Does _anybody_ use the word "refute" correctly these days?
It doesn't mean "rejects" or "denies" or "contradicts".
Refutation’s an intellectual process, involving the presentation of evidence leading to a neutral observer's acceptance of the contrary case. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
(Or is this one of those things like "literally" where even the dictionaries have given up and changed the definition because it gets misused so frequently?)

That "thud" you heard was a brick being emitted from Mitch McConnell's anus.
The Texas numbers also are not good for Rs showing Allred is running ahead of Harris. If the margins there end up being anything like 2020 Cruz could be in actual trouble.
Interesting side-issue.

I would imagine that group would heavily lean Democrat (except possibly for Israeli-Americans? Wouldn't surprise me if they opt more for Trump, as that's how Israelis overall lean). Also would imagine that there might be some disgruntlement from Republicans at their voting at all - seems a genuinely debatable question whether people who don't live in a country should get to decide what happens there.

In the rush to defeat Trump, we’re suddenly on the frontline. It’s a shame, then, that so few of us actually vote, says Guardian Europe columnist Alexander Hurst

In which it is proposed that another Trump admin will mass deport American citizens intentionally. This is ethnic cleansing not immigration policy.

That's what worries me.. I'm not worried about polls because we know what is wrong with Trump. What the fuck is wrong with people who support Trump?
What do the followers want?
It's not the economy.. that's just an excuse.
And I'm telling you to forget about the polls since if Trump praising Hitler and recreating the Nazi rally doesn't move the polls.. will anything?

If that "secret" is that if Trump loses congressional Rs will conspire to reject EVs from some states so that the House decides the election that is an insane plan that is very unlikely to work. A majority of the house and senate would be required to reject a state's electoral votes. Even if they managed it the country would explode.

Anybody who actually attends one of these things was already, long ago, totally unreachable. Full cult members.

Optimism bias: It'll happen to other people, not to me!
Reminds me of a buddy of mine who was vacationing in Thailand and he didn't keep up with his visa renewals (it was a complicated process but you needed to LEAVE the country after 90 days and come back - so fly out, fly back in).. he assumed the Thai authorities would only deport the Africans and stuff.. and he walked into a tourist area and they checked passports and caught him and deported him. Didn't even allow him to go to his hotel to get stuff.
True story btw.

Yeah, all the latinos who are voting for Trump don't believe that they will be impacted personally in any way. I think they are probably wrong and it is an insane risk to run at all.

Yeah well this guy was Indian. He supports Trump too so I sorta reduced contact with him after I got tired of his Trump is so awesome comments..
I really do think in New York/ California at least a lot more people who're immigrants are voting Trump now.. and that's what's skewing the polls nationally.. like they wouldn't bother to vote before as they were safe blue states.. but now they might be "leaning D"?

A lot of unions are eagerly headed into the face eating leopard cage proclaiming that they will not eat their face.

A lot of people that actually are worried about the economy think Trump is better for the economy.
What they don't understand is prices depend on corporations and those corporations are basically in bed with Trump.
Sounds like someone needs to get a visit from the FBI to determine what 'secrets' they're referring to.

Dipshits. It doesn't matter if your state laws might protect organizing when the company would just turn to the NLRB. One good example is grad student unionization efforts under Obama, then Trump, then Biden: total zig-zag thanks to who appointed members of the board.

They are worried about the economy because they are in information bubbles fed by algorithms that tell them what they want to hear.
Nevermind that wages are up, inflation is down, and unemployment has been doing great. And on top of it all, people are rushing to spend money, or spending more on eating out (whereas grocery budgets are flat), or going on vacations. Those don't sound like activities that happen when the economy is bad.

You see I'm not a bad guy.. I'm just a little ahead of the curve.
You didn't expect it would be that easy such as just winning an election.. did you?
