  • DNC projects message tying Trump to Hitler on Madison Square Garden during rally

    Jump

  • It's not for the attendees. There are plenty of people who do not read news regularly and have not heard about it. This is the kind of action that spreads on social media and reaches some of those people

  • Speakers make racist and crude remarks at Trump Madison Square Garden rally – US politics live

    Jump

  • They also said more than that and doubled down on the racism

    “These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe said, setting up his joke: “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They c-- inside, just like they did to our country.”

    Hinchcliffe also told a joke about one of his Black “buddies” and how they “carved watermelons” together.

  • Why Harris is taking her campaign to a state she won’t win: Texas

    Jump

  • Note: Gerrymandering doesn't impact state wide races like senate and presidential. Only district based things like house seats

    California is far more blue than texas is red. California votes around D+20 statewide, Texas is more like R+5 ish

  • Musk Petition Signers Still Waiting for $47 Payments

    Jump

  • From the article

    A Trump voter in Pennsylvania tells Rolling Stone that he had his girlfriend sign the petition and list him as a referrer. “If it were anyone other than Elon Musk doing this I wouldn’t trust it,” he says. But he is frustrated at receiving no confirmation message or further communication from the Super PAC since then. “Part of me thinks it’s B.S. just to rally up votes,” he admits, in which case he plans to “have a field day slandering [Musk], and Trump might just lose my vote.”

  • Election 2024: Kamala Harris on NBC vows to double federal minimum wage to $15

    Jump

  • Are you sure? Becasuse that was probably me on this same account. On a different post on the exact same topic, I made a comment clarifying the same thing

    Edit: searching for "at least $15" across lemmy on my instance only has my own comments come up

  • Kamala Harris Asks Americans: Are You Really Going to Elect a Guy Who Has Good Things to Say About Hitler?

    Jump

  • He said he wanted his military generals to look like Hitler's

    In their book, The Divider: Trump in the White House, Peter Baker and Susan Glasser reported that Trump asked John Kelly, his chief of staff at the time, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?”

    [...]

    According to Baker and Glasser, Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” This correction did not move Trump to reconsider his view: “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president responded.

    [...]

    This week, I asked Kelly about their exchange. He told me that when Trump raised the subject of “German generals,” Kelly responded by asking, “‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’” He went on: “I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.

    Kamala Harris Overtakes Donald Trump With 'Most Accurate Pollster'

    Jump

  • They don't have the same electoral map predictions, and they show 51% odds which is not "highly favored". They're saying it's a tossup. Moreover 538 and nate silver have still been influenced by those right wing polls just less so than RealClearPolitics.

    Kamala Harris Overtakes Donald Trump With 'Most Accurate Pollster'

    Jump

  • RealClearPolitics is hardly the place to look for accuracy. They have no pollster weighting and treat polls from a group like Trafalgar (that has literally come out as illegal working with the trump campaign) the same as a highly qualified pollsters. Guess which groups publish more polls lately

    And what they push on their site has also been very pro-trump in general

    In November 2020, The New York Times published an article alleging that since 2017, when many of its "straight-news" reporting journalists were laid off, RealClearPolitics showed a pro-Trump turn with donations to its affiliated nonprofit increasing from entities supported by wealthy conservatives
