U.S. Politics, November 2024: GARBAGE DAY!!

It was… KAMALA ALL ALONG

the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels the Elon Musk of squirrels

When I was nine I learned survival
Taught myself not to care
I was my single good companion
Taking my comfort there
Up in my room I planned my conquests
On my own; never asked for a helping hand
No one would understand
I never asked the pair who fought below
Just in case they said "No!"

Pity the squirrel who has ambition
Knows what he wants to do
Knows that he'll never fit the system
Others expect him to

Pity the squirrel who knew his owners
Saw their faults
Saw raccoon Fred die before his eyes
Pity the squirrel that wise
He never asked "Did I cause your distress?"
Just in case they said "Yes!"

"Get Musk & Squirrel!"

It's true that squirrel liked to do park ketamine

meanwhile

Great ground game example in Georgia -- the Trump door knockers showed up at a friend's house. They asked for his mom, who does not live there anymore and who has already voted, and never bothered with him, who is a registered Republican and has not voted yet.

I’m scrolling past every post about this foolishness

At this time tomorrow no one will be thinking about it

it's fun for lols until a pro-squirrel hate group forms

yeah plus just go on the squirrel guy's instagram. barf. it was all about him not the squirrel. poor squirrel had to live with those gross people.

I have no idea what this squirrel thing is about and refuse to investigate further

rumor has it the squirrel had a gambling debt

Mike Davis wrote a great essay on brush and fires in Malibu.

Trump insulting Giannis in Wisconsin seems like an unforced error, Giannis is beloved by people of every political stripe here

I do not want Trump/Vance to ruin squirrels for me.

One of my favorite things to do is take song lyrics and replace the word "girl" with "squirrels."

I am just a squirrel in the world, squirrels just wanna have fun, squirrel you know it's true, etc.

It works the other way, too:

It’s your world and I’m just a girl
Trying to to get a nut
So move your butt
To the dance floor

squirrels on film

i don't get the baby thing in this. seems icky!

those engines were blowing all computers

Help computer

that beer thing is so cringe

sub sixth grade humor

I thought RFK Jr. is going to ban everything fun

the way he awkwardly moves to get the big beers in the shot

A six-pack under Harris is a normal six-pack. Okay.

I got big beers
You got big beers

Famous beer-lover Donald Trump

I hope they all drink a six of tall boys tomorrow and forget to vote

Lmao

Perot Power!

yeah, it's tall boys under Harris? She's got my vote

Trump insulting Giannis in Wisconsin seems like an unforced error, Giannis is beloved

To Trump, who pays no attention to the NBA and has no feel for sports fandom humans, Giannis is just a tall freak and an immigrant with a foreign name he can make fun of.

beers should be 12 ounces imho why did we start putting beers in the 16oz cans at the same time we started making them really strong now its like oh i guess ill have one beer

Michael Moore is now saying Trump is absolutely toast, I do very much recall a lot of people telling him to shut up and go away when he predicted Trump was gonna win in 2016

thrill is gone

are they being paid

counterpoint: when I want to have a single beer on a weeknight while relaxing at home, it's nice to have a tallboy because you get just enough extra beer that you're not tempted to have another whole can or bottle. it's a good amount when all you want is one.

uh oh

perhaps the most telling sign of the last 72 hours, even the biggest Democratic worrywarts are sounding optimistic

this is how you win biggly

Former President Trump told supporters Sunday that he wants to put former NFL player and failed GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker in charge of a new missile defense shield if elected.

lol what

random

“Thanks, Jonald! I won’t let you jown!”

I went to Georgia to doorknock with the Athens dems, and their office was a glorious hub of activity. Local bakeries were dropping off free rolls and donuts, some place gave us chicken and waffles, and one dude said that he couldn't canvass, so instead he left several 6-packs of beer and hard seltzer.

Of all the the people who answered their doors, I got 0 Trump supporters and only 1 undecided, even among people who were listed as 'no data' or independent. Either the lists were too safe and lacked persuadables, or the Athens and Bogart Dems have a solid understanding of their electorates.

The Dem yard signs ran the gamut from the stock Harris/Walz types to the more arty Etsy/homebrew vibe or the Barbie variations. I also saw "Presidents are temporary, Wu-Tang is Forever" or "Weezy 2024 - more treats", continuing my theory that Dems will win because we are the side having more fun. The Repub signs were only the stock Trump styles (a few with, one without the name of Trump's craven, couch-fucking toady shape-shifter), or nonsensical "Trump = Safety, Harris = Crime" or "I'm voting for the felon!" delusions that make me wonder if these weirdos spend their entire existence annoying the fuck out of the few friends or family they've yet to alienate, or white-knuckly waiting for a jump scare. Such houses were not on our list.

For those of you who plan on hitting some doors during the final 2 days, let me offer a few suggestions to make the process as stress-free as possible, and maybe even fun:

-If they pair you with someone, and you both have enough time (and daylight), knock all doors together rather than splitting up. It will take longer, but I've found that people are surprisingly more likely to open the door for 2 people than for 1, plus you have another set of hands to assist with the multiple flyers/door hangers, the MiniVAN phone app, and the knocking/talking. Not to mention when you have an encounter at a door that does not quite go as planned - which you will, at least once - there's someone to share the "What the hell was that?" convo afterwards.

-If there is no doorbell, knock in a rhythm that feels more friendly and less "we're here to repossess your furniture". I know it sounds intuitive, but before we got a doorbell, our residence regularly got canvassers with aggro-sounding knocks.

-Wait until you've returned to the sidewalk before entering your data, so you don't trip and fall because you forgot that this house had 3 steps leading to the door, whereas the last one only had 2.
