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

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

Teetotitarian

looks like a last minute shake up in the race....saw this on my morning walk today

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.

So true. Also: even the most experienced canvasser will freeze delivering a script, so a buddy helps.

Thank you for doing that, Prefecture!! I'm in deep blue california

Just finished canvassing around Madison, feeling good. Most knocks went unanswered, but those that did answer were for Harris. One woman stressed that *she* was for Harris, indicating her husband was not.

Harris Philly rally tonite:

guest speakers DJ Jazzy Jeff, Fat Joe, Oprah, and special musical guests Adam Blackstone, DJ Cassidy, Freeway and Just Blaze, Jazmine Sullivan, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and The Roots.

all the latest acts lol

Jazmine!

Matthew 10:36: And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

“FoxNews keeps putting on Democrat ads, as part of their news program. Their soundbites are almost all of Harris and her Democrat friends, all of whom are on the shows,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Sunday morning.

“FOX NEWS IS NOT OUR FRIEND. It’s crazy!” Trump continued.

Still not as ridiculous as Kerry pulling out James Taylor and Sheryl Crow on solo acoustic guitar in 2004

Shower the people you love with meh

they had james taylor booked for this years dnc

Freeway is an all time rapper

there's a big intersection here where pick-up political rallies usually congregate, I remember the day before the election in 2016 you had a dozen Trump supporters on each corner, then in 2020 you had one side for Trump and one for Biden. right now there's only one 60-some year old lady out there with a handmade sign that's just full of Trump's most disgusting quotes. I rolled down my window and yelled "FUCK DONALD TRUMP" to her and she blew me a kiss. felt bad yelling the F-word at what was probably someone's grandma but it felt good. it really does feel like this country is just fucking done with him.

this has historically been one of the better pollsters, at this point it seems pretty damn undeniable that things have shifted Harris's way in the final weeks

👀 Final PBS/NPR/Marist poll shows Harris wiping out Trump’s lead among men

Trump down from +16 among men last month to just +4 now

Harris still leads among women by double digits (+11) pic.twitter.com/XPTUUBLotD

Ralston (the annoying but historically otm Nevada poll watcher) just released his final prediction for Nevada: Harris by 0.3 points.

If that's right and Nevada voters can cure ballots until the weekend it's going to be a long week.

if other recent polls hold true Nevada ain't gonna matter

Gotta keep Fat Joe away from all after what he did for the Yankees
