  1. I hate to stereotype but I feel like one of those demographics is more reliable than the other; still it would be great if young people found some of their power in this election.

  2. Women have spent our entire lives cleaning up the messes of men.

    TL;DR Being a woman is fucking exhausting

  3. Yeah I agree. Especially considering that people seem to be enthusiastic for this race.

    Look I know that we have learned that we should not go in all cocky when it comes to the debate, but let’s be honest, Trump is becoming less and less coherent with his speech and more and more low energy with each and every day he’s on the news. Tulsi Gabbard herself warned him that Harris was not to be underestimated.

    In the last debate, despite the vile things he was saying, Trump at least had some form of coherency to his speech. Nowadays, not so much.

  4. Pennsylvania is such a weird and uncomfortable place right now, in terms of polls. Even within the same poll, Michigan and Wisconsin will be, say +4 to +6 like in the recent CNN poll, but Pennsylvania will be tied. For some reason PA is far, far closer in polls than the other Midwest Blue Wall states.

    My wife is from PA and is confident it will go to Democrats again this year but neither of us can explain the weird polling. This is a state that elected two Democrat senators and a Democrat Governor that was nearly VP for Harris.

  5. IMO the youth vote will weigh heavily in this election. If they show up, Kamala should win easily.

    It just boggles my mind that there are this many people that still support Donald fucking Trump. Does anyone remember the early days of r/the_donald? This fucker was a meme candidate. How did it get this far?

  6. I like to think Trump spells trouble for Trump.

    He’s going to get blown out in November.

    Bet the house.

    If this is true (as in, it outpaces new registrations from +R demographics), it might be a real sign of a polling miss in favor of democrats. In 2020, one of the biggest red flags was that the GOP was registering shitloads of voters in swing states, especially florida.

    I have a good feeling about this election. I’m thinking this will be a landslide victory for Harris.

    I’m more worried about the legal challenges and what Trump and the GOP may be willing to do to overturn the results. They may even rig states like Georgia so Harris couldn’t win. I mean they have shown us they do not respect the will of the American people.

  9. Come on wonderful Pennsylvania!!! It’s close so please be sure to check on your friends and ask if they are registered to vote! Stakes are high!!!

  10. Pennsylvania is the state that matters the most, and it’s not close. If Harris carries WI and Michigan (which she probably will) Pennsylvania gives her 270. And GA, NV, AZ and NC don’t matter. If she losses Pennsylvania, she’ll have to win 2 or 3 of the others, which she probably won’t. So it’s all down to Pennsylvania.

    Breaking News: a 5 person Republican voter election panel in Georgia has sued the state of Pennsylvania.

    One panel member was quoted saying, fuck Pennsylvania, were gonna steal this election.

  12. Just a FYI

    Pole from yesterday shows birth Texas and Florida split within margin of error. 

    I can’t imagine either going blue, but it would be glorious if Texas went to Kamala; and a slap in the face to Trump if Florida did.

    Black women out here saving the republic once again. I’m looking at you Stacy Abrams, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman….

  14. I know this is a pipe dream. But I would love to see the US turn blue. Really show just how sick we are off all the stupid games.

  15. Please, please, please. You’re probably some of the most important people in the country/world right now.

  16. Remember, he pulled almost all of the GOP’s war chest into just two states: Pennsylvania and Georgia, betting it all on [just barely clearing 270 electoral votes.](https://www.270towin.com/map-images/pV3bY)

    If he loses Pennsylvania, or Georgia, or if NC flips, that’s it. So this is really bad news for Trump.

  17. “More people voting is bad for republicans!”

    This should tell everyone what they need to know….
