I thought we had it when he said they were eating cats and dogs.

Same... As soon as the polls were showing how close it was I knew we were going to lose all of the swing states... We never learned our lesson over the last 10 years... Every poll Trump is involved in the polls underestimate him by a lot... +1 Harris, +3 Harris, whatever, is really +4 Trump.

Polls don't account for people who are ashamed to tell the truth - even anonymously.

Problem is they think the undecideds are actually undecided rather than ashamed of what they're about to do.

Gun control from Bojack is kind of apt today as well.

I've had 2016 bad feeling in my gut for months. Never wanted to be wrong more in my life.

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
And everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That's how it goes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died...

The last 2 weeks of nonstop Trump headlines was the nail in the coffin for me.

It's wild to me that Democrats thought Hillary Clinton 2.0 was a good idea. They even fucked up the primaries like in 2016 as well.

There was no time for a primary.

I voted in the primaries so IDK what you're talking about.

Like how granular do we want to get? There was no time for primaries with finding multiple candidates who have time to prepare a platform based on new pollng information (also takes time) on what policies were popular and battling it out for a month which would have cut into campaigning time.

The Primaries where I live where held in June. My options for President in June where Joe Biden and Terrisa Bukovinac. What you mean is there was no time to hold a second primary. If the Democrats needed to hold a second primary, doesn't that mean they fucked up the first one?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

Thank you for getting granular all on your own.

[–] takenaps@lemmy.world 2 points 35 minutes ago (1 children)

Three was no time because they waited too fucking long

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 25 minutes ago

If you mean for Biden to step down, there's no arguing with that.

A great show. Perfect for current binge watching.

Theme/intro sequence is great IMHO.
