Some people think that voting is some big moral act. They need to get over themselves and learn a little bit about getting and keeping power.
You guys all harp on 2022 because you know disaster is around the corner.
But at least you can say "I told you so about 2022" until then!
Polling favors people who respond to polls, and fervent people want their voice heard.My going theory at this point is the people who may be somewhat unhappy with Biden but dislike Trump aren't going to spend 15 minutes answering polls so we are ending up with samples that are somewhat more pro-Trump than the actual universe of voters. With Trump increasingly out there and having had a lot of primaries this could shift and Trump dislikers could become Trump haters who actually answer. Given the nearly across the board Trump underperformance in the primaries vs the polling virtually everywhere this seems plausible. Anyway polling this far out, especially state polling, is quite noisy and should probably just be viewed via averages and trends. Even then I wouldn't be taking it to the bank.
Gotta love that thin blue line flag in the background there...Look at the activism!View attachment 96364
Historically speaking, when have you ever been right about disaster being around the corner?
Wonder how large a meteor would have to be to take out Mar A Lago without totally wiping out Florida?I'll take the Impending Meteor Strike for 200 Alex!

They can burn up and produce an air blast large enough to flatten a city.250meters so it doesn't all burn up on the way down?
Well the Tunguska Event was supposedly caused by a meteor about 150 feet wide and that flattened nearly 1,000 square miles. Soooooo.... probably something considerably smaller than that.250meters so it doesn't all burn up on the way down?
You mean the "Get over yourself" comment? I saw Steven A Smith say "How did that work out in 2016"Yup Hillary’s quote from the other night needs to be constantly repeated.
Funny how people claim to want politicians to be blunt and honest with them, but then when those politicians are honest, the populous screams "not like that" and "likeability" (the latter seems to come out especially when a woman says those honest things).You mean the "Get over yourself" comment?

Some people that are perhaps too online don't understand power and the idea of being a "gettable" and reliable voter. If you threaten to withhold your vote (and are a generally unreliable voter) over everything, eventually people stop listening to you, because those positions can never be satisfied. But also, if you want to enact change, you need sympathetic ears in power. Helping to get the better candidate to place second in our system (ie, first loser) only ensures that your positions get locked out, and for a time, you can only scream from the outside as some "morally pure" activist.

I would think the chance of Trump winning while Democrats take the House when it is extremely gerrymandered against them is highly unlikely.Happy to admit when I'm wrong, and I was definitely wrong back then.
But this is my gut feeling/prediction moving forward: it will be close but Trump wins in November. Just like 2016 and 2020, it will be a relatively small number of votes across various swing states that make the difference. The actual states, I'm not sure, but you know the usual suspects.
I think Dems flip the house but GOP narrowly takes the Senate. WV, Ohio and Montana Senate spots guaranteed to go red as is, so that's probably enough right there to seal the deal.
People want Republicans to be blunt. They want Democrats to be the opposite of whatever the Democrats are currently doing. Then when a Democrat does what they claim they want Democrats to do, they just start claiming they want the opposite of that.Funny how people claim to want politicians to be blunt and honest with them, but then when those politicians are honest, the populous screams "not like that" and "likeability" (the latter seems to come out especially when a woman says those honest things).
I sincerely hope Biden means it this time. What was the news earlier this week, "your purchase order for F15s and MK-84s has been approved"? No wonder people are angry when our actions don't match our words.Okay that’s good news. At least their overinflated ego didn’t win out unlike RFK Jr and Jill Stein
And with Biden’s talk with Netanyahu since the aid workers killed, he pressed that Israel has to make a change or the US will do something.

Read the article I linked recently.A disaster is around the corner? 7 months until the election, is an enternity, when it comes to politics. So much can change between now and then.
The person who wrote that article is either very dumb or very naive. It fed your diaper filling narrative though so you didn’t think twice about it.Read the article I linked recently.
