I... I keep telling myself to not be surprised by things anymore.

KiteAuraan posted:Yeah, this lovely state may actually flip if the Hispanic community goes out big this year. Doubly so if the Native community decides to say no to Trump. Sun City and the white rural areas aren't going to stop that. Arizona might be really exciting! In Maricopa County, I have high hopes for a new recorder after the fuckup of the Presidential Preference Primary. I spent all day hanging out with voters, and there were a ton of people who were voting for the first time, and said that Trump was their motivation. Several times a car slowly drove by and some guy leaned out the window to yell "gently caress TRUMP!" and got fairly enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. These were different people in different cars, all independently acting. At that location, line was closed at 7. Last vote was cast shortly after 11. People were showing up and being turned away for being late until about 8. People are really loving scared of Trump.

ImpAtom posted:Clinton will probably drop a bit once Trump stops making GBS threads the bed daily. It would be entirely implausible for her lead to remain this large all the way to election day if just because even Trump is unlikely to make mistakes 24/7. No. If Trump's mistakes were video games, this election would be a year long Steam Summer Sale, where every single day you log in and are like "Fallout 4 for $1.33! Sure! Plus the DLC for $0.67." Every single day, over and over again since last year. And you don't ever really get a chance to finish any games because you keep buying more. If he stops loving up, we're gonna look at the backlog and find one or two of the best games and do an elder scrolls style binge.

I've been thinking about this Trump Purple Heart thing. I don't think he can back down, but if he had a shred of common sense, he'd have that medal mounted in a nice display, with a portrait of that veteran. He'd then hang it up in his office in a conspicuous place. Then, he'd arrange for an interview or a photoshoot where you can see it in the background. After that, if necessary, he'd leak to some smaller news site that it's visible, or make some sort of meme about it and get it spread virally. He'd then arrange for someone to ask him about it, and brush it off with something like "Look, I brought it up at my speech because I was blown away by the gesture, but to be honest, this is a personal thing between me and that veteran. I put that up in my office so that I can have a constant reminder of what's really important. If you have a problem with that you can take a hike." But Trump is Trump, so I won't be surprised if he starts trying to collect as many Purple Hearts as possible.

Jill Stein would be able to easily end the vaccine thing by making a statement in support of vaccines without any qualifications or equivocation. Something as simple as: "Vaccines are a critical part of basic healthcare, and I fully endorse the CDC vaccine schedule." She could even do: "I have serious concerns about the influence that industry has within the FDA and CDC, but that should not be interpreted as distrust of vaccines. Vaccinate yourself and vaccinate your children."

Yinlock posted:That would destroy her base though. And why would someone ever put the well-being of children over their personal political agenda? Of course, so she won't do it, so this isn't a bullshit issue. She can put this to rest, she just won't. I'm not going to ask for Jill's vaccine records or proof that she's vaccinated her son. That'd be birther level stuff.

As a person who's won two Precinct Committeperson elections, I've technically won the same number of elections for office as Jill Stein. Edit: To be fair, Lexington has a population of 31,394. My precinct has a population of about 6000 and I only represent Democrats. On the other hand, her election was for one precinct out of 9. so she represents about 3-4000 people.

I wish I'd had access to the member list of a bunch of Bernie Sanders Facebook groups throughout the cycle. I would guess that the more moderate Sanders supporters have been thoroughly scared off from their old Sanders groups by the radical crazies who are basically just posting Breitbart articles and Rothschilds conspiracy stuff.

What gets me excited is the idea that the RNC is going to have to put money into what should be safe states. Arizona should be a state where the Republican candidate can show up, do a photo op with Sheriff Joe and sells shirts at a giant rally. Now it's a battleground and there'll be BLM protestors outside stealing his thunder. This is the best election.

What if instead, I make a facebook group that is mostly people who have similar political views as I do, maybe a youtube channel, a twitter, newsletter etc. Then I announce via all those channels that I'm doing a poll and get 1000 respondents. That's like a 4% error rate if I did my math right!

gfsincere posted:Know who I want to vote for? The person that makes it illegal to discriminate against felons in housing. I know that's a potentially fatal thing for a politician to say, but I can't rent an apartment in Atlanta even though I make 6 figures and have good credit because I punched a cop (while filming them beat a black person they pulled over) 10 years ago. Sorry to vent but that's bullshit and if they love to pull that whole "tough on crime but make it so people who have committed crimes can integrate back into society" bullshit, it needs to be backed by actual policy. I've never had a problem with getting a job. This is literally the first time my criminal record has come up in 10 years. Never had a problem in either Chicago or NYC. Have you talked to a lawyer about your options? Maybe you can get a pardon.

I've noticed that there's billboards from both Castle megastore and Hustler in Phoenix. Hustler's slogan is "Summer just got hotter" Castle's is "If you can't stand the heat, stay in the bedroom." I don't know about anyone else, but when I see "Summer just got hotter" I'm like "gently caress no!" Edit: Thought this was the Phoenix thread. Both stores sell lingerie and other stuff Hustler is a newcomer in the area, they just opened a new store. Castle has been around for a long time.

I don't know what would be funnier: Trump announces his plan, and it truly is a simple, obvious solution that makes total sense now that he mentions it, and we're all baffled as to why we didn't do it in the first place. Or. Donald Trump announces a nuanced, carefully researched plan that clearly shows he has a detailed understanding of the politics involved.
