Kal-El814 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 31 minutes ago, finaljedi said: I mean not to go too far into the weeds on the Lion King. But the hyenas were marginalized and that allowed Scar to use them for his ends, but considering the pretty obvious Nazi imagery in Be Prepared I don't think it was a comment on racial minorities so much. I guess it depends on whether the editorial was in favor of the status quo old timey caste-type system or against it. The Lion King blows. Simba gets told that lions are part of the great circle of life, that it’s okay that they eat the antelope because lions eventually become grass which the antelope eat. Fuck you Mufasa, you get to run down your prey and eat it alive, then die peacefully after porking a bunch of hot lionesses, it ain’t the same. Also Mufasa straight up tells Simba to ignore the projects where the hyenas live. Sure you can see where they live from Pride Rock but they’ve got the lowest property value in the kingdom and they probably don’t pay taxes so fuck em. 1 6 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll get their messaging refined soon, but right now it's just flailing. It's a coup, she has a weird laugh. Johnson has had to tell them to pump the brakes on calling out her race, probably because the ones that do are being so obvious that you can do a find and replace for "DEI" and the n-word and still have their sentences work.

That's a 2-way race, and isn't factoring in RFK it looks like. Which is probably why Trump is trying to get RFK to drop out and gain his endorsement.

I would assume the missing percentages that add to 100 are you undecided or RFK voters, and likely where Harris' improvement came from.

mclumber1 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 If Harris can effectively appeal to moderates, she will win. I don't think she'll have difficulty getting the "Blue no matter who" voters out to the polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes still below the typical 90% or higher of your own party voting for you in polls, though shes doing better than Biden was there, that alone will increase her odds of winning significantly. Honestly though from what i've seen Trump would be better of if RFK stays in the race, hes pulling more from dems than the GOP right now, and i don't see RFK voters as generally caring who RFK endorses, just your typical i hate both party morons voting for someone they know nothing about.

ort Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I hate how our political system works and I see the entire political industry (which I used to work in) as a giant for-profit nightmare machine. Anyway, as a personal rule, I have never... and will never... donate money to politicians or political causes. Anyway, as a person who has never given a single penny, I usually get like one random political text from a candidate every few weeks during the election cycle... but for whatever reason... in the last 2 weeks, I'm getting multiple texts every single day... and now I'm getting them from the republicans too... FUN! Just now Josh Hawley really wants me to know that Lucas Kunce hasn't endorsed Harris for some reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Going to be interesting after the Democratic convention. I looked back at some polling going back to 2004 and you're normally not seeing 50%+ during the summer, so I'm hoping Harris starts to get at or near that number after formally accepting the nomination at the DNC.
