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

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.

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.

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

Brown was the color of his energy.

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.

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

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

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.

if the nyt workers are able to successfully prevent the needle from being published it will be one of the greatest achievements for organized labor since the invention of the weekend https://t.co/bYK2PS89ZH

ha xp

voted this AM in Brooklyn, longest line i've experienced at any election since Obama in '08, and certainly since moving to NYC in 2012. not a crazy wait, and everything ran smoothly --- was in and out in probably 25 minutes total. but that's with 2-3 times the staffing i've usually seen at this location, and a lot more tables/booths. based on this, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH: Trump is going to get clobbered in New York State. you heard it here first!

i turned on CNN and they were interviewing a Republican guy who had just voted for Harris and one big reason was that he didn't want Musk or RFK Jr. in the White House. I turn on MSNBC and a DIFFERENT Republican guy says the same thing.

Hey, that’s as good a reason as any

impressive for trump to find two guys more off putting than he is

Mr. Trump arrived with his wife, Melania, from his private club and residence, Mar-a-Lago. Pressed by reporters on whether he might concede if he lost, he said, “If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election, I’m going to be the first one to acknowledge it, and I think it’s — well, so far, I think it’s been fair.”

....

It’s really striking how hard that campaign leaned into the absolute worst, they really went for it

Nevada SOS tells @StephanieElam two crucial things: #ElectionDay Nevada is seeing a surge in young voters … which is causing signature curing issues bc young voters aren’t used to signing names.

— Erin Burnett (@ErinBurnett) November 5, 2024

young voters should be able to verify their ballots with a captcha instead

gotta use blockchain
