For all the focus on VA, at least the polls here more or less predicted the general trend of the race relatively well. The polling error in NJ has been pretty shocking.

SaysWho? Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Polling error is really bad, but for some peace of mind, it really does look like Murphy's gonna win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference now is that they aren't hiding it anymore and are flat out saying the quiet parts out loud. To be honest I'm more pleasantly surprised when it DOESN'T work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know that I agree with this, at least not at the national level. Reagan and the Bushes had actual policy platforms. Race panic, gay panic, etc., was always part of the thing and the degree to which it was said aloud vs. being a dog whistle changed with the times and the person. George W. Bush was dumb as a post but he had a policy platform. Trump and a lot of these chucklefucks just… don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush was dumb as a post but he had a policy platform. Trump and a lot of these chucklefucks just… don’t. The term "Welfare Queens" was popularized by Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan and the ‘welfare queen’: Linda Taylor’s true story in a new book - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM Throughout his political career, Ronald Reagan invoked the “woman in Chicago” who abused welfare. But Linda Taylor may have committed far more serious crimes. Bush rode the whole Willie Horton right into The White House Bush Made Willie Horton an Issue in 1988, and the Racial Scars Are Still Fresh - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Mr. Bush expressed no regret for the Horton ad, and some of his longtime allies have long argued that he got a bad rap for something that was not really of his making. Reagan and Bush BOTH played with racial politics and the fear of the other on the national level by stoking White surburban fears of minorites taking their money and their lives. At the base of their "low tax, small government" approach was an appeal to White suburbanites who didn't want their taxm money going to unwed ghetto mothers who then spent the money on clothes and cadillacs and white southerners who didn't want the big bad Federal goverment telling them how they could and couldn't oppress minorities. It's really that simple when you look at it. Outside of that, there was the Neo-con's worldview of American might making right which has its own racial and cultural undertones. All Trump did was dispense with the pretense and said everything out loud. "Who gives a shit about that policy garbage? WHITE PEOPLE ARE ABOUT TO BE REPLACED." That's the message of the current Republican party... which is really no different than the old Republican Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chollowa Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Some of this has to be the gas prices and inflation, right? I know CRT/mask mandates etc are what is being trotted out there but some of this has to be the fact that everything is more expensive and gas prices are through the roof.

It is no longer needed to get elected unfortunately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
