He’s had yet another horrible week. The old tricks aren’t working. Kamala Harris does not fear him. And it’s showing in the numbers.
Watch out, this may mean he’s going to take the low road a cheat. Regardless VOTE!!!
VOTE!! and also there is NO QUESTION his fart sniffing followers will CHEAT FOR HIM — let’s all get this through our heads NOW
There is already cheating with gerrymandering and reduced voting areas in specific places in many places, so even if you see lots of activity that suggests a major win for Harris, vote anyway to cover those whose votes will be suppressed. That we even have to plan for that in a country that touts voting as a right is insane.
Of fucking course Trump is going to cheat! In fact, his MAGA flying monkeys are cheating now, as we speak. The Trump campaign is recruiting literally 100,000 poll “observers” (read: saboteurs) to help it cheat. “Donald Trump and the MAGA movement’s coup attempt on Jan. 6 never stopped.”
The Trump campaign’s main strategy for 2024 isn’t to actually win votes. It’s to deliberately interfere with the counting of the votes and cast so much FUD on the process that as many states as possible either won’t (because they’re MAGA-controlled) or can’t (because there was genuinely that much disruption) certify their votes. In other words, he wants to file dozens of lawsuits challenging the results again, but manufacture valid bases for them this time. Combine that with the chaos of more Jan 6-style violence, and it’s very likely he will succeed in getting a decisive number of swing states decided by the Supreme Court a la Bush v. Gore – and not only does the Supreme Court have a MAGA majority, three of the fucking “justices” were lawyers on Bush’s side in that very court case!
This is why Trump is going around telling his supporters that they won’t have to vote anymore after this election, and why he doubled down on it when given the chance to walk it back. He has every intention of so thoroughly destroying Americans’ trust in Federal elections that four years from now he will simply make a dictatorial decree that it is pointless to have them and he will simply remain in power indefinitely.
Trump is 100% committed to seizing power and being coronated as America’s king, votes be damned.
More people need to be taking about this. The only way to stop it is to shine as bright a light as possible on it.
For anything Trump says; what did you expect? Something better?
Well, we should.
And here she is.
Oh geez… I swear, this sub is becoming just like r/politics… one sided.
It is?
Democrats should not be supporting genocide. Netanyahu should not be able to buy candidates.
Now watch what happens.
You say that as if Trump, as the Republican nominee, would do anything better with Israel
Nice whataboutism.
Not only is it possible to be upset about genocide (you should try it sometime), it’s also possible to be upset about genocide without being a Trump supporter.
Thank you for proving the point I was making.
Absolutely, 100%… but you didn’t bring that up in this specific post and context because it was a standalone point. You were already bringing the us vs them narrative and now are playing the pearl clutching.
My only mistake was feeding the troll here
That’s because there’s only really one reasonable side. What, do you WANT to see antivax misinfo in here?
Now, that’s not fair. Conservatives offer more than just antivax misinfo.
They also have misogyny, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, anti-education, climate denialism, billionaire worship, war-mongering, domestic terrorism cheerleading and so much more!
Oh yes, how could I forget their main platform? :-)
You can’t be sane and support Trump. You just can’t. There’s no debate here. He’s a lunatic and people who support him are lunatics.
If you want to see more pro-trump articles posted here then be the change you wish to see in the world: post them yourself.
Key-rye more
It didn’t hit him, maybe only his oversized ego got dented, a man behind him were hit, this guy should be in media on a daily basis, not Trump. DJT was scratched only.
He’s a narcissist to the degree of it being a mental illness, I don’t think most people are aware how little reality these people let into their psyche, to protect the image they have of themselves. There is no dent, this simply didn’t happen for him.
Just to remind everyone in 2016 people had pretty much already planned their Clinton victory parties and everyone “knew” that Trump was going to lose, the polling was so clear and Trump was such a joke. Perhaps some even took care of “more important” stuff than voting because it was so sure.
So keep your excitement to take you to the voting booths rather than letting it make you complacent.
Unfortunately I don’t see Kamala winning just yet, nothing is certain, there’s a lot of Trump supporters in the wood work, and the establishment liberal media play a game of “maybe if we pretend they’re losing, they’ll lose”.
…which is wishful thinking that destroys people’s grip on reality, and causes a lot of voters to not bother to show up.
The “liberal media” wants low t to win.
The establishment media wants Trump to win, don’t fool yourself.
I think it’s pretty obvious that if that guy gets elected, it’s going to be a shitstorm, and that isn’t good for the establishment.
And yet they carry his water every day.
The newsmedia seems to be gutting him right now, except for a couple of right-wing outlets.
Are you kidding? The “establishment” (mainstream) media is extremely left. They don’t like trump and do all they can to hurt his campaign.
Where do you live?
“Extremely left”
lol
Ok, maybe it’s more correct to say ‘totally’ left or ‘completely’ left, but that’s what it is. That’s why it’s called the “liberal media.”
