I happen to live in a Republican controlled district in one of the swing states. The people who are enthusiastic about Trump are extremely enthusiastic. As in, flying Trump-Vance flags in their truck down a major thoroughfare.

And, the Muslim population here may very well not be bluffing and vote for Trump instead of Harris - or simply not vote at all. The Israel-Gaza issue is HUGE here.

Unless our major city pulls through for us, Trump will win our state.

The odds are also stacked against Harris based on how electoral votes are counted. If you ask me who I think will win the popular vote, I think Harris will win. It’s just that the game is so stacked, and Republican controlled regions are, well, making it hard to vote.

Did I mention SCOTUS is not impartial?

I mean, I played competitive LCG before. I completely understand that it’s possible. I have definitely taken and lost on a 60% chance. It’s just not a risk I would take.

And I maintain that he was wrong. I don’t think it was a 70% chance. By the time I got back from voting, he had revised it closer to 55-60%. That seems more accurate to me. I think he underestimated Trump.

I do. At 60%, it’s drawing 3/5 cards. I wouldn’t take that chance. At 70%, it’s 3/4. There’s always a chance of the 1/4, sure. But I expect it to happen.

That’s part of why I’m so uncomfortable right now. I wouldn’t take a coin flip.

I think he was wrong. I think he underestimated Trump. I don’t think it was 70/30.

Absolutely not

I don’t screw them in unless it’s in a confined location where the cable is applying pressure to unseat, or if it’s fallen off at least once

AOC fell off. From among us to madden? Come on

Man I thought Johnson was a traditional crazy religious right guy. He at least seems like he cares about the country, at least in his own twisted view. Too bad he’s a Trumper

Midterms tend to favor the opposing party

I do, I have yet to switch to Wayland

I don’t know much about Peltz but I kind of agree that you don’t NEED to have all black or all women cast. The art should dictate it. But on the flip side, having an all black or all women cast isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Representation in media may not matter to some, but it can make a big impact on others.

Furthermore, most of Africa is black. What were you expecting out of Black Panther????

Anyone want to start a petition to cancel their Costco membership if they capitulate?

I agree with Trump. Ever since the first European settlers came to the North America, the area has been in heavy decline. From polluting rivers to the point where they could be lit on fire, to the last president who was a fascist.

USB-C is the physical form. Does it actually dictate USB3?

  1. Treat every gun as if is loaded

  2. Never point your gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy

  3. Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot

  4. Be aware of your target and what’s beyond it

Mate, I am a conservative independent who doesn’t like Biden. But please vote for Biden. There is a different between a bad but competent president (Biden) and someone who frequently undermines American institutions (Trump).

Accountability should be a conservative view, but things are so skewed right now that it’s seen as liberal or far left.

If there was ANYONE else viable, we could talk about getting someone viable. But right now it’s clear that there isn’t.

It’s very important to vote for the better candidate while simultaneously making moves to better the system overall.

How bad is your registration system if you allowed 6500 noncitizens onto your voter roles? I’m not sure you should be boasting

Ah, yes. A little rape here, a little treason there….

What’s not to love about America?

Besides, if it’s an official act, you’re immune to prosecution!

AOC strikes me as someone who sees the game as is. She won’t endorse anyone but Democratic nominee, presumptive or otherwise.

I still can’t fathom how he became president. He acts like a toddler

That’s amazing. The bullet that struck the victim was not the cause of death, but the bullet before?

So if an LAPD officer goes to raid someone’s home, and a gangster kills a bystander, the officer is responsible? If he hadn’t gone out for the raid, the gangster would not have fired the weapon?

Wait but if the officers in Taylor’ case didn’t show up to the door, her boyfriend wouldn’t have fired the bullet. So it’s the police fault

Thank you, Rep. Gaetz, for the opportunity to see the GOP in a lose-lose situation.

What a coincidence we all just moved to the EU

He did last a term in a public facing job - the Presidency. His term review came in and looks like he was fired for bad performance

Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you.

Biden: I can support Israel’s killing of people in Gaza Trump: I will deport anyone that supports Palestine

Arbitration has its place in B2B contracts.

With consumers or employees? Absolutely not

Just like you exercised your free speech to give Trump's PAC a gratuity of $45 million, advertisers exercised their free speech by not spending it on twitter.

Aren't you a free speech absolutist? Why are you trying to force advertisers to exercise their free speech on your platform?

No it’s not bribery. He changed his stance for Musk’s endorsement. Musk then exercised his free speech into a Trump PAC. There was no coordination. Besides, even if there was coordination, it was a just a gratuity after the service!

Yes, Trump is winning. Vote on that assumption.
