Man that's just it the goalposts have moved back. When Trump first took the lead in the primary everyone was daydreaming about him winning and leading the Republicans into unprecedented rout. Since his nomination he's had a mountain of missteps any one of which would obliterate another candidate, public figure, or private citizen and yet he's still capable of getting up to "striking range" in the polls off pure party ID and media weakness. The goalposts have become "well so long as Hillary wins then we're good" when what should worry people is a party can (and will) put up a literal incapable and get this close.

This is not a new development. This is how FPTP voting works. :shrug:

There is absolutely no good news about the race for anyone who doesn't support Donald Trump in the last two days. The race is tied or a very narrow hillary lead with a precarious EC firewall. I've been an ardent "calm the gently caress down guys" poster, but this election is basically on a knife's edge as of right now.

Monmouth is a good pollster. CNN is a good pollster. Q is a good pollster. NYT is an excellent pollster. The numbers are legit, HRC is in trouble.

The reports about Obama's plan to campaign hard for Hillary over the next 2 months, that was good news. Barry would be winning this election by 10 if he was running. He'll do everything he can to pull her across the finish line if he has to.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

this is literally arzying.

The polls have not been good for the last 2 days. it is September and they have been in flux. in flux is not when you can call it. you are taking 2 days and then saying "welp can't win in ohio, pull the ads and shift money elsewhere cause nothing we can do"

It seems this forum is divided into two camps: people that think America wouldn't possibly elect Trump, and people who think America absolutely would elect Trump.

A good friend of mine moved to New Hampshire and according to him, it's really really libertarian. In his experience, they don't care about anything: be as gay as you want, whatever race you are, live life however you want, just keep your hands off their money.

If I remember correctly, they don't even have seat belt laws.

actually, the hippie voters largely stayed hippie voters which is why boomers dying off might not be such a great deal for us, since we'll be dealing with reaganites as the oldest/most solid voting block for a few decades at that point

except the more liberal groups will be voting more reliably as they get older and if it's just gen x rather than gen x and baby boomers how is that not good??

it always puzzles me how it seems like people, when they say "oh gen x people are worse!!!" they forget that it's not as if the gen x group takes over the voting slots of the baby boomers when they die

once they do die, then it's gen x vs the rest of the country

Your friend is correct of course, they're libertarian as balls over there, and only got more pronounced when a bunch of flaky Free State Project morons moved there about 15 yers ago.

I dunno about seat belts, but I know they don't have motorcycle helmet laws in nega-Vermont.
