Before the age of modern polling bookies were the metric of election news. Excellent opportunity to make the next election “more interesting.”

Current Vegas bookies have Trump 11/10 on winning, but you might recall that the Trump cult also broke the oddsmakers last time as they kept throwing money away betting on Trump after he alrwady lost. I suspect that the gamblers have become just as ensnared as polls have.

I'm not a poll expert person so take it with a massive grain of salt.

Trump can ruin gambling institutions he doesn’t even own with just his presence. That’s impressive.

The Fox poll infographic of under 30s had a -8 Biden and +18 Trump swing from '20 to '24. That can't just be enthusiasm.

In the past, Roe v Wade never got reversed. Here recently though Roe v Wade got reversed by not one, not two, but THREE Supreme Court Justices who all said, under oath, that Roe v Wade was settled law.

THREE SCOTUS Justices lied under oath, about an issue that they were sent and installed to reverse. And they succeeded. And they expect that there would be no backlash at all?

See, my friend, THAT is something that has never happened before, and that is also why polls today do not mean a gently caress.

How many times are we going to get derailed by a poll lol? We never talk about the numerous polls that show Biden crushing trump, just some right-winger tweets out a poll and the entire thread has a panic attack over a poll that doesn’t align with reality or the last election, 2022 and recent ones this year.

We never talk about how trump can’t get 100% of his own party, just this general idea that republicans will lock in but that doesn’t seem supported at all?

Abortion alone has like 60% support after republicans became the dog that caught the car.

Where's the lie? It was settled law at the time. But once you're on the SC, you get to decide what is and isn't settled law anymore.

they are desperate to shut down any legitimate government action because their side can run entirely on lies. they can stand in a desolate field pointing at the rot and scream "i'm the one who gave you all this treasure by stealing it from the woke mob!" and a hundred million hogs will clap their hooves and vote in droves

remember when there was a minor stock market crash when trump was elected? didn't matter
then, for four years, the stock market was the single most important number ever. that number was at record highs, trump is a genius who is great for the
oh the market crashed even after injecting a trillion dollars into it with a vote that was created and passed in 45 minutes? since when has the stock market ever mattered???
now, oddly enough, you never hear about the stock market, i assume, with old man stupid head in the white house, it's at record lows, the single most iportant number in the history of ever is at record lows because of sleepy joe biden and i *checks numbers* don't care. who has ever cared about the stock market?
and besides, it's only high because of trump.

11/10 is a 47.5% chance to win according to Google. That actually sounds about right, I’ve been saying 50-50 due to the EC.

Based on a confluence of influences, like rent freezes, expanded UI, expanded Medicaid, free school lunches, expanded SNAP, expanded CFTC, and a whole host of federal and state programs, all of which was rolled up and discontinued in 2022 and 2023, people did save more than they have since anyone could remember



Americans soaked that up and immediately started putting it away. Even 600 dollars was held and buried away for a long time afterwards before finally succumbing to higher rent, food costs, etc

We're really good at maximizing even just a bit of help from the government, rare as it is.

You follow the path

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment

when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

While apocalyptic whining because suddenly you don't have an iron majority is an American pastime, doing it with the cursed background of TRUMP makes you lose every time
