  • I think, at best, this interview is a non-event. It's not going to make a difference with conservatives and it's not going to make a difference with her own base. Probably not for independents either. The biggest win is probably that she can say she did it, and Trump is too afraid to do the same.

  • What happens when you attempt to read the article? It's an Axios article. Free with no paywall.

  • The only thing is does is force bipartisanship on both parties, which may or may not be a philosophical benefit.

  • Problem is that half the population is willing to keep the wealth class in power. And, ironically, many in that half of the population are among the poorest in the nation who believe the wealth will eventually trickle down to them.

  • As someone who grew up outside the US, I can tell you that every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth. Now, all of those countries, except the US, have most of the basics down, so there's that.

  • Sure. As long as he goes, I'll support it all day long.

  • I'm sure it makes money and he may not F it up, but that's not the point. The point is that Elon has turned into the douche of the century along with his butt-buddy Trump.

  • As with X, I'll support it as soon as he's out.

  • Stop supporting Elon.

  • Yes, I definitely think pollsters are compensating for Trump's hidden voters by now. Like you say, they've had both 2016 and 2020 to get it worked into the polling. It's rare to get three tries to work it out. I'd be very surprised if they undercount it again.

  • Thank you for a good write-up. Much appreciated.

    I still think Trump is such a well-known commodity now and all of this is nothing new. We've been talking about his "hidden voters" so much for so long that I actually think polls may be overcompensating a bit for that. Or at least they could be pretty well calibrated for it at this point. Guess we'll see in less than a month.

  • Don't you think the pollsters have compensated for that by now? This has been known for years and years.

  • The Electoral College gives Republicans a significant advantage.

  • Abolish capital punishment. We're better than that.

  • If not, they'll just say it's stolen. So everyone has to vote. We have to win in a landslide.

    I think it's pretty clear by now that Republicans, and certainly Trump, will say they won regardless of the election results.

  • There are a lot of very poor people in the US compared to other developed countries. There are also a lot more extremely rich people. The inequality is palpable, and it shows in the stats. The US government also doesn't step in with coverage when it comes to healthcare, unemployment and other emergencies to the same degree as governments in other western countries.

  • There's no doubt that the US has extreme problems when it comes to health and consumption. Much more so than any other developed country on earth. Unhealthy lifestyles are ingrained into the culture. But I still notice more people taking note. Not so much among conservative groups, but much more among progressives and independents.

  • It's clearly because the events are "beautiful." Who speaks like that?

  • Most states also have no-excuse absentee voting. Request you ballot today.
