Here's Why The Dems Are Panicking In Six Charts - Kenosha Chaos & Pandemic Progress

edited August 2020 in Off-Topic
Neither prediction markets nor polls are perfect. They were both wrong four years ago. But it’s hard to get a better grasp on perceived probabilities than from a prediction market, where people are betting actual money. Over history their results have tended to be uncannily accurate. And polls tend at least to be directionally right.

I now better understand now why "you-all liberal dems" have been hollering! Seems, the Trump / Pence Ticket is on the upswing following the Republican convention!

    You mean Kenosha where a blue lives matter 17-year-old nut murdered two innocent protesters with an Ar-15 he shouldn't have had in the first place?

    @Derf And why was a 17-year old at a protest with an Ar-15 to begin with? Why did he meet with the police prior to the protest and they just did nothing to prevent him from behaving this way, in fact ignored him after he killed two people? Do you believe that he would have received the same treatment from the police if he was black? Do you feel he would've even been at the protests with an AR-15 if he hadn't been pumped full of blue-lives-matter hate rhetoric by the president beforehand?
  • @LewisBraham: Some good question to be answered. I hope the taxpayers aren't paying for his attorneys. Did you happen to watch video of incident ?

  • I am so disappointed in the Wisconsin governor and Kenosha Mayor.
    Are they using this killing for stupid politics?
    I heard others are more favorable to Trump now. I live about 50 miles from Kenosha.
    Blaming everything on the president is starting to look like a bad decision.
  • There's no question that the rioting and looting don't help the Dems whatsoever.
  • Ironic that it is Trump's America and Dems are getting the blame. What ever happened to the buck stops here.
  • @royal4 Yep, that's the amazing part. All of these problems happened under his watch, yet he's saying if you vote Democratic, this is what will happen.
  • IN 2009, an analyst at the DHS warned of a surge in activity by right-wing groups, including militias, white supremacists, anti-government activists and others motivated by racial grievances toward the nation’s first black president and the consequences of a faltering economy. DHS ultimately had to disavow that report due to pressure from the right.

    Seems like the author was correct. Those grievances never went away. And the current occupant of the White House has seized upon that grievance to further his ambitions.

    There is some severely deranged stuff going on now. This guy in the White House was losing it before but he has now completely lost it.
  • The title given to this thread is click-bait. The one who wins the popular vote is almost always the one who wins the Electoral College--- which needs to be killed, if this country's voters truly believe in the "one person/one vote" idea. So... MOST of the time, the pre-election polls are reasonably accurate. Let's hope the current Biden lead across the country translates to a win via the State-by-State method of winning that we still have to put up with. Reconstruction was short-circuited by the scallawags and carpetbaggers. Jim Crow is dead. But we STILL have to put up with the Federalism every four years which has in every other way been killed, since 1865. Flyover States are able to hold the majority hostage. It sucks. From every conceivable angle. It doesn't pass the "smell-test." The majority deserves to WIN because that's democracy. There can be no going back to the Trump-ites' White America. You might as well attempt to hold back the tide. We are multi-colored. And if it's not the case already, the majority will not be "Christian" of ANY stripe--- to say nothing of the fake, screwed-up, distorted version of "Christianity" being pushed by white evangelicals. Which is NOT Christianity, by any measure. So, YES: we ARE coming for your guns! No one needs an AK-47. No one. Unless you are in the military. And you can claim that America's "charter" was a Christian one. But just because you make the claim doesn't make it correct. Study your history. The Founding Fathers--- many of the key people--- were DEISTS. The Puritan ideal can be translated and made real in many languages and via many different philosophies. ...... KENOSHA CHAOS? It's due to half-educated, brainwashed IDIOTS with weapons of mass destruction.
