with you :(
many trump supporters and maga are just plain dumb not realizing the disconnect of trump actions and narratives.
that is the problem.
i mean seriously how someone believe voting for trump is voting for freedom when trump has many fascist/authoritarian rhetoric and envy/compliments many dictators in the world while rejecting or fighting with many historical allies when they disagree with him ?
theocracy, authoritarian and all other $h!t like that that maga likes are not models of freedom...far from
the thing is i worked in the south with 20-24 age rane of females/women and the dozen or so i had to interact with were completely pro life and i discussed pro choice it was taboo for them

I'm not interested in gambling on the election, and I haven't and don't intend to PM you but seriously we're heading into the biggest election in over 200 years there are much more important issues going on. I'll have d2 relay the msg.

You won't "have" me do ****, but consider it relayed by virtue of this quote.
As a personal aside, I don't for a second doubt that you have much more important issues than gambling going on.

Thank you for showing that you are absolutely, unwavering and unequivocally a bullshit artist trying to provoke people using things you yourself have no confidence in but lolololololol i trol u and literally not a god damn thing else
anything anyone wants to do to either punish this crap or at least let me continue to mock this bile without punishment would be appreciated
I’m unfamiliar with containment threads or playboys history in them.
No indictment against you, but if I’m going to be infracted for things I’m baited into just so my posts can be reported I would at least think it’s fair to know who my accuser is
Nobody accused you, I read your post and made a judgment. The idea of being baited is proportionate to your proclivity to react.
They can be happy, but lol at pretending it's about "moral character" or anything else. If they helped the democratic party lying 24/7 they would be praised as heroes anyway, like the Lincoln project is.
There is nothing about the "good of the country" at any step in the mind of any of the participants. She thinks she can personally gain more doing that , than doing otherwise.
Stop.
Pretending.
Any single politician is anything but a fully selfish rational individual who would slith your throat whi
Not pretending anything. It's exactly what I said. Exactly.

Lol wut..
Apple stock would be way less if you took out some of the whales.

That’s fine But that ain’t the problem .
The problem after that is coming out with that mentality and believe they are for freedom …
Ah yes the old Republican ideology : I’m a defender for freedom but only if it’s a freedom I like and only given to a republican ….
Pro life is a belief system and they want to use an authoritarian government to impose on those who do not share their beliefs while they claim they are freedom fighter and democrats are anti freedom .
Just makes no sense …
I never said it was just Polymarket. The discussion and the article had to do with Polymarket.
Yet the emergence of the Trump whale exposes the limits of today’s prediction markets: Even though volumes have surged on Polymarket this year, it is still small enough for one wealthy, opinionated individual to push prices around with a multimillion-dollar bet.
Positively surreal to see the media and most Democrats defending the Cheneys.
Do real liberals even exist anymore?
Sometimes it seems like voters are flocking away from liberalism towards Kamala Harris for some unknown reason.
Do AOC and Bernie supporters vote Democrat? Of course they do. Their support for "controlling dems" as you put it has the gravitational effect of pulling policy towards their more extreme left position. But to think the Democrat or Republican parties have done anything but shift left in the past say, 50+ years, is ridiculous. Both parties have shifted and are shifting more and more to the left. This is almost entirely to do with oversocialization fueled by urbanization and now, like liquid crack
Very typical. yawn.
We were looking for the liberals but it turns out the search was easy. It was almost everyone.
