Please remember… national polls mean nothing as we do not have national elections!
I’m pretty positive this is a bullshit meme and that bloomberg poll was from mid June of 2016.
The polls tightened at the end, especially following Comey’s October Surprise.
Nevertheless, we should fight like we’re 10 points behind.
See above I posted the article to the Bloomberg poll from October 16th that showed Clinton up 9 points.
That was before Comey “re-opened” the hEr EmAiLs case though.
This whole cycle is giving me huge 2016 flashbacks.
The race is significantly tighter than in 2016, at least per the polling. Mostly, people are excited because its such a vast improvement from the Biden polls that had Trump winning in a landslide.
But folks on Lemmy don’t realize how hard-in-the-paint rightwing talk radio is currently going for Trump. The degree to which “Haitian migrants eating your dog!” and “Venezuelan terrorists have seized a condo in Colorado!” rhetoric has inundated the discourse can’t be overstated. People are taking this shit seriously and sincerely thanks to the breathless bombardment of migrant panic stories crashing over the news networks like a tsunami.
If I didn’t know better, I might suspect there’s a collaboration among arch-conservative megadonors and media organizations to saturate news networks with this fearmongering. I can’t think of any instance in which a news network spewing anti-immigrant sentiment to whip locals into a panicked frenzy has ever happened before, or what the consequences were, but I’m sure that’s not what is happening this time and even if it is everything will be fine.
Thank the deregulation of the 80’s and 90’s, coupled with the internet making it easier than ever to access anything and everything.
It used to be that spreading falsehoods or political bias on network TV or the airwaves via radio could get your station’s license revoked by the FCC. But Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine, and with that out of the way, there were no barriers for Rush Limbaugh and similar ilk to make more money by saying whatever kept the hyper-conservative, over-religious pearl clutches tuning in.
"In 1969, the court “ruled unanimously that the Fairness Doctrine was not only constitutional, but essential to democracy. The public airwaves should not just express the opinions of those who can pay for air time; they must allow the electorate to be informed about all sides of controversial issues.”
That’s how it started. I kept reading and it dawned on me how important it is to re-read what was learned in history class.
Fuck, why is it that almost everything that is bad in the US can be traced back to Reagan. It’s unbelievable
But Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine
I have mixed feelings about the Fairness Doctrine, because the practical consequence of the rule only ever seemed to give you a narrow “moderate liberal says X, moderate conservative says Y” corporately approved view. Hard to look at the modern media landscape and think to myself “Damn, if only we had more episodes of Crossfire to fix this”.
But yes, after the Fairness Doctrine, you saw an absolute flood of Rush-tier content that could blast uncontested bullshit all over the airwaves endlessly. The FCC went limp and allowed this to roll over the country.
I might also through in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which started a Katamari-esque consolidation of local radio and tv networks into the modern Clear Channel and Sinclair Media mega-monopolies. A big reason why Rush was a household name by the late '00s stemmed from all these local stations being force-fed his syndicated content, which was blasted practically 24/7 in rotation with a handful of other right-wing talking heads. This guy was cranking out three hours of content a day five days a week, and the shows would play back-to-back on a loop morning, noon, and night.
You’re spot on that it wasn’t perfect, and it especially falls apart when you look at the politicization of science and objective facts. E.g. climate change should not be a debate, so there should be no obligation to humor a talking head with an R next to their name who is there to “refute” climate change every time a story is run about it.
So on principle, I can’t say I love the idea that the Fairness Doctrine required a good bit of oversimplistic “both sides” nonsense. But in practice, it wasn’t the media personalities spreading politicized pseudoscience who ended up deplatformed with the law’s removal—the opposite ended up happening. Having realized that sensationalism sells, the “alternative facts” crowd are now the only voice in the room for a lot of clueless people. And I think that’s the outcome Republicans wanted when they did away with it.
In the absence of a better system today, I can’t say I wouldn’t like to see it make a return. I’d prefer it if there was still a legal obligation for all of these media outlets to platform at least one sane person.
Also right that it wasn’t just the removal of the Fairness Doctrine that led to where we are now, appreciate the other examples (and for a bit of a twist, it was under the Clinton administration that the Telecommunications Act was signed).
Yeah. 2016 was traumatic AF. Let’s be careful out there!
Pokemon Go to the polls
I’m waiting on my ballot here in Germany
I said a ton for the 2020 election, and will scream it until my lungs give out for this one…
…anything other than vote for Harris is a vote for the orange turd. And with the crap they’ve already passed coupled with the shit that’s been leaked…there is a good chance that if she doesn’t win this may be the last free election
You’re making it sound like one of the candidates wants to dismantle the american quasi-democracy and rule as a dictator, where on earth did you get that idea?
What, just because one of the candidates has loudly and proudly proclaimed that they indend to start their term by ruling as a dictator?
And because that same candidate has said “In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”?
I mean iirc Hilary won the popular vote, no? The issue is our dumbass electorial college situation
The Republicans have won the presidency three times this century, but have only won the popular vote once, on George W. Bush’s second campaign in 2004. The Electoral College screwed us over in 2000 (Bush vs Gore) and 2016 (Trump vs Clinton).
The Deomocrats have also won the presidency three times this century, but also carried the popular vote every time they did. (Also, every time they won, Joe Biden has been on the ticket…)
That’s not getting better anytime soon. Best we can do for now is to mobile voters and squelch apathy.
