I think that The Obamas definitely want Harris to win.

She's been part of their "in" group for almost a decade now. There is no doubt in my mind that Biden "choosing" her as his VP four years ago was all Obama's doing, since they know that she'd never win through a primary process (as we've seen already).

If Kamala loses tomorrow, the Obama Machine and Legacy will be dead. Let's pray that this happens, because Trump's track record of ruining corrupt political dynasties has been pretty awesome to watch.

Because how dare you challenge an election via the proper legal channels, instead of doing as you're told and surrendering.

Turns out us bitter clingers have more longevity in politics than Barry does.

Every single one of those is within even a good margin of error, let alone the loose ~3-3.5% ones these hacks keep running.

I swear one of the worst things about watching this is seeing the slipping standards -become- the standard.

Imma give my thoughts on the whole P'nut/squirrel discussion:

[...]

What the demise of P'nut (and Fred the raccoon, let's not forget him) represent, to me anyway, is the awful, seemingly unevenly applied, and sometimes downright arbitrary use of state power against people who haven't done anything to anyone, all in the name of "it's teh roolz!" Meanwhile, state power goes unused or lightly applied against people who do actual harm to others. The multi-tiered system of justice and all that. To which I say, fuck all of you wanna-be tinpot dictators and goon-squad enforcers.

It just has all the hallmarks of anarchotyranny, where the state is somehow incapable or unwilling to deal with the basic functions of the state, while willing to expend vast amounts of resources to target the helpless and law-abiding.

A system only expands when it is given more energy, just like a lifeform, or like cancer. Giving more energy (aka money, power, resources) to Democrats or their appendages enables more of this. When you pull energy from a system, no surprise, it begins to contract and withdraw- and hopefully wither.

As much as I hope, just like Kudzu or Creeping Bellflower, a lot more has to be torn out, as their roots have infiltrated many of the state institutions.

They weren't even going to back her until something changed.

Michelle Obama hates Kamala Harris.

The glue that holds them all together is their hatred for Donald Trump. The only one who slightly got over his TDS was, ironically, Biden but mainly because he loathes Kamala more (somehow) and he wants to die as the only guy who beat him. It's literally all he has left.

I'd LOVE to be in that bunker on Election Night, it seems like everyone in there hates eachother, imagine if they lose. They'll all be strangling eachother and it will turn into a WWE match.

There is no way they allow her to pull a Hillary and just skip talking to the audience after the loss. They'll make her go out there, drunk, high or whatever and become the primary example of why they lost.

AKA just enforce the fucking laws already present.

Crazy shit.

You know, I know that lots of people still like to call Marco Rubio "Little Marco," but he was actually one of the more favorable candidates in the 2016 GOP primary, in my opinion.

Aside from Trump stealing the show every single time, obviously, Rubio's statements on policies on the debate stage have still resonated with me.

For instance, he was the only candidate who said it out in the open: "We don't need to fix our immigration laws ... We just have to enforce the laws that are already there! Why can't Washington do this?!"

Also, Rubio's statements on abortion during those debates are basically some of my favorite quotes on abortion by a politician in the past 10 years: "At one point in our history, we accepted slavery as a normal thing. We now read about it in the history books with horror and guilt. I believe that abortion will be seeing the same fate-- and hopefully I'll be seeing it at some point in my lifetime."

As hilarious as "Little Marco" is as a nickname, I still think that Rubio is overall a good egg. And he's become more based since that primary, too.

Reuters reported last month that nearly half of the election boards of the five largest counties in each of the seven battleground states have members who have expressed sympathy for Trump’s claims that the election is highly susceptible to fraud.

Unguarded ballot boxes with no ID required is "highly susceptible to fraud".

TPTB stonewalling the issue will continue to have ramifications later.

You and I both know that these polls get clicks, which sells ads.

The only thing I like about Rubio is he has implied that the US has information proving that Putin had a hand in orchestrating the 1999 Russia apartment bombings, which has been something of an open secret for 20-something years. I like that he sometimes says the thing.

“I think history will look on this painfully, like the great Harambe. Another great, gentle animal that was killed unjustly—before I was elected President the first time, by the way. Harambe was shot in Cincinnati, a deep blue city, Joe... Every time the Democrats kill an innocent animal, I seem to win an election. I wish it wasn’t that way, I really don’t."

Are you kidding me... Up less than 1% aka in margin of error (usually shown at +-2%)

The Iowa poll showing Harris up sound smore accurate.

No shit. That and the arrogance form some Trump supporters is idiotic.

They (and people here) cannot conceptualize the TDS of MANY people and women's overriding love..nay.. WORSHIP of abortion.

D's showing up 10-20% less than 2020 equals historic Trump landslide.

Almost retardedly optimistic.

Any projection showing Trump getting more than ~280 EC votes is probably utter bullshit.

This is going to be close as hell.
