Ya she's ahead still in every swing state, with comfy margins in states that add up to well over 270 EV Rasmussen just had a ridiculous tracker poll but if tracking polls aren't entirely stupid and pointless then this election hasn't done much to disabuse me of this belief

She's so scandal plagued that they can't find anything else to talk about re: her scandals except for the one thing a majority of Americans are sick of hearing about If they get so many complaints that they stop on their own and Clinton refuses to give them more ammo, what do they do? Haha trick question the media will never stop talking about emails

APHC exists to cater to people who have a compulsive desire to be soothed and it fills this niche masterfully. It doesn't do a whole lot else. I think it's dull as poo poo and can't stand it but I can see how someone could enjoy it I guess

The only truly awful, garbage-tier poo poo NPR has is their election coverage and this one time I tuned in and it was some show that was literally just wall to wall rich people chatting about their favorite places to vacation. It was the worst thing I've ever heard in my entire life and to this day I can't imagine a more terrible premise for a show, which may be why I've never heard it again

I don't like it though. The press has proven many times that they have no intention of being fair or not holding Clinton to ridiculous double standards. I'd rather she just keep blowing them off instead of inviting a bunch of people paid by Zucker and Murdoch to dig through her trash cans for anything they can find

Lightning Knight posted:She is but she's running on a more progressive platform than Bill ever did because she responds to voter demands like a professional politician should. She's not a proper leftist or anything but what she's running on is far and away better than any other options. Best part is that "they" probably mean the Koch brothers, if it's a campaign ad It's funny how Clinton and Trump are the worst but Johnson is great, but as soon as you ask them what they like or explain his frankly disastrous tenure as NM gov it's hands clapped on ears. This is, of course, why 3rd party candidates always poll like 6-8x higher than their final turnout ends up being, because none of their supporters actually intend to go out and vote for them. They just want to feel above it all

size1one posted:I'm trying to imagine a scenario where Trump wins the debate. He cannot go head to head with her on policy. His vague proposals will not stand up to scrutiny and so all she has to do is press for details. His only hope is to catch her off guard and break her concentration. He'd have to say something offensive enough to trip her up, but not so offensive that it actually costs him votes. You know she's prepping for emails, benghazi, and every other Clinton scandal. I've got nothing. He doesn't throw up and because he has cleared the extremely low bar he was given, he will be declared the winner. Most people don't watch the debate and just get their opinion of it from the press the next day so what actually happens during it doesn't really matter

Shimrra Jamaane posted:A lot of people are going to watch this live. And if it were true that everyone just deferred to the media narrative with these things than how come it was nationally recognized that Trump's RNC speech was so bad and the entire DNC was propelled Hillary's numbers into orbit? The press the day after Trump's speech were largely saying it was ghastly, dark, and scarily authoritarian. Clinton did get a big, long lasting boost from the DNC that has faded a bit nationally, but since then she has put NH and CO and VA into "for sure" territory. I'd say that's a pretty big boost. size1one posted:Most elections aren't even remotely this contentious. I think a lot of people will tune in hoping to see the train wreck. Maybe, but even best case scenarios will have half of the future electorate watching even a minute of it. Where do the other half get their opinions of it from?

Evangelicals will turn out bigly for Trump because they're all about white supremacy, and so it Trump, but Romney wasn't. If Romney had promised to bring back the days where any colored who dared question them or try to vote or stand up for themselves would end up from a tree with lots of smiling white faces surrounding them they would've turned out for him too Trabisnikof posted:I wonder how many people actually think Clinton is lying about her stance on CU.

It's always fun seeing Evangelicals who spend a lot of time on the grift circuit step out of the bubble for the first time, where they can be questioned or made to look unflattering and they do not have the recourse of ostracization Same thing happened to Friend Ben in the primary when he first started getting scrutiny

It's probably the first unless they're anticipating enormous amounts of Democratic votes being driven out to the boonies and burned by desperate state GOP parties, which if that's the case they need to be honest I lean toward the former tho because they changed it without telling anybody and it took weeks to get the new info out of them. Of course they're the media so obviously they can't do anything wrong

Also lmao talking about automation on labor day weekend? Disrespectful. Here I'll join you: If poo poo gets bad enough my plan is to smash up robots and wreck up any factory that uses them overwhelmingly because automation is wrecking the playing field in America more than anything else and it's abundantly clear that poo poo all is going to get done unless automation is given some extra costs to factor in before everybody gets laid off. edit - the extra costs are the costs of replacing the machine a few times if it's located near enough angry unemployed people

If suddenly there's nobody driving trucks, it means there's going to be an extra person at drat near every stop that truck has to help unload it which is just one of a hundred things other than drive that a truck driver does. That's a huge net gain in employment, but realistically it just means the companies will keep their drivers on because the "free" labor of the driver for the business will land them more contracts and they'll be saving more than the driver's salary in insurance costs by having a human on board We're talking about an industry that still hasn't come to terms with red cars
