If those numbers are true and honest and hold through election day Trump will win comfortably in those 7 swing states, in the electoral college, and will outdo his previous popular vote percentages by 2-3 points (get up to 48-49% of the popular vote)
I don't like to focus on the popular vote too much for the very reasons that necessitate an electoral college. You'd have the will of entire states overridden by major population centers within each state and entire elections would be decided by a select few major population centers that would effectively disenfranchise large sections of the country.

Why would anyone want a system where only major cities are afforded any discussion as it relates to deciding what political party gets to run the branch of government charged with enforcing federal law? The electoral college forces candidates to win the appeal of people who would otherwise be entirely overlooked and at that point, do you really even have a fair election?
 
And allegedly Trump is up 48-47 cumulatively in early voting in the 7 swing states (WI-MI-PA-AZ-NV-GA-NC)
I know for a fact that AZ doesn't release early ballot totals until after in person voting is complete by law. This was exhaustively discussed in 2020 because people couldn't understand why vote counts changed so rapidly a couple hours after in person voting ended and assumed "Fraud". Which even after the law was brought out in the open and explained, didn't manage to make much of a difference.

I don't know how anyone would be able to make the claim NOW that Trump or Harris is up in AZ early voting when those totals aren't disclosed. I'm sure there's a similar clause in the other states that have already mailed out ballots.

Popular vote is irrelevant legally but Trump winning the popular vote would show that he has an undeniable mandate and cut off another potential avenue of attack. You shouldn’t be campaigning to win the popular vote but if you have it it’s absolutely a boon.

My thoughts exactly. Kinda goes into my understanding of why CNN has been less shitty in their trump coverage, if only because they've seen polls and know which way the wind is blowing. Him getting the popular vote def. Seems like a possibility. I think he'll have significantly more votes than 2020 and Kamala dramatically less.

I think I heard that in 2016 he turned like 9 million former Democrat voters, 2020 11 mill, even with all that endless media machine against him. Imagine what a less browbeaten public that's also been suffering 4 years under Biden will lead to.

the popular vote is important because otherwise your competition claims you only won via technicalities and you don't really represent the will of the people

that argument only works on low information voters who don't understand why the system is set up the way that it is. unfortunately that's the majority of voters

it's only a symbolic win, but it's still an important win

Fani Willis is the District Attorney of Fulton County

Nathan Wade is an ex-Special Counsel to Fulton County District Attorney's Office

Is she allowed to demand it? They aren't married (lol) so why would she care ?
 
Even his pfp glows. (And his join date is rather interesting)
What about an adventure time character is glowy? Lmao yall too paranoid in here. Someone comes in with slightly differing opinions and it must be a bot or glowie.

And yeah I joined up right after the Trump "had his ear blown off" because the rest of the internet was insufferable and this place feels less astroturfed than anything on reddit/4chat

Adventure time is enjoyed by redditors and homosexuals.
Glowies are homosexuals

Qod errat demonstrandum.

Results can't be released, but you can report the number of ballots requested and returned, and use voter registration to build a model for what the results will be. Similar to exit polling on election night.

At least that's how NBC is doing it.

I'd take their numbers with a grain of salt though, as they're using TargetSmart as a data provider.

We’re a full-service data solutions company dedicated to helping progressive causes and campaigns win. Since 2004, we’ve been building the industry’s best voter database and innovating new ways to use data to bring about a better world.
 
This spooked me enough to even post about it on here, but I’m at work at the moment and I saw at least 10 Mexicans, probably more, just walking around the store. I mean so many that I saw more Mexicans than Americans, and heard much more Spanish being spoken than English. I mean really, you can’t even have the decency to speak English in my fucking country? That’s unless they can’t, which means they’re illegals, which was pretty obvious. I hope anyone who called for these fuckers to be let in gets hung for treason.
The English language unity act 2021 would've made English the official language but it died in committe. multiple previous attempts to make English the official language have died as well. the GOPe isn't into it surprise, surprise.

 
i've been getting a bunch of SNL shit algorithmically delivered to me and it's really shocking how low quality and unfunny it is, even the stuff that people talk about as being the best. the chris farley and norm mcdonald skits i remember being funny were generally funny but like... at the expense of the show? when the best parts of your show are the parts that make fun of the writers, im not sure the show is even good.

the last time i paid attention to SNL was when the lonely island was on when i was a teenager and it's legitimately shocking how little cultural cache they ever had. the lonely island and SNL are obsessed with self-mythologizing and while all of that constant knob slobbering about how amazing and funny they are might convince stupid people that they're amazing and funny, the real test of it is how people remember you unprompted and i guarantee nobody is thinking about andy samberg unless its about how much he sucks
The only reason SNL is even still a thing, is because boomers watch it to remember how it used to be funny back when they could sport an erection.

Viewer numbers has to be shit, but then again, nobody watches TV anymore, so even shows with low ratings are comparatively doing alright.

Michael Che and Colin Jost are at least funny.

You ain't wrong. But I don't wanna vote trump or Kamala and rfk took a knee to kiss daddy trumps feet so I'm gonna throw my worthless blue state vote at Jill.

The Dems are starting to post attack ads about her in swing states and AOC publicly calling her out as a bad party candidate. Seems like theyre scared of her taking away votes from Kamala.
 
Internationalism is anti-Americanism
I’ve heard the argument before, that America is actually safer because it blows close to a trillion dollar on the military every year, but I refuse to believe that anyone who isn’t retarded actually BELIEVES it.

Like who would invade America? A giant Chinese fleet of fishing boats? Canada? A Spanish armada?

The MIC always existed to make its owners and operators rich. Safety for America isn’t even on there as a priority.
