US Election thread - Kamala v Donald

I don't really understand why American politics has gotten so polarized and why most of the candidates are pretty poor. I think it all kicked off with Omaba though
 
Memes and soundbites and five second clips being shared in echo chambers and creating a distorted view of reality.
 
I see it locally. The best and the brightest don't bother because the masses kick the bejesus out of them on socials. So that just leaves arseholes, narcissists and sociopaths on the field.
 
I enjoy your posts when you take the time to detail your thoughts, arguments, analysis, and opinions.

When you just paste shit from x that's obviously biased shitty propaganda, I think it's unbecoming.

Well, sorry to disappoint you. Sometimes there is nothing “detailed” to say, except to laugh at the fascists.
 
He's not winning. He's lost 3 of the 4 elections where he's been on the ballot. I'd be shocked if he won. They are oversampling him in polls, and there's a 2022 Roe v Wade factor that is going to shoe. She's doing great in WI, MI and PA voter demo data. If that holds she's there.

Plus she has a good shot in NC, GA and AZ. She will take one of those. Honestly, I'm thinking it will be a Kamala blowout.

Well, that just cheered me up, 'coz I'm terrified about what I think is about to happen. Where are you seeing this data? I've seen none of it before you said this. Not doubting you, just want to read something that doesn't fill me with dread for the future of my girls...

Yeah, somewhat partisan, but data driven look at what's happening on the ground

There's a lot in these links on different things, to MI, WI, and PA voter trends, showing youth, female, and senior voting surges for democrats. It's possibly similar to 2022 when D's overperformed polls because of Roe, and also because R's (like this year) were using polls to create a fake red wave and a D dense of dread. Effectively weaponizing the polls.

This guy is good and is signaling Nevada trending R (the only state)

Voter Enthusiasm is as good tea leaves as you can find. This usually determines who wins. Except when there's an incumbent.

She's also got the "Momentum" going into this election - and my final data point? It's not real data. It's belief that most decent Americans see this fruitcake for who he is.

But, forget the polls. Not reliable.

We're gonna win mate. BUT, we still live in Texas. Allred has a good shot though. But you know, never get hopeful for D's in Texas 🙂
 
This is also a fun thing to do. It's an electoral college map you can play with so you can see how it trends.
I give her the blue walls, and I give him all the S-U-N belts states. And she still wins.


I've been using that all week, mate, and I've built myself a s/sheet to keep a close track on the Electoral College Vote numbers, too.

Yes, I'm a sad gobshite. But we already knew that...

Nothing sad at all. I think it's brilliant! Fair play. I mean it's madness the lunatic even has a chance. But in my heart of hearts, I feel Americans won't elect such an amadan. She will win, and by more than we think
 
I'm so bored by how pathetic politics is now, but why would anyone want to be US president in this atmosphere? Militias wandering about suburbs and the chance of you getting assassinated about 60/40.

Also as has been pointed out before, it's not even about politics any more. It's closer to reality TV or the x factor than an actual policy debate.
 
Don’t think Kamala is winning this - those Rust belt states are going to get Trump over the line.
 
Kamala has no chance now.

Putin is rubbing his hands together.
