GOP Rep. Scott Perry Went From Hailing Project 2025 To Knowing Nothing About It
  • And even at that, it seems more like the registration as a republican was more something she just forgot to update for a long time for her. Not like it was a recent shift in her views/voting

    “I did as many people did way back… I registered in the party that my parents were when I started out,” Stelson said. She said since she was in a job that required her not to participate in partisan politics, she had not given much thought to how she was registered.

    “And really, what matters to me is not how one is registered but how you vote. And I voted for Joe Biden, Josh Shapiro, John Fetterman, Hillary, Barack Obama. Bob Casey. And when I started seriously considering becoming a part of politics instead of covering it, I took care of business.”

    Trump and Harris are deadlocked - could an October surprise change the game?
  • I encourage you to take some of the election anxiety and turn it into productive action. That could look like canvasing (door knocking) to phone banking, text banking, letter writing and more. Those all have been shown to increase voter turnout. If nothing else, it at least reduce some of the anxiety

  • "The bad guys won in WWII": Minnesota candidate is latest GOP member to espouse pro-Nazi view
  • That's actually not the full quote. The full quote show he was not talking about any of those issues at all. He was concerned with the allies being "liberal" and "communist"

    It dawned on me today… The bad guys won in WWII. There were no “good guys” in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces. Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.

  • Anxious about the election? Turn that into action and help write letters to voters in swings states & other competitive down ballot races
  • Vote forward mainly focuses on turnout rather than persuasion. They actually intentionally tell you to not use partisan language in them even though it's going toward likely dems

    Getting dems to show up matters a lot in an election. They do regular testing on it and the letters show a measurable increase in turnout

    (And to clarify it's not based on signups, though they do offer a way to opt out when people receive them)

  • Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished
  • They are primarily focusing on the main swing states for president, but Florida does matter a good amount in terms of the senate though. It's a rarer somewhat close pickup opportunity. With Montana not looking as great lately we'll likely need to flip either Texas senate or Florida senate to keep the senate control. Or there's the close race in Nebraska where Indepdent Osborn could give us a 49-49-1 senate if neither flip and we lose Montana

  • Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished
  • My response was more so to the "you don't get to 'wish'" part. It could go the same way, it could not. It's not consistent year to year. Assuming it is when long term data does not support that, isn't helpful

    Over the long term, there is no meaningful partisan statistical bias in polling. All the polls in our data set combine for a weighted average statistical bias of 0.3 points toward Democrats. Individual election cycles can have more significant biases — and, importantly, it usually runs in the same direction for every office — but there is no pattern from year to year

    No where am I claiming that Harris definitely will necessarily be underestimated, I am saying it is possible. Or perhaps even just underestimated by less. Dismissing the possibility out of hand by N=1 is what I am responding to

  • Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished
  • An alternative reality is saying that polling error is uncertain? I didn't declare anything about it's direction or even that it couldn't be the same as it was earlier

    This is something plenty of election modeling people say all the time

    The reason there’s no long-running polling bias is because pollsters try to correct for their mistakes. That means there’s always the risk of undercorrecting (which apparently happened this time) or overcorrecting (see the 2017 U.K. general election, where pollsters did all sorts of dodgy things in an effort to not underestimate Conservatives … and wound up underestimating the Labour Party instead)

  • Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished
  • That's not how your earlier comments are phrased. The earlier comments declare that this is a given structural bias and that it will always exist. How is entirely ignoring the 2012 election any more real than saying we can't be sure?

  • Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished
  • Look if you thought the polling bias in the previous election always determined the next one, you would've thought Hillary was in for a big landslide because dems were systematically underestimated in 2012 including in florida. Obviously it did not go the same way. It's not limited to 2012 either

    Pollster make adjustments every cycle. In this case, many have made some quite large ones. How much that effects the results isn't fully knowable until only after the election happens

  • Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished
  • Biden was 4 points ahead in FL in 2020

    ? In this very comment section you were mentioning polling average earlier that showed it as ~2.5%


    Assuming the error is the same direction as 2020 is not a given. Pollsters have made changes to their model that intentionally put more weight on areas likely to have trump supporters. Amid other changes


    Not saying she will necessarily win florida, but assuming the worst case all the time is not always accurate either