The term “liberal media” is only used by those within the corporate media itself, right wing kool-aid drinkers, or with scare quotes around it by the actual left.
The term “liberal media” is a correct term because 90% of major news outlets (and media in general) lean left. This is accepted by everyone who has eyes to see.
This is a good place for you to be. It’s easy to do little research and find that MSM leans left, like 95% of major news outlets do. The bias for things that are left of center in media isn’t even argued by left, or right, or anyone. The only people who don’t realize this are those who have “drank the kool-aid”. Please, just do a couple of google searches. These major news outlets don’t even really hide it. Google “the liberal media” or “major news outlets bias”. Something like that.
The right wing calls it the “liberal media”. Nobody else does.
Do something for me. Google “the liberal media” and learn something.
Where is this so called extremely left media and what are they doing to hurt low t’s campaign?
… NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX (fox has fallen into this group recently), etc. It’s crazy that more folks don’t realize this. 90% of MSM is pro liberal agenda.
Liberals know mostly know this, but they don’t care because they are on their side. MSM bias for the left isn’t even argued. It’s common knowledge (at least it should be).
Many many local news stations are also run by this media conglomerate, and that’s why you will see all these news stations reading from the same script. They have a collective agenda. Well, actually, it’s not THEIR agenda, it’s the agenda of a VERY small group fed to these stations to repeat.
Lmfao including all of those in the same sentence is good times
And then calling them all liberal! Lmfao! And then calling liberal, left! LMFAO!
I hope your eyes open sooner rather than later
They also hated Bernie Sanders and did everything they could to hurt his campaign.
And make sure you tell everyone else to get out and vote.
Offer carpools to take people to vote if you can. We need numbers at the booths. Especially if you’re in a swing state or red.
The mainstream media just doesn’t reflect/represent the majority of Americans anymore and hasn’t for quite some time, actually.
Wait, that’s what “they” all say?!
This would suggest that the polls indicated that Hilary was more popular despite Trump going on to win the popular vote. This did not happen. The majority of Americans dislike Trump and he lost the popular vote and never had an approval rating over 50%.
However, there’s a lot of reporting on polls that operate like the popular vote, despite the popular vote not really mattering.
The actual assessment is that the electoral college just doesn’t reflect/represent the majority of Americans, and it never really did.
Thanks for saying this. It’s Mid-August. There are two whole months in which things can go wildly off the rails. Rather than celebrating polls in mid-August, let’s take this happy energy and make plans to go to the only poll that matters – the actual election – and make these mid-August hopes turn into January certainty. Plan the celebrations after we win in November, to coincide with Harris taking the Oath in January.
There are two whole months in which things can go wildly off the rails.
It’s astonishing how long the US election cycle is. There’s longer until the next US election than the entire campaign here in the UK, yet it’s all I’ve heard about for the past three years.
Can you guys not just chill the fuck out?
Media companies and political consultants have a vested interest in making this take as long as possible.
Can you guys not just chill the fuck out?
I used to go years between worrying about politics before Trump was president. I’m hoping those days can return somehow.
Yes, this. During his “presidency”, I got so sick of dreading the morning’s news. When I’d see someone else and they’d say “did you see/hear what he did now?”, you didn’t even have to ask who “he” was; you knew.
It was exhausting and the country barely survived it. I have no idea what’s in store for any of us if they put his ass back there again.
“I wish I could just go back to sleep for 4 years.” What a privileged take.
Not everyone wants to think about politics all day everyday.
“Make Politics Boring Again” Republicans have by-and-large politicized a HUGE number of things that should simply be left up to the scientific community. We shouldn’t NEED to have hearings on whether the planet is warming. The debate should be on minutia that aims to bring equity to all humanity, and frankly that’s pretty boring.
I wish. Our politics are so exhausting.
Obviously not. If people would chill out it would have to be about judging and responding to actual policy decision, instead of watching GoT political drama.
The longer the election cycle, the more politics are a show and bad policy can be justified with “election tactics”.
Yea while Kamala is ahead in the polls , a frighteningly large amount of people still support 45
Even then, the error % on polls is high enough that Trump could be ahead instead.
Polls post their calculated error %. If they could be off by like 5% in either direction, then that’s what they say. And if the poll shows Trump losing by 2%, with a 5% error, that means Trump could win by 3%.
Every single reputable poll that has been published shows a Trump victory within the margin of error.
I don’t know a single person that has been polled. They are all guesswork.
No, they just don’t have to poll massive groups, surprisingly small groups work well enough for polling.
Well they didn’t prove shit when they said Hillary was gonna win. Just gonna say I’m not ever gonna trust one.
Almost every poll had him winning within the margin of error, 2016 was never certain, just like this election isn’t.
Polls are all about probability. They can’t predict the future. So, even though Hillary was likely to win, there was still a chance that Trump could win. Does this mean that polls are useless? No, because knowing the popularity of your candidate relative to the other candidates is important information.
I doubt too many polls could have predicted the Comey/GOP/FBI election interference, for example.
and there’s plenty of time for the propaganda machine to find a server, laptop or some other bullshit to give people an excuse to not vote for her.
