    Is there any sanction that gets enforced?

    Does the police even come?

    Did shops board up/close down, or not?

    I have to think the Trump camp feels like they dodged a bullet (as it were) with this pick.

    Genuine question, where do you draw the line for yourself?

    Up to your sudden extreme enthusiasm for Kamala, you didn't seem like an ultra leftist poster. Clearly very interested in and motivated by race-related questions, but fairly reasonable otherwise.

    Would you mind naming a few things you would consider "too leftist"?

    3 for 3 on the useless posts

    seems u just want to argue, there’s no other reason you’d quote me talking about 1980

    your low IQ posts aren’t creative enough to go back and forth on, sorry…won’t even bother reading whatever dumb sh*t u reply with next

    back to more interesting conversations

    I don't think so. Walz has the least amount of baggage among the potential picks. Shapiro would have been too decisive. Pete being gay may not have played well in some areas, even in 2024. Newsom wasn't going to happen.

    What the Trump camp has to hope for is Kamala shows her ass starting with her first TV interview she gives as nominee (whenever that happens) and the debate (whenever that happens). I think the VP debate could actually be a win for Vance as he isn't as bad of a speaker as I thought. Trump has to promise to get things back to the 2016-era economically while Kamala has to tell folks the falling economy she was apart of will be fixed under her complete watch

    Look at this fool replying back then tries "dropping the mic" saying he won't reply again after already doing so several times. You just don't got shyt, that's why your posts are all tweets. Don't reply boy, I'll have the last word

    Where the Race Stands

    August 6, 2024 at 10:21 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 665 Comments

    Here are the FiveThirtyEight polling averages this morning:

    • National: Harris +2
    • Michigan: Harris +2.1
    • Wisconsin: Harris +1.6
    • Pennsylvania: Harris +1.1
    • Nevada: Harris +0.3
    • Georgia: Trump +0.7
    • North Carolina: Trump +1.0
    • Arizona: Trump +1.9


    So these are the "numbers" - and the election is months away and there will be at least one or two more swings in momentum. Plus there can be dirt that comes out over Harris or the economy could go up or down.

    Still - I think the most surprising thing is that these numbers appear to validate all those that said that the American people really just didn't like Biden and Trump and REALLY did not want a repeat performance from 2020, where to unpopular former President's would be on the menu.

    Looking at the numbers, I am surprised that Harris is ahead in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. I guess there are enough older leaning democrats that can carry the day when two candidates are close. The margins in all of these states is close - I cannot see Harris winning in Nevada, and if she does - then she likely wins comfortable.

    The one state that I expect will be closer than anyone expects in Georgia. There are a lot of minorities and young single women in Georgia, and the rhetoric from Trump and Vance will not play well with them.

    Also - the state with the highest percentage of single adults? Pennsylvania

    Also, given that every tweet from that account has fit the psychological profile of "projecting" or just has total "Freudian slip" tendencies... apparently this is what team trump truly thinks about the heartland states, which is really the only base that will buy this stuff without question.

    At least its better than the gaslighting tweet... where they were literally gaslighting by complaining about the other party gaslighting.

    I don't know much about him. Have watched some interviews and video clips. Seems like a nice guy. But aligning himself with Ilhan Omar and his legislative and voting record are no-nos for me.

    I would have agreed with you a few months ago. but like everything else about the race, the dynamic has shifted.

    Jobs > Dobbs.

    all these metrics are positive for the Dems; a month ago, they were all negative.

    while polls do not tell the whole story, over time, they do show a trend.

    the Dem have managed to reverse a negative trend, not good for the 78-yr old convicted felon

    I want to believe, however, it's hard to expect Harris to carry this state. Stacy Abrams will have to put in some real work to help Democrats pull off another upset. Trump is attacking the governor over there, so maybe that works against him as well? I would like to believe but I don't see it happening.

    I think this is a good pick, I did some research on him when you first brought up his name when all this started. I think we could all find a strength and weakness with any of the picks, but he seems like your good old midwestern dude who CARES about the people in his state. After living in Omaha for 10 years, there are more good folks in the midwest than anywhere else I have lived, hell if it wasn't for Winter and my job I would still be there :D My hope for Harris and Walz is high, but this is going to be a fight, Biden barely beat him and so many people have forgotten what the first trump term was like and to many people want to forgive EVERTYHING trump has done so there PB and Jelly are .50 cents cheaper, and while I get that point I do see prices coming down slowly, gas is at a good place and if the Fed would drop the Interest rates we can land this plane

    Trump can still win this so it's imperative the next 90+ days the Dems get out in force and that last 30 days needs to be the momentum builder. I can honest see this going several ways, Harris in a landslide if woman simply won't vote for him and the turnout is a record number of voters, I can see trump squeaking out a win if a swing state or two goes his way and the same can be said for Harris. The one scenario I don't see (and I could be wrong) is trump in a landslide

    The voters have to get out, we can't sit on the sidelines. And just to see the orange man`s head explode, the week of the election I need to see Taylor Swift - Beyonce-Megan the Stallion and anyone else who can join to have a big ass concert for Harris and Walz and then let the twitter wars begin as they call on their fans to get out and vote :D

    What have I posted that could be construed as ultra leftist? I simply do not care about the culture war BS and think it’s garbage. I also despise MAGA and what the republican party has become. I am disgusted every time I see them embrace confederate flag waivers, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists. I am disgusted with the rhetoric they commonly spew now. I am done with their refusal to even try and govern. They are the type to vote against capping insulin costs. Why? Because the Dems proposed it. They shoot down a bi-partisan border bill. Why? Because Trump said so

    I used to have respect for some republicans. If Mitt Romney had won in 2012, I would not have even minded for example. I had respect for John McCain, he was a good man. But now? The republican party is an anti-American cult. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think republicans, the party of family values and accountability, would embrace a candidate like Trump or storm the Capitol.

    Was I ever in favor of “defund the police?” No. Do I want to see their immunity stripped away and them be held accountable for their wrongdoings? Yes.

    Have I advocated for reparations? No. Do I want to see a lot more money invested in black communities and black businesses that have been historically ignored and discriminated against? Yes

    Am I in favor of abortion bans? No. Do I think someone should have a late-term abortion when it’s not absolutely medically necessary like republicans love to claim Democrats are in favor of? No

    Do I think guns should just be taken away? No. Am I in favor of universal background checks and red flag laws? Absolutely

    Am I in favor of paid family and sick leave? Yes. Does that make me ultra-leftist?

    As a former part-time Georgia resident, I can say attacking Kemp will matter absolutely little for the voters there. Kemp is popular statewide for sure since he guided the state very well during the pandemic and it is healthy economically, but we won governorship because Stacy Abrams was not popular anywhere outside of inner city Atlanta and a few spots here and there around the state. The Republicans could have put almost anyone against her and they would have won both times.

    I love Stacy and I think she is about to go into BEAST mode on the state..................we will need her and her team kick this into overdrive, GA is going to be hard but thank goodness we have an honest GOP governor (I really mean that) as I don't trust any state with a maga as governor
