Jackson Taus posted:It hasn't been over the last two weeks, it's just gotten press attention the last two weeks. Like the EpiPen and insulin rises have been over the course of years. I didn't notice what set off the EpiPen frenzy, but the insulin one was a result of piggybacking off the press the EpiPen one got. Do I blame Obamacare for the prices going up or thank obamacare for prices not increasing even more?

FairGame posted:Even aside from the numbers, "what about black on black crime" in response to "maybe cops should stop killing black people" is gross. Yes it is, but I am a white man talking to white people about issues that are seen has "minority problems" and have to explain why what other white people are saying is wrong and how our view as white people is skewed. Guns is not an angle I can go at most of the time.

Gyges posted:If Grassley is actually only up 7 points the GOP are turbo hosed in the Senate. He's the bleeding edge of the pipe dream, wish on a star seat flips. There's like 11(?) Republican seats that are more likely to flip than his. He usually wins by 30 or more points. Grassley is fine, but Iowans are a bit pissed he won't do his job. Edit: to be clear this is a bit anecdotal since I do not think they have polled the Supreme Court question since June or July. It is hurting his usually strong support among democrats in Iowa.

CascadeBeta posted:Another thought just occurred to me. There was a poll taken recently, and I don't have it on hand but I know it was posted here, that around 60% of Republicans think the election is going to be rigged against them. If you're so defeatist or a conspiracy theorist or whatever to think your vote is meaningless in the grand scheme of things, why the gently caress would they go out and vote at all? To catch the voter fraud and election rigging at the local Presbyterian church

Kilroy posted:The media can claim Clinton shrinked Trump into a corncob at the debates and it won't move the needle much. Even his supporters don't expect him to do all that well, and Hillary's supporters already expect her to win. So why would anyone change their mind when exactly that happens? The spineless republicans are just lining up behind the orange hate Cheeto. Of course they wouldn't abstain or vote Johnson. They are too greedy and racist themselves.

Augus posted:does Nate ever not say this Not on the podcast. He has consistently said it is only worrying if they get within a certain amount and stay there for a week. They got to the percentages and stayed for a week and he still said it wasn't that bad because she still had the EVs this was before the 26 polls that dropped. He is now bed wetting and saying Dems need to freak out because the trends are very bad for them. Edit: Hillary is still projected at 271 EVs. I'm personally still a little spooked.
