Good ad this one, directly about voter supression.

So the TX polling average on 538 is now exactly tied. For those pooh pooing Biden's chances there, the site rates him three times more likely to win TX than Trump is to win the EC.
Kamala Harris now slated to visit this coming week

damage limitation and exoectation dampening at a guess

I thought it was catering to anti lockdown 'freedom' stuff /anti economic policy sentiment or something. But would people really be attracted to vote for them by the idea they are not going to control the pandemic? Even some people opposed to lockdown on economic grounds wouldn't find the thought of it raging out of control terribly appealing surely

Probably a bit of that as well

I think they are calculating that people who would be turned off by this have already made up their minds anyway

For some reason, that just gets me thinking about the oeuvre of Sergio Leone

and things get ugly

Family describes horror as violent maskless rioters throw rocks, attack 'Jews for Trump' convoy

A “Jews For Trump” vehicle convoy was repeatedly attacked and heckled as it made its way through New York City Sunday, video shows.

Unprovoked attack I reckon pro Trump signage is provocation.

Nasty shit - although wouldn't surprise me if they were far right supporters doing the attacking - there are a few anti-semites among them and it's the perfect opportunity for some anti-antifa publicity.

 

[bimble]

If my family is anything to go by it was probably other jews attacking the jews for trump to be fair.

I suspect that most would have just seen a Trump parade, rather than a Jewish Trump parade, doubt there is that much of a visual difference that it would fire up specifically anti-semites. Likely to be a spontaneous reaction to seeing a Trump flags in a city where his negligence killed around 30,000 people.

Also possible - still nasty shit if they did throw rocks at a car with kids in.

I would be amazed if Jews against Trump were not involved in some way. Anyone who thinks this is an example of anti semitism is a centrist weirdo.

Just to be clear I in no way deny that left-wing anti semitism exists I just don't see this as connected to that. Also it's a Fox News story.

Has anyone suggested that its an example of left-wing antisemitism?

Eta: apart from Fox News of course

Everything is anti-semitism now as long as it's from the left. That's how it works these days

 

[frogwoman]

I'd bet that half of the people involved in 'Jews for Trump' aren't even Jewish. Like the white guys wearing 'blacks for trump' t shirts lol

Well exactly and the person who shared the article without comment.

 

[bimble]

I don't know why it is but a big majority of the orthodox jews (hats etc) are trump voters whilst the non-orthodox are about 70%+ democrat.

 

[frogwoman]

I'd guess Israel and social issues like abortion maybe?

I think blind support for Israel more common amongst non orthodox tho? Idk honestly, could be that they vote largely as a block and a couple of influential figures hold a lot of sway. Also they are anti lockdowns, maybe trumps attitude to that helped.

That's what I thought. Some orthodox Jews are very pro Israel but not all.

Still really nasty. That sort of thing has no place.

 

[bimble]

The absolute snowflake look at him. Kind of interesting where he says that he wouldn't be the president if it wasn't for social media, but not in the way he thinks it is.

 

[William of Walworth]

Trump comes over as a complete loser** in that Sarah Reese Jones 'interview'-- and resuming all those interruptions isn't exactly a good look either!

**Literally, soon, I hope!

BTW, is calling people 'snowflakes' an American thing at all?
If so, I'm willing to bet that Trump's called others that in the past!

That was absolutely cool as fuck -- loved that footage!

I believe there's a point at which you get so orthodox that you consider support for Israel to be a form of idolatry.

only with a certain crowd who are concerned to appear chest-thumpy. the term used to be "cupcake".

ermmm...the interview was that interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 minutes
