Harris will win by alot more than predicted I think.
I can't see a Dem Senate TBH, WV is definitely a loss for them, TX is a possible pick-up but MT is probably a stretch to hold as is OH, I think the Dems will flip the house though100%
Abortion is a losing issue for Rs. For all the resources they spent for decades trying to kill Roe, the fact that it no longer exists has been a massive wake up call to women, which the R hierarchy didn't factor into their calculus. Even Trump has been tap dancing around the issue by operating to the left of people like DeSantis, who was pushing for a national abortion ban. If Harris wins and she happens to get a Dem Congress, she will be under some pressure to get a new national law through to reverse the latest SCOTUS ruling.
I've just read a piece about undecided voters on BBC. One woman says she bases her choice for President on who she would leave her daughter alone with.
If that isn't batshit mental enough for you, in 2020 that person was Donald Trump.

This is so fecking predictable and you worrywarts get strung along as usual
Does make me a bit sad that his streak wont end though
I'm a Mooch fan. He has been doing a Rest if Politics US edition for the past few months with Katy Kay.
I quoted him probably about 400 pages back on this thread when he said something to the tune of ....
20 million boomers have died since the 2016 election and 40M Gen Z are now eligible to vote.
Infact, i found the clip....
The Boomer generation seemed to heavily favour Republicans. Probably because they had fond memories of what the Republicans used to be. i.e The Reagan Republicans.
Many assume that when people hit a retirement age, then they will automatically start to become more conservative.
Im not sure if that is the case and we may be seeing signs on this in this election. There were signs of this in the Selzer Iowa poll.
I get what she means, but it is kind of a weird way to pick a President.
Would you pick your hairdresser, plumber or accountant in the same way?
Seriously hoping for a Trump victory. It's less about liking him and more about having serious reservations about Harris. She's been about the level of Jeb Bush in terms of her public appearances, not giving any impression that she's leadership material. When asked to basic questions about her plans for the economy, her ability to give anything other than a coherent answer is frustrating, and her stance on the border reeks of insincerity. They're two key issues that she doesn't look trustworthy on. This is without saying anything about the shitshow that has been the last four years. I just think she's an absolutely terrible candidate, and the "but she isn't Trump" argument doesn't work, not when the apocalyptic predictions about his win after 2016 turned out to be as accurate as the polling for that election. The prospect of her being president scares me more.

Perhaps if the rationale wasn't so bad. He had some of my sympathy until the sentence "... not when the apocalyptic predictions about his win after 2016 turned out to be as accurate as the polling for that election." The disastrous term he had and the fact so many people seem to believe it wasn't terrible just bc every new pile of crap buried the previous is downright scary.Someone dares to go against the tide here, explaining to us their sincerely held reasoning, and they just get laughed out of the echo chamber.
A moment to reflect upon perhaps.

And that is on par with the Trump supporters.All the post does is slag of Harris without a single reason for voting Trump other than she isn't Harris. It fails to mention a single Trump policy that the poster is voting for.
If that person's reasoning held together at all I'd be with you but, erm, here we are.bSomeone dares to go against the tide here, explaining to us their sincerely held reasoning, and they just get laughed out of the echo chamber.

The whole post is being laughed at because it is full of lies and makes no sense. All the post does is slag of Harris without a single reason for voting Trump other than she isn't Harris. It fails to mention a single Trump policy that the poster is voting for. Harris is not giving the impression she is leadership material, WTF is Trump giving an impression of? It deserves to be laughed at.
I don’t think so. It’ll remain an echo chamber for the most part…which is not to say that the anti-Trump sentiment is wrong mind you. It’s bizarre that he was ever a candidate, but then on reflection perhaps it isn’t as he just reflects much of the times we live in. Many of the policies and ideas behind the cult of personality have become mainstream now and aren’t going anywhere, which is probably a good thing.Someone dares to go against the tide here, explaining to us their sincerely held reasoning, and they just get laughed out of the echo chamber.

I'm not really sure but I think it could be to be honest. 'Overall Trump ended up doing an average amount of harm for a US president' is far from an unheard of take. Then it's just some 'better the devil you know' shit. I could buy those are the real opinions of our guy here.The reasoning isn't sincere though is it?
This part for example - sarcastically downplaying the human cost of his last spell in term.

Amazing to see how much his views have changed in 4 years though:
