“Plenty” was not enough. The pre-election criticism looks like it worked exactly as intended.

Which non voters are you talking about? The article is about politically engaged voters and voters who don’t follow politics, both of which are voters.

You have to understand, the people who constantly attacked Harris before the election now have to figure out some way to make her just as bad as Trump, to excuse their own behavior. Is it disgusting? Yes. Is it reprehensible? Yes. Is it absolutely predictable as a means of trying to escape responsibility for the rancid shit hurricane that will be Trump Part 2? Yes.

Shifting blame by… checks notes… analyzing the demographics of voters.

Not yet. Not for a little while. First, a few things have to happen:

• When the Department of Education is obliterated and schools nationwide collapse, it will also cause economic turmoil, because a lot of MAGA idiots work for federally-funded school systems in red states. They just voted to have themselves fired.
• The inevitable nationwide ban on abortion will kill a lot of women who believed it wouldn’t happen and voted for him - despite how much he bragged about killing Roe.
• Measles, mumps, and rubella will all make startling comebacks as vaccination plummets. Seriously guys, get vaccinated while you can. Oh, and COVID-19 is going to have a massive resurgence once RNA-based vaccines are banned in the United States.
• With the purging of civil servants from the FBI, the IRS, and various other letter agencies, we’re going to have a giant, stupid government staffed primarily by incompetent sycophants. Expect actual, productive work associated with any of them to grind to a halt. Expect the FBI to expend resources needlessly investigating whoever Trump hates at the moment. Expect the IRS to make mistakes that aren’t in your favor, and you can’t do anything about.
• Infrastructure week will forever be in the future, while actual infrastructure will be falling apart due to lack of funding. This problem will be felt the most in red areas, despite efforts to punish blue ones for voting for Harris.
• If you receive health care through the Affordable Care Act and you’re MAGA, you’ll be very surprised to learn that “Obamacare” was another name for it, and that you’ve just lost your health care. [insert “congratulations, you played yourself” meme here]
• You think things are expensive now? The inevitable flood of tariffs, with no adults in the room to tell Trump it’s a stupid idea, will jack your prices up enormously. If you thought COVID-19 inflation was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
• The deeply, deeply stupid MAGA people who believed that Trump would leave their LGBTQ+ friends - well, former friends - alone will find out the hard way that voting to remove people’s rights is a good way to make them disown you.

After things are going really, really badly, and there are only Republicans in government to blame, a few will begin waking up and realizing they’ve been had.

And by then, it will be too late.

This is exactly what I was saying months ago. And it’s absolutely going to happen now. The entire region is going to plunge into chaotic war, and Putin couldn’t be happier.

How so? Be specific.

No they fucking didn’t.

I’m sure my LGBTQ+ kids can see the difference. Why can’t you?

Yup. With the high likelihood that Republicans get the trifecta, this country is about to become a lot more dangerous for my kids, both LGBTQ+, because dipshits believed that a “businessman” whose businesses all fail is good for the economy.

Honestly, with all the news showing how poll herding has been happening, I think it’s quite likely she sweeps the swing states. I’m less nervous now than I was a few days ago.

Just listened to Selzer break down her methodology in clear, simple terms. I’m starting to think the polling error this cycle is pretty big, and Harris is going to win handily.

I’m strongly in favor of 117. I like 118 in theory, but after reading it, I voted against it, because I think the end result would be to damage small Oregon businesses, while large conglomerates would be fine. I don’t want Walmarts to be the only businesses that can afford to operate here.

Yes, I already said, we know you want Donald Trump elected. He won’t be. Move on.

Yes, we know you want Donald Trump elected. He won’t be. Move on.

If Iowa goes blue, then the election overall is very likely going to be a landslide for Harris.

Whataboutism. Doesn’t directly address the fact that Trump made a death threat.

Predictions:

• The perpetrator is a Republican.
• His excuse will be, “Everyone does it and no one gets caught,” despite getting caught.
• Other Republicans will continue to believe in imaginary Democratic voter fraud, while ignoring instances of actual fraud like this one from their own party members.

Guys, chill. Breathe. Calm the fuck down.

First off, Harris hasn’t been “losing ground” for a month. This change reflects a few tight polls in some swing states, while she’s still ahead of Trump in most of them.

Second, early voting shows ludicrously massive turnout for Harris, something that didn’t happen with Clinton. Harris is not Clinton 2.0, stop pretending she is.

Third - and I can’t believe I keep having to say this - polling is fuuuuuucked right now. None of the pollsters, large or small, know what to do with a young electorate that votes but doesn’t answer unsolicited phone calls or texts. They’re heavily relying on all sorts of assumptions to weight what little data they have, and using lots of focus groups.

Fourth, there is a huge enthusiasm gap, and it’s obvious. Trump isn’t filling tiny venues anymore, while Harris is filling stadiums.

Now is not the time to just give up, all right?

But that doesn’t mean we can rest on our laurels, of course.

If you can, volunteer or donate for the Harris campaign, and definitely vote!
