Dear Not-a-stupid-person:

If Trump won a slight majority of up to 15% of the population of the northeast, how is that relevant to winning 50.1% of the total voting population of any particular state?

The answer, because I don't suspect you have the brain power to figure it out: it isn't relevant and your question is invalid.

*Forum moderators or people more knowledgable than me, is there an option to mute threads without putting people on ignore since I don't use the ignore function...and I don't believe the ignore function would hide the threads that are wastes of electrons? Thanks in advance.*

Since OP is on ignore, I am going to guess what the point is.
IMO it is obvious why Trump is polling good amongst Italians, Trump acts & speaks like a Mob Boss. Old school Mob Boss not the current day broken Mob Bosses whose primary income is hijacking trucks full of PlayStations or iPhones immediately before Black Friday.
Other than Trump, DeSantis and Christie would appeal to Italians....Haley and Ramaswami probably not.

I'm not a Trump supporter, never have never will. I am just saying that the 2024 election is not going to be a cakewalk and Dems need to prepare for a potential loss in the Electoral College

Every four years it seems like we get these trolls coming out of the woodworks and then once the election is over they scatter like cockroaches.

I’m curious to know what or who is behind this as I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the same type of people come out around the same time every election cycle.

Dems have won the popular vote since 1992, except for 2004, the national security election. The GOP has failed to make an argument for why they should be elected since 1992.....

So are you saying you’re in favor of abolishing the EC?

Joe Biden and his wife ordered the same pasta dish at a restaurant - does this mean NYC is now in play for Trump?


I've carefully considered all angles of this and yes, the US will definitely fall to neo-fascism over a plate of rigatoni. The foodies will revolt and stage another insurrection at the capital, but unlike that last group of pussies, they're really going to mean business.

That article is just plain weird. I'm ordering what I want and if it's the same as someone elses I'm not seeing the problem, I'm certainly not changing my order because of what someone else has!

Seriously. If a dish is good somewhere, I'm not gonna miss out cause someone else got it too. Plus it's cute when couples really like the same stuff.

Man, the once in a rare while my two buddies and I go to a nice steakhouse, we all get ribeyes, but not next time, don't want to offend any NYPOst readers! Those fucking snowflakes!
