2024 Elections: One Last Chance for Democracy

Completely unrelated to anything being discussed: I know I posted some polls earlier this year showing Trump ahead in every swing state, and some of y’all smoked me for it. Maybe rightfully so.
I don’t think the polls are polling the wrong people right now. I think they’re contacting plenty of people on their cell phones, in urban areas, etc. The good polls are, anyway, and I think they’re weighting appropriately. I think it’s still so early in the election season, that they’re only catching the 5% of us paying attention, and right now, Republicans are responding to more polls than Democrats, because they’re more energized about their candidate. Explains why it’s 41-39 Trump, etc., rather than 50-47, because many people are still undecided, either because they don’t give a f-ck yet, or they’re mad at Biden for Gaza. Looking at the 2020 polls this time of the year, Biden was ahead 48-37, 49-42, etc. He ended up winning 51.3-47. Trump’s voters came home and made it far closer than the May polls, but thankfully it wasn’t enough. Biden’s voters are going to come home. They may not be responding to polls right now, but when push comes to shove, they’ll vote, and it’ll be similar to 51.3-47 again. This is me projecting confidence, and putting up a middle finger to articles that Politico is publishing. Like this one.

Jenna Ellis lost her law license yet her client roams free. Somehow the Kingpin never has any consequences. That's a flaw in our government that needs to be rectified.

You mean like the one I got for a "700% match!!1!1"?

I like when I get emails, then texts, then more emails asking if I saw the email. Then I get the "let me explain" email about why they keep asking for money despite their "war chest".

Pres. Biden: "What would've happened if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol? I don't think [Trump would] be talking about pardons."
"This is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd's murder. It's the same guy who still calls the 'Central Park Five' guilty, even though they were exonerated. He's that landlord who denies housing applications because of the color of your skin. He's that guy who won's say Black lives matter and invokes neo-Nazi … terms."

Biden ripping Trump to shreds in Philly tonight.

If there's one thing I remember from my 20s, it's that my level of political engagement and trying to be educated on the major issues was rare, especially among men. Despite some progress, which I attribute mainly to Dump being exceptionally awful, I think it still is.

Of course, going to a STEM school probably had an impact on my experience as well. STEM tends to attract a more apolitical or libertarian sort of individual, since people who prefer to work with machines are naturally less sociable and less likely to consider the concerns and feelings of other humans. That's why we have to force engineers to take ethics classes. ;-)

That checks with my experience in the early 80s. To be honest it is probably universally true. The deep, dark secret of the "Sixties" is the engaged students were a small minority. The vast middle was just aping the trendy look to be popular or get laid.

And that is because kids are just people who don't have skin tags yet, and most people aren't all that excited about their tolerance or their justice or their racism or their invisible man in the sky. They're meh about everything except for their crotchfruit and their sportsball. And that's true of man, woman and non-binary, city mouse, country mouse, and suburban ferret.

Remember that TV show 30 Something? They did a great flashback episode once on how the characters were "activists" in their college days. Turns out, the truth was exactly how you describe the "vast middle." They were just there for the social aspects of the protests and "to get laid." And as the characters reminiscence back to those days, they suddenly realized the truth about their pasts.

That's great. I never saw that show but what a perfect idea for an episode.
 
My parents watched that show...my dad was not part of the "vast middle" he was an activist so I bet that episode reminded him why he hated people :p
 
so far these are state trials, right? Not federal?

if a federal Biden would be wise to pardon him :cool:
get a speech written how like ford and Nixon, it was for the best of the nation and while trump was balls down guilty, let’s move ahead
of course do it in a heavily democratic state so when trump sues for libel they have the trial there and the burden is less (see OJ ;))
