I'm reading about vaccine-truthism globalist-illuminati "Treat humanity like an animal" conspiracy posting in the Trump thread and am seeing stuff about how Trump sees through the mist of lies because his thought patterns don't lend themselves to be hijacked by the kind of thinking that globalists use to oh sweet loving God tell me that the last few pages are mostly trolls.

In online pro-Trump discussions, it is exceedingly difficult to tell where the memes and trolling end and the paranoia and mental illness begin.

Even if a victory is all-but-assured, we really do need a landslide. If Hillary only wins by a margin of one or two swing states, House Republicans are going to spend the next four years conducting investigation after investigation into voter fraud and all the little hitches that happen in every election are going to be massively blown out of proportion and widely reported as "investigation into Hillary rigging the polls." The Republicans are going to try this no matter what, but Hillary needs an overwhelming mandate for the media to rightfully not take it seriously.

I am pretty sure that Hillary's going to win barring some kind of black swan event of unprecedented magnitude, but I maintain the right to :derp: over continued Republican obstructionism in Congress, the 2018 midterms, 2020, and the idea that Trump isn't going to be defeated thoroughly enough to completely discredit his platform in the eyes of the (white) public.

In addition to Assange working for RT in the past, we also have the recent revelation that Wikileaks has been editing some of their leaks to remove things that make Russia look bad, totally contrary to their "no curation" policy which they've used in the past to justify leaking the names of US informants in Iraq and outing LGBT people in repressive anti-gay countries. Also, Wikileaks claimed that the Panama Papers were fake, because they make Russia look bad. They're absolutely shills for Russia.

What is azrying?

Arzy was a poster in the USPol threads who, in 2008, had a relentlessly pessimistic outlook on Obama's chances of winning and took every tiny shift in the polls and every negative news story about Obama as a campaign-ending blow. So, after that, Arzying came to mean unfounded panic that your candidate is going to lose.

Plus, they've known about the emails on Weiner's computer for weeks but Comey decided to sit on that information until Friday. And if he was concerned about it leaking out and making the FBI look bad then he must have no confidence at all in the secret-keeping abilities of the intelligence organization that he runs.

Yeah, all the arzying is absurd. Probably won't be a historic crushing defeat but it's still basically impossible for Hillary to close this election and it's absurd to think otherwise.

I pity the folks who toxxed for senate or house flips though, that's probably gone down the tubes. :v:

I figure the Senate flipping is still possible, but yeah, House was always a pipe dream.

Yeah like, at this point the worst case for Hilldog looks something like this.


NV has a Democratic lead in early voting that would require either ~25% of Democrats jumping ship while Republicans maintain 90% of their party's votes, or a +20 lead among independents for Trump to win. CO has a slight Republican lead in early voting, but historically election day is when CO Democrats turn out. Mitt had a +2 advantage in early voting there but that swung to an overall +5 Obama on election day. Trump has something like a +0.1, so he's toast there.

Even if every other swing state goes red, the firewall's enough for a Clinton victory. There's no other state that really seems like a feasible pickup for Trump.
