In today’s political news, GOP governors are turning their backs on the “Black Nazi” (Mark Robinson); a Fox host says Trump, not Harris, is the obstacle to a Fox-hosted debate; and Harris’s national polling lead has expanded to 7 points.
Doctor Dumbfuck will be quick to point out that national polls don’t matter, that only electoral votes and swing states matter, and the polls undercount Trump’s support (not least because his supporters are lying to pollsters). All of this is true.
But it’s also true that Trump is a corrupt, lying, sack of shit; his running mate is a fascist sack of shit; the 2024 GOP platform is a racist and misogynistic sack of shit; and even Trump’s most ardent fans are walking out of his mind-numbingly boring rallies as he sinks ever deeper into cognitive decline.
If present trends continue, by November 5, Harris could very well have a more-than-adequate margin of safety in the polls, including those in vital swing states, and may even be surprisingly competitive in states you’d expect to be slamdunks for a demented, delusional, barely-standing-upright, over-the-hill gangster demagogue.
But we can’t forget there’s still a big Trump voting bloc out there in the wild. If Hitler was alive he would cherish them, and they will be an ongoing problem no matter how the election turns out.

29,
As closely divided as the seven battleground states are, it’s pointless pretending we can predict outcomes.
We can guess at probabilities but as Scotty P perennially fails to grasp, any valid probability estimate includes the very real certainty of low probability events taking place on any given pull on the lever or spin of the wheel. Casinos are built on this principle. You’d think a degenerate like him would get it.
All any good campaign can do is constantly monitor tactical outcomes and evaluate strategies and put in the work. That’s where the real good news lies for Democrats. It’s a damn solid plan and the progress continues at a steady pace. The “honeymoon” continues. Will it be enough? There are no guarantees and Jesus hates a coward.
And then there’s this:
In normal years a well planned, well organized and well executed ground game can get a campaign about a 1% bump. Doesn’t sound like much. But assuming nothing else affected the vote over the last four years, that 1% puts 2020 Joe Biden within about 12,000 votes of picking off North Carolina.
Democrats have a great ground game this year. And Trump has Elmo and Charlie Kirk. But ground game GOTV is hardly the only thing affecting turnout this year. Even in any other cycle a 15 point gender gap would make a difference just because more registered voters are women. But what happens to gender turnout post-Dobbs in a state like NC with a tranny porn jacking Black Nazi who promises to execute women who seek abortion running for Governor?
And an election in which Harris wins NC is an election in which Trump loses the electoral college.
And gender gap isn’t the only big transformation underway in 2024.
Democrats have absolutely no reason to feel cocky, but also no reason to panic or worry over the latest Trafalgar poll. We just have to work and vote.

Let’s try an example.
Here’s a recent ActiVote survey.
https://www.activote.net/harris-maintains-narrow-lead-in-keystone-swing-state-pennsylvania/
I’m not choosing this because I think it’s a “good” poll. I’m choosing it because I know that its unique survey methodology produces response bias. So it’s very easy to see how the survey analysis responds to that.
Take a look at the very first table of crosstabs, fourth row. See what they did there?
ActiVote relies on a mobile phone app to engage with respondents. Slick, I guess? But you can easily imagine that such a survey would produce response bias by age. And sure enough!
So they rely on voter file data from companies like Catalist to “weight” the responses. In the case of respondents ages 18-29 they take it waaay down more than half, from 27% of the sample to 13% in the results to reflect historical turnout. Likewise they more than double the response for 65 plus.
Now look at gender. Big response bias in favor of men over women. So again big adjustment to match historical turnout data. You’ll also see a note appearing below that table in which they explain why there is no crosstab for Latino vote. The smaller a crosstab sample is when compared to the overall sample size, the more error.
Whatever percentage of response by party affiliation Scotty P feeeeels is “correct” all polls will weight those responses to match the historical data. That’s only a problem when the total response by any particular affiliation is so low when compared to the overall sample that it can’t be relied upon. That’s not the case for a sample with 51% “Democrat” response, 44% “Republican” response, and 7% “unaffiliated”. And if we are going to be concerned it ought to be with that 7%.
I know I am.
But as this ActiVote survey also demonstrates, we should also be concerned about methodology.
And lastly since response weighting is based on historical data, we should also pay attention to data indicating shifts and trends away from that historical data.
Which is why I mentioned the gender response bias. ActiVote surveyed 400 responses, only 112 of which came from females. That’s adequate. But only so long as the actual voting in November is very faithful to that historical data. It probably won’t be.

