I've said it 1x earlier this cycle. I think it will be in several state capitols and not focused on DC initially
Occam’s razor “proof they are stealing the election”. Space brained take “they are running a test that inadvertently went live”. Conspiracy theory deep thinkers.
He's doing a bit. But yeah, the obvious answer is economic capital, the less obvious but important answer is cultural capital.
But there’s an inherent advantage to living in an urban area being surrounded by diversity. If you live your whole life just in the 22.82 square miles of Manhattan (5-mile radius is 78.5 square miles), are you not regularly confronted with things out of your comfort zone, new foods, new cultures? Or you grow up and just have potatoes as friends.
Feel like I'm gonna have a stroke or an aneurysm in the next 7 days. Wish I could fast forward to joy or the world collapsing so I could make plans
with a ground game like this i would just concede now if i was Kamala on account of it being so joever
Sounds like a good way to get canvassers to fake gps locations and fill our fraudulent questionnaires
Those aren’t new foods and new cultures to them, they’re their surroundings so it’s not new or unique. There might be more around them than there is in, say, small town upstate New York, but it’s not new by any means. Urban people can be just as close minded to the unfamiliar as rural people and can become their own species of “potato”. I have a college friend who, prior to being a student in Ann Arbor, spent his whole life living in a New York City borough and on Long Island. Nice guy, but super confused/resistant about customs in Michigan or anywhere in the Midwest. He was equally as obstinate about stuff that conflicted with anything he experienced in his urban, NYC bubble as anyone I’ve met in rural areas when confronted with things that contradicted their bubble. Hell, I know and have met New Yorkers who think other boroughs in the city are backwards, much less the rest of the country. Same behavior type, different shades.
I have lived in red states and blue states and swing states and in the upset of the century, of course living in a goddamn blue state is much better than a red state... why? The majority of people aren't out there saying love thy neighbor on Sunday and build the wall Monday-Saturday
I was a democrat then I saw Prezident T say he was afraid of big poor minorities on the football field on Bussin W The Boys and I felt that so now I must vote for big stron president trump
There are tons of suburbanites whose only experience with rural America is to drive an interstate through it to get somewhere else.
Sure. I was sticking with the NYC theme but yes, there are plenty of cities/areas of cities way more diverse than Manhattan. Last time I was in NYC I spent 90% of my time in Queens and Brooklyn and had a blast. But to your point, Houston sucks in many ways (awful weather, urban planning that makes no sense) but it has kickass food and is diverse as hell.
lots to like about Manhattan but diverse isn’t the word I’d use. Brooklyn is awesome. haven’t spent much time in queens other than Long Island city when a friend lived there
I suppose I was looking for the most compact so I could further contrast with the five mile radius framing. People can be dumb anywhere of course, although I don’t believe “boisterous ignorance” is as popular a position in urban areas vs in rural areas.
If these are true Trump would be absolutely cooked in PA. 1.55m votes have been cast and we’ve been hoping the dem firewall is 450k which is a 30% edge. A +35% edge would have it at 542,000. The current Dem vs GOP edge is 25% with ~11% coming from indies. To get to 35%, she’d basically be winning an incredibly high % of them or a lot more early voting GOP are flipping for her.
Early voting ends Friday (started 10/15). Based on personal experience, I think the vast majority of early voters here have already cast their ballots.
Tomorrow is Halloween and I feel like Georgia-Florida is a pretty big travel weekend here whether it’s for the game or going to the mountains/beach/wherever. Couple in traffic and other day to day bullshit, and I just don’t think most people have been waiting until the last minute. But I could be completely wrong.
I also didn't want to wait until election day and then God knows what happens. I'd prob have to be near to death to not vote in this election but I wanted to give myself some room for error. So why not get it out of the way if I could
Yep. My precinct is already at 56% of total turnout. But we gotta pray the southside turns up out of nowhere. https://voteatl.org/early-voting-2024
