Politics Official 2024 Presidential Election Thread

Isn't that what they always complain about George Soros for allegedly doing?

 

Literally talking about turning the military on the "enemy within". Which he defines as Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, etc...

 

I remember the fall of my sophomore year....went around the neighborhood and got trunk loads of political signs.....including blinking constructing signs and put them all in the front yard of a senior kid MARK HANNAH. Guy was like the school soccer star and a jerk to all of us underclassmen. Completely covered his parents well manicured yard. Maybe 50/60 signs! Memories FAMS!

 

So the Democrats or Harris supporters on here are claiming she will win....the rednec......ERRRRRR.....hillbil........ERRRRRRR Republicans on here are claiming Trump is going to win......each posting polls that prove their claims.
Is there historically a poll over the years, that is usually correct with its predictions? Is there a way for those to be shared here daily or whenever they are released. I'm just not sure what to believe day in and day out.

 

I wish I had a snarky answer, but the real fact is that polling has become less and less reliable. Cell phones making it harder to reach people and people don't pick up or return calls from numbers they don't know, especially younger people. Also, like so much else since Citizens United passed, everything is a commodity, including polling -- a lot of polls have popped up over the last few years that lean right, which floods the field and skews the averages.

Also, look at the demographics within some of those polls. When a poll comes out that gives Trump a 3-point lead and he's only trailing by 3 points among women, be skeptical, because virtually ever poll, including the right-leaning ones, have Harris well ahead with that group.

I give the polling a little attention, but the fundraising, early ballot requests by party affiliation, general energy of a candidate's support all are things that might be better indicators. I think also watch the candidates themselves to see if they seem to be panicking; if a campaign does some extreme about-face or does something that smells really desperate, that might indicate their feeling and internal polls tell them they're in trouble.

 

Saw a feature on NBA players who are $100,000 plus donors to Harris. Dame, Durant, Steph Curry, LeBron among others. All Black men.

 

Soros is doing it for the tax break.


Oh wait

 

Disgusting fake story about Governor Walz traced to same Russian troll farm that invented fake story that Harris critically injured a woman in hit and run.
Video showed a young man claiming he is Black and gay, giving his name, and alleging Coach Walz molested him in high school. He said he was closeted, Walz threatened to out him and he was terrified of his parents knowing.
The young man named is alive and well. He said that isn't him in the video, Walz never molested him, and he was out about being gay in high school. And his parents were supportive.

 

Polls don't really tell us much. The main thing is turnout. Which party can best motivate their voters to turn out and actually vote.

 

Libs have all the time in the world to vote because none of them have jobs.
