BTW this is her first appearance for 2 days after spending 3 days prepping for an interview she bombed that was shown once on that channel because it was so bad.
At this point, one has to wonder if she's just completely fucking done behind the scenes, quietly telling her campaign to coast it in while she drinks herself into the abyss.

She was never even close to ready for the rigors of a campaign.
 
I dont how to feel right now friends. We are two weeks out and it is too quiet and if what we saw yesterday is the extent of their October Surprise then I really dont know what to think. Frankly I was expecting something to have exploded by now or some major crisis to be unfolding but as of yet noting. I know something can still happen at any minute, but even I who am generally black pilled and realistic about what these demons will do am seeing the numbers and I am finding it hard to see how they can be successful in pulling even a partially believable steal.

What concerns me is what I see are the two possible outcomes:

Outcome A, they steal the election to the tune of fabricating in excess of 100 million votes, it will be so laughably and horrifically obvious that the fuse will finally be lit for a massive backlash. Chaos and destruction ensues.

Outcome B, they know harris will lose and lose bad and they are in the process of letting it happen. Trump winning again triggers the insane to act out violently and massive unrest erupts nationwide (this may be the "November Surprise"), even if we get through that, the stops will be pulled and full on economic collapse happens. Chaos and destruction ensues.


Thoughts?
In short, I'm worried.

Logically, there should be no chance a candidate as weak as Kamala with numbers as bad as she has should win. That being the case, there is still way too much enthusiasm behind her from the left and it feels like they are all just hoping enough goes wrong in order to ensure she wins. There have been multiple serious concerns regarding votes needing days to be counted, illegals/dead people voting, and ballot harvesting that make me think all it's going to take is them to get the outcome they want and once that happens it's just done. It doesn't matter if they get caught blatantly cheating, and they don't even need to certify anything, the second they get some kind of "confirmation" Kamala won in any of these places they will run with it and block any kind of legislation or investigations.

Then there's the potential for violence. With an increased amount of time needed to count I wouldn't be surprised if there are some kind of attacks that happen at the polling/counting locations, and as far as the dems are concerned they'll no doubt push through claiming "well we don't know if those would have helped or hurt us, but we're willing to go on anyway".

Idk, as far as I'm concerned if they're able to find a way to say the dem's won somewhere, they'll run with it as fast as possible and no amount of lawsuits or investigations will change it, even if they find undeniable evidence it happened. Then on the flip side, for every Trump win they will immediately file lawsuits that will be investigated and might end up being able to get some of them thrown out disqualified.

The only path to victory in my mind is that Trump needs to win so hard that they literally can't invalidate it or sue their way to victory.

Did a quick glance under view source. The old-school Philly political machine is stuck given how state Democrats have switched to VBM. That's choked the usual cash money that used to rain down like manna from heaven. A lot of those volunteers are the children of ward leaders and party committepeople. Under the old system, the city Democrats would make it rain and lots of union workers would take off on E Day to go bang on doors and offer free car rides.

Operation Ballot Harvesting is a failure, boys.

The middle class black neighborhoods already have voting return rates of 90%, leaving the one area of Philly that Harris really doesn't want to be around: West Philadelphia. Who wants to send volunteers out who will get jumped by propal protesters following them around screaming "genocide!"

(West Philly is where UPenn's campus is)

 
@Get the rope Macaulay!
"I would. its obviously going to happen first off, 2nd off the republicans are spineless cucks they deserve to have this election stolen from them. "golly i don't know what i'd do" the same thing you're doing now nothing. republicans are the epitome of the phrase “You could have your dick in her, but you still wouldn’t have the balls to fuck”

There were areas in the country 4 years ago where turnout was over 100% and you didn't do a fucking thing. i expect at least one state to hit over 100% this election."


Then you've not have to endure long term life/death situations or experienced just how fucking bad parts of the world really are apparently.
Speaking from a purely ideological worldview - I get it. If it comes to that I'm physically and psychologically prepared.
If I were a single, childless, wagie I would probably feel the same. I'm not though, and I won't be shamed into performative "AcCeLeRaTe BrO!!" nonsense.
This isn't even making a consideration for how much the world, and our own 'backyard', will be reshaped by opportunistic foreign governments moving in to fill the void as the US descends into chaos. If you think corrupt bureaucrats are bad, just wait until we're under constant threat of foreign armies mobilizing from occupied sectors of the country.
 
also, other than baseless Project 2025 fear mongering, any "banning" that red states have done regarding porn is making laws that porn sites are required to verify the age of the person watching porn other than a pop up dialog that you can just click yes on. the porn sites then ban themselves to prevent having any kind of checks in place

which, you know, seems like another thing that would poll higher with women than men
Got details wrong.

