The 2024 U.S. Presidential race

This is soooo good. It made me happy and tear up a little.

Not gonna lie, my first and immediate reaction to the news of this announcement was "No, don't. We can't afford any unforced errors mere days before the election!"

Whew. Not only was it okay, it was funny and sweet.

Canvassers for Elon Musk’s America PAC Were Fired and Stranded in Michigan After Speaking Out

A dozen Black canvassers were tricked, threatened, and driven in seatless U-Haul vans. They were fired after WIRED reported on their plight—some without full pay or a way back home.

I don't watch SNL very often, but I'm glad I watched last night. I actually shed tears of joy!

Trump wants to narrow his deficit with women but he's not changing how he talks about them

When it comes to women, Donald Trump has stuck to a world view in the campaign's final days that his critics consider to be dated and paternalistic.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, at an event with the Republican presidential nominee, likened Trump to an angry father providing tough love to a “bad little girl” who, as Carlson put it, was “in need of a vigorous spanking.”

If you'll excuse me, I need to go throw up now.

Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point, which is playing a key role in the campaign’s get-out-the-vote operation, has said that any man who votes against Trump is “not a man.” Kirk also has said wives who covertly vote for Harris “undermine their husbands” — describing a man “who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have

Hey, Charlie, the Fifties called. They want their misogyny back!

I just pissed in a political canvaser's corn flakes. He came here last night. I told him that I'm leaning toward skipping voting for president and only voting the down ballot this time. Which shocked him. Then, he came back here today to try and convince me that I MUST vote for his candidate. So, I told him he had single handedly convinced me to vote for the other candidate because nobody from that campaign has come here trying to bully me into voting a certain way. I also told him if he comes back here, I'll let my 105 lb very unfriendly mutt out. Snape - God bless him - was standing on his hind legs looking out the window in the door barking - so Mr. Canvas knows that said dog does exist and would like to take a bite out of him.

Besides the empty seats, something else jumped out at me in that video. He said pollsters gave him a 3% chance of winning and Hillary a 97% chance. ...that's not even remotely close to what the polls actually said. They gave him about 9 times that chance of winning.

As I recall, in 2016 Nate Silver put it at something like 72% Clinton vs 28% Trump, which looks like a big gap, but gave Trump a rather better chance than the likelihood of dealing two red cards in succession -- more often than not it won't happen but you won't be terribly surprised when it does.

That was early October. After they reopened the email server investigation there was a shift in polls. If I remember correctly the day before the election it was about 60/40 with most Trump victory scenarios having a victory in the Electoral College while losing the popular vote.
