[Present Not Past]

They patiently waited for Bruce Springsteen to perform.

Why?
He's touring the US.
You're an idiot.

What we won’t know until the Votes are actually counted is how many Republicans have voted for Harris, the Never Trumpers, the RINOs, those who have seen who he really is, the women who want to have bodily autonomy. I think she will pick up a fair few votes there.
The GAZA reaction has to play out too. She may lose some votes.

Apart from rusted on MAGAS I can’t see where Trump gets extra votes. Will RFKj have an effect.? Are people that dumb? Maybe. Will Musk’s antics have an effect? Who knows.

And then there’s voter suppression etc.

Yes will be interesting to see how many switch allegiances or sit this one out and that’s why the whole thing is an unknown.
In a sane country it would be more clear cut, but this is America.

You would hope so.

Polling apps are hiding in the basements.
LOL.

American shoppers will "bear the brunt" of Trump tariffs: Rand Paul

If foreign manufacturers are forced to pay higher duties, the impact will be felt by average Americans, Senator Paul warned in an op-ed on Wednesday.

The end times have come. I agree with something Rand Paul has said.

Still waiting for the Trumpets to explain how tariffs solve inflation.

It’s probably the same 44% that will vote for him

Gerrymandering impacts the House, it has an infinitesimally small impact on the Electoral College and hence the presidential race. And Dems play the game just as much as Republicans.

Yes, gerrymandering is a form of corruption, yes Republicans do it more than Democrats, but to suggest that Republicans would have significantly less presidents because of the practice is folly.

I thought (and stand to be corrected) that part of the gerrymandering was the allocation (or lack thereof) of voting places in urban areas (often with long queues) and tend to be democrat compared to access for rural areas (which also tend to vote Republican)

 

[Crankyhawk]

It’s for signing a petition and it doesn’t matter who you voted for? Is that correct

Seems to come across like votes for sale (for the chance of money)

Gerrymandering is the process of re-drawing district maps to favour your side to gain more political power. It's done every 10 years after the census (last done in 2020). In the US, generally state legislatures control this process, although more and more Democratic states are wanting to have it done independently.

What you're talking about is not gerrymandering per-se, but it is a result of the gerrymandering process whereby almost exclusively it is Republican states and counties that engage in voter suppression tactics.

So even though Democrats have done lots of gerrymandering in the last few years, it is to have almost the opposite effect to what you're saying. They are trying to gain more power to give more access for people to vote: more places; early voting (and increased early voting period); drop boxes etc.

During the 2020 election, a lot of the Republican lawsuits were against Democratic-led Covid initiatives that specifically increased the early voting period and the number of drop boxes. The lawsuits almost exclusively failed.

Nuclear War would really clean out the swamp. I’m voting Harris now.
