    The example I heard about from a dem organiser was about a focus group of POC voters who openly acknowledged Trump was a racist, but just felt the economy was better for them during the Trump years. This of course might well be true e.g low interest rates, less pressure on rental prices etc So it is an example of low info voters who could be persuaded to vote dem and don't like trump. This is where most of the campaign action is as Trump is 10 points underwater on fav/unfav

    This is the part of the argument that frustrates me. The pandemic was likely allowed to grow in severity because of Trumps disbandment of the group set up to prevent such things, which was started by Bush, but enhanced by Obama. He wouldn't even take a transition briefing from them.

    Now, we don't know how bad the pandemic would have been if that group/plan had been in place, but it surely would not have been as severe. At least in the US.

    All Trump's plans for the economy are inflationary or disruptive. Tariffs will increase prices. Banning food imports will increase prices. Capping credit card interests at 10% will disrupt the markets. Allowing insurers to choose who they insure will create disparities in coverage that will lead to higher prices for those with higher risk.

    Will you accept higher inflation to pwn the Wok3?

    ah thanks for that.
    I read "Yet that state of detente may be set to unravel. The Maine legislature has now gone out of session," and assumed the recall was no longer an option.

    I don't know if any of you follow this group or not, but Trump getting elected could have much more far-reaching consequences.

    They are showing how Trump loyalists in positions of authority in certain states are planning to disrupt the certification of the election should Trump lose.

    He is cooked.....Stick a fork in him!

    North Carolina Republicans are bracing Thursday morning as word spreads about a damning news story looming regarding Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson,” the Carolina Journal reports.

    “Sources with direct knowledge have spoken with Carolina Journal on the condition of anonymity and said that Robinson is under pressure from staff and members of the Trump campaign to withdraw from the governor’s race due to the nature of the story, which they say involves activity on adult websites in 2000s.”

    “Thursday evening is the state deadline to withdraw from the race. The deadline to remove Robinson’s name from the ballot already has passed.”

    Audrey Fahlberg: “The article focuses on unsavory comments Robinson made in several online chatrooms… If what I’m hearing is correct, this story will nuke Robinson’s already dwindling chances of flipping termed-out Democratic governor Roy Cooper’s seat.”

    Bryan Anderson: “Robinson cancelled two campaign events on Thursday scheduled for Vance and Warren counties. The move came in anticipation of a forthcoming CNN story.”

    You know it's bad if the Trump campaign is urging you to drop out. Thing is, it's not really about Robinson's behavior. It's that he was such a dipshit in not covering up his activities and, well, that he's not Donald Trump.

    Trump paid hush money to a porn star he was having a affair with, for God's sake. He's on tape saying he thinks it's okay for him to grab women by the.. you know what. He hosted Nick Fuentes for dinner at Mar-a-lago and pals around with Laura Loomer.

    He’s on his way to losing and this makes it worse, plus since NC is a key state in this race, and we don’t have a Senate race that would also drive turnout for the whole state, that might be a factor. Bad news will cripple the state GOP’s enthusiasm, ergo it’s GOTV, ergo that hurts Trump.

    Just a theory. Or maybe being an ex Nazi is a bigger factor because his opponent is Jewish. (According to Wikipedia he attends Temple Beth Or, which is where a lot of the folks around here who are lefty activists go, whenever something pops up in the news.)

    Or maybe it’s something worse.