At local levels find candidates that support RCV reform if you want real change.
Yeah, by less than 3 million. 2016 was the biggest presidential punt of all time. Think of how different the world would be now if she hadn’t taken that victory for granted.
Yes and No. Yes she won the popular vote, by close to 3 million, but No not in the “swing states” that had been considered “safe”. A margin of 10,000 votes in
WisconsinMichigan? Something like that. Anyway, part of that was Democrats seeing she’s a shoo-in and not bothering to vote.You Could Fit All the Voters Who Cost Clinton the Election in a Mid-Size Football Stadium
This latest number comes from Decision Desk’s final tally of Pennsylvania’s votes, where Trump won 2,961,875 votes to Clinton’s 2,915,440, a difference of 46,435 votes. Add that to the official results out of Wisconsin, where Clinton lost by 22,177 votes, and Michigan, which she lost by 10,704 votes, and there you have it: 0.057 percent of total voters cost Clinton the presidency.
Electoral College is absolutely the Fuckery Factor though, that’s true.
Total side note because I could find anything on it. Why is it “Get Out The Vote” and not “Get Out To Vote”?
The popular one doesn’t seem to make grammatical sense, is this some older form of grammar hanging around in a popular slogan?
“Get out to vote” means you personally should go and vote.
“Get out the vote” means you should get everyone else out to vote. “Vote” is being used as a mass noun that you want to make as large as possible.
Oooooooooh, yes thank you. This will stop bothering me now 😌
If only the popular vote mattered…
Hillary wasn’t focused on the electoral college, she cared about beating Obama’s vote totals to “prove” she should have beat him. So she prioritized the popular vote when campaigning, causing idiots to think she was going to win. Because normally if popular is that high. It’s implied battlegrounds are safe too. Because that’s the metric that matters and what campaigns should be focusing on.
Hillary just skipped caring about battlegrounds, went straight to popular, and declared that made her winner…
Like, statistically the NFL team that wins the Super Bowl is the one that scores the most touchdowns. But if one team scores 1 TD and the other gets 17 field goals, the team with the most TDs lost.
She focused on correlation, not causation.
Because of that trump became president.
Blame anyone dumb enough to give a shit about a national poll a week out from an election. Then realize a lot of Clinton’s 2016 campaign people are inexplicably now running Kamala’s campaign and the DNC.
We need to get rid of all those people who haven’t understood American politics for decades, they’re just the only other option besides trump so it still works despite them sometimes.
But they clearly have no idea what the fuck they’re doing.
Hillary wasn’t focused on the electoral college, she cared about beating Obama’s vote totals to “prove” she should have beat him.
She came up about 8M votes short from Obama’s big 2008 win. If she’d been aiming for that high bar, she missed it by miles.
Ironically, it was Biden who cleared it handily (with Trump coming in at historic-high second place) in 2020 thanks to mail-in voting boosting turnout nationally by nearly 20M votes. Of course, both parties immediately shut that shit down, lest Americans get used to the idea of convenient, accessible popular voting. The Trump/Biden Post Office under DeJoy has been dismantling the very idea of mail-in voting for the last four years.
I suspect 2024 turnout will be significantly lower across the board.
We need to get rid of all those people who haven’t understood American politics for decades
I totally disagree. We could use a lot of new blood, with people who aren’t resigned to the cynicism of the bi-annual election cycle. The folks who don’t simply submit to the psychic pressure of this heavily propagandized and chronically demoralized election waves are exactly the kinds of people who could break it.
Trump’s biggest triumph in 2016 was bringing out conservatives who had otherwise never voted. People who were too depressed by the duopoly to show up came out in droves during the GOP Primary to support their Big Wet Boy. That kept Ted Cruz out of the White House (which I’d argue would have been far worse for the country in the long run) in 2016.
Sander almost replicated the feat against Hillary that same year, but got kneecapped by a media that was hostile to the very idea of Socialism. But if you want any kind of progressive change in America in your lifetime, you need to see Democrats undergo the kind of change that the GOP has undergone, but from the left.
You need more people who aren’t consigned to voting Joe Biden mechanically every four years, even as he’s falling apart in front of your very eyes. You need more people who want to shake up the party establishment and vote out the rotten incumbents. You need people who actually believe what these candidates are saying, rather than accepting a basket of lies at face value and shrugging when the candidates fail to deliver.
But we can’t go into 2030 with a population of voters who just accept the status quo as the best they’ll ever do.
Of course, both parties immediately shut that shit down, lest Americans get used to the idea of convenient, accessible popular voting.

Trump looks so young in this photo, I forgot.
I already know how this will pan out. Trump will lose the popular vote but get the electoral college - or at the very least claim to.
The fact that even polling is so close is tremendously disappointing. In 2016 people could claim ignorance on how a Trump presidency would play out. No one has that excuse in 2024 anymore.
I pray for the US of A but I’m afraid the battle was already lost long ago. All of this is just for optics. Illusion of choice and all that.
I’m afraid it’s going to be very, very messy, as every red state will call into question any results other than Trump winning.
If you use mail-in voting in Pennsylvania, PA supreme Court ruled that ballots with missing or invalid dates on the envelope can be thrown out.
You can track mail-in ballots here:

That poll was taken in June, but I agree with the message.
This says October 19th 2016
