Repeat after me:

Polls are bullshit. Polls have always been bullshit. Polls only real impact is to allow people to manipulate statistics to lull voters in a false sense of confidence or security in order to stop them from voting.

Ignore the polls, especially the polls that say your side is winning or the other side is losing. Polls are a very, very effective way to convince voters to stay home without ever asking them or telling them to stay home.

I've never been so happy to be wrong in my life. I thought this would have been the ultimate booster for him, virtually guaranteeing him a huge victory. I'm so relieved people aren't quite as cattle-like as I feared.

It may be, but don't rest easy yet. The war is not over! There is still work to be done. Get out there and vote, get your friends to vote.

I’m right there with you.

I'm actually shocked. I dispise trump but I still thought that image of him holding up his fist and shouting "fight!" was p badass. I thought for sure that, plus sympathy, would give him a big push. I'm relieved it didn't.

For me, the coolness of "fight!" fist pump was completely ruined by him first making sure that he had his high heel shoes on.

That's a good point. I dunno how he even ended up shoeless to begin with

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

There might be validity to the theory that everyone who wanted to vote for a "tough guy" already was before the shogt

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (3 children)

How far away was the dead guy behind him while he was standing triumphantly with a fist in the air?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

This is a really shitty and unfair criticism of his behaviour, if that's what you're implying.

Tree fiddy stretchers away

Trying to provoke a civil war scares moderates. You don't want to be badass after an assassination attempt, you want to be stable.

He's all tapped out and headed for his third big loss in a row.

The poll ran friday-sunday and got most of their responses before the shooting even happened...
