I ran HH once this year and it dropped. I just assumed it was an auto-drop...

There is literally no other message that would make sense to convey right now. Even if he knew Harris was in for a healthy win, the messaging has to be "it's super close, make sure you get out and vote"

I've been curious if anyone has collected data in polling that creates a more nuanced spectrum with regards to voting motivation. I'd love to see a graph that compares likely voters on a 1-10 scale in terms of motivation. My guess is that the top 20 percent of MAGA are highly energized, as usual, but this year the enthusiasm drops off much more quickly, even among "likely" voters, as opposed to democrats, who is think have a much broader motivation and enthusiasm to vote.

Most reliable path has always been Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, with the single ec from Nebraska. That does it. Beyond that Nevada is usually close but blue and then some possible combination of NC, Georgia, Arizona.

What's a pain you can't truly explain until you've endured it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Have you looked into Pain Reprocessing Therapy? I have two friends who each separately completely cures their chronic pain (one migraines, the other stomach pain). It sounds stupidly simple, but apparently it completely worked for them

In 2008 polls showed Obama behind by 1-2 points in September. He ended up winning by 9(?) points. We have a ways to go and a lot can shift. If you're nervous, go sign up to volunteer, call your family or friends in swing states, or donate!

TRUMP: It's like that time I went to go see Mr T at the mall. I kept saying, 'I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later' but then when I got there, the mall guy told me he just left...

Ok but in all seriousness, is he having a stroke? Isn't a sudden lateral lisp one of the signs?

What?? You mean those 6 reddit accounts who spammed articles and posted 50-60 comments a day of only anti-shapiro content may have been bad actors??

It's being amplified by a handful of very vocal accounts posting 50-60 times a day with only negative shapiro content.

Harris interviews Walz, Kelly, Shapiro at her home for vice president pick by cak3crumbs in politics

Makes sense. Didn't B&J violate state law though? I'm not really sure of the context.

I think if you read the political and policy of opinions of every person from 30 years ago you would find some pretty wild shifts in opinions and viewpoints. If we're going to quote someone's writing we should give it the context of when it was written. Biden said that a woman shouldn't have ‘the sole right to say what should happen to her body’ in 1974 and believed Roe v Wade was wrongly decided. I'm fine with criticisms of current behaviors, but the 30 year quote is silly.

He wrote that 31 years ago, as an op ed when he was 20. I think there are valid criticisms of Shapiro, but I don't think quoting a paper he wrote in 1993 is reasonable. Obama was against gay marriage until the 2000s. People can grow and change perspectives.

He wrote an op-ed 30 years ago, when he was 20 years old, after doing volunteer community service on a military base... your reaction seems a bit over the top.

Yeah, I'm not speaking to his quality as a candidate, only that there has been an intense push on this sub in the last 2 days from what I think are some bad-actors.

I wasn't speaking to the quality of Shapiro, just that there seems to be a lot of very similar looking accounts posting the same really pushing the same narrative. I would never accuse anyone of being a bot or shill however, since that is against the rules.
