I feel like Trump slinking away with his tail between his legs is slightly more likely than him actually facing material consequences. Would rile the crowd up less, too. I just want this to end, somehow, man, I don't really care how (or think it's likely to)

I know the woman who accused Biden of sexual misconduct in 2020 fled to Russia last year, which says a lot.

Anyways I took the average of electoral votes the Democrat candidate got in the last three elections and got 288. That sounds about right for Harris this election - was always thinking she'd win but uncomfortably close. And there's still plenty of time for things to go wrong.

Speaking of sexual misconduct, this is admittedly a loaded topic but I feel like the news tends to make too big a deal about any celebrity accused of seemingly heinous crimes to the point where they're all equated. I'm sorry if I seem like I'm stepping on peoples' toes with this, but given Weinstein's lawyers were successfully able to argue for his rape conviction in New York to be overturned based on the narrative of the media being out to get him or something it's clear it's a mainstream enough position. Though I'm not arguing so much about people like Weinstein so much as I'm arguing about things like that news story in 2018 where like eight or so women accused Morgan Freeman of looking at them in ways that made them uncomfortable and then the media starting acting like Freeman was the next celebrity exposed by #metoo. I do not however begrudge women for coming forward with their stories - it's fully possible to take a middle ground here.

Where this has relevance to politics is unfortunately I think this kind of sentiment against media attention was another factor in getting the BS Supreme Court ruling on Trump v. United States, which seems more and more disgusting by the day even beyond removing the president's accountability.

Oh theyve definitely resorted to straw man arguments from the get go. I once told someone on YT that it seems like anything to the left of far right is political to them and I got a retort that anything to the right of Stalin is called far right. Tbh I dont think there IS much of a right beyond the far right.

This is the US not North Korea. Having SS protection isn't a prison. He would literally just fly to Saudi Arabia or Russia and then not come back. The US could order an extradition, but the foreign country has to comply, and it can take years or decades.

The rich elite DO have the ability to escape the law in free countries. That's just how it is, and Trump definitely will take advantage of it.

my dad saw him post a meme on FB stories of that quote of "he's it feel to kill a human being - I wouldn't know I've only killed commies" and gdad's putting two-and-two together about Trump/Elon calling Kamala a communist recently
This seems like a leap. It's very common to talk about killing commies due to the cold war, and could just be standard anti-Russia/China sentiment (which indicates non-Trumper).

Yeah, while the USSS theoretically has to report crimes committed by protectees (at least the obvious ones) to avoid complicity, there's not a lot they can do if it's not a measure taken for safety.

I think he's talking about how the secret service have the ability to arrest people that have committed crimes against the US and if trump has a detail with him he could be promptly arrested when necessary.

Trum switched planes in Billings last night because he still owes Bozeman $12,000 in unpaid fees from years ago, not because he had mechanical failure.

This is why there were no emergency vehicles in the tarmac despite is being "mechanical issue".

A vast majority of states have seen barely if any polling outside of major "assumed" swing states, and I think we're going to start seeing some very interesting results when pollsters actually start tackling these states that have have had over a 2 point margin in recent elections in earnest.

Naw you're right, but it's still a 3 point drop, it's indicative. Same deal with the Dem turnout for the Washington primary being way up, these things show where things are shifting.

Also you really gotta read the whole article, not just that snippet, because oof.

Trump only had three points on Biden in Ohio as of late October 2020 but he wrecked Biden's face off.

Even so, it's telling that this would ever happen in polling, absolutely.

Yep. Depending on third-party performance, Trump could even finish under 50% in the actual election and still win Ohio relatively easily.

Hopefully Kamala's numbers keep improving everywhere. I don't trust polling. Trump outperformed his polls last time. Biden was polling well up in PA, WI and MI and barely won those states. I know that Dems have been outperforming polls recently too, but that can easily be offset by the Trump voters who don't want to admit they're voting for Trump if they're talking to someone in person.

Im not sure how much of a thing thatll be this time given his voters were the most gung-ho and cultish about this whole thing due to his legal problems. Thats the main reason I wasnt even concerned about him polling ahead of Biden and also why I think people are generally too concerned about the individual candidates in elections.

Tbh thinking about it I feel like progressivism has overall diminished during Bidens term and that things like racial sensitivity, sexual misconduct, and general abuse of power have become less of a concern to many in the meantime. I dont think itll be enough for Trump to win the election outright unless something goes very wrong in the next three or so months, but I am a little nervous.
