Is there any legal way to prevent some GOP megadonor from saying "10 million dollars to the first Dem elector to go faithless and vote for not-Biden?" I think that could actually work. (269-268-1 is no overall majority so you don't even need to get someone to vote for Trump, just not-Biden)

Despite all of the issues with Bush's 271-267 "win" in 2000, Gore had the only faithless elector.

The Reform candidate in North West Essex - Kemi Badenoch's seat, replacing Saffron Walden - has been forced to resign due to a blog post he made around 20 years ago encouraging people to vote for the BNP.  His name will still be in the ballot.

If it were the pro-terrorist trash usually stalking him I'd be in favor, but she was being polite and bringing up a legit issue, so this comes off poorly.

They'll still hover around D+15. The D+30 margins that Obama got in 2008 and that Democrats typically get among voters in their 20s is unsustainable. In large part, it's because, like several users above said, the previous non-voters become Republican voters in their 30s and 40s once they start maturing. This reminds me of the polls that showed Biden winning Florida because the senior citizens were "revolting" against Trump's COVID policies. Yeah, no. People generally don't change their voting behavior after their late 20s.

You described global south countries that support Ukraine “useful idiots” which implies these countries aren’t smart and clearly you only think these countries are dumb is racism

The countries leaderships definitely are not. I’m not saying this randomly just because the countries signed the document lol, I’m saying it because I looked at the blue countries in the map and I could tell which ideological line of thought they follow.

Take Latin America for example, all the countries in blue are led by right-wingers that are naturally whiter and pro-elites, historically behaving exactly as dumb and with no personality like they are doing now because they like to imagine themselves as white and western “equals” even if they will never be treated accordingly.

The ONLY single exception to this rule is Boric in Chile, who is already known as the black sheep in Latam’s Left. Boric is kinda that good-hearted kid that you bully in school because they’re such an easy and pathetic target and they will still be nice to you afterwards because they’re too much of idealistic losers.

Not just that, but Chile also has levels of higher development for Global South standards that gives it some privileges which stimulates it to broadly see itself as a parameter too, assuming that for others too. Which is why I don’t attribute this positioning to just Boric personally, I think it’s decent representation of what Chilean Left is.


Yeah but this just shows how much of an aweonao you are. Boric for example refused to sell weapons to Ukraine and actually banned Israeli military companies from an international event in Chile over Palestine and joined South Africa's lawsuit on the ICC.

By all accounts, you should love his foreign policy but you are so high up on your own ass, ignorance and prejudices that you are just blind to reality

Oh wow that’s breaking news to me, Boric didn’t sell any arms to Ukraine like Milei is doing. I guess that’s why I openly put him in the “Idealistic Loser” category instead of “Racist Right-Winger” one when talking about the Latin American countries that signed the comuniqué.

Reason I like to make fun of Boric isn’t even because he attends and takes seriously pointless summits with no results like this one, but the arguments he gives for it like he was making a speech at an university progressive movement or something instead of being Chile’s president.

The notion that not participating on this stuff validates “the same being done to us” is absolutely ridiculous when you look at Palestine and EVERY other situation where it doesn’t matter what position you have because of existing global hierarchies. If you want to assure that the same won’t be done to us, it’s only by BREAKING these hierarchies instead of giving them stronger validation.

You’ve always been snarky towards Boric as well and I also don’t understand why you do it as you always seem mostly quite aligned with most of his FP to me. Maybe your differences are more domestic, where it’s easier for you to see those qualities of him.

I didn’t even need to read the news that Boric’s Chile would be more aligned with Milei’s Argentina + Boluarte’s Peru + Noboa’s Ecuador + Lacalle Pou’s Uruguay than with Lula’s Brazil + Petro’s Colombia + AMLO’s Mexico on this particular matter, because it’s the exact type of event that plays up to his naivety, inexperience and college-like idealism.
Just to be clear for anyone getting lost in your endless ramblings you’re essentially arguing that Ukraine should be punished for being Western aligned. It’s literally a case of “I’d sacrifice a million Ukrainians if it means US hegemony is damaged as a result” while giving the rest of us crap for viewing this conflict in black in white terms. I mean you degrade Boric for his supposed college line idealism but your position is immature anti-West campism trying to be dressed up as a serious geopolitical thought.

Everyone’s seen all talk of a 270-268 Biden win, but I haven’t seen much serious discussion of the possibility of faithless electors in that scenario. Obviously the Democratic Party would do everything to ensure no faithless electors, but how sure of that can they be?

Regardless of how plausible faithless electors would be here, I’d still expect the frenzy surrounding it to be unbearable for over a month before the electoral college vote.

     I suspect that Democrats will lose a nontrivial amount of the youth vote, but that many of these people will simply attrite. Triumphalist narratives about the Biden economy don't help and trust in government institutions has been badly worn down; Atlas will say that this is the fault of the GOP, but I find it significant that per Pew this indicator has not recovered at all under the Biden admin.

Haley seems like the most likely, but I don't know.
