Dead Heat, huh?

This is a frigging Dead Heat:



Don’t you fucking tell me that… she’s got young people, Hispanics, women, Republicans who never voted for a Democrat in their lives, African-Americans, Jews, veterans, active military, among other significant groups. The other guy led a coup against the government, has been convicted on 34 felony counts, indicted for stealing classified documents, attempting to steal non-existent votes, curses and throws around invective like a truck driver from a bad movie, discusses penis length of a dead man who happened to be an Eisenhower Republican, shits his pants, has had affairs with many women including a porn star and a Playboy centerfold, is essentially separated from his present wife who’s had a known long-term sexual relationship with a Tiffany’s security man, is a racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, degenerate, whose academic profile is filled with fraud, who failed miserably at every business he ever attempted to manage, who grotesquely mismanaged the Pandemic, who was and is famous for not paying any bill anytime. And that’s just for starters, the advocacy for pussy-grabbing which was always preceded by consumption of a Tic Tac.

And he lost the popular vote last time by millions and millions of votes before most of the above occurred. Give me a fucking break. Even Americans aren’t that stupid. And never ever forget that by definition, half of America has a two-digit I.Q. Yeah. It does. And don’t tell me that I.Q. Is a bad measure. It’s good enough for these purposes.

“Dead Heat” my ass. Whatever this is or isn’t, it’s no “Dead Heat”. If we have any sense she’s got this in the bag. If not…well, there goes the Nation. In either event it’s not going to be a Dead Heat.

Claim lacks evidence.

No, they really are that stupid. Otherwise, Trump would have been laughed off the stage in 2015. 2020 wouldn't have come down to a tiny fraction of the vote in a few states. His approval ratings wouldn't be near three-year highs*.

There isn't much evidence that his support has dropped at all, much less precipitously. There's no evidence that they've learned anything at all or changed their opinions. People really are that stupid.

Harris's camp also insists that it's very close. I don't suspect that they're lying.

Lucky for us, we're motivated and I think that's going to make all the difference. Because it has to.

There are a sufficient number of semi-aware individuals who have had enough. I’m not buying most of these polls: it was predicted that there’d be a flood of BS polls before Election Day. Here we are.

The prevailing opinion was that GOP voters would bail on Trump in droves because of the impeachment, COVID, and a million other things that happened during his administration.

There was no exodus. 5% of them voted for Biden, about the norm for cross-over in a presidential election. 4% of Democrats voted for Trump, making it basically a wash.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/06/30/behind-bidens-2020-victory/

We simply cannot count on crossover votes. Our side must simply outvote their side. Turnout on our side is everything.

Or they are extremely misinformed, naive, unobservant, uneducated and ignorant.
All of those things. If you ever talk to a genuinely convinced Trumpie, it's a look in their eye and their tone of voice that tells you they're missing an experience on this planet.

That includes our own Dems voting for Trump because he will bring down prices. President does not bring down prices. There is something called world market and macro economics and supply and demand. If prices are very low, world must be going through an upheaval. Prices cannot be too low, gas prices cannot be 87 cents unless there is a big recession.

He will bring down democracy. That is a good assumption.

Tue Oct 22, 2024, 12:09 AM

The last president to get 54% or more of the vote was Ronald Reagan in 1984
George H.W. Bush got 53.4% and won 426 Electoral Votes in 1988
Clinton got 49.2% to Bob Dole's 40.7% in 1996. His 8.5% margin was the largest since Reagan in the last 40 years (since 1984.) Clinton won 379 Electoral Votes
Obama got 52.9% of the vote and won 365 Electoral Votes in 2008

I'd call all of those landslides.

In 2020, he also lost the electoral college. Since then, he’s only alienated more Americans.

because if we all start thinking Harris will run away with it, we'll get over confident & too many people may decide their vote "isn't needed" and use any lame excuse to not take the time to vote.

Very well said. Our favorite evil bully thinks enough voters are so stupid he can tell them in no uncertain terms that he is gonna be their modern day Adolph Hitler and wreak havoc on all their rights and these fucking dumb shits will just lay down and let him walk all over them.

They may be stupid, but not that stupid. This piece of garbage will be on his way to sentencing for the 34 felonies after Nov 5th.

I agree 100%. This afternoon, I ran into a teacher from my daughters' school. She said that she is extremmely anxious about the election. I said that VP Harris will win convincingly, by 9 million votes. She asked if I was sure? I said that at this time in 2020, I said on DU that Biden would win by 7 million.

You have captured the essence of the felo0n. More importantly, you have stated exactly why VP Harris has this. Thank you for that.

I know it's frustrating to realize that this election is a toss-up. But it is. The Harris campaign is well aware how close this race is. People expecting a blowout are going to be inconsolable on election day at this rate.

I think Harris wins. But I don't believe it'll be by more than three-points nationally and only by a few thousand votes across multiple states.

Right now, I think Harris wins 276-262.
