Still, the closeness of the race bears repeating what has become something of a mantra here at 538 recently: A close race in the polls does not necessarily mean the outcome will be close. All seven swing states are still within a normal polling error of going to the candidate who is currently “losing”in each. While the polls have identified a close race, our model shows what you should expect if those polls are off.

Margin-of-error polling cannot tell us anything other than that it is too close to call. These headlines are just capitalising on the attention ahead of the actual election.

Yeah, it’s grubby AF. I get that the strategy is to normalise calling your opponent a loser so it feels matter of fact, but it’s absolutely fucked that this is how major political candidates and operations work nowadays.

(Also, Harris won the last election, won the nom, and is still up in the polls, whereas Trump has lost so many major contests since 2016 he’s uniquely qualified to be called a loser)

“No, I’ll let you know when I will be. I will be someday, we all will be someday, but I’ll be the first to let you know,” Trump added.

“Trust me bro”

Yeah, I’m not interested in what most lemmings think is a bad or a good argument.

Are you suggesting that because people aren’t as excited now as they were when Biden first dropped out and endorsed Harris, she’s tanking?

If you are, this is a bad argument. Anyone who knows politics knows her momentum was always going to slow, and polls will ebb and flow.

The polls have shown this is a historically close election, it has been since Harris announced and will be until election day.

Why are these fucks so obsessed with what goes on other people’s bedrooms?

We must block Donald Trump, which is why we urge Uncommitted voters to vote against him and avoid third-party candidates that could inadvertently boost his chances

Isn’t this just saying vote for Harris?

Also, what’s the alternative being promoted? If responding to, debunking, and rebuking the lies of Trump/Vance is “pointing fingers” and adding to negative discourse, then are they suggesting to just shut up about it and let the lies go unchecked? How does that serve anyone’s interest?

Feels like normative bias and the naive belief that Trump can’t cause any real damage and everything will be fine in the end.

Curse words themselves don’t reduce the impact of a sentence on their own. Context is important.

I’ll try ask this in a different way: can you think of a time when a curse word seemed to fit the context of the point being made, or enhanced the impact, or felt powerful or eloquent? Can you remember and share the context of it?

Are you saying there’s never a time where a curse word is appropriate, mr_no_swearing?

“I have the concept of a plan” is fine tho.

She should have just said that she has the concept of a plan and then pivoted to whatever single issue she feels is polling well for her 🙄

You’re talking about a different issue. It just happens to feature a lot of cursing. But cursing itself does not make a remark less clever.

I agree that cursing is often used as a replacement for “um”. But you ever really appreciate someone who knows how and when to curse, with intention and as an infliction? It’s a joy to behold.
