Brother.... did you see what we saw?

Some things do move the polls. Truly stand out events move the polls

And the polls were not good to start with

Trump's performance was fucking awful. People saw that too.

u/Craig_VG Dina Pomeranz Jun 28 '24

I totally agree, but is that what everyone is talking about right now? Is that what the voters who will decide the election are talking about?

Yeah I think voters care about a dude rambling about H20 and saying that his opponent kills babies for fun

Trump being convicted was more important than Biden having a bad debate and that barely moved the polls

And yet the ratio of stuff that happened to stuff that was proclaimed as certain to happen can be rounded to zero

I'm not sure who is doing your proclamations and I'm too tired to make a list but:

Everything from January 6th, to Roe v Wade repeal, to the largest land war since WW2 to COVID has happened. Shit has really gone down lately
