They’ve called it here. Economy wins. It’s a good time to buy stocks at the opening bell tomorrow. Just spitballing but if tariffs can raise treasure in place of raising taxes, plus no taxes on overtime…

Senate done, the House will take time. Could be a clean sweep.

It's joever. Harris would have to pull in all WI/MI/NV/AZ to win, and she's trailing by all with enough of a gap that even accounting for the usual surge from mail/absentee ballots it's unlikely.

Who could have guessed that a turn towards the center just leads to people voting for the GOP?

Oh wait; this guy.

Nah, the DNC is just doing the same thing they've done since the end of the New Deal era and Regan's election; moving away from more leftist political ideas and settling in the "left wing" of the newly ushered in Neoliberal policies.

We often forget that, when looking past the "culture war" social issues, most DNC/GOP policies are more similar than not.

When the Dems try to be GOP-lite, I.E. Harris' border policy/"most lethal military" comments, voters drop off.

Trump got the Regan comparison in his first term, but I think it'll really be comparable now on a macro level.

She'd need them all to be able to make 268, with Trump already at 267, just one more state for Trump and bam, bye-bye wHorris.

Agree on stocks. Disagree on tarrifs; It tends to hurt American consumers more. My favorite example is Whirlpool begging for tarrifs, getting them, and then the cost of all washers and dryers went up ~$100 because of steel tarrifs.

She's leading by ~10% in Maine, which has 3 electoral votes. Given that Maine has ranked choice voting, I'm willing to bet the votes for Jill Stein/Cornell West would go to her as well.

It would be crazy though if the scenario played out that way lol.

Imagine some of those states that pushed for their electoral college votes to go for the popular vote winner, even of another candidate won the state. If those laws actually passed...They'd be shitting bricks right now. 🤣

The Dems just tried to get rid of the filibuster not too long ago and they already lost the majority... FFS...
