Kamala Harris voters, 2024: 70,356,521

People who claim to have been Kamala Harris voters, 2030: 100,000,000+

I heard an interview with a woman who said she voted Republican because, on the one hand, abortion “isn’t that big of a deal” and ought to be left up to the states, but on the other, “doctors shouldn’t be allowed to abort babies after they’re born.”

So this person thinks that doctors are murdering babies… and that should be allowed on a state by state basis. Which… boy oh boy, I’m not sure what to even do with a mind that works that way.

I remember some self-congratulatory headline crowing about how happy we should all be that inflation had slowed and thinking…

There’s still a lot of analysis still to be done, but the Pod Save America guys pointed out that the Harris campaign saw less slippage in states where they were actively competing on the ground than in solidly red states where they didn’t fight as hard. This indicates that the campaign did make a positive difference, just not enough to overcome the negatives.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

I literally heard an interview with a woman who said she voted Republican because, on the one hand, abortion “isn’t that big of a deal” and ought to be left up to the states, but on the other, “doctors shouldn’t be allowed to abort babies after they’re born.”

The American electorate:

“There’s a horse. In the hospital.”

Don’t forget the mood “goo goo for babies”

Turnout was only 54.2% nationally; not sure if that number is significantly higher or lower for Florida in particular.

…conversely…

There’s no need! Their opinions matter even less than third party voters!

Message voting in action:

No I don’t! I tell the truth!

Bluetooth speaker? No! Homemade PVC pipe passive amp? Yes!

I’m just having a hard time imagining a scenario in which it would be offensive…

Plenty where it would be a little confusing. Sandra Dude O’Connor, or Susan Bro Anthony would take some explaining, at the least.

Look at the two dipshits in the back. Imagine being part of a presidential campaign entourage and the best photo you can get is of the candidate’s backside while they’re facing a cavalcade of professional photographers. Put your phone away, you idiot.

I love sitting neck-deep in an outdoor hot tub on a cold day!

It’s a little more expensive, but not dramatically so

Buying boxes of full-sized candy isn’t even that much more expensive than the fun-sized, and the psychological impact is immediate and dramatic. Every year I hear kids go “Woah, big candy bars!”
