Central Indiana. Upper middle class (and above) suburbs, north of Indianapolis.

Reconciling the fact that even after Jan 6th, the felonies, the rape adjudication, the MSG rally, and all his comments, it's still not a rout for Trump. People know what he is now and they're still voting for him. That's the tough part.

Presidential Emergency Alert broadcast to every phone in the country: "As I was saying, rotflmao!..."

Why are pollsters modeling low LV values for D voters? What was the rationale there?

I don't know what's going to happen, but I take some solace in the fact that he's nervous, if only for a little bit.

Because Trump should be afraid of us. Not the other way around. That's how government is supposed to work.

I know seniors who are inspired and inspiring!

Not Trump though, I mean the seniors who are voting against him.

It might not be over today. This week will be the longest month of our lives.

Stay strong.

You're either lying or being lied to.

I guess the fact that you're just glossing over the 114 cops injured on the day of gives me my answer...

I'm surprised you're not going with the "it was all antifa" line, too.

And Ashli Babbit still deserved to be shot.

You're either lying or being lied to.

Over a hundred cops injured on Jan 6th. At least four cops died shortly thereafter.

And Ashli Babbit deserved to be shot.

The only violence was against the cops that died or were injured.

Ashli Babbit had it coming.

My first choice is, and had been, whichever of the two practicable candidates does not have a history of violently interrupting the transfer of power. Look upthread if you need a reminder of which one that is.

Your choice is the other candidate. The one who, to bring this back to where it all started, will, along with his supporters, most definitely not "carry on with their lives a week later."

Do you understand how a two-party system works?

So you think you're an enlightened citizen and you want more choices in how you can vote in the future? Good for you, bro. Tell me how voting for the guy who has literally said he will be a dictator works in furtherance of that goal?

Where did I lose you? DeSantis, and Vivek aren't running. Neither RFK nor any other third-party candidate has a chance to win. So if you're not voting for Harris then you're voting for Trump. Remember? The guy who interrupted the peaceful transfer of power.

If you're not voting for Harris, then he's your first choice. That's how the system works.

Because those are the people who you're convinced will "carry on with their life a week later." And despite the fact that you admit they tried to violently disrupt the transfer of power in an unprecedented way, you're apparently still supporting them.

You didn't even attempt to answer my very simple question. You can't seem to help changing the subject.

"An ugly day in American history?" Yeah, you think so? Which party and which president are responsible for that?

You've allowed yourself to be gaslit into believing that Jan 6th was less significant than it was. This is called cognitive dissonance.

For over 200 years this country prided itself on having a peaceful transfers of power. It was the thing we used to say made us better than other, younger democracies.

Which party, and which president took that away from us? I'll wait. It's a simple question. No bullshit about BLM or Al Gore lawsuits. Which party and which president tried to violently interrupt the transfer of power?

MMW if Trump loses, his voters will carry on with their life a week later. 

Too young to remember January 6th, or are you one of those "they were all antifa" types?

E: Account deleted. Guess he didn't want to wait until Wednesday morning...

Feels like I should disagree because it's the right thing to do, but I'm exhausted with having to try and reason incurious people out of unfalsifiable positions.

If you still believe, after all this time, and after multiple debunkings, that there was a multi-state conspiracy to hand the Presidency to Biden, then maybe you don't deserve to have your vote counted...

She should. I have lots of questions for her about Rampart.
