As an imminent Harris/Walz voter, this comment shocks me. It’s 2016 all over again and I’m realizing people are living in a Hillary bubble. Acting like this shit is in the bag. It is SO NOT IN THE BAG. Not even fucking close.

Now I’m not going to spam a bunch of voting links and opine on how it’s up to you to make a difference and make it so. M

This bubble is serious and I’m very afraid of what kind of reality is going to be crashing around all around this country and the world when an also shocked Trump sees the results roll in election night and he is now the new King of America (in his eyes). “They really do love me. God has chosen me. I am supreme.”

You fools. You don’t realize that this is so within the margin of error it’s a totally real and near possibility.

Trump is not done until it’s done.

I’m not sure if you’re just hopped up on hopium but this is very very far from a secured victory. It’s anything but.

Read the article hoping Moore elaborated the quote in the headline. It’s not there and I wanted to know what “do weird and cringe until the debate, then nail him” means specifically from his perspective.

Anyone have a guess?

Yeah I hate read Fox News (webpage, there’s no way I could actually watch) every day for this very reason. What might I be missing? Honestly it’s more of a bad habit now than actually netting any honest insights, although I admit I do see stories/opinions not mentioned on other news sites. Even aggregators. I do enjoy challenging my own beliefs though. It’s a fun exercise.

Serious question, but couldn’t you get more ratings for being the aggressive and combative fact checker when addressing Trump vs the soft ball question lobber?

Is this just a matter of demographics watching and giving more advertising money to traditional media and therefore doing so is less profitable?

I would definitely put my eyeballs more towards any organization that would challenge all politicians vs those who are basically allowing them to advertise their talking points.

I’m ignorant on media and looking at this simply, if it isn’t obvious.

The price will be super high to do so by then. I don’t think it will escalate to civil war status, but if he’s effective enough it could end up being a house of cards depending on how events play out. I hope the second act results in maga whining, the center yawning, and him just going tf away. I fear it could be a much worse tinderbox of protests with guns with all of the rhetoric though.

If he wins I kind of fear the same, too. It’s just awful he’s the candidate all around.
