One thing I hear over and over from Trump supporters is they’re voting for him because he’ll get the businesses back up and running. The one point I wish Biden had hammered again and again was: If Trump had acted more broadly and decisively from a national perspective we could have crushed the curve long ago and many more businesses would be operating again. The idea that Trump gets a pass on businesses being closed for so long when he could have done so much more to create a safer environment for them to open really bothers me.

I assume in the first line you mean Biden and I agree. Everything feels wrong, like Biden is just trying to run the ball into the middle of the line and then play zone all for the last 5 minutes of the game. Playing not to lose instead of to win.

Prevent defense prevents you from winning.

Even this random former Democratic elected official guy from NJ agrees:

fun read.

To flush out this vote, pollsters employed other tactical questions in their polls, such as: “Who do you think will win the election? Who are most of your friends and neighbors voting for? Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?” Ironically, a majority of respondents, even those affirming a vote for Biden, answered Trump for who they thought would win and who their friends and neighbors were supporting. The majority of respondents also acknowledged that they are better off today than they were four years ago.


guess this explains that tragalfar poll

I’ve realized that even if my politics aligned exactly with those of Trump I would never vote for him because he’s a despicable excuse for a human being who is intent on destroying the best things about this country just to advance his own petty interests and ego. He is a disgrace.

Nate Cohn and Nate Silver had some twitter threads the other day where they basically said the Trafalgar polls are garbage and intentionally so fwiw.

That asshat Tucker Mother F'er Carlson is going to give oxygen to the Hunter Biden rumors by interviewing his former business partner. That caught fire and fell from the sky last weeks as garbage. Fox with its finger on the scale.

SCOTUS already at work suppressing votes in a swing state (Wisconsin). While substituting their view of state voting rules for that of a local court and without irony:

In one concurring opinion, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, joined by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, wrote that federal trial judges should not alter state voting rules when an election is looming.


And ACB hasn’t even arrived yet to undo the earlier 4-4 PA ruling!

Love Trump's take on the age of the human race 18 seconds or so in.

Let’s hope that both Trump loses and the event at his hotel is disbanded because it is larger than the 50 person limit. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5 ... t-dc-hotel

These fuckers really need to go:

Amy Coney Barrett, confirmed. Happy Birthday, @HillaryClinton!

Its not enough to just take their stolen victory, they need to rub Dems noses in it too. They must be made to pay a price. I hope Jamie Harrison and Amy McGrath have that tweet plastered all over the place. Dems must come out in full force for them.

I'd like to see Biden spend a day or two in Arizona over the last week. If PA goes south for him, he can still win with MN, WI, MI and then AZ and one of NE2/ME2.

Senate Republicans just pushed through a Supreme Court justice who will help them take away Americans' health care in the middle of a pandemic.

For them, this is victory.

Vote them out.
