2024 Elections: One Last Chance for Democracy

[Bronco]

Honestly, Europe will be on fire too.

Remind me how did you get visa? I much enjoyed ripping around on the s bahn and ice trains last week

Was a lot harder 7 years ago than it is now. They've removed a lot of restrictions to make it easier for qualified people to get jobs here.

However, a lot of companies are slower to react so you'll still have a significantly better chance of getting a job if you're already in country.

You'd now be able to move here and have a 6-12 month visa just to look for a job as long as you're able to show you can support yourself financially during that time. Much better than the 90 day tourist visa before.

At worst, move here and get a freelance job until you find something permanent.

OMG!

Is this the October surprise? And Tamron Hall? Is this actually true??

No...and I don't buy the story for a second. This seems like bait trying to get people to jump at BS so they can say "see its all lies!". Not one reputable news source is even looking at it based on my cursory search.

Even if it was, this is a weak October Surprise in comparison to everything else.

Depends where you go. I was looking at Scotland myself although being part of the UK is not ideal

BTW, voting yesterday didn't end the "we know you voted in 20xx" messages.

This. Europe seems nice until you see the results the far right parties there have been getting. Add in being an immigrant AND an American? No thanks.

Since Dump has seen fit to file a lawsuit in Pennsylvania already I think it’s safe to say that things aren’t going well there for him.

He has been filing them there for months...but yeah his tirade today tells me internal numbers must be bad so far.

And not just there...even CNN can't hide it. According to their polling of early voters:

Michigan: 61-35 Harris
Wisconsin: 60-38 Harris
Pennsylvania: 57-40 Harris

Now usual caveats of how polling sucks, people lie and early voting is not a guarantee of success. That said those numbers are bad. In fact outside of that poll overall saying Pennsylvania is tied 48-48 (I struggle to buy that math) amongst highly motivated likely voters Harris leads 50-47. It's even worse in Wisconsin and Michigan. (52/47 and 51/45)

Just. Keep. Fighting.

In ways, sure, but not likely in a way where I’ll be punished for not having kids.

I’ve lived in Europe twice. I’m very aware of the drawbacks.

Trump is being driven around in a photo op...in a Trump Garbage Truck talking about Puerto Rico and how great he was to them.

 

[Handyman]

Is that the one where he claimed that him throwing them paper towels was fun for them (as they recovered from a hurricane that ravaged their island and killed thousands)?

I didn't watch but probably. He apparently said no one has been better to Puerto Rico than him and he barely knew the comedian...I [bleep] you not.

Of course the Trump Campaign approved of all the jokes and even censored one that called Harris a See You Next Tuesday...that was too far.

 

[Handyman]

Trump's stock had been skyrocketing...then crashed a bit today. Something shady is going on...

 

[RaceBoarder]

I'm sure there are tons of people playing games with it. Especially morons betting on a Dump win next Tuesday.

Oh sure...and I think someone like Musk is pumping it up.

A true pump and Dump.

Would have to compare to last time to see if that is up or down from 2020 early voting. Obviously, since early votes are counted last, Dump will claim he won if he leads at 11 pm before those votes roll in.

I think 2022 was the first Michigan early in person voting.

So much for mookies theory that nobody will be talking about the insults against Puerto Ricans. He doubled down on the insult with that one.

You wouldn't need in person. I assume those surveys were not exit polls, they just asked people if they voted already and then for whom.
