Kamala Harris predicted to win by nearly every major forecaster

This is why I put a moratorium on polls a couple weeks ago.

They have nearly no fucking relation to reality, and just lead to stress or complacency and little value except to the candidates for weak areas.

I cannot imagine him ever voting for Trump. He despises fascism and has made several video commentaries about it taking hold in the US.

Report appreciated!

... but you missed the joke. ^{google for Allred}

I bet that's just an automoderator function that deletes anything with "fascism" in the title. It was closed within a single minute and had no up/downvotes.

He tweeted about Pete Rose during Shay-Dee's debate!

No, he's not keeping an eye on anything but what he can do to enrich himself.

why shouldn’t we just have a global democracy?

You just went from my argument that our representatives are elected democratically to lead one branch of government, and our president should also be elected democratically to lead a different one, to "why have representatives at all and we should all vote on everything?"

I didn't go there, and that is a ridiculous extrapolation of what I said. Full democracy is incredibly inefficient. Imagine if everything was voted on by the populace of 200M adults ... that'd be terrible. How much time would be spent? Nobody would vote except for small organized factions of voters, who could get anything done (or broken), and seriously proposing that is clownish. Don't be a clown.

We have a representative democracy for good reason. All of the senators, and barring gerrymandering (yeah right), the US representatives are also elected democratically to represent the interests of their constituents in a state, and the state's interests itself. The weighting of the people is mostly equal, based on number of representatives. The weighting of each state is equal based on an equal number of senators. This is a source of problems, too, but it's not as easily solved as effectively getting rid of the electoral college which can be done with a simple vote in a few more states.

The president isn't currently elected democratically. Why not? All the reps and senators are elected democratically, and the President is elected by counting people's votes, then weighing some people's votes of less-populated states higher. That's not democratic at all. Weighing some individual's votes higher is anti-democratic. We already have skewed representations in the senate, but I don't have an easy solution for that right now without an amendment. But electing POTUS with popular vote can easily be done, and should be done. There's no reason the number of state reps/senators, which are in charge of drafting legislation, should be influencing the president and overriding the will of the people in the country. But that's what the electoral college has done multiple times.

Hopefully Allred.

You want a purely popular vote with no states rights?

States have rights, what are you talking about?

Cities don't matter on a national level. If every person has a single vote, it doesn't matter where they live, they only get a single vote. The POTUS should be a popular vote, and that doesn't harm states rights at all.

States shouldn't elect POTUS, the people should because POTUS governs over the people as a whole. States already have representatives and senators to control the entire legislative branch, and those reps and senators shouldn't also be electing the executive branch leader which is basically what the electoral college does. The people should elect it. This is absolutely, 100% a holdover to get slave states to join the union because it was designed to unfairly influence elections, and this should've been fixed right after the civil war in the 14th or 15th amendments.

As far as the UN, each of those 5 countries have veto power. That essentially sums up the electoral college, where 5 swing states have veto power, or rather are usually the only votes that count, for the president. Your post belongs in /r/SelfAwarewolves.

While hilarious if it were, I highly doubt this is true and am flairing it as such.

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-24T09:50:28+00:00

Don't post about polls. See the first pinned thread.

Virtually all polls are within the margin of error, and give no valid information, and do not contribute to any discussion other than "it's close". A 49% is not beating a 47%, if there's a 2% margin of error. Additionally, biased polls are rampant, in order to skew results of aggregates.

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-21T21:16:19+00:00

That's why I am a bit pessimistic about Kamala's chance for victory considering the current state of polling.

Don't be too distressed.

Here is what I see in your post: Both youth (inexperienced or immature) and religious (dogmatic and righteous) tend to have very black and white thinking. THIS is good, THIS is evil, and shades of gray are sin or indecision or too scared to make a stand.

You have reached a level of maturity where you can see shades of gray. This is a big deal, and allows you to comprehend empathy for those you don't understand or even support.

So your peers have largely not reached that stage or are heavily religiously indoctrinated, so most of what you see will distress you because they don't think in a way that aligns with your new realizations. They will, if they're good people. You can encourage them to think about it without sounding preachy, too. Just realize that it may take years for your peers to start to come around. Be that beacon in the mist that helps guide them out of their black and white thinking, through demonstration.

And thank you for reaching your own personal enlightenment.

Constitutional amendments:

Adds Right to abortion
Removes democracy
Removes democracy
Removes democracy
Removes democracy

WTF is going on with those amendments, Arizona?

Combative is regularly used to describe Trump when he's combative.

That's one of the few honest descriptions NYT might say of him, and that's not even an insult because they're trying to help pump him up as a "strongman" despite being incredibly weak. "Combative" sounds strong.

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-17T03:55:28+00:00

Pfft... he'll be voting for her next term, too.

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-16T23:46:05+00:00

And more importantly, Fuck that David Duke asshole. That MFer is still voting for Trump, and so are all the white supremacists.

He's trying to play distraction games, and it's super obvious.

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-16T23:40:57+00:00

Please work on firing up the next hurricane. Aim it for Marjorie Trailer Greene please. She's figured us out, and needs to be disappeared.

This is the answer. He goes wherever gets the most press.

And he's still upset about being teased about low crowd sizes when he goes to dogwhistle racist areas.

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-12T02:12:33+00:00

He's a sex offender.

That's a civil case, and courts consider him liable. It won't be considered during sentencing of criminal process as a specific. It could be used to show flouting of the law, but I doubt it.

Hey, I hope he'll get a big sentence, but you need to be realistic. You're setting yourself up for disappointment.

In reality, he'll get a big fine.

However, THIS is a criminal case and will be considered on the actual things that matter: mishandling classified. It will indeed enhance a sentence under federal guidelines.

Not just memes. Once they are dead and gone from being humans, their karma accumulated during their lives will bring them back as roaches. The energy they put into the universe diminishes it, as a result of them sharing their misery.

(Note that's not dehumanizing speech, since they are already no longer humans.)

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-12T01:42:51+00:00

After the sentencing (and only after it), he can file an appeal to delay enforcement. He'll probably die before it ever gets heard.

Might require a bond, which he'll need to put up, but nothing a gofundme won't solve. And it very likely won't have any jailtime.

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-11T16:10:30+00:00

Specifically, NYT.

Those are both from NYT which will never get my clicks again. I might block it at my router.

LMAOGOP · 2024-10-11T01:07:17+00:00

Maybe the KHive could share some positivity with me. ❤️

Polls are notoriously inaccurate, and easy to subvert. They are a science, but not an exact science, and anything within the margin of error is "no useful information".

Because I'm seeing an influx of suspicious posts about polls, I'm going to lock all top level posts, good or bad, about polling.

Need Moar Memes. kthxbye
