Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

I think you can go off the posts over the last week claiming that celebrity endorsements are a desperate move of a failing campaign.

🤡

And this is different to what Donald Trump had done for the last decade or so?

This is what American politics looks like now, two monkeys flinging poo at each other.

The more they bite the bait Trump puts before them the more they end up talking about him. Which is what listeners hear, and take away. The best way to defeat Trump is to not talk about him. Ignore his bait and focus on what she plans on doing, what policies she stands for, etc.

I think she has this election, but it will be close. My main worry now is how the MAGA goons will react to their messiah failing, because this is his last chance.

How many more incidents like these are we going to see?

I didn't know this element of the election was missing lately until he dropped a new video, but Jordan Klepper is back to finger the pulse:

On why we shouldn't teach the history of pre-emancipation America, 'why? we don't teach Jewish history in the classroom'

"Yes we do?"

'Like what?'

"…The Holocaust."

'I never learned about that.'

…

"I'm curious, what news sources do you follow?"

"I ask questions from Our Lord Above. And honestly I get a lot of stuff from Twitter"

Brace yourselves. At least, he's not alone in the madness and met by eg. our lad from Reno:

He also travels with Edward Young to a Harris rally, in Michigan; you'll recognize Young from many, many, many of Klepper's previous videos, he is a devout but extremely cordial Trump superfan. When Klepper first met him at a Trump event, during his presidency, when his economy was in the sh*tter, Young told Klepper things were doing amazing for him, he is making 4x as much during Covid as 4 years before, etc. which prompted Klepper to ask his occupation: a debt collector.

This is his first Harris rally of course. A few Harris supporters spar with him and he goes to watch Kamala speak etc.

"It's more crowded than I thought."

"I gotta admit: it was fun, I'd do it again."

After that rally, spoiler alert: Klepper spotted him at a different Trump rally … posing as a Firefighter from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

The conclusion him and his guest stars take away from their visits is: the MAGA movement is tired, they feel obligated, but there isn't any clear sense of 'what are we fighting for?' anymore, saying that what began as novelty has really worn off for many of them. For others, they want to be 'cuckolded' (hence, while he didn't mention it, the Daddy vibes from Tucker Carlson the other night)

It's nice to get a report from Klepper again and it seems like he's been saving up several weeks of material to document at once as a singular piece about the home stretch of this election. It's still really wild how delusional some of his supporters are, and I mean - just look at Young, going along with this so much he's fully aware that he's impersonating support for Trump that Trump doesn't necessarily have, from Scranton firefighters. It's as if Jordan et al. say, that they feel obligated to put on the charade, to show up at the rallies (in his case 93+ times) to make the movement seem bigger than more organic than it really is. I mean, if you can get a crowd of 10,000 in any given city, but the overwhelming majority are people that follow you around as superfan groupies, your base isn't really that big, and those people only have 1 vote in 1 polling location. That's the cult for you.

You must have missed the insurrection last time around...

Trump will win, I have no doubt about that. Fed up of the US elections feels like its constant electioneering no wonder they make no progress

The media industry love the whole primary season, then the GE. Nothing worse for them than a one horse race

we had shots in our arms far faster than in any other country.

From memory the UK and Belgium were ahead of them.

Biden appears to have had a "deplorables" moment overnight - at least he's not running.

Let the Trump Republicans stew in their hate talk. There is no need for Democrats to get involved.

Ref the vote of the Puerto Ricans living in the continental US [especially Pennsylvania] those who have already voted in person or by mail-in will have to be subtracted from the overall figure of possible pro-Harris Puerto Rican voters in any polls or abstract estimates of the post-"joke" period going forward. Thousands would have already voted before the "joke" effect started to play in.

EDIT: AFAIK, SCOTUS yesterday threw out a suit by Republicans to have a new level of electoral denial introduced in Pennsylvania, which would have applied to the overseas postal votes. The republicans want SCOTUS to overturn a Penn State Supreme court ruling against their effort to block [amongst others] US Military mail-in votes from being accepted as legitimate by electoral officials.
