Cliff Varnell Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Ambivalence in action... https://split-ticket.org/2024/07/10/we-polled-the-nation-heres-what-we-found/ President Joe Biden trails former President Donald Trump by one point in a survey conducted by Split Ticket and Data For Progress. The poll was conducted online between July 1–3, 2024 with a sample size of N=2,067 likely voters, and was weighted to be representative of age, gender, education, race, geography, and the recalled 2020 vote.

Cliff Varnell Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago The GOP platform calls for an "Iron Dome" missile defense shield across the entire country, a massive increase in military spending. They also call for tax cuts for the rich. Top Trumpers Steve Bannon and Kash Patel promise "the biggest infrastructure project in history" -- a network of "detention centers" for undocumented immigrants, "tent cities" for the swept-up homeless, and we can be sure black sites for the lefty vermin. A gulag, Where will the money come from for all? "Reform" of Social Security and Medicare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes; I mean, if Trump is elected, Social Security and Medicare are definitely gone. Gotta pay for those rich guy tax cuts too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bauer Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago These polls showing a tighter race than the 6% point Trump advantage leading ones are missing a grave point. That is that the huge money Trump/Repub machine is making sure the most important states that were lost by no more than 20,000 votes and which gave Biden the electoral vote in 2020 will "not" be lost again. I have heard interviews of Repub campaign officials in which they state they are doing whatever it takes to swing those states and their electors back to Trump this November. They aren't concerned with winning the popular vote. Same old tactic the Repubs used to take the Presidency in 2,000 and 2016. Gore beat Bush with the popular vote and Hillary beat Trump in the popular vote...by 3 million! But winning the popular vote meant nothing as the Repubs won the electoral vote game those years. They KNOW how to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this time around the Trumpers are more skilled, but I wonder. The Donks are readying up absentee-voter plans, and related "ballot-harvesting" programs. Those were effective in 2020. I think Biden will win. What the Deep State wants...it gets? Edited 16 minutes ago by Benjamin Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Cole Posted 14 minutes ago Author Share Posted 14 minutes ago Not sure I agree with this cartoon. The Deep State may hold onto Biden as the only option us has in 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
