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

freakin epic

EPIC For Libertarians

EPIC (for "Every Politically Independent Citizen") is an Endorsement Party. We are running no candidates, but we point all to the most Conserva-tarian / liberty-minded / Jeffersonian / American candidate in a race.

Libertarians almost always win that award. So long as they are serious about changing minds and potentially GOVERNING, the Libertarians gain our endorsement.

damn they got montana and marino

Cincinatti is a racist shithole, Cleveland is as well but it’s at least interesting

seems like the epic "party" is just that one guy mark stewart greenstein and he goes around endorsing people apparently if theyre running or not and he runs for office himself

it was cool when the river caught fire that one time

cleveland's football team is just named a color, and not even a pleasing color. not even a color they use on their helmets! WTF is up with that

update: the two bomb threats in Georgia came from Russia.

good to see Trump and Russia still closely aligned

flopson otm re: cincinnati I love that place unreservedly

it rocks. i live in columbus now (which, while i would never defend or call “good” or “nice” isn’t nearly as bad as i expected) but we went to cincinatti recently for a weekend and were like damn can we move here

did you have the chili

it should be the only type of football team name. there are enough colors to go around

Buffalo Blue
Boston Green
Chicago White

Cincinnati R-

Lol, team is not named after the color. Named after their coach/gm/owner(?) whose last name was Brown.

Paul Brown yea

I used to lie to friends who didn't know much about football that the name came because the coach threw his hat one day in the 50s and said "you play like SHIT!"

and what was he named after? fuckin checkmate bro

yeah, they should be more committed to the Brown. all-brown unis.

brown is like poop its like a ups truck and its like poop

yeah i mean their helmets aren't even brown, who told them that orange is brown

Does a 'Yes' vote mean OTM?

― Mordy, Monday, October 6, 2008 4:07 PM bookmarkflaglink

its like carrot bits in poop only mostly carrots

― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Monday, October 6, 2008 4:07 PM bookmarkflaglink

Cleveland - like UPS they rarely deliver
Cleveland - like poop, they are poop

― your self-declared bacon of common sense (Roberto Spiralli), Monday, October 6, 2008 4:08 PM bookmarkflaglink

i wish they had chosen the name because of the color brown and the orange uniforms because of the color brown. it's all so awesomely oblique.

― horseshoe, Monday, October 6, 2008 4:08 PM bookmarkflaglink

i like how they dont have a logo - thats sort of tough - like their logo is covered in poop

― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Monday, October 6, 2008 4:09 PM bookmarkflaglink

Brown was the color of his energy.

xp

The most interesting Ohio story to me will always be the disastrous Balloonfest '86.

After learning of “too many people are moving to Florida” discourse, I’m in on this theory

“Ron DeSantis accidentally created a Republican voter heat sink” theory is still in play https://t.co/mvwhQE70TZ

agreed i like the name and lack of logo its primitive

Philly at 630,000 (85% of 2020) already is going to make things tough for Donald. I also see that Hamilton County OH is almost at a similar pace, which might not matter presidentially, but bodes well for Sherrod Brown's chances.

Way way past the weeds, down to the soil, is that Dem voter turnout in Paso Robles is looking fantastic for flipping the D1 City Council seat, making those fine pinot noirs taste even better. With 2 Repubs splitting the conservative vote, I think we got this for Beal!

the head of Trump's GOTV is spooked:

Turnout is mixed and not where we want it to be. We need more people to vote. We can't let turnout flatline.

Text everyone you know.

Make more noise.

We need more.

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) November 5, 2024

lmao just realized i was agreeing with myself there xxp

when you hire a poster to run your gotv he will try to do it via posting xp

Was Charlie Kirk the little secret?

Josh Marshall posted a list on Twitter of various people posting about turnout and other election results. I've been trying to read through it, but honestly just don't understand any of it enough to tell whether any piece of news is good or bad.

I feel like it's easy to get hung up on tiny bits of data that don't mean a whole lot in the end. However the Philly turnout numbers are very good news, as Philly is like as Deep Blue as it gets.

I see a few people making the logical error that

1. heavily democratic demographic group is expected to vote a bit more republican this year than in 2020
2. therefore it is bad if that group turns out

to be clear, if a group voted for Biden 90/10 and is going to vote for Harris 80/20, you still want them to vote. you still want them to vote if they vote for Harris 51/49!

also good in that trump closing his EC deficit means his good national polls aren’t as informative about the EC

what I said yesterday about CNN vs MSNBC:

Nicolle Wallace: "Don't sleep on men."

Maddow: "I've been saying that my whole life!"

so the betting markets swinging back to Trump today, just manipulation of a few whales, or something more?

wrong thread

Good news:

Happy to report that Proud Boys in Miami are completely absent from anything happening on the ground this election cycle. Our work helped make that possible. 💪🥳 https://t.co/CMbf0EZxVb

so the betting markets swinging back to Trump today, just manipulation of a few whales, or something more?

Honestly, who gives a fuck? If there was a way for everyone betting on the election to lose all their money, that would be the ideal outcome.

lol wait we care about betting markets?

bettors dont know anything anyone else doesnt, also a lot of that shit has to be fake/fraud

anyway they havent been super predictive in the past so who cares

One thing we know about gambling is that bettors never lose.

Trump is a memestock anyway

lmao what a guy

When we see the single votes for Paul Ryan and Rashida Tlaib we will know the culprits

I miss posting about NRO:

Potentially big development: If the Philly turnout tracker is accurate, Puerto Rican turnout, which is traditionally very low, may already be reaching total 2020-level turnout... at 11:30am

Is the hype real? pic.twitter.com/jepdUFxmrY

Given that a Trump win in Florida was inevitable, this is actually good news for Dems, in that it strongly suggests that the GOP Electoral College coalition is not going to be as efficient as it was in 2020 or 2016 https://t.co/7cqUXCokrG

xxpost Dougherty's really huffing fumes there.

probably no needle to freak us out tonight

As a result, I do not know whether we will be able to publish the needle. There are good reasons to bet against it, though perhaps there are scenarios where things are running super smoothly; alternately, we hit bugs at the start and there's no chance.
