Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This is important as Rasmussen is known to be in the tank for Trump.

If THEY'RE stating Harris is +1 in Michigan, it's more likely +3 to +5.

Woohoo! Rasmussen is suddenly reliable now that they're saying Harris can win Michigan without changing her support for Netanyahu!

Everyone vote Harris anyway. Polls are shit, even when they say what you want.

"Always Republican leaning" is a kind of reliability.

[–] Ensign_Crab -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They could be trying to foster complacency.

But since they say what the genocide wing wants to hear, they're suddenly reliable. Vote anyway.

Republicans have always touted Rasmussen as reliable, despite evidence proving otherwise.

Vote anyway.

Already did. Everyone else should, too.

If Harris is getting Michigan and Iowa... Please no fascism please no fascism please no fascism....

[–] TheDannysaur 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If Harris gets Iowa the race is over. These races are not truly independent - they are correlated. If Harris picks up Iowa, there's a very good chance that means she's swept every swing state.

The more exciting part for me, is what this could all mean for down ticket stuff. Imagine instead of just avoiding fascism, we could actually get good laws passed after this election.

[–] TheDannysaur 7 points 1 month ago

Iowa itself is a lost cause. It's 75% Republican here. We're gerrymandered to high hell, so even if Baccam squeaks through, Iowa state legislature won't look very blue. If it's 60/40 Republican I'd be absolutely shocked.

But contributing one Senator nationally would be pretty neat.

There are lots of parts of Michigan I don't see, but in my area (rural-adjacent suburbia) the amount of visible Trump support I see is massively down from 2020 and 2022.

So either his support has fallen or they are at least ashamed to simp for him.

Shame is a step forward! :) Make Nazis Afraid Again! ;)
