Biden v Dump 1: If not now, when? If not us, who?

All provisos considered (too early, national polls meaningless, etc), it's better than the opposite.

Recent headlines may have dented Joe Biden’s favorability rating ever so slightly but he has actually widened his national lead over Donald Trump in the race for president. The Monmouth (“Mon-muth”) University Poll finds that voters are divided on the credibility of a sexual assault allegation against the Democratic nominee. The poll also finds that former President Barack Obama is largely popular with the American electorate, 2020 voters are not as interested in considering a third party candidate as they were four years ago, and Democrats hold a lead in the generic House ballot. Also, half the nation’s voters are likely to consider voting by mail this November.

Biden currently has the support of 50% of registered voters and Trump has the support of 41%. Another 3% say they would vote for an independent candidate and 5% are undecided. This represents a slightly wider lead for the Democrat than in previous Monmouth polls – 48% to 44% in April and 48% to 45% in March.

When Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan is added to the mix as a Libertarian candidate, Biden gets 47%, Trump gets 40% and Amash gets 5%.

I wonder what skeletons are in Amash's closet? Would be good of his Loonitarian opponents to dig around a bit...

Bad news is, it's probably something boring like, "Didn't return Mrs. Van Hoosen's casserole dishes for over a week after that one church potluck."

That loses Minnesota right there.

Indeed, it would. I don’t think most native Minnesotans use the term “casserole.”

No one here uses that word

It's hot dish. You can come for dinner but if you don't like it you can gtfo.

Said in my best Minnesota passive/aggressive.

I grew up calling it both since my parents aren't native Minnesotans.

Early swingstate polling.

One one hand, Biden's up by 1-6 points:

NC 47-46
WI 48-44
FL 47-43
PA 48-43
MI 49-43

On the other hand, he's not up by 30 and that shows just how rock stupid some of America is.

I don’t need an election every four years to remember America is profoundly stupid. Voter turnout alone is proof, regardless of who wins. How could you not bother to show up for ten minutes for something that impacts your daily life in very meaningful ways?

In most places I've lived it's more like 2 hours and that would be very rough on a workday with a set work schedule if you had to take mass transit.

Also, when people don't buy Fruity Puffs or Choco Flakes we don't call them lazy, we call the products unattractive.

A lot of this is baked it, and I can't help thinking deliberately.

But I know you know this.

Mrs. Van Hoosen's

Not a lot of Dutch around here either.

As long as we’re talking about Minnesota, I was sad this post didn’t get some love:

“Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One election. If we faced 'em ten times, they might steal nine. But not this election. Not this November. This November, we campaign with them. This November, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest political party in the world. You were born to be campaigners. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great movement the MAGAs have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it.”

Nice

No. No one calls it green bean casserole. Also, no one makes mac and cheese in an oven-safe, glass or ceramic dish approximately 9”x9”.

Walleye and wild rice bake? Yeesh. No way. Baked or pan fried walleye is the only cooked fish I’ll eat. So good.

I think the only hotdish the average Minnesotan makes more than 0.25 times a year is tater tot hotdish, maybe green bean hotdish. I know tuna noodle is still somewhat popular. That said, I think we have two 9x9s, two 13x19s, and probably one or two other sizes.

That map is ****. But really, really funny. I kinda want it.
