I'm gonna admit. I'm starting to Arzy like a motherfucker. HilDawg is dropping like a rock on fivethirtyeight.

Ugh... I canvassed last weekend and I might have to do something this week but I have no loving time and this election isn't fun and... deep breaths... I can't wait till this is over. God help us. I hope HilDawg pulls is off.

Is this freakout over that one NC poll? For that to be indicative of a national trend it requires pretty much everyone in this country to go "welp Trump is alright I guess" combined with Democrats suddenly caring about emails. Even then NC isn't required. I'm guessing more and more embarrassed Republicans are coming home to daddy Trump instead of being principled and voting third party or abstaining but that still isn't enough.

The FBI seemingly going all in on Trump support regardless of effect is a lot more creepy especially if after the election everyone treats it like it was cute.
Trump might be within a Brexit-level polling error on Nov 8th.

A US friend of mine in NYC has rented a bus to literally ferry people to polling stations in NC.

Well, its probably fine it you want to appoint a Republican to Commerce or Energy.

FBI director and Justice department are now clearly politically partisan offices, and it should become routine for the sitting FBI director to offer a resignation if the other party wins.

This post is pretty ironic considering the thread is full of stuff like this:


Most places in the country are like a 40/40 split with the independent 20 deciding who wins. Everyone who lives in the United States knows somebody supporting both candidates, full stop. If you've disowned any of your friends and family for their vote I don't know what to tell you, neither one of these candidates are worth that kind of loyalty at all.

This whole election has just been wrought with individual grandstanding.

I don't particularly disagree with you I know it is wrong but these people live in a separate reality where up is down and right is wrong and it is hard to accomodate their opinions

FWIW, that SurveyUsa poll of NC had Trump at 14% afro-american vote and 43% 18-35 vote which seems a bit off.

It also indicates that 75% of Democrats plan on voting for Hillary and 23% of them plan on voting for Trump which... doesn't seem likely to me? It says 90% of R's will vote Trump and 5% will vote Clinton, which seems more in line with other polls.

Another thing that's not worth Arzying over: Clinton spending money in firewall states like CO. It's the last week of the campaign and they have a mountain of cash to burn through, why not spend some in the firewall states? It doesn't mean their internals show CO suddenly collapsing.

Honestly I wish they'd spend it on charting buses for Dem stronghold areas, especially in areas that could be affected by the SEPTA strike. Not only would it help get people to the polls but the right wing freakout over Clinton having an actual bus service for voters would be beautiful to watch.

TheGreatGnocchi posted:

She doesn't need NC. Now if VA or PA show a near tie then begin to Arzy. Chill the gently caress out people.

NC is currently run by a horrific GOP state party and the Senate seat there would go a long ways towards helping get a Dem majority in the chamber.

I was referring to the most recent Weiner stuff. Is the whole, "the emails were neither to or from HRC" thing accurate, and if so, why are people caring?

Because having it framed as CLINTON EMAILS INVESTIGATION REOPENED BY FBI for several days with less than 2 weeks until the election is loving madness and Comey's rear end needs to be nailed to the wall for his public handling of the case.

Sooner or later someone will fabricate a video of a candidate going off on some insane rant, like O'Keefe trying to splice together a bunch of soundbites to make a "Hillary goes on racist rear about black people" clip to post at the last minute so that there's no time to react to it and people head to the polls (or not) in anger. The closest we've had recently was probably the Bush Vietnam stuff.

This is the current Competitive map on 270towin



If all these states are correct, then in addition to needing only one of OH, NC, or FL to win the presidency, she can also win with WI+NH or WI+NV.

Also I just checked back on 538 and Florida switched back to blue.

If one possibly/possibly not an outlier poll from a state which Obama lost last election is all it takes for you to freak out and proclaim Trump the next president, you probably shouldn't watch the news for the next seven days or you will have a nervous breakdown.

The consequences of a loss, however unlikely, is a hell of a lot worse than normal for an election.

If I was offered a choice between a 1 term Trump followed by a 2 term Democrat (if we're still alive) or a 1 term Clinton followed by a 2 term Republican and those were the only options, I would probably choose the latter.