Honestly, I think this is one of the many reasons the hard right hate mail-in voting. There is less time for them pull off their typical rat-fucking dirty tricks if people already mailed in their votes.
The polls only look good because they’re so much better than they were for Biden. It’s still a toss-up, because those percentages are within the margin of error of the polls. (At least, for most of the swing states.)
Yeah, don’t be so sure of winning that you get too lazy to fricking vote. And also watch out because I’m sure there will be some dirty tricks around polling stations as certain Republican areas get desperate
"Prices… YOU’VE BEEN BAD! Folgers! Rocky road! BABY RUTH!!!
Because kamala harris is playing checkers whilst donald trump is playing tic-tac-toe.
He’s playing Snakes and Ladders (Chutes and Ladders?) in 4D. The man’s a genius, I tells you.
trump is playing bingo.
This was dumb in 2016 on /r/thedonald, and it is dumb now
I didn’t know it was already a thing. I assure you i made that up on the spot. If someone else already made the joke, then i didn’t know. But im glad im not the only person who thinks it’s funny.
has no idea what has hit him
well it ain’t a bullet that’s for sure
Six days ago, The New York Times ran a story under the headline “Inside the Worst Three Weeks of Donald Trump’s 2024 Campaign.”
You know things are bad when the worst three weeks are after an attempted assassination.
Or when the NY Times stops doing puff pieces on Trump or his supporters.
“TFW you get shot (at) and it’s not even the biggest political story of the week”
Best part is watching him eventually get convicted. Tic tac, orange man.
Eventually?
Convicted again*, he’s already got 34 felonies.
i think you mean sentenced

I love this storyline but I am reserved about the narrative from New Republic. A lot of their reporting comes off tabloid-ish.
It’s all in the clock
80 days until election day
70 days until early voting starts in Michigan
66 days until early voting starts in Wisconsin
61 days until early voting starts in North Carolina
45 days until the vice-presidential debate
30 days until early ballot drop off starts in Pennsylvania
24 days until the first presidential debate

Before anyone starts getting a bit too high off their own supply Harris’s polling averages peaked on August 12th. They were stagnant or declining on the 13th and 14th, briefly spiked on the 15th, and that spike was completely undone on the 16th. Today is dropping again. Not big drops, like 1/10th of a point every other day(which day depends on which conglomerates you use), but the growth trend is over.
Agreeing that it is wise to not grow overconfident.
We still are far from winning this battle.
Canadian, not my fight. Our liberals ain’t doing so good
Today is an all time high on slightly right leaning RCP, and a slight rebound on 538(But not to 12th/13th/15th levels). More like 16th or 11th evening. RCP tends to lag a bit on D rises and vice versa for 538 so we’ll see. Still suggests the overall strong growth trend passed and we’re nearing a ceiling. Not a bad ceiling, a winning ceiling, but it’s there.
it’s also only a matter of time before Fox News finds some kind of bullshit to sink their teeth into that changes swing voters minds.
Trump: “she doesn’t like Jewish people. You know it, I know it, and everybody knows it, and nobody wants to say it.”
Yeah, probably because she loves them, and everyone else as well.
Hey Donnie, you remember those “fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville? What were they chanting exactly?
Fucking asshole
If she loves Jewish people so much then why doesn’t she marry 'em?? 🤪
Oh wait…
Please tell me he said this.
Her husband Doug is Jewish.
Dotard Don 🤦🏽🤦♀️🤦🏻♂️
And Trump’s wife, mother, and grandfather are and were immigrants, but it doesn’t stop him from hating immigrants. That type of inconsistency isn’t an issue for him, so I imagine calling Harris an antisemite is perfectly reasonable to him.
Great point. Same with openly gay Peter Thiel who hand picked weirdo JD Vance, completely behind Project 2025, which is staunchly anti-gay.
Thiel knows that money and power trump the law (pun intended, I guess) so anti-gay legislation won’t affect him or his circle.
I think Trump is accustomed to thinking his spouses are lesser beings that exist only to bolster his image and serve at his pleasure, and he probably harbors deep feelings of disdain for all of them that he can’t express publicly.
So for him it totally tracks to be married to a type of person that you hate.
This isn’t a bad thought but it implies that he remembers she is married to a Jewish person. He definitely doesn’t. He can’t even pronounce her name or pick a wrong pronunciation to go with.
So for him it totally tracks to be married to a type of person that you hate.
Women, for example
Sounds like he might want to marry a man then
he probably harbors deep feelings of disdain for all of them
It’s not even a question. He literally buried his ex-wife on his fucking golf course without a headstone and then let the site become overgrown.
Angry orange will never stop flailing. Hes simply out of his depth and all the life preservers being thrown to him are just so much wet paper and about as effective
He’s drowning and they’re tossing him rolls of bounty like he did the people in Puerto Rico.
“Forget it Donny, you’re out of your element!”
