Tbf it stepped on a Lego.

It’s not reasonable to vote for the party that is burning children alive, you fucking mutant.

Wow it’s crazy that one of the dumbest people on the planet is smart enough to understand that race isn’t always a salient issue.

it may have the Princeton Consortium guy. i think he said he’d literally eat his shoes, or a pile of bugs or something if he lost – i’m sure he at least ate rhetorical crow and had to follow up with a mea culpa post.

love your posts/POV, but disagree strongly.

The Dems are not becoming/ cannot become Republicans. if fusionist republican orthodoxy was sufficient to win, the GOP would still be doing it; Paul Ryan would be in his second term as president. it’s not, you need some popular juice, because only appealing to the donors is not sufficient. and yet, the Trumpist, pseduo-populist GOP still promises corporate/capital gains tax cuts; it will still be for exporting war and imperialism and deregulation of industry and markets, and there’s no way it loses fully the donor class, which itself has different interests and constituents.

the current harris attempt at triangulation only works, if it actually does, because Trump has unique weaknesses – attempting to foment a constitutional crisis, instead of peacefully transferring power, and pissing off, in a personal way, prior GOP powerbases. harris can attempt to appeal to the Never Trumpers to squeak over this electoral line, but that won’t be a viable long-term strategy: the WSJ readers will uniformly return to the GOP.

if anyone is cooked, its these waffling dems. the Obama coalition is collapsing in real time: the demographic inevitability/ ascendency thesis is no more, as the dems are hemorrhaging support from non-whites. woke-capitalist/imperialist rhetoric will not be enough after Trump: if the dems can’t provide material support to the non-college educated, many will be drawn to the inclusive, non-PMC-inflected cultural posture of the Trumpists.

no. Hillary faceplanting was embarrassing because of how unexpected it was; it’s understood that Kamala very well may lose, there’s just no way it can be embarrassing to the same degree.

disengaging!

I thought the humiliation of 2016 should have made him crawl under a rock to hide forever

Huh? Silver was literally the only “serious” prognosticator who forecasted a possible upset; everyone else thought it was a no contest (Princeton gave it like a 99.5% “Bayesian” prediction for Hillary).
