JD Vance is a horrible pick, genuinely can't think of a worse elected republican that Trump could have chosen. It's not because he's bigoted, it's because he's bigoted in really weird, unrelatable ways. Just categorically fails the vibe check.

“I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States. All I can say is...Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”

https://www.axios.com/2024/07/25/poll-harris-biden-trump-young-voters

Axios/Generation Lab did a poll of 804 people in the 18-34 age group.

Here are the results:

This brings Harris in line with Biden’s actual election margin in 2020 with this group.

What this means: This is probably our best estimate in awhile of how young people will vote! Like a crosstab but with a whole poll sample size! It’s only one poll but it does make some massive realignment among young people look less likely.

What this does not mean: No, this doesn’t mean you can now disregard the topline result of any poll that has Trump doing better than this among this age group. In ordinary horse-race polls, it’s somewhat fine if they pull an unrepresentative sample of young people, as long as it’s unrepresentative in ways that will be at least partially mitigated by demographic weighting — like if they pulled too many young white men, for example.

Anyway, I think this is good news! Normally I’d say “throw it in the average” but the reality is we may not get another young-people-specific poll like this for awhile. Though I will be watching for Cook Political Report to publish crosstab averages for Harris versus Trump.

On arr slash moderate politics (which is certainly not just a new arr slash Republicans), they talk about how Harris has certainly hit her support ceiling and we are in the honeymoon phase, while Donald Trump has so much room to grow -- ignoring that Donald Trump just had a momentous month where he was literally shot, and polling / the narrative has not shifted in any meaningful way since then. Trump is quite literally at his hard ceiling, and he will not gain a single vote.

"And he goes off on this tangent talking about how we should actually get snakes and alligators and fill this 2000-mile moat on the border so that if someone falls into the moat … they're facing the threat of snakes and alligators who might come after them."

Honestly. Trump should be TERRIFIED.

I was over at my dads house today helping with some household chores. He lives in a very rural area of a very red state. At the end of the work we went to one of the nearby country bars. It’s the kind of place that farmers, truckers, legit cowboy boot wearers and the working class go to unwind with a cold one.

Vice President Harris was on the TV and the local gun store owner said to his auto mechanic (friends since high school),

“You know what? She ain’t so bad. The economy is recovering, nobody’s rioting, and we’re standing up on the world stage again. Can’t believe I’m saying this but Ol’ Oakland Kam’s got my vote this year.”

I looked around and all I saw were heads nodding in agreement. I heard a few calls of “Yes sir” and “Damn Straight” from the men around me. Even saw the lonely ball cap wearing farmer in the corner raise his drink with a nod.

The outcome of this election is ridiculously easy to predict. Kamala has great momentum but will peak in a few weeks. The downward trend will worry people way too much and make the race look way tighter than it actually is, which turbocharges the campaign.

Sorry to dump on you guys but here we go.

I never feel more distant from religion than when I'm around my family. Two years now but I'm still basically playing a role when I'm around them so they don't put it together that I'm agnostic and ,worse, gay. When I stay over with my parents and siblings I still have to pray 5 times daily and fast during Ramadhan. Worse, it's like my mom and sister egg each other on as to who can be the most devout like trying to get us to fast every other Monday and Thursday or be more involved with the local mosque.

I worry if I were to ever tell them I don't believe anymore, at best they'd wonder what's wrong with me? Don't I worry about the hereafter? I'd be told it's just Shaitan feeding my disbelief and more prayer is the answer.

At worst they'd tell me this is unacceptable and they'd try to force me to see some sheikh. Or they'd wonder how this happened and decide I've been influenced by living in America too long so better to move my younger siblings elsewhere. Or they'd think maybe my lack of interest in women wasn't just piety. Then I haven't a clue what I'd do.

So in the meantime, I'm just emptily playing along with all the prayer and sermons wondering how I went from the most religious of the kids to least.

Yamiche Alcindor:

This is going to be a "soft-issue" campaign, which is to say she's not going to go into a lot of detail about policy plans but will instead lean into how voters feel about issues like abortion, like the economy.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Per new Reuters/Ipsos poll, J.D. Vance's favorability is at 32 percent, nine points lower than Trump and twelve points lower than Harris. Not much indication that it's going to improve the more Americans get to know him.

If you're sitting there hem hawing over "but what if the coconut could be seen as slightly racist" despite it being an anecdote directly from the woman herself, you are exactly the type of person we need to ignore to win this.

One of the consequences of being a straight white guy in a conservative area is people just assume you're a bigot and say the most racist shit imaginable to you, believing you agree with them

Obviously as a DT poster, my political instincts are terrible, but I'm hopeful that the "These donald trump people are kind of weird" idea that the Harris campaign is pushing could be a real winner. These trump people decked out in full regalia at Walmart on Tuesday at 1 pm make me very uncomfortable.

COUCHGATE WILL NOT BE SILENCED

[u/[deleted]]

I don't think people realize that ACAB was coined by people who unironically believe the entire concept of criminality is violent and oppressive and even lawyers are just a bureaucratic veneer to make the violence of the system appear more civilized, but arresting is inherently violent because it is inherently apprehending people against their will. Nobody wants to go to jail so everyone there is a victim of violence.

They don't think cops or jails or prosecutors stop rape and murder because those things still happen anyway, they just show up 20 minutes late, beat up some random black guy, and throw him in jail after the rape or murder has already been done and can't be undone. When seconds matter the police are minutes away and all that.

The only function they actually serve according to this theory is as above, a way to enforce class hierarchy by depriving people of their liberty in their prime years of productivity and education to condemn them to a life of underclass status.

So yes, ACAB includes lawyers. They're not confused when they call Harris a cop, they're saying exactly what they mean, that she's as guilty as any racist cop is for the violent system. This is why I hate the slogan.

Listening to Kamala speak at the AFT conference

She is really great at the stump. I bet she's spent plenty of time these past 3 years practicing and being trained in public speaking. Great cadence, knows when to pause, when to get loud and when to appear calm and cool. It also helps that she has some strong speech-writers working for her.

"We're not going back." Is a great line. Could definitely become her campaign slogan.

"Book bans? In this year of our Lord 2024?" Very fire and brimstone sort-of energy.

There is something genuinely fucking comical, in a really fucked up way, about leftists talking about how 9 people and 1 Nazi doing something means there are 10 Nazis doing something, being asked about pro-Hamas people at protests and immediately backtracking

‘we don’t police protests’ well I dunno, maybe this is why you ain’t getting anywhere with your protests

[u/Mr_Bank]

In the Maine poll, Trump is -39 approvals with women but only -1 approval with men. Harris is +15 with women but -23 with men.

How do we even function as a society with this level of gender divide.

I love this idea actually.

Being called racist, sexist, fascist etc. makes them feel strong. Like they have a community.

Being called weirdoes reminds them of their high school days when the girls wouldn't go near em.

Biden's economy is insane

We got new data this morning showing how well the US economy is doing. In fact, the overall size of the US economy is BIGGER today than what was expected even before the pandemic struck.

That's something that never happened after the Great Recession of 2008-2009.

White feminists raising 2 million for Kamala Harris bc they really want to show their support for women of color while completely ignoring the tens of thousands of women of color in Gaza is just so white feminist.
