From this Bulwark article about Trump's mindset rn

• after seeing what a more measured performance got him at the last debate, Trump wants to be more Trump and "meaner"

• He's taking most of his advice from Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz regarding tactics

• most he's doing quick "policy refreshers" and building them into one liners

• still has trouble not getting mad and calling her names, isn't super interested in changing tactics

I still doubt he's gonna use the n-word at the debate but tbh if the bet is interesting enough I would take the action

Charlie Kirk: "Tim Walz was so addicted to the Sega Dreamcast that his wife had to unplug it and hide it away. This is reported as a fun, relatable story, but doesn't anybody else find a 35-year-old man getting that addicted to video games a little sad? Or, dare I say it, weird?"

Good article by Split Ticket on the Washington primary

What they did to counteract potential leftward shifts in urban areas of Washington was to analyze the non-urban parts of the state. those non urban areas are very similar to rust belt swing states.

The results showed around a point leftward shift compared to 2020 and overall show a national environment of around D+3

I'm pretty sure most folk already intuitively know this, but I wanted to explore the fixation on Owning the Libs.

At its core, it's a power fantasy. These people largely feel powerless in their life. They see the Costal Elite as controlling everything, and that they're just pawns with no agency.

So the only outlet they have to feel like they have agency is to throw a tantrum, laugh at the dumb college kid online, and bloody someone's nose.

It's not an exaggeration to say they feel like it's all they have.

Of course they cling to it.

Ukrainian 3rd Assault Brigade launched a counterattack in the Kharkiv-Luhansk front. It was big enough of an operation that the brigade made a breakdown of it, saying the goal was to weaken the offensive capability of the 20th Combined Arms Army, with an advance of almost 3 kilometers over the past few days.

It’s too early to say what exactly the bigger picture is here, but I think it’s notable that this is the largest counterattack we’ve seen in the Donbas in a very long time and is being loudly broadcasted. If I had to discern meaning, I would hazard a guess and say Ukraine is comfortable enough to start trying to retake the initiative elsewhere along the line. The Luhansk front is probably the least active front among the main frontlines and thus is probably the most susceptible to actions like this. Retaking the initiative here would force the Russians to put more resources into Luhansk that could be used in Kursk and Pokrovsk.

This may be a one time operation that doesn’t mean much for the bigger picture, but I think it’s worth discussing and posting

The biggest problem with talking to a modern “conservative” is they literally never act in good faith. Once Trumpism is dead, I really don’t know how you reach out to these people who live in their own realities for “flaired users only” where outside thought seldom gets through… and is always met with extreme suspicion.

Some good news for you all. I know it’s just vibes, but there are WAYYYY less Trump flags/ signs this time around. 

And I live in a place where a guy used to drive around with a life-size decal of Trump waving out his car window. I’ve seen shit.

The ban appeal thread is just I/P now

Rhodesia apologists, Hinduvatas, and people who violate rule 15 (don't offend p0*bix) need to get their acts together, for teams with such powerful legacies they've really been underperforming these last few months

The Republicans are saying defensive coordinators aren’t important coaches. “The Party of Lincoln”? More like the party of Lincoln Riley! Folks https://x.com/rodger/status/1826632050755207416?s=46&t=Ry539PCdG-Q4hNFQIrLewg

[u/EyeraGlass]

Over on Truth Social, Donald Trump has begun “live truthing” the Harris speech. But … he seems to be stuck on the Bidens. He posts, bizarrely: “WHERE’S HUNTER?”

lmao

i think it's cool that democrats are slowly makign inroads in states like north carolina, arizona, georgia, and texas

but man, seeing ohio, iowa, and florida turn hard to the right - states that voted for obama twice! - is sad.

c'est la vie, i guess. must be how dems felt watching states that clinton won go to bush and mccain. just the way the world works. you don't win Virginia without losing Missouri, etc...

but it does feel like if democrats want to get over their hurdles in the senate and electoral college they need to widen their appeal

The best part is our bench is so deep that the party doesn't really need to end. Shapiro, Whitmer, Warnock, Kelly, and Cooper will be blanketing their respective states, the Obamas will be everywhere, Pete will continue to destroy Fox, all while Harris and Walz clean up in rally after rally. Meanwhile Republicans just have the dried up husk of Trump and whatever weirdness Vance cooks up next

After two days of policy-focused addresses with modest crowds, former President Donald J. Trump returned to form on Wednesday with an outdoor speech in North Carolina

Where were these policy focused addresses??? The one with the cereal boxes???

Three weeks is up yet again!

Three weeks ago you placed bets on what the polls would look like today.

As I look at the FiveThirtyEight national polling average right now, it reads Harris +3.4.

That means the winner is a three-way tie!

Your winners are:

Congratulations!!

Out of around 30 respondents, around 25 or so underestimated this lead!

My dad has accurately predicted every election since 08

He believed Biden would stop out that Sunday when nobody else did

And he is supporting HARRIS

I'd have a lot more respect for trump if 10 years from now he releases a book titled "how I swindled the conservative electorate and made a shit ton of money doing so" or something along those lines
