Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Seriously who the gently caress cares about Bernie. He ran in the primary and he lost. There is always someone who loses. Were people still theorizing about a Howard Dean presidency in October? Bernie's major problem is that he only has the one speech. The first time you hear it, it's amazing. "Holy poo poo, this guy gets it! He knows the score, the banks are loving us!" But then you realize it's literally the only speech he has. He can't talk about anything else without pivoting back to income inequality. And yes, it's an important issue, but it is not the only issue.

For levity, a pro-trump voting group is trying to get this up in key battleground states, allegedly. Didn't read the article. https://m.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/566wgo/trumpinspired_pepe_the_frog_billboards_to_hit/

Unless Hillary somehow spectacularly fucks her Presidency up. Then we'll never hear the goddamn end of how loving great President Sanders would've been, guys.

Can we have a food derail? Is it possible for forensic account to find out if Dem linked super pacs buying food trucks or paying for catering that is as legally close to voting sites as they can be? What about those same super pacs doing some sort Pokemon Go deal?

boner confessor posted:yeah i'm sure florida will still be deeply impacted from this hurricane a month from now I'm confused about it as well but I'm guessing the issue is that if the hurricane is bad, it will take time to clean up/get people able to move back home where they vote. Also I'm guessing that most of the blue areas of Florida are on the coast, where the hurricane will hit hardest. The innards of Florida are probably blood red.

so assuming that trump is going to put his foot in it and say something stupid about hurricane matthew immediately afterwards to try and politicize it or make it about trump. what are the chances that's going to make florida solid blue as opposed to leaning blue this election?

Yeah, I like Keepin' it 1600, but as woman I'm cognizant that they're very much acting in a "white guy" realm. I think they're good to get a sense of how the campaigns react to things, and I actually enjoy how they joke around, but I would really like a "campaign breakdown" podcast + intersectionality. Does anyone know if there's something like that out there?

A loving hurricane tilting the election to Trump would somehow be an incredibly appropriate end (of the world). However if Drudge is playing down how big it is I guess that means Team Trump isn't going to use it to weasel out of debate #2.

Oh no, if Hillary loses Florida because of this hurricane loving everything up she'll only win the election with 300 EVs! FFS guys there is a lot to be freaked out regarding this hurricane but the political implications are not one of them. Hillary is basically tied in Arizona. Arizona! And Trump is not leading in Nevada no matter what his unrated front pollsters are telling him. No loving chance.

Endorph posted:there are parts of louisana that still haven't recovered from katrina Florida is definitely more prepared to deal with this than New Orleans was. They typically get fairly major hurricanes every few years, they just haven't really so far this century. If the path goes as expected, Florida will get hit hard, lives will be lost, but it won't just ruin parts of the state like Katrina did. If it radically changes and it parks directly on top of Miami or something it'll be real bad though.

the last time a storm this big hit florida was ten years ago - hundreds of houses damaged, a few rural communities cut off due to bridge failues or storm damage, and five american deaths. hardly the kind of thing that's going to gently caress up polling places a month from now

CO+VA is such a boon to the blues. It's just that Florida giving us Bush in 2000 and Trump in 2016 is the sort of mythical thing that feels like it might happen more than it actually will happen.
