Not wrong of course, but I think much less so. At least in rapey terms

The top part of the roof on the left badly needs a window or something in it- even if just for show. Otherwise this looks nice.

The only way to fully end the problem, would be to only allow women into politics

Hopefully that’s true. It all depends on turnout.

I like the confidence, but the data isn’t really showing that. What happens if they keep dipping? Basically, why is this close? Can we risk it being close?

They’re a lot lot closer than I would like. They also have, slightly, declined since the debate.

I hope so. But what explains the declining poll numbers? Trump’s voters are confident and ready. Biden’s are not. How do we boost turnout?

It doesn’t have to go that far. In fact, it probably won’t because of the media and international attention actual murders would get. Much easier to quietly end someone’s career by sidelining them for being “disloyal.” That can happen a thousand times over and nobody will notice.

I unfortunately think Biden will lose, unless the campaign shifts messaging to a broader focus… and fast.

The campaign has to actually do this. Talk about the admin coming in with Biden, talk about the stability.

The campaign better start pushing that message. Cuz I know and WE know that we’re voting for an administration over just one guy. But does the American public at large know that?

Biden *can* win, but IMO why white knuckle it? Personally, going down swinging with Kamala, a new and fresh face, is better than riding with the oldest president ever.

States back in the day didn’t even have laws saying they had to obey the popular vote. They could just choose to send any electors. Still could!

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Not defining properly what constitutes official versus unofficial is the worst part by miles. The ruling could arguably make sense if those limits are clearly defined.

That’s the hope. Basically Biden has to maintain narrow leads in most of the states he already won narrowly. The only one percentage wise that he lost, that was close, was North Carolina. It’s closer than it should be, is the worry.

By small percentages in many key states, yes. We can’t trust turnout to be the same- in fact I think this election will be quite low turnout. Plus, the American right is deeply irrational. If they weren’t, this vote wouldn’t be close at all

It’s always bad to give corporations leeway, and perhaps worse to give leeway to high-ranking officials. SCOTUSdid both, and really did screw America over deep into the future with the recent decisions.

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

Keep in mind the admin is far more than the president themselves. The Trump second term platform is, above all else, a gutting of the federal government’s basic functioning and basic protections domestically, while still funding murder overseas. It will create deep instability. You want that?

Trump 2.0 would be a lot like Herbert Hoover’s presidency, I bet. But on an even worse and dumber scale. Collapsing the nation in many facets, leaving nobody left to support him. [Excuse the following hopium-posting:] Thus setting the stage for AOC 2028

Many of them definitely are. But I believe there is a tipping point for another large swath of them. The less locked in, less culty. Question is, where is that point?

It REALLY ends much like it did in 1929: the country has to absolutely tank economically. I think, if the right wing really did try all their proposals, we’d be in an awful depression within a decade
