Lol.  Teamsters President on Trump's stage complimenting his running mate.  

Ha, ha, ha. ha.....  How bad does a Democrat have to be for that to happen for the first time ever?

Murphy said that if Menendez refuses to step down, he will call on the Senate to vote to expel him.

Well, as someone in the middle class...  my Federal taxes would go up around $5K per year under this Project 25 nonsense.

I'm at the point now where I'm almost looking forward to a few years down the road when people start having their "oh shit, what have we done?" moments. By then it'll be late so I'll probably just get smug.

I dont get it.  If your combined income is less than $168K, which is most people I think...  you are going to see a pretty big increase in taxes, while people above $168K are going to get huge cuts.  

Why are people making less than $168K wearing red hats and travelling to these rallies like dead heads?  Also contributing money to this campaign?

Yeah I mentioned this in another thread. 538's model accounts for other things outside of just polling. Trump pulled ahead last week and Biden has since retaken the advantage. 

I saw a lot of people saying that the failed assassination attempt was going to cement the win for tRump. I don't think so. He's still a piece of shit and Vance is just going to add to the smell.

it isn't going to seal trump's win. the only people supporting him are maga republicans and people that dislike dems. it is not like regular people are going to throw him a sympathy vote after everything he has said and done the last 9 years.

Now his supporters will super-duper vote for him.  You can't stop that momentum.  Word is, several of them will be putting flags on boats.  That's usually good for 5% improvement at the state level.  Unstoppable.  

Maga boaters with maga flags have their votes counted 100x, dontcha know? (joking)

I am very much sure that people who will end up voting for Joe Biden are telling pollsters that they won't to send a message, whether it be about Gaza or old age or something else. Now, the question is, why aren't they being listened to?

I was thinking about this silent voter phenomenon thing recently. There used to be silent Trump supporters 4 and 8 years ago. I wonder if the reverse might be true, to an extent, this time around...

I believe this is definitely a thing.  Over the past 8 years, I have grown very reluctant to show my political preferences to anybody.  

It seems like people who like Trump increasingly flaunt it and seem very eager just to work Trump into daily conversation

Two threads are now in timeout. Do not start new ones. Take some time to think and let any anger ease. President Biden calls for unity and that's an important thing for our country...not easy, but vital.  Talking about each other will result in bannings.
