Here's something I have not seen before! Is the tide turning?

I was at the waterfront in St. Petersburg, FL (getting ready for the next hurricane!!), and spotted a big yacht with a Harris flag!!! For the last few years it has been boat parades of MAGA **sholes and a bunch of orange idiot flags. Not a single trumpet banner in sight - and this one was proudly displayed. I have my mail in ballot already. Hope we can turn Florida blue!

Maybe Milroe gets another two running plus two passing TDs today.
I never watch highlights after a game I get to watch live, but I have watched 'Flyin' Ryan's' catches over and over, as well as Zabien Brown's INT.

Based on what I'm seeing, the team that Vandy took to two overtimes is struggling badly today against the Aggies, who have their starting QB back healthy.

college football history. Vandy’s QB, Diego Pavia, is a magician with the ball and tough as nails. Vandy is “New Mexico State East” this year as their starting QB, tight end, and 2 of their assistant coaches were at NMSU last year.

13. I No Longer Know How To Read Election Trends
Sat Oct 5, 2024, 03:57 PM
Oct 2024

Just yesterday a fresh report said Trump was now leading in all 7 battleground States and notionally Harris had a 1 point lead. That is very bad news if true and would point to not only Trump winning but winning in an electoral landslide. What you show and the massive amount of endorsements for Harris paint an entirely different picture. What is one to believe? What I want to believe is my eyes but this election makes me nervous.

Sat Oct 5, 2024, 04:37 PM

and take THOSE with a barrel of salt!

Right-wingers are starting to release polls that are skewed, ("flood the zone!&quot , hoping to skew the averages towards Trump and demoralize us. Don't let em worry you!


I think, with the combination of large numbers of new young voters registering to vote for Kamala, and women registering to vote for Kamala and abortion rights, that THIS is the year when the pollsters will be missing OUR voters, instead of 'hidden Trump voters' which I believe maxxed out in 2020. Add to that our superior ground GOTV operations including "in person" canvassing (which we did not do at all in 2020 because of covid)-- and Democrats are bound to be several percentage points ahead of the polls this year! (Newly registered voters are not considered "Likely Voters" by any pollsters).

Democrats have consistently performed better in elections by several points, in just about every election and special election since the Dobbs decision. I expect we will this time, too.

Back in 2016 a lot of people who backed trump were embarrassed to say it openly. NOW there are people who are scared to say openly that they're AGAINST trump. Even if they dont vote for Harris, if they dont vote for Trump its a win.
I've gotten a few messages from friends who tell me "I could never say this openly or I'd lose my business/family/etc". So far only ONE is saying they'll vote for Harris, but ALL of them are former trump votes.

of the polling techniques currently being used by various organizations and polling companies. It described how a reliable random sampling should be done and said that none of the public polls are doing it right. The conclusion was to disregard all if them as unreliable and tainted.

Internal campaign polling techniques used by the candidates for their own info might be better, but the publicly released ones have error rates as high as 6% or more.

as well as his constant lying. But defeating Trump will just be the start of a long battle for the soul of America and we should not be naive in believing that this will be a one and done with defeating Trump at the polls because this is going to be a long fight, a marathon, not a sprint. We need to do what must be done and not be soft about it which they take as weakness and not resolve.

That's old "social media". Sending money that could go to flags and banners and signs to the campaign is much better value.

Ads on every social media platform reach millions, a flag reaches far FAR fewer, and the same ones over and over again.

Just my 2 cents... Contribute whatever you can, don't buy a flag.
