The Clinton narrative will change to "trump is surging and has a real chance" soon. They want to increase turnout.
The only way I know Trump is losing is because the DNC emails I get are now occasionally positive instead of "oh god we're fucked please send us money"
Reagan lied, but his campaign was one of the big successes of the Southern Strategy. Which is all about couching your lies in euphemism and dogwhistles.

...now I REALLY want to see if I can early-vote or write in my vote, or take that day off work. I do NOT want to get off work at 4 or 5 on that day, and find that there actually isn't enough time to vote.
Hi, everyone. We've had a lot of fun in this thread, but I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone about voting leave.
Depending on where you live in this great nation, your employer may be legally required to grant you paid leave if your scheduled hours on Election Day make it difficult or impossible for you to vote. You can check your state laws here.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "But Jedoc! I work a real job where my presence is actually required, and if I tell my employer that they're legally required to give me paid leave, they will probably threaten to put their boot all the way into my butthole!" Well, that's entirely possible, chum. That's why it's important to get your voting plan straightened out now. Perhaps you can offer to ensure coverage on Election Day in exchange for schedule flexibility on an early voting day, or find a colleague who mailed in their ballot to do you a solid and cover your shift while you exercise your franchise.
Whatever you do, make sure you and your employer have a solid plan to ensure that having a job doesn't prevent you from voting, and do it right away. It's good for your manager, it's good for you, and it's good for America.
I can't believe Jill Stein is trying to respond to the John Oliver's bit on third parties.
My favorite part of her entire response is that she doesn't take issue with him calling her out on pandering to conspiracy theorists, or for insulting her terrible, terrible 90s prog rock band. She's cool with all of that.
But accusing her of misunderstanding qualitative easing? That's hypocritical and corrupt. Even though she readily admits she doesn't understand how qualitative easing works.
This is unprecedented. “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers,” Romney’s pollster, Neil Newhouse, said.
This has produced what James Fallows calls the “post-truth” age — a relentlessly dishonest onslaught of brazen falsehoods with which the media and the political system are struggling to cope. What do you do when every article, every “fact-check,” every arbiter denounces a lie and corrects it, but then a politician just keeps repeating it?
Hey Joe it's super hard to have the high ground on inciting violence when you say you want to beat up Donald Trump
I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt here because he has many valid reasons for hating Trump outside of party lines. I think he means if he were a younger more immature man that would be his course of action.
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
Yeah but he shouldn't say it. Like we all want to beat up Donald Trump, but we all also need to be able to repudiate political violence in the strongest terms.

I thought about it, and it's probably a classic "Biden gaffe". He said what many are thinking, it's out there, and everyone will go "Oh Joe..."
Because people like you back the Republicans, you dumbwitted numbskull (Schilling, not JoeUser obviously).
Just... how tone deaf?
"you, yes you. You person who my people have hunted, mocked, persecuted, beaten, and burned at the stake for a few centuries. why don't you support us in elections?"
Gee.
I can't think of a reason. Wow. you sure got me there you feckless windbag. Give me a moment while I forget pogroms and blood libel and the inquisition and lynchings.
"What he said he did and does is the textbook definition of sexual assault," Biden said. "And think about this: It's more than that. He said that, 'Because I'm famous, because I'm a star, because I'm a billionaire, I can do things other people can't.' What a disgusting assertion for anyone to make."
Nominating people the Republicans would like is one of the few things I can believe Trump on because, as you could see in the debate, he doesn't actually care about the Supreme Court at all.

Why are you guys voting on a weekday anyways? Over here election days are always sundays.

Can't vote on the Sabbath. In 19th century America, Wednesday is market day. So on Tuesday you've got folks traveling from the countryside to town so they can get to the market early the next day, but they've still got enough free time for one of the candidates to get them fighting drunk and shove them into a voting booth.
That's got to be some of the most self-absorbed whining I've heard in a long time.
"Don't you dare criticize us for supporting a racist misogynist who is likely a Russian puppet! We're very sad and nobody makes good movies about us!"
Sorry, but I like having voting rights, and the fact my LGBT friends can get married and, you know, exist with slightly less fear that some inbred jackass from the hill country will tie them to a fence.
The most infuriating, thing, though is how the article forgets that 2016 is not the first time rural people have voted.
I'm from West Virginia. If that place were an independent nation, it would be considered a third world country and a prime example of neo-colonialism. Coal and other industries, largely owned out of state, exploit its natural resources and put little to none of that money back into the state economy. Leading to lovely things like endemic poverty and environmental catastrophes like a quarter of the state's water being poisoned. And you want to know the cold, brutal truth?
It's largely their own fault.
The coal industry is dying, so do West Virginians support bringing in new energy industries or adapting their economy into something else? No, they blame the big bad government for killing coal and actively fight against other industries from moving in- such as blocking Tesla from building a factory in the state which would've created hundreds of jobs. Meanwhile, the state legislature they voted for busies itself deregulating milk pasteurization (and subsequently getting sick) and attempting to institute Right to Work which, as we all know, is exactly what an job-starved, poverty-stricken region needs.
Now, do you think these politicians based their campaigns on bringing jobs back to the area, on revitalizing one of most naturally beautiful and bountiful parts of the country? Or do you think it was "religious freedom," "stopping Sharia law from taking over the country," and restoring "law and order?"
And this applies to the whole country. Does anyone think that rural Kansas is better off after voting for Brownback?
Articles like this act like bigotry in rural America is a symptom of deeper troubles, or a reaction to those dastardly "urban elites." Trust me when I tell you that for large swaths of rural America, the hate is a feature not a bug.
it's been gone over before but that article is at odds with what many statistics say about trump voters, in particular that the rural poor is his biggest support base when it is anything but. poorer americans still vote democrat more often than republicans, and trump voters average income is higher than hillary voters.
