He had a "concept of a plan" to bus the events goers. Not cool. 

[Thought Art]

@ryandesreu It's mind boggling how people don't see he doesn't care about them.

Trump said he's going on Rogan's podcast and Musk said "It will happen". I guess that means Musk and others are pressuring the shit out of Rogan. Then again, Rogan might have intentionally saved a sit down with Trump just before the election. 

Kamala needs to be doing the same with Taylor Swift or something. Jesus fucking Christ. I hope the Dems have a lot more in store than what they've been showing because if they continue this lackluster trajectory, we're fucked.

@Joshe I don’t think she has a lack luster trajectory.

Latest polls show Harris is up by +3 Nationally and up by only +1 in each swing state.

What's fascinating is that Harris is up by only an incredibly narrow margin. Considering how trump was convicted guilty 34 times, January 6, his serial wife cheating, being impeached twice, COVID denialism, and denying the election results, how is Harris not up by +20? Just the shear fact that Trump was responsible for January 6 and denied the validity of the 2020 election should have made him a National disgrace, but it didn't? How? How is this race close at all? Maybe because of inflation.

@Thought Art She was doing great from July to September but all that momentum seems to have died, while Trump's momentum is growing like crazy. Today's prediction markets are not a good sign.

The top causal factors that come to mind are Christians, toxic masculinity, racism, crypto, anti-woke, Elon Musk + X.com, Fox News, Peter Thiel, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Jordan Peterson, perceived immigrant invasion, anti-transgender/gay. If these things and their like did not exist in their current form, it would be no competition.

@Joshe Different polls float around I think…

Racist, misogynistic, and politicaly ignorant still are many Americans. 

What many people don’t realize about a potential second Trump term is that his new cabinet will be made up of loyalists who will follow his orders with little resistance. In his first term, several cabinet members were fired or resigned after disagreements over actions they believed were unethical. This time, he may choose people more willing to follow his directives. As a result, unpopular actions that were blocked or challenged before will be more easily carried out, raising concerns about abuses of power.

This is insane. Anyone voting for trump is literally clueless...

Despite the doom and gloom you may be hearing over the tightening of the polls, early voter turnout seems to be very high in swing states such as Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, which is great news for Democrats.

Trump is a minoritian candidate who's hit his ceiling as far as people who are willing to support him. Leaving aside the very real possibility of interference by the Supreme Court ala the 2000 election which put George W Bush in the White House, the most likely way that Kamala loses this election is through low voter turnout. When there is high voter participation in federal elections, Democrats tend to win. Larger margins for Harris will greatly reduce the likelihood of election interference.

With that said, this election isn't likely to be a blowout for either candidate, and will be decided by a couple hundred thousand votes by people living in 7 key swing states.

If you live in the United States, make sure that you and everyone in your household and social circles (who haven't thrown their lot in with a fascist) has a plan to VOTE.

I was just watching Morning Joe this morning, and when MSNBC cut to commercial break, this exact ad aired.

They're getting worried.

Funny as hell

This ad is badass. This is what's needed to sway toxic masculine types
