The 2020 thread....

[hutch]

At this point it’s all about motivating people to vote....

We know what polls say but it really comes down to who bothers to vote and where!


There just are very few undecided voters but there are a ton of people who know their preference but wondering if it’s worth the hassle to vote....some people have to decide wether to give up 5 hours to stand in line etc.its often very cold...it’s a work day....covid....ugh. Anything Biden can do to get people excited to vote for him is important

By sheer luck or not I think Biden is doing great... like yesterday was that by design or is it just him and his staffers just let him go with it? Whatever it was it’s great

How can we be so ass backwards about voting rights? It’s shameful and infuriating

I really don’t understand how people can be undecided at this point. Perhaps these are folks who prefer not to say.

I read earlier this week that Graham has taken a lead in SC. Very disappointing.

And thanks for nothing Gov. Hogan. Some example he is setting there.

Remember he’s really just a crazy uncle retweeting someone else’s opinion

Need to take issue with @SavannahGuthrie for saying to trump “it’s not like you’re someone’s crazy uncle.”

Bizarre that we are 17 days out and Trump has failed to inject his two biggest issues into the campaign... the issues that arguably got him elected:


1.  Illegal immigration
2.  Terrorism


I suppose on terrorism - knock on wood-there haven’t been any big attacks... like sayParis or San Bernardino

But if we recall 2016 that’s what we were all talking about...things like the Muslim ban etc

It’s been very different so far this time around

At this point I am more worried about Trump or his aides doing something really untoward and stupid -something dastardly- to try to change the dynamics of the race...

We all know how Trump would use a - god forbid- non white terrorist attack... there are a lot of $ at stake and a lot of players in the Middle East - national and sub national actors within countries- with close ties to terrorist actors

We all know the Saudis and Israelis would love to promote conflict with Iran and avoid a Biden presidency

But probably about 25%  of US voters will have done so by tomorrow....

Biden campaign ad shot at The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor featuring music from Pixies, Breeders and Beastie Boys.  First time ever for a ad licensed Beasties track.. Joe and Kamala walk across the screen to Sabotage

Also, an excellent example of the Save Our Stages campaign

Awesome. The number of shows I’ve seen there. Oh baby.

Reading predictions of 65% turnout (150 million)

I am skeptical but...
If we really see that many people vote I think it introduces uncertainty with respect to all the polls we are seeing...

For reference, we haven’t ever got even close to 65% in my lifetime!

If we got that high it would surely mean a lot of people that never or hardly ever vote would have voted... one would think polling would find it hard to predict who these people are

And don’t assume they would be D voters... as we know many lower education level voters - who tend to vote less - gravitate towards Trump

27 million votes already cast!!! and a refrigerator sized asteroid due nov 2nd!!!!

So the final gambit is to keep ratcheting up conspiracy theories about Hunter’s laptop?  That story just gets more and more ridiculous...

And why aren’t Biden surrogates highlighting the actual stuff 45s offspring have been caught doing, nevermind the security  costs that they have racked up... not that matters to his cult, because Obama played golf a couple times

[kosmo vinyl]

Rest of the strategy appears to be dismissing science, claiming all news is fake and probably stroking more ill will  towards any blue state governor

Oh it appears faux news passed on the Hunter laptop story because they didn’t find it credible,  which of course means OAN is running the story non stop
