We are completely fucked.
RIP democracy, women’s rights, national security, rule of law, human rights, sanity, decency …

I voted for my daughter.
I voted for my son.
I voted for their futures and for our freedom.
I voted to preserve this democracy.
I voted because Joe Biden gave up so much to get us here.
Today, I proudly voted for Kamala Harris.
We are not going back.

"Ask and you shall receive, Nate, because Ann Selzer doesn’t herd. Last night, the Iowa pollster surprised everyone with a poll showing Kamala Harris ahead in Iowa. As Selzer describes, this effect is driven by older women voters. Nate promptly set to work describing how brave it was for Selzer to release this because a gambling market Nate has helped to create says she’s wrong": Male Pollsters Shocked - Shocked!! - When a Woman Pollster Discovers Women Voters https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/11/03/male-pollsters-shocked-shocked-when-a-woman-pollster-discovers-women-voters/

Male Pollsters Shocked - Shocked!! - When a Woman Pollster Discovers Women Voters - emptywheel

This entire election has been disproportionately viewed through the lens of polling that has deliberately weighted to ensure that polling doesn't miss Trump voters, but not (as far as we know) weighted to adjust for post-Dobbs polling misses. And the Ann Selzer came along.

When I took office, we faced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Today, we have the greatest economy in the world.

Via Michele Norris:

As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵

WaPo decision to withhold an endorsement that had been written & approved in an election where core democratic principles are at stake was a terrible mistake & an insult to the paper’s own longstanding standard of regularly endorsing candidates since 1976. 1/…

🧵: The fact that “All polling is based on modeling from past elections,” which Stuart accurately notes, is something most people don’t understand.

It’s a necessity of public-opinion research. Because if you call up 100,000 people randomly, you’re going to get a good sample of people who answer their phones—not a good sample of the adult population generally, or the pool of registered voters.

Kamala Harris has demonstrated care, competence and respect for the Constitution — the fundamental qualities necessary for high office.

So true and so infuriating. At this point, the "mainstream media" deserves little more than contempt, scorn, vitriol, etc. https://bluevirginia.us/2024/10/friday-news-crunch-time-for-real-un-says-time-for-climate-delays-has-run-out-trumps-rambling-speeches-raise-questions-about-mental-decline-the-double-standard#comment-6577997142 h/t @owillis