Red states don't want a simple click to confirm you are legal age pop ups on porntube sites, but to make mandatory that you have to be both registered on the site AND send the porn site scan of a federal ID/driver's license of the user, to be able to access said porn tube websites.

They want to do this because the porn tube sites, especially the ones owned by Mindgeek, got caught REPEATEDLY hosting child porn on their porn tube sites and did jack fucking shit to remove it. First couple of times they got caught hosting kiddie porn, they nuked all amateur porn and uploads of long out of print commercial porn that wasn't by people who sent in paperwork to confirm their identities (as porn tube sites require you to do so to monetize your videos). But the kiddie porn people kept posting videos by registering and submitting their paperwork under aliases, hence the GOP wanting fed id on file for everyone so they can go after the makers and those that view the CP. Which made Mindgeek and their ilk throw a tantrum and just start blocking states outright because they saw a huge drop in viewers when they started making content providers provide basic bitch identification paperwork/users having to log in to view shit, so they are screeching censorship when it's their greed and willingness to turn a blind eye towards the promotion of kiddie porn that made the GOP demand they start keeping everyone's doxes.
 
In short, I'm worried.

The media invented a narrative in 2020 that "Trump is so loud and annoying, let's move on and have some peace and quiet!" and it was a big part of him losing re-election. They did this by nitpicking every move and making him seem very irritating. He could've been in a Church praying and made a small reply to a reporter after the event and it would dominate the media space.

Over the past 4 years, the media has died a quick death and nobody listens to it anymore. They have no control over the narrative like they did in 2020.

Also to note his presidency was somewhat underwhelming, time has healed the perception but it was by no means a "great" presidency. Very hamstrung by the Democrats and a whole lot of attention on him the whole time while he seemed to just want to get on with the job. However, the current presidency is the worst for a long time.
 
Real talk: What are the odds of widespread violence related to the election? Either surrounding election day or inauguration day? Is it zombie apocalypse time, or does nothing ever happen?
Not unlikely I expect the blue and very liberal cities to lose their shit to be quite honest.
Then they were just the compassionate party. And now, they're just The Party.
Look they're the ones who will save our democracy guise.
 
A thought occurred to me—if Trump wins, and there's no mysterious "Kamala bump" in the middle of the night when the swing states stop voting for bullshit reasons, it would also fully legitimatize the Steal, because they can just point to the numbers and any anomalies that year could be swept under the rug as plausible deniability.

The perfect crime usually only works once.
You would still have silent and boomer normies who would believe the 2020 election was Safe & Secure™️ because all the TV people and experts said it was.

Yep. It literally was Covid and Mean Tweets. That's what did him in. I was getting pretty pissed at the constant tweeting myself and him every day on about Covid for months. He got everyone fatigued of himself. Since he's been shot he's mostly acted far less angry all the time, which helps with the indy middle.
 
What the fuck did I just watch? She put out an announcement and made the press show up for a 3 minute collection of some stock phrases about how Orange Man is Bad? There has got to be a story behind this, this is so fucking bizarre.

I have to imagine there was some kind of argument going on, maybe someone was saying Harris wasn't doing enough after taking yesterday off, and was pointing out how the polls are bad for her and the early voting is even worse, so as a way to show she's doing everything she can she just grabs the latest headline from a website and makes a press conference about it. What I wrote was obviously fanfiction, but there is no way anyone in her campaign is saying "hey you should go out there and record 3 minutes of you calling Trump Hitler, that'll really move the needle", so I'm just left baffled at this whole thing.

Maybe it’s just me, but on the walk down to the microphone, she seemed a bit unsteady on her feet.

You think maybe she had a few cocktails and decided that “Hey, I know how to fix this” and threw together this totally game changing press conference?

i understand. i probably could have worded my sentence better. they're looking to force porn websites to verify beyond just having the click yes dialog

the tricky part is that there's no centralized system for that, and even if there is it's very likely it would be run by incompetent government employees and have people's porn website preferences leaked every few years

it's their greed and willingness to turn a blind eye towards the promotion of kiddie porn that made the GOP demand they start keeping everyone's doxes.
i'd argue it's actually the gender bullshit that got normal people to care about what their kids were doing on the computer. only people that engage with porn beyond watching it for 30 minutes at a time even know about the Mindgeek child porn saga. online porn has overall been in a safe place for decades now. but it was only after everyone's kids started suddenly saying they were gross freaks and were being given drugs by groomers in hospitals did parents start to wonder where the hell this came from. and turns out it wasn't just teachers and psychologists, but primarily pedophiles on social media
