Such performative masculinity, you can never be the underdog or have nuance.
Harris is up by a point or two nationally, and that's not necessarily enough to win. Battleground states are all too close to call. The RCP electoral map is still giving Trump the win granted they tend to be R-biased in their poll aggregation but that is the path to claiming Trump is in the lead.
The most charismatic man I know is my uncle, he worked right near the WTC on 9/11 and even though they closed his bridge home because it was 9/11 he sweet talked his way across.
These are not polls they are odds of winning.
Latest Quinnipiac poll of Pennsylvania has Harris up by 3 points, 50% to 47%. Based on that low level of undecided/3rd party voters, trend lines, historical movement of polls from mid August to November, Nate Silver's model predicts that 59% of the time, the candidate who is winning 50% to 47% right now will win the state in November.
If these were the poll numbers she'd probably be in Texas trying to flip it, that would be crazy.
Right wing randos from the middle of nowhere, I get why they get pulled down the rabbit hole.
Elon Musk, is a hyper online nerd and he is constantly surrounded by yes men. I get why he got pulled down the rabbit hole.
Donald Trump is a Fox News grandpa who surrounds himself with the hard right because they support him unconditionally. I get why he got pulled down the rabbit hole.
But JD Vance is arguably the furthest down the rabbit hole of all of them, and I don't get why.
Theoretically he's the senator for a whole state who voted for Obama twice. His day job is in the Democrat-controlled Senate, if he wants to get anything done he needs to work with Democrats. How is he such a true believer in this stuff?!?
PTSD is serious and difficult to live with and I feel sorry for anyone who has it. Not really something to joke about.
I would be freaked out too if I almost got assassinated. He is a human being.
I don't want him to be president. But that doesn't change my basic humanity for the victim of a crime.
It is so hard to win without Florida for Republicans. He could win PA, WI, GA. AZ, NV and still lose if he didn't win Florida.
But it's a moot point because Republicans don't lose FL outside of landslides anymore, happened for Obama 08 but not 2012 and the state has gotten redder since then.
So he doesn't want DC or PR statehood, giving federal representation to millions of otherwise disenfranchised US citizens because...he thinks they'll elect Democrats. Cool.
"The United States isn't sending their best. They're sending rapists, they're criminals..."
I paid $100 for a massive 1TB hard drive when they first came out years ago. Thought a TB was essentially unlimited and wasn't sure if it could ever be used.
What a crazy advancement to get to 8TB the size of your pinky nail.
I feel like this article gets written every 3 weeks.

He's never finishing the series. He's going to be 76 in a month, he still has probably most of Winds to finish after 13 years, the math doesn't work out to getting A Dream of Spring, let along the fact that this story is way too big to satisfactorily conclude in 2 books at this point, and even if it could be done it would be complex and difficult and take longer than usual.
I'm irrationally still hopeful we get Winds. But that is it.
