The green party only exists because the GOP keeps giving them money. The only time anyone ever hears a damn word out of them, is when they're showing up to split the Dem vote for the GOP.

He's coming off strong to his base, but they believe his bullshit. He mainly just has to just sound angry.

Neither of them have really answered any of the questions. That said, what Kamala has said are better answers to different questions.

Not sinking, a bit disappointed she didn't hit back better. Seems to be mainly a delivery issue, she has the knowledge and talking points. Just not hitting the mark with them.

Her main strength right now is that Trump is a rambling mess.

Edit: She's getting better as they go on, kind of getting into a groove. She doesn't have performance practice.

Down right idiotic. I'm all for some better gun control, but this is just a stupid idea.

If Texas wants to put a bounty on women, we should be able to put a bounty on guns. It'd be a lot more effective too.

I think the real take away is that even Dick Cheney and Bernie Sanders agree Kamala Harris is the better candidate.

Because new voters are a rounding error smaller than the error bars of the sample size.

Polling is pretty much like the unemployment rate. Any individual reading is meaningless, it's a multitude of readings over time that give any useful information.

Likely voters are those that have voted before, that's what makes them likely to vote again. For the most part they're the more accurate people to be polling.

I'm starting to question 538s predictions not because there is any problem with the models, but because there is a filter on what polls they choose to include. I don't want to call it bias, it's just a blind spot that their model isn't getting all the input for.

Of course it's not like anyone else is doing a better job either.

There's an app for meat doing the same thing. Probably another one for every major commodity. And if there isn't, there will be. It's the oligarchy version of rule 34.

Same thing that happens to every brain implant. After a few months it gets rejected and breaks.

Every new story about brain implants is the same. They found some new way to make some device work, because it's technically easy to interface with the brain. Then they shut up because 6 months later the quadriplegic they implanted is back to being a paper weight, if they're lucky.

No one outruns a radio, and pretty much never a helicopter either.
