New Yorkers Lining Up for Trump

"sees a certain set of the electorate."

Given that the jokes in question were about blacks and Hispanics, I just figured that's who you were talking about. Were you not talking about those sets of the electorate?
Ah. I see what you are getting at. Apologies...what I'm meaning to talk about isn't race. It's "people like us" and "people not like us". "Those people" are trash from a trash island. Puerto Rican isn't a race. Calling people from Kentucky "dumb rednecks" doesn't make someone racist, but it does likely mean that people from Kentucky may not be favorably disposed to them at first blush.
 
Heh. Yeah...it would be kind of weird if he said "No, the set of the electorate I was referring to, about how Trump's voters view them, was closeted gay low-wage workers without a college degree in the rural south! Why would you think I meant race?"
Sorry...was busy trying to reply to you in good faith, but see that you've moved on to snark. Enjoy.
 


The Progressive Puritans are out in full force today. I applaud the left for trying to get 0% of the male vote.
I'd say the opposite is true. When you're already down double digits among women and women are early voting at 13% more than men already, you might want to try and figure out a way to cut into the gender gap not exacerbate it. Women already vote in greater numbers than men, and will likely continue to do so up until and thru election day. None of that bodes well for Trump...

Well, race is the entire context of the thread, hoos. It's not like it's something that just get injected in the last few posts out of nowhere.

Also, it wasn't just Puerto Ricans (who, after all, are Hispanics) that the comedian was hitting. He also hit on blacks with the watermelon thing.

Nobody else discussing the thread was talking about anything other than the racial component of the story.
 
I think Kamala win in PA is baked in. The MSG rally has no affect.

Edit.


So you're saying she's going to win? Because while I feel pretty good about PA I feel great about both MI and WI. And I'm starting to feel pretty good about GA, and have always been bullish on NC.

This clip just gets right to the point I'm making. Here he is making jokes about suicide, Jews being money-grubbers, etc....and nobody cared.

I just find this very interesting in a social sense. Why are we conditioned for one kind of reaction to a stimulus in venue A, but a different kind of reaction to the same stimulus in venue B?
It's election season and everyone wants to control the narrative. Democrats are struggling and grasping at straws.

Cool story. The thread has been about a lot of things. It started as a chest thump about Trump's kick ass MSG event. I tried to explain what I was talking about and you were responding to me, so that's who I thought you were engaging with.

All good. Continue on with your thoughts on race since you don't seem inclined to engage with mine.
 
All of this hype that Trump is winning is set up to claim the election was stolen after he loses. It's the same playbook as 2022 only on a much larger scale., Dump a bunch of polls to manipulate the margins, and play into the MAGA belief that if Trump doesn't win the other side cheated...It's a key part of Trump's strategy- the renewal of "stop the steal"...

But he already tried that and failed miserably...all while still in office. Why again but under the present circumstances? Seems like he'd have a lesser chance this time around....am i missing something?

Instead of attacking the Capitol, he's going to sic his footsoldiers on local and state election boards and officials. He's already gone after Jocelyn Benson.

That’s fair and could be true. Turnout and the party that can drive up the most votes in the gender that favors their party will probably carry the election.
 
We’re a week out DBM. Let’s win this damn election because I don’t want to have to do it again in 28.
This is our time!!! This HAS to be our time!! Harris and walz. Sooooo dumb. Goofy as hell. If we can’t beat these two we can’t beat anyone!

Weakest D ticket in my recollection… give Carter credit for beating Ford. McGovern would at least answer questions. Dukakis tried to be himself.

Interesting that CNN has devoted over an hour to the poor jokes but brushed off the Nazi commenst from Tim Walz.

Their double standard is front and center.

Love it. @mcmurtry66 put your big boy pants on. We’re running it up this time so they can’t cheat enough to win.
They always want to use the mail!!!!!

 
There is a corner of the Permian Oil Basin in NE NM. The state budget depends on oil severance taxes. The freeze on leases on Federal land, will hit the budget hard down the road. NM sees all the border immigrant traffic from El Paso to Tucson. The more Hispanics swing away from Democrats, based on the issues, the more likely Republicans can pick off a house seat.

Voters in NH may feel slighted by Harris bypassing their “First in the Nation” primary.

VA did vote in a Republican Governor.

MN voters may decide to hold Waltz accountable for not calling out the MN National Guard to prevent the burning down the police precinct house, and Harris for creating a bail fund for rioters.

Reaching out for votes is a necessary political activity.
