Just don't think Jersey is possible at all. Virginia probably very unlikely. The rest is within reach I believe.
Virginia is one of them I will be watching closely. If it goes red I feel like we will be having a much less stress inducing night than otherwise, because if VA goes red that gives Trump more wiggle room with the swing states already pulling fraud fuckery like MI and GA. I feel like its possible because Youngkin does seem to have done a good job of things and his election security work should be a benefit, if VA suddenly goes red though it becomes blatantly obvious that the influence from the fed in NoVA was tipping the scales in the past.
 
Reddit used to be something people IRL would actually use and talk about, I haven't heard it be relevant in any convo in years and the only thing I use it for now is to look up tech info or solutions from like 5-10 years ago.
Yeah even normies don't use preddit anymore. I just don't like spending all my online time in spaces where I agree with everyone else it gets boring reading my own opinions all the time. Preddit is good for scrolling for a few minutes while you're on your smoke break to see what the latest cope is. That, and watching them endlessly accuse each other of being russian bots is endlessly entertaining. Since that one post went viral after the guy asked a commenter to give him a recipe and it actually did turn out to be a bot they all try to "trick" each other with that now.
 
I've noticed that since the disastrous Fox News interview from a few weeks ago, Tim Walz has been almost totally MIA.

He's hardly even part of the national discussion in regards to the election now; a total non-entity. Dude is nothing more than a fart in the wind at this point.
Walz is scheduled to appear on The Daily Show and The View this coming week.
 
The last 24 hours has been nothing but haha drumpf shits himself jokes on Preddit they keep passing around a picture of him sitting on a couch with his suit jacket laying weirdly around him saying he's sitting on a towel. These are the people who are saving democracy.
Yeah this pic has been being spread all over peddit because OBVIOUSLY peepee poopoo:

It and other doctored or unflattering Trump pics have also been getting spammed around to various subs, and getting ungodly amounts of upvotes compared to all other posts in the subs.

Reddit is an enigma to me. The front page is plastered with upvoted pro Harris articles and the comments are filled with the most generic liberal takes.

It’s all astroturfed. I saw a reddit post praising Kamala after the Fox interview, sorted by controversial, and there were a lot of people speaking up and saying that it was a horrible interview. Mind you, all of them had between 40 and 80 upvotes, they were just controversial because whatever superPAC is plaguing reddit wanted to silence them.
I'm not going digging through archived folders, but the reason the experience of reading Reddit falls into the uncanny valley is that probably 5% of the content that hits the front page hasn't either been curated, fabricated or manipulated to be there, and that 5% is probably only there because something else is being hidden. On-topic examples include:
  • In 2016, there were leaks indicating that David Brock's orgs (ShareBlue, Correct the Record, etc) supporting HRC had paid $3-6 million to the mods in order to take control of r/Politics.
  • In 2017 or 18 a UI "glitch" caused multiple subreddits, including r/TheDonald, r/Conservative and r/SandersForPresident, among others that the Reddit admins would be ideologically opposed to, to display a sub count that was 11.6x greater than the typically displayed subcount. This impact was not site wide.
    • At the same time this was going on, ideologically "favored" subs were displaying a lower sub count.
    • Reporting a lower than real sub count is probably not defrauding advertisers, inflating a sub count almost certainly is.
  • Elgin AFB, lol https://archive.ph/OC2cg
  • COVID, Wuhan, Fauci and all related topics, lol.

Man, redditors are fucking stupid, the interview showed him sitting down on the couch, you can clearly see nobody put a towel in there.
 
So, I was on SufficientVelocity, which is the more leftist sister to SpaceBattles. Currently the big discussion is on how the media 'sanewashes' Trump, and a claimed favoritism.

So how many 'current year election terms' are there this time? Sanewashing sure is one. I think last one had more with gaslighting and dog whistle. The ones from the left are 100% projection for sure. 'Biden's not the one in decline, Trump is!'. And on and on.

Like I said earlier, it's been an observable phenomenon since 2020 that 'Trump CANNOT be sane, he CANNOT have done anything good, he CANNOT have any good points or policies' (this is how they could go from "TRUMP IS RACIST FOR TRAVEL BANS" to "TRUMP SHOULDVE TRAVEL BANNED MORE HES NOT TAKING COVID SERIOUSLY" in 0.5 seconds flat) or else the people that go on unhinged tantrums and suffer from extreme TDS will have to confront reality;

That they were some combination of brainwashed by the media, they were extremely gullible, they were extremely dumb, or they were misled by those they trust.

