2020 has got my expectations so low that I'm going in with the mindset that she's gonna win. I'm not even trying to be a doomer either it's just hard for me to actually be hopeful or optimistic about this shit. On paper this should be a easy win for Trump but so was 2020 and we all know how that shit ended. At this point it's easier to go in with the bar set low and if he does lose, I'm just gonna not bother looking at any news or social media shit for a few months because the worst shit is dealing with all the fucking sumg retards on twitter. Anyway I still want him to win but it's just hard for me to fully think he will.
2020 was not an easy win unless you got all your news from Tim Pool. Biden was consistently 5-6 pts ahead.
 
This is an interesting claim. Why would that be the case? For the same reasons you describe, a lot of the people who view abortion as a hard No (outside of medical emergencies) won't be a relevant demographic to any conservative parties, and by then the policy you'd be conserving is the states deciding. The indians or mexicans or whoever inevitably becomes 75% of the population also don't support abortion bans historically.
it's not just specifically abortion. anti abortion views go hand in hand with religious nuts that turn off the ever growing number of "unaffiliated religion" voters. women don't want a man wielding a bible telling them how to live their life any more than men don't want a woman wielding an army of cats telling them how to live their life

Trump has solved this issue for this election cycle by tugging on the reins and telling the religious right to shut the hell up, even going so far as promising to veto a national abortion ban. unless the GOP really does become the MAGA party this issue will come up again after he's gone. Vance's poor answers and views about abortion is already pulling the GOP back towards the endless abortion fight

it may get settled eventually but it will keep being a campaignable issue for a few election cycles still
 
This quandary may have more to do with institutional control and influence as well as human psychology so it is something that cannot entirely be resolved by choosing to not vote for a candidate.
After watching the video we're talking about I don't think the point he was trying to make was "If we don't vote we will somehow fix the country." It has more to do with the things we agree with, like both parties at this point bearing no relation to the policies of older conservatism. The party that existed when this country wasn't a massive embarrassing mess.

Final prediction, PA decided by 20k votes. NC decided by 30k, WI decided by 5k votes, GA decided by 50k votes.
It will be so fucking funny if spurning Shapiro because she was worried about losing Dearborn winds up costing Kamala the election
 
To this day I remain mystified how any woman in the 70-80-90's stretch ever got laid because their hair was a fucking meme.
Thank God we made hairspray illegal for the sake of the ozone layer.
Big, frizzy hair was a thing in the 80s because of rock. I'm thinking she decided to follow the trend, as always, but couldn't follow through because of professionalism.

I'd get dazed with all that hair and chemical hairspray.
 
What's everyone eating for election night? I'm gonna be eating Korean BBQ chicken, and washing it down with soju and Stella
A family member is in town and we are goin out for chicken wings. If ya'll haven't had blue moon wings I fucking reccomend it. Different places will use different types of hot sauce on it, but the combo of that and the blue cheese is always amazing.
