According to some of the information in here they seem to be claiming we're still overestimating Dem performance in presidential elections, but that midterm elections where Trump isn't on the ballot thing are more accurate. :(

Yeah... I'm still fucking pissed about it, but I knew they were going to pull this bullshit...

Where's the BiAsEd MeDiA complaints now Magoos? Oh that's right, you never actually gave a shit, you just want to "win" at all costs.

Sure, I wish we had a left wing candidate or a left wing party. But you can’t vote in the election you want, you vote in the election you’ve got.

Exactly. This is billionaire media controlled America. We don't get to have a left wing party, we get a "left wing" relative to the rightmost wing party which also goes and calls their so-called left wing opposition communist... It's laughably absurd.

I'm almost positive Trump wins with how close all the swing states are now and how he's improving in polling (what the actual fuck people?!) the closer we get to the election.

I'm also almost positive we will not know for sure on election night as I absolutely expect R controlled states to drag their feet and declare "irregularities" that they need to investigate if they don't like the way things are going.

"It must not have happened, I'm still not in prison or anything so it must have been a dream!"

"No sir, the world just bends over backwards for you. They gave you enough time to win the election before they move to sentence you. When you win this election you get to get away with it all."

No you don't get it, HAMAS was there! They're in the schools, they're in the trees, they're in the dumpster, they're in the basement and in the garage, they're in the soil and in the wind, HAMAS is the sun and the moon, they're everywhere!!! It's their fault we have to bomb everything! We'll never be safe until we nuke the entire planet! HAMAS is in me! AHHHH!!!

"Trump, criticizing the fact that asylum seekers who arrive at the border have access to a US legal process before they are deported, falsely claimed that “No other country has judges at the border.” In reality, the US is far from the only country to let asylum seekers make their case before judges or legal tribunals."

What the actual fuck asshole? How do you expect us to process that shit?

They're so fucked up. "Illegals illegals!" Also "you're not allowed to help process asylum claims!"

Should we help the normal immigration process speed up by adding funding to those processes so all immigrants can be legally processed? MAGA: lalalalalala I can't hear you lalalalalala ILLEGALS!!

Get fucked... I can't believe he's going to win.

That was a different town hall I believe

The polls are always underestimating GOP support whenever Trump is specifically on the ballot. Midterm polling is more accurate.

A 0~+1 Harris lead is almost certainly a +4 Trump lead...

Soooooooo "glad" to see we are going in the Reich direction here...

I honestly wouldn't be so upset about a "mom and pop" landlord that is renting their basement or garage (where I currently live...) if they weren't charging more than their fucking mortgage for it...

It's infuriating that I'm paying for their house but I have to live in a garage because I was late to the party and new loans/house prices are absolutely bat shit insane...

But but "the market!"

The market:

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
