The Dems are a line and Mitch is about to snort them.

Voting for Trump is basically a “safe” way for people to jam a thumb in the eye of Clownworld (for lack of a better word). There are a lot of people, myself very much included, who are absolutely sick of how the modern day cult of wokeism has turned everything in our lives into a dumpster fire of cringe-inducing awkwardly shoehorned-in intersectionalism. There is simply nowhere to escape the cult anymore: virtually all mass market entertainment (movies, TV, literature, videogames, and even fucking niche aspergian hobbies like knitting or cooking) is riddled with social justice cancer. It’s anti-human, anti-fun misery and it feels absolutely suffocating to many, MANY people.

I think that the number of voters in America who are tired of and disgusted with all of this is greatly underestimated by the koolaid drinkers. A lot of us just want to hit back and watch these people go through paroxysms of cognitive dissonance when Trump gets reelected and aren’t expecting much beyond that. That fat fuck Michael Moore was right when he said that electing Trump was the biggest “FUCK YOU” in history. The Democratic party has apparently to this day not seriously considered that their cultural brand is simply odious and unappealing, and that more than anything else is why they lost in 2016 and will be the single biggest reason they'll lose in 2020. If they’d eased up on the wokescolding horseshit in the last four years, they would now be in a much stronger position to sweep Trump out of office and would have been able to outflank him on policy. Instead they’ve quadrupled down on it, and now seem to be unable to understand why right wing populism is surging in the western world.

That right there is what the silent majority rhetoric is referring to: people who are tired of being hectored by nigger, tranny, and faggot issues everywhere they turn in their daily lives, and just want to get back to grilling. It remains to be seen if this cohort still outnumbers the lost and the damned, but I personally think it does and I also think a great many more have shifted over to this side after the shitshow of the last four years. I suppose we’ll find out next week, but I’m cautiously optimistic.

Perhaps this video is the best Trump ad for them.

I don't understand how the election can be this close with how ridiculously low energy and fucked up Biden has been. He's not even campaigning for the next few days for crying out loud. What the fuck is going on?

Like 2016 this election is all about Trump. In 2016 all you heard about was Trump and his policies, you were voting for or against Trump. Hillary was a terrible candidate and a lot of people knew that but they voted for her because they were Democrats or they didn't like Trump. She was a vote for Obamas policies and Democrat policies in general vs. Trump where everyone in the country could at least tell you what he stood for outside generic Republican talking points. 2020 is the same, whats driving voters are their views on Trumps performance in the past 4 years. Are you happy with Trumps presidency or are you unhappy with Trumps presidency? That is the most important thing to voters. Biden is just the stand-in for the Democrats and leftists as a whole. It doesn't matter what he says or claims to stand for, all that matters is he is not Trump. He is the other choice for millions of Americans, doesn't matter if hes an uninspiring corrupt candidate, what matters is that he's their way of saying they don't agree with Trumps policies.

Philly is where the most blue votes come from.
View attachment 1689086
Trump won this by just under 1% in 2016, Philly is that deep blue dot on the bottom right, it was 20% of the total Dem vote across the entire state. (~500k)

If the riot blocks or even discourages any voting in the city, I can only see that hurting Dems, when they were already dealing with razor thin margins and Biden's oil slipup.

If you weren't sure about betting on PA, now's probably the time.

Don't expect Phily to fundamentally change despite the chaos in their literal back yards. It may encourage some Republican holdouts to vote Trump in earnest, but all the way back in June Democrats were rationalising local protests as being Trump's fault. He's not done enough to soothe race relations, he's a racist, he's not helping the governor enough bla bla bla. You're allowed to break the law because Donald Trump is president to these people. Unless they get a brick through their own window, they're not gonna wake up.
Best you can hope for is digestible clips which will wake up moderates in the rest of the state.

That speedway holds 5,500 people in the stands alone. Whoever said Trump might be having trouble finding venues to hold rallies in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, that is what happened to the La Crosse rally scheduled in early October.

It's why the seventeen point edge the Democratic edge on early voting according to TargetSmart (which should be taken with a grain of salt, especially with states without party preference registrations) is not worth freaking out about. The nine mayors in the Iron Range who endorsed Trump are Democrats but they find themselves abandoned by the current Democratic Party. Minnesotans do not like corporate Democrats and the fact Trump has actually campaigned there gives him a shot again Biden. If Sanders or Gabbard had been the candidates (I know they're not populist like people think they are, but it's the image they have), it would not be a swing state. Of the swing states, Minnesota and Pennsylvania are the best places for crossover votes. If Trump plays his cards well, these could become light red states (hopefully he'll do a Minnesota rally this week).

That said, I find it peculiar that Baris said that Trump was getting killed in Hennenpin County yet mentions nothing about Ramsay and says Biden is doing a little worse in the urban areas while doing a little better in the rural areas (outside I'd presume North Minnesota and the Iron Range). We'll have to see once the topline and crosstab comes out for the state in a few days, but it could mean that the riots had an impact. If so, we could see Oregon and Washington trend bluer since Portland and Seattle were also just as badly trashed by the riots.

Seems like he's implying (my guess) that Biden won't be ahead by more than a point. "Competitive" but "moving towards Trump" is vague wording and I want to see what he means by it. Either way, the state will be a nail biter, same with all of the Upper Rust Belt states.

Baris might be focused on Hennepin over Ramsey because it has almost double the population. It is a local joke that nobody goes to St. Paul for fun. Biden doing better in rural areas is curious though, it must be a 10:1 Trump signs vs Biden signs when I have driven in rural areas, but I guess there is a lot of state to the northwest and southwest. The southwest is near South Dakota though, where there are no WuFlu restrictions, and people spend their money in SD over MN every weekend. Our governor has not been helping the cause in rural areas by saying it is “all rocks and cows” there. I do not see people who hate the governor voting for Biden. Since he is not up for election until 2022, I think a lot of people will take out their anger in voting for Trump.

Even worse is when they glitch and refuse to close in social media apps. Come to think of it, that is likely a feature, not a bug.

Shit, I didn't know that. I want to say it's probably not intentional, but I've seen too much shit this year that's woken me up and prove the contrary.

The Fentanyl Floyd debacle was the straw that broke the camel's back for me, but I'll save my sperging about it for the riot thread.

My mailbox has been bombarded with that crap. In ONE WEEK I got 5 "reminders" from the same organization, telling me what a wonderful person I was for being an active voter - the last 3 exhorted me to examine the records of Democratic candidates in my area in particular.

Do you want spite votes? Because this is how you get spite votes.

His Twitter is great for a laugh. He gets ratioed nearly every tweet. Seeing the shift in a public forum was the first indication to me that the state could actually flip.

I haven't been seeing many signs this year, even for state and local stuff. Last evening I was on a fairly major road in the area that I don't end up on often and I saw one house with a teensy little Biden Harris sign, then a few houses down a fuckYUGE Trump Pence sign. I got a nice little laugh out of that.

Huh,... Well learn something everyday
I remember her being the talk of the town and the Dems trying to spin her as a big icon. Even so, they really should have tried to neutralize her quickly, instead they seemed to want to press their luck by making her a prominent figure and that has surely backfired on all accounts.

Was the Squad a ploy by the DNC, or were they ambushes too? Even with just them, there is clearly some mixed messaging.

After the Squad was elected, the media wouldn't shut up about how wonderful it was to have the 1st woman Muslim and the 1st woman Somalian in congress, etc, etc.

I do think Trump's "AOC+3" comments in the last debate were a bit of a misfire. The Squad doesn't scare me, Kamala Harris does.
