Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

He's delusional

The only thing that matters is the poll.

It's pretty well established what both candidates are:

Trump: an egomaniac, racist and misogyinist

Harris: a ropey VP with an inglorious term of office behind her

All the memes and twitter videos aren't changing minds in an ossified binary political environment. That's just people trying to comfort themselves that their side's going to win.

The opinion polls are pointing to maybe a Harris win but well within the margin of error. I dont see her chances hardening before 5 November, and I dont see Trump catching and overtaking her narrow lead.

It's all about voter commitment and getting them to the swing state polling booths on the day itself.

The rest of the next 9 weeks or so is just a circus where ad agencies make loads of cash and the media enjoy themselves.

This is exactly what quality campaign advertising and GOT efforts are intended to do. Memes, twitter/TikTok videos, and the like are a sign of the engagement level of voters.

Yer just grumpy.

Donald Trump is delusional and very weird

Rasmussen used to be C+ in the old 538 days.
It's partisan (like some others), but not totally worthless.

Still, I like his model better than the current 538 model (that model had Biden as a favourite against Trump). I'm not willing to pay for a subscription though.

I once met Nate Silver. Nice guy.

WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated 10 individuals and two entities as part of a coordinated U.S. government response to Moscow’s malign influence efforts targeting the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Russian state-sponsored actors have long used a variety of tools, such as generative artificial intelligence (AI) deep fakes and disinformation, in an attempt to undermine confidence in the United States’ election processes and institutions. Beginning in early 2024, executives at RT—Russia’s state-funded news media outlet—began an even more nefarious effort to covertly recruit unwitting American influencers in support of their malign influence campaign. RT used a front company to disguise its own involvement or the involvement of the Russian government in content meant to influence U.S. audiences.

“Today’s action underscores the U.S. government’s ongoing efforts to hold state-sponsored actors accountable for activities that aim to deteriorate public trust in our institutions,” said Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen. “Treasury will not waver in our commitment to safeguarding our democratic principles and the integrity of our election systems.”

All these clowns here, Dave Rubin, Tim Poole, etc., were pushing content that was funded by Russians. How unsurprising.