But I’m all for it.
More please.
Elijah Donimic NcFuckhead spews:
Like Scotty P, Thomas Massie probably feels a little fucked about Jan 6th and what his party did before, during, and after all that. So it’s understandable that they keep trying to alter the record to help resolve some of the oppressive feelings of cognitive dissonance it must provoke.
But at least for purely political purposes I’d have to say they would probably be a lot better off if they could just sommon the courage and strength of character to shut the fuck up about it and live with the stain. I say that because of what we know about how the media and many moderate partisans and disengaged independents have processed the facts and reporting about all that.
When I find myself, as I frequently do, pointing out to almost anyone that entirely according to the evidence collected and reported to us, armed, violent, militant domestic terror groups spend months planning and preparing in advance for what took place on Jan 6, that they orgnaized logistics and secure communications, that they met and planned and trained in secret, that they obtained funding and support from prominent Republicans, that they coordinated with people working inside the White House, that they amassed huge stockpiles of military weapons, ammunition and explosives and transported them to the DC area ahead of time, that they staged some of these weapons caches outside of DC to avoid early detection and arranged for transportation into the Capitol, that remotely triggered explosive devices were planted all around the Capitol ahead of the attack, that the thousands of people who took part in the attack were led and organized by these militants, that those people came quite well armed with guns, explosives, chemical weapons, spears, knives, and clubs, that as they gathered and launched the attack the leaders and the mob chanted threats to assasinate the Vice President and elected members of Congress including the Speaker, and that as Ashli Babbit breached the outer doors to the Speaker’s Lobby and attempted to force her way in, she was to any properly trained and prepared police officer an obvious suicide backpack bomber bent on carrying out those threats by exploding a backpack bomb inside the Speaker’s Lobby where members where sheltering, the most common response I hear is “Huh. Oh yeah. That’s right, isn’t it. I guess I’d forgotten.”
It’s almost miraculous how effective the sanewashing has been surrounding the Jan 6 terror attack. And part of how it works is by people just forgetting. It was a bad time in general. Trump had made a wreck of the country. A lot of people were out of work. There was very little to do. We’d been reduced to wiping our asses with used coffee filters. And almost a million of us had died from a viral pandemic that Trump and Republicans insisted did not exist.
So we had plenty of incentive to forget. And it most definitely helps that the big corporate media stepped right up and quite eagerly portrayed all that violent political terorism as “normal politics”.
So I think it’s pretty obvious that the forgetting really serves Trump, MAGA Republicans, Thomas Massie, and Scotty P best.
But if their own weakness and cowardice keeps driving them to remind us over and over and over again, especially right as two hundred million of us head out to vote, who am I to argue?

Don’t forget to check the Loewen database:
https://justice.tougaloo.edu/sundowntown/prairie-du-chien-wi/
Highly suspect as a Sundown Town. The census data is disturbing. It is surrounded by other Sundown Towns in Wisconsin and Iowa. And this has been the pattern of small communities chosen by the Trump campaign for rallies.

Worth noting the only evidence the suspect is Gang Affiliated is the local police statements that he has tattoos so they’re ‘Quite certain’ he’s in the big Venezuelan gang that is terrorizing, looks up, the Iowa / Wisconsin boarder.

@85 “The Trump campaign event in Wisconsin had to be moved to a smaller venue because the Secret Service didn’t have enough manpower to cover it.”
And who’s been writing federal agency budget appropriations in this budget cycle? Mmm? But let’s delve into some details:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-wisconsin-rally-secret-service/
Still holding outdoor rallies after two assassination attempts, and expecting the Secret Service to provide an army of agents (it doesn’t have) to guard all possible line-of-sight shooting positions. Mmm.
We all know why he holds outdoor rallies in farm fields and at airports. Because he’s a deadbeat with a track record of stiffing venues for the rent, so nobody will rent facilities to him anymore.

Gas here, in DE, last weekend was 2.89 at one station, across the street from that station was 2.95 and then another station close to those was 3.00.
On this past Wednesday the price at all three stations jumped .25 to .30 cents by. How does it go up in 3 days by .30?
Also, Saudis just announce an increase in production yesterday, so maybe in a few months we will see the prices even less than today’s.

“All quiet on the inflation front,” said Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investing at E-Trade from Morgan Stanley. “Add today’s PCE Price Index to the list of economic data landing in a sweet spot. Inflation continues to keep its head down, and while economic growth may be slowing, there’s no indication it’s falling off a cliff.”
And who’s to “blame”? for “inflation continues to keep its head down”?
Joe and Kamala of course.. “Blame” them.. (rolls eyes)..
Elijah Donimic NcFuckhead spews:

Along with “blame” one might even say “ass fucked”.
Kids who graduate into an economy like this one might not always know it, but they are lucky when compared to the shambles left by so many past Republicans.
Bill Clinton’s great claim about jobs creation by presidential party is 100% true. And Republicans just can’t stand that.
Housing supply is still a big problem. But it’s also slowly beginning to improve in areas that allow it. And I think there’s lots of work for Democrats on inequality. But Republicans proudly consider inequality to be an economic feature they can brag about rather than a serious problem holding back efficiency and growth.
