While I’ve honestly been trying to tune out the election shit, I was streaming the world series feed (through completely legal means I can assure you) from a Fox station in Florida. Much to my dismay, I was completely bombarded by these ads saying Trump supports amendement 3 which would legalize weed in the state. I scroll on social media for like 5 mins later on and I see this fucker on Joe Rogan.
Its a pretty clear attempt at targeting independent socially moderate/liberalish fiscally conservative independent bros that, honestly exist and could decide the election if its close. All while Kamala is really leaning into winning over “dick cheney democrats” that dont exist outside of focus groups in the beltway.
Im calling it now. Trumps winning again.
Yeah, the big difference wasn’t people voting more for Labour, but that there was a splinter party and the press was less than completely glowing towards the tories. Also that SNP decided to spontaneously combust.
More people voted for Labour in 2019, an election that I’ve been told was the worst election ever by very serious Blairites. And even with the lower turnout they only gained 1.5% of the popular vote. They are an exceptionally weak majority party and have already pissed away all the good will they could have had pushing any good policy.
We can only ever expect the managerial class to double-down on mediocrity.
