I got a thousand for a writing party with some volunteers I'm scraping together. Will probably do more after that. I've moved out of state but still have a swing state area code cell number, so I'll be working to cure ballots.

Regarding those (I've started with a mere 300, will sign up for more once these are done); postcard stamp rates go up soon, you can still get these at the lower price. store.usps.com/store/produc...

Two months to labor day and from there there's two more months of the silly season including debate, the 538 polling average hasn't even gotten to April's margins lol

You'd round up to a two point bump but its not actually two points yet

That's what everyone is losing their goddamn minds about, a two point debate polling bump. That's what it is right now. That's what people are losing their goddamn minds over. Its been five days. We've had polls, including day of.

The (not even that old, common for the most reliable voters) line was that the election didn't start till the World Series was over. The World Series is in November now and no one watches baseball anymore, but also fucks sake, it's July, 95% of the country is just sorting out their charcoal choice.

Right now, today, the polling is completely in line with a Biden repeat along roughly 2020 margins and there's honestly no reason to doubt that as the likeliest outcome

It’s fear, shock and horror. The specter of a real second Trump term is anathema to American civics; he should have been stopped at a hundred points. It’s both awful and something that should be impossible. The panic is basically the same as seeing Cthulhu rise from the ocean.

It’s beyond ridiculous and no journalist who is losing their G-damn mind right now should ever work in politics again.

There needed to be five points of movement to Trump with independents. I haven't seen anything close to that. However, replacing Biden doesn't matter at this point. The Imperial Presidency decision will hurt Trump far more than anyone is realizing.

I agree but I'm definitely thrown by how many people are talking like the election has already happened and been lost.

My theory is that people want 1996 again. Remember ‘96? Man, that was an easy election to get through, and basically was over in July.

That's because it's a benefit to many malicious people to spread doomerism thoughts.

At the risk of sounding like a dork: every one of us who cares about the outcome should take responsibility for it. What are we doing today, tomorrow, and in August and September to win? MAGA is voting for their horrific vision of the future. Let’s get every possible president to vote against that.

Possible *person. Stupid autocorrect.
Avatar
All possible presidents too. Like Obama and Bill Clinton, and…well I guess that’s it at the moment.
Avatar
Same. People think you're nuts if you say it though. That's why I'm bookmarking all their doomer posts, in order to remind them.

I really loved doing this to boastful Trumpers in 2020 after it was called for Biden tbqh

Oh I had a whole folder saved up. This is not honorable or mature behavior, but we all need hobbies.

Agreed. But the whackadoodles won't stop. The P2025 boner won't just go away.

The real question is, when will the right wing base wake up? Are the right wing voters really that evil, or just misinformed?
Avatar
Oh, I think they're *into* it. There've been years to disavow this shit.

Many of them definitely are. But I believe there is a tipping point for another large swath of them. The less locked in, less culty. Question is, where is that point?

TBH I think we probably win even if the freakout reaches critical mass and it’s Harris

I both thank you for saying this and would like you to go outside, turn around, and spit, or knock wood, or sacrifice some sort of farm animal. Maybe all of the above.
