General Politics Discussion VII [ARCHIVED] • Page 1799

Meh interacted with enough stubborn leftists and communists to see why liberals feel that way. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try though.

 

Fox News and social media will protect any Republican from now until that’s solved.

 

Dear Pennsylvania, stop fucking around.

 

jfc

 

Been wondering if this dumb strategy would do anything

 

Yeah I mean Trump's stable approval rating despite everything that's happened this year is why Democrats need to stop trying to court conservatives and center-right swing voters. Anyone that regularly watches Fox News is unreachable. They don't inhabit the same reality the rest of us do. You can't persuade someone that chooses to ingest a right wing media diet over to our side.

 

Nods.

 

This fits right in with this

 

I don't know a lot about polls but I know enough not to freak out over any one individual poll

 

Yeah I mean I was specifically referencing that tweet Jason posted at the end of the last page but definitely. The Right Wing Media Bubble is literally a parallel universe. Trump being at 42% approval despite everything that's happened proves it.

 

Moreover: act like it’s a 4pt race and we know what states we need to win. With that information we have the ability to try and drive turnout and voter persuasion. It’s a small group of states that matter (dumbass system) so it’s at least knowable.

 

The one thing I am really trying to understand is how PA is tightening, yet we are not seeing that in MI or WI. I think typically they those three kind of go together. It is even more confusing with Biden being from PA.

 

Scranton's Favorite Son!

 

We need more quality polls from those states but I would assume they’ll move and tighten as well. Or it could be a RNC bounce and it’ll fade in a week or two.

 

Biden is from PA in the same way Hillary is from IL. He's far more known for representing DE. Not sure it really makes a difference

 

Yap.

 

Still thinking about what tricks Trump + Barr have up their sleeves between now and late October. Just patiently waiting for them to announce an investigation or something.

 

Waiting weeks for the ballots to come in and have that be the map would give me an actual ulcer.

 

Trump would never accept a 270-268 loss lol

 

Expect a court battle in Nebraska’s second district and hanging chads 2.0. It would be chaos.
