+k1uway4,16q5sqi,"Make no mistake, it's absolutely possible Trump wins the 2024 election","All of these articles fixate on polling, which is not particularly useful this far out, and most don’t even mention party performances in this year’s special elections. 
+
+Special elections the year before a presidential election are very predictive of that election, and in 30 special elections across a dozen states this year…Democrats have outperformed the district’s normal political lean by 11 points on average. 
+
+That is actual election data. It is voter action. It encompasses thousands and thousands of Americans and nearly a quarter of all states…and it is an 11 point overperformance on average. 
+
+I can’t take any nailbiter fretting seriously if it doesn’t have an explanation for that.",1578,2023-09-23 14:34:50

+k1vqir9,16q5sqi,"Make no mistake, it's absolutely possible Trump wins the 2024 election","I keep saying that Texas is not a red state - it’s a non-voting state.
+
+It’s gerrymandered within an inch of its life, which suppresses voting.
+
+It limits early voting, which suppresses voting.
+
+It moves polling places away from areas where people who don’t vote republican live, which suppresses voting.
+
+It limits the number of voting machines in places where people who don’t vote republican live, which suppresses voting.
+
+Additionally, somehow, it’s only voting machines in non-republican areas that consistently malfunction, or that don’t have enough supplies on hand, which suppresses voting.
+
+It limits places to drop off mail-in ballots, which suppresses voting.
+
+It limits what forms of ID are acceptable at polling places to only those that their supporters are most likely to have, which suppresses voting.
+
+It ignores judicial decisions that do not favor republicans, the effects of which suppresses voting.
+
+It suppresses and oppresses minorities at every opportunity, which suppresses voting.
+
+Literally EVERYTHING that republicans can do to suppress voting, they maximize here in Texas.
+
+Why?  Because Texas is the ballgame.  If they lose Texas’ electoral votes, they’d have to alter their message in order to win votes somewhere else.
+
+And republicans have absolutely zero interest in doing anything that doesn’t include hatred, intolerance, cruelty, racism, fascism, and promotion of evangelical conservatism at the expense of the rest of the country’s rights.",563,2023-09-23 17:48:27

+
+I think we should all reach out to our family and friends and talk to them. I think so many Americans are in the dark because the mainstream media is ignoring things like Project 2025 while promoting ""Biden is too old"". Even NPR had a long story about Biden being too old this past week. Corrupt donnie was found guilty of sexual assault and -no one- is mentioning that.

+If corrupt donnie were to get into the White House again (and it is very very possible) democracy will be **over** in the USA.

+k1vnu1v,16q5sqi,"Make no mistake, it's absolutely possible Trump wins the 2024 election",The delusional people on the right literally think the dead son of a long dead democratic president will resurface and support Trump. Reality doesn’t exist for these people and Trump dying will not stop them. I’m afraid how insane they will get with theories once Trump dies. Look at the photoshop memes of Trump when we have irrefutable evidence every day of what he really looks like.

The most click baity “news” companys put out shit like this because they know who their audience is which is the majority of the American internet. So they put up these articles because they’ll drive the most clicks but it also drives a narrative subconsciously in American minds. It erodes hope. 
+
+We need investigative journalists. We need the 630 news. We need good, online newspaper style outlets. But we never needed this 24-Hour News Cycle that has now morphed into reality tv.

+k1v5des,16q5sqi,"Make no mistake, it's absolutely possible Trump wins the 2024 election","Polling used to be more accurate and indicative of greater political trends, but in the past few years polling among non-conservative groups has decreased rather sharply. Most of it is simply due to polling methods being severely outdated, and so an older (and therefore more conservative) cohort is all that is easily reached through ""normal"" methods.
+
+But there is still a barefaced issue where polling companies have simply stopped even trying to poll progressives or those who lean left as much as possible. The most active polling companies are heavily favored towards Republican think tanks, and this is leading to a major skew in the data. Some large companies like Pew Research Center still provide comprehensive data with their research, but outside of them you simply just cannot get much info.
+
+Some of that has to do with Democrat PACs simply not spending much money on polling, while Republican PACs spend money like water in an effort to see how best to manage their image/narrative.
+
+But I personally am starting to believe that they aren't polling younger/leftist stuff because the powers that be simply don't want to hear about what will likely be major political trends soon. Their is a MAJOR money incentive for polls to say certain things...or to not give certain people any ideas. When reading polls, seeing what is being said between the lines is just as important as what your actual poll may be saying/suggesting. And because there is very much an anti-wealth sentiment building in the nation based on what polls are coming through, keeping that sentiment tamped down is in the interest of pretty much everyone in charge.",54,2023-09-23 15:34:59

+
+Trump's best hope for a path to victory is that Biden is unpopular enough that he can just barely squeak by in the EC. Now, to do this he'll have to flip GA back (quite likely, Biden is unpopular there) but he'll also need either WI + MI, or PA too. 
+
+PA is potentially doable for him, but the midwest seems... unlikely. WI is my home state and while there's certainly a lot of Trump love in the rural areas, he is despised in the cities. And of course, that's where the people live. So it's going to be an uphill battle for him there. MI has a democratic trifecta in government right now that's getting a lot done and is fairly popular with the voters. So Trump's best hope, I think, is to flip just GA and PA and land on exactly 270 (or 271 if he can flip a Nebraska district, certainly possible). 
+
+All Biden has to do to prevent this is hold onto either GA or PA. If he holds one and keeps his other states from 2020, Trump has no path. So just looking at the EC map as it stands now, Biden has an advantage. That's not to say Trump *can't* win - the EC is what makes it possible after all. There's zero chance Trump wins the popular vote. Again, he just needs to squeak by in 2-3 states and that's the game. But it's still going to be an uphill battle for him.",21,2023-09-23 15:18:16
