I'm going to tell you kids what makes me laugh - and isn't funny at all.
Most of you hate (or at least very much dislike) Trump. You rip on him on here. You say our country is fucked if he gets elected.
Meanwhile, what if anything are you doing to help get Giggles elected - and/or Trump not elected? Other than your circle jerk on here.
Giggles loses and Trump wins, maybe one or two of you will say - Gee, Gutter may have had a decent point. Nah, who am I kidding?
I'll add that so many people in this country are also ignoring the fact that the House and Senate races are huge. My guess is if there is a Senate election in their own state, over 20% of the people voting on November 5th can't name the people running for Senator - and 70%+ can't name the candidates in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Texas, etc.

If I understand it, though, it would be disenfranchisement were the Rs to get the goddamn net and fish this flailing, the-lights-are-dimly-on-but-nobody’s-home candidate out of the deep end of the kiddie pool in which he is drowning.
If Thiel’s, I mean Musk’s, I mean Vance’s plan really is to go all 25th on us…well this video will probably be in the file.

The volume of alarming, disconcerting, disqualifying things that Trump has said and done just in the last week is insane.

Probably the worst part of all of this is that there is a very real chance that, within the electoral framework that we all know exists, this is the future we as a people may well in three weeks choose.

People think Biden looked lost and confused during the debate? What the fuck do we call it when Trump hosts a town hall, answers only 5 questions and then stand in awkward silence swaying to weird music for more than 20 minutes before being led offstage? The dude is cooked and his supporters just do not care. It's completely insane. Such fucking hypocrites. They do not give a fuck about this country at all. They just want the team they cheer for to win.

Fucking MAGA assholes.
There is no question whatsoever that the standards are not remotely similar. And that is probably generous: Trump's supporters seem to hold him to no standards at all.

Or because he holds himself to no standards, they therefore hold themselves to no standards; once you adopt him as your personal lord and savior.

Barring another stolen election, Trump will win. Deal with it. And prepare for a much better country.

Projecting much?
Listen, this is a basketball message board. This is not a PAC strategy room.
You don't know how many meetings or dollars or doors etc. that the rest of us are expending.
If your post was supposed to be a rousing call to action, you did not give or link to a single actionable item to make the first step as simple as possible for people.
btw, if they are on social media, someone has put a swing-state senator's ad in front of them because it would help the party up and down the ballot.

I think it's well below 50%.
Fully recognize this could be little more than confirmation bias at work, but I keep coming back to (1) Trump needing to IMPROVE on his 2020 showing, (2) Dems consistently outperforming polling post-Dobbs, (3) "likely voter" polling samples missing what I suspect are disproportionately-D voters, and (4) Trump winning only 3/4 of the votes in his primary; if even just a meaningful chunk of Haley voters break for Harris (or even simply stay home), that's probably the ballgame.