They cannot afford to let Trump be sane or right about anything or they will have insane regret and ego death over the time and effort they've put into screaming bloody murder about how he's Hitler 2.0

There was also a period where /r/The_Donald would routinely get on /r/all, so the admins tried to suppress it but fucked up and /r/all turned into 100% /r/The_Donald for a bit. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016...over-reddit-front-page-after-algorithm-error/ (archive)

I'd like to think in my various lines of work I learned how to empathize and figure out how other people are thinking no matter how different, but sincerely can't even imagine the mental state required to live in such an absolute opposite's day reality 24/7 and never feel bad or doubtful about it even once.

The media downplays fascists?
The same media that likes to bang the drum that everyone is a nazi/white supremacy is on the rise?
The same media screaming about MUH DEMOCRACY anytime anyone wants to actually participate in it?
The same media that says putler must be stopped at all costs down to the last ukranian/american tax dollar?
The same media that literally word for word said that Trump was using the language of hitler?

These idiots also must think that showing trump speak without having someone talk over it or deboonked every sentence is "favorable coverage" since they also can't fathom someone hearing two people speak and saying of their own accord, no comment track, no record correction. "One of these sounds more competent."

That and the "It's all nonsense it doesn't make sense" rigamarole is more often than not just a form of a recent-ish trend of typically zoomer aged social media crybully gaslighting. It's literally just playing dumb like a playground child and making you waste your time or making you think you said something dumb or disagreeable by stating to an audience that they don't get it or don't understand even though they perfectly damn well do.

At it's most charitable it's to invoke presumed self innocence like when there's a heckin' problematic stone toss comic and you don't want people to think that you instantly made a racist connection so you're a pure innocent babe in the woods who just doesn't get it!
At it's least it's them having no argument and trying to just call yours too stupid or poorly worded to even dignify.
And at it's worst and optimistically rarest case it's someone who is genuinely actually that fucking retarded.

TL;DR Whenever a terminally online idiot says "What is this even meant to convey 😭" or some variation. It's just their attempt at putting the dumb wojak mask on you as they try to hide their own crying angry face.
 
Is this the Joy™ I've been hearing so much about?

Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini

Amerika machen velikoy di nuovo!

Please somebody turn this into a repeating gif. Just scrubbing back and forth showing how she got into politics I can tell it will be hilarious.
Edit: nevermind did it myself.

"Oh! It's so STRONG!"

Not sure if showing burning dollars is conveying the strength they think it shows.

WRONG! You're HIV positive!

They missed a joke there. It should have gone:

"I've got AIDS!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm HIV positive!"

Captain Planet was woke from the word go. We just didn't have a word for it back then

Yes we did, politically correct. Even cultural marxist, although I either hadn't heard that back then or didn't know what it meant so it just went over my head.

one of the funny parts is seeing how old people used to look in their 20s. Will Ferrell in that clip is about the same age as Pete Davidson is in Bupkis, or Andy Samberg in HotRod, where they're both manchild but look closer to actual teenagers. Joe Kerry from Stranger Things was also the same age in Free Guy. the host of the tortoise sketch SNL did recently is also the same age as Will Ferrell was in that clip. . In general people used to look way fucking older a long time ago.

the babyfaceification of society is a neat trend to study, he looked older there than actual old men in their 40s do today.

This is Will Ferrell's audition tape for Saturday Night Live. He was 27 at most when he made it. (He was still 27 when he joined SNL and turned 28 that year.) He looks older than me and I'm almost 50!



Can we talk about Freakazoid?

I love Freakazoid! Awesome cartoon.

the AIDS episode where the villain tries giving kids aids via making them worried about getting it from the kid that has it is always gonna be the funniest shit since that's like the go to way to NOT get it. HOWEVER, because they tried doing anti bullying on top of AIDS awareness it results in that schizo logic.

Did you notice that the only children who got AIDS in the 80s and 90s (don't hear about it now really) seemed to be boys? It makes me wonder whether they were all actually raped by faggots and things like "contaminated blood transfusions" were just cover stories. 🤔

Bill Maher's gay show realizing with the 4 gays on the show that you can't be mean to men and just let it happen in perpetuity. But they just say things so generic nothing is reached.

"Left-wing ideology is attacking men and causing them to turn right-wing and vote for Trump. How do we stop men turning right-wing and get them to vote for Kamala and more left-wing ideology instead? 🤔" :really:
