Awful.
We had 1000 NCSU students lined up yesterday to fit into a building with 15 voting booths.
Why does it have to be so hard? It's just insane.
I'm sure there's a YouTube video with some MS Paint diagrams out there. I saw it on Twitter though.

it's not as close as the last one at all. Obama was up less than a point vs. Romney in 2012.
Clinton is up by about 5.
Obama won by 7 vs. McCain in 08 and that was a blowout.
Turn off CNN.
go take a walk.

Geting a bunch of right wing tea party idiots elected down ballot.
Fair's fair--that Michael Moore fly is a pretty identifiable caricature, I recognized it even before I zoomed in and saw that his hat was helpfully labeled "FLINT".
On the other hand, how out of fucking touch is Ben Garrison?
yes.
Even Garrison has given up on the shoe. Sad!

Whether you like it or not, the media dictates public opinion and they have screwed Clinton over with this bullshit. Even now they can't just say they cleared her and it's a positive.
It's in the back of my mind every time I leave the city. Walking around, knowing that >90% of the white voters I encounter find Trumpism tolerable or even good.. that knowledge taints things. A bit freaky.

It wasn't any better before in this country.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't think that's a fair assessment.
Political parties in America are coalitions of a lot of broad interests.

I have a theory about why, but I don't feel comfortable disclosing it publically. PM me and I'll let you know my theory.
Or you know what, I could tell you all in the PoliGAF thread on Wednesday to prove it's not bullshit.
This I want to hear.
With all of the subtlety of a freight train.
We've never atoned for our original sin as a nation. We need to keep fighting the good fight, win over hearts and minds one by one, and make progress through legislation bit by bit. I feel like Blue Origin's motto needs to be the rally cry for progressives going forward. Gradatim Ferociter.
Step by step, ferociously.
I agree. At least 30% is the correct answer. The remainder are just OK with it, which makes them just as bad.

He has a 90% lead with whites?
EDIT: Ah, in your local context. Carry on.

He's in New Orleans..so yeah.
Dude has already mobilized Somali voters to vote against him in some states with his anti-immigrant/anti-somali rhetoric. I wonder if he will be shocked when he loses the muslim demographic by a massive margin.

it's not 40% of the country.
only about 120 million people bothered to vote in 2012, so that's your likely voter pile. Everyone else was too young or just doesn't care.
about 40% of those are planning on voting Trump, so 48 million.
There are racists in this pile, but there's also hardcore evangelicals, insane single issue voters re: abortion, and wealthy people who put their love of tax cuts above everything else.
Those people would vote for anybody. They're just as disgusting as the racists are, but if we assume that clinton's "about half" number is right, then there are only 24 million bigots out of a country of 330 million.
This doesn't really keep me up at night- in fact its less than i would have thought.

Blitzer, and I don't think it's really close

I think it's Todd because people actually take him seriously at this point. Blitzer is a caricature.
Chuck Todd. Wolf sound really cool in commercials, while saying nothing.
Typical. Good thing no one is watching CNN tonight except for partisans/political junkies like us.
Fuck everyone associated with Donald Trump and his fucking campaign.
This is just...wow.
Him making fun of the disabled is in my opinion the most disgusting thing he has done.

So, this is how a White Resentment Party tries to feverishly hold on to power. Step on these fuckers' necks, and don't let off.
Miss me with the, "But they're not ALL bad people" BS. They've put their chits in the basket with the rest of the deplorables

Dems up nearly 3.5k votes in Duval today.

Go out and vote, there'll be pizza's provided for the waiting masses.
Yep, Wolf and CNN in general just seem bummed that something remotely positive for Hillary arose during Operation Dead Heat. Why do I continue to watch? Why do I hate myself? I plan on taking this Wednesday off from work, come what may. Hopefully I will be drinking homemade Hillary-themed cocktails.
Their map with Nevada as yellow since Saturday is bizarro world.
True, but the people in these coalitions seem to turn a blind eye to their less than favorable cohorts. Their has to be either an air of cowardice or acceptance, that allows a coalition such as the one trump as formed, to be able to hold itself together as it does. And based on the actions of many prominent and supposedly brave republicans, it seems awfully a lot like acceptance.
Us Holmeses are pretty legit.
Fuck everyone associated with Donald Trump and his fucking campaign.

Likely when the data come out tomorrow, more Hispanics will have voted early in FL than all Hispanics voted in 2012

That's shocking. I've always assumed Duval was clearly Republican territory due to all of the Confederate fans and military there.
