It would be so Libertarian to nominate NOTA and lose ballot access almost everywhere.

Why does NOTA lose them ballot access anyway, because it's not an actual person? This year it seems like it would genuinely be their best choice for a nominee.

A lot of states have it so that a party with existing access that hits a certain threshold keeps it rather than having to regain access through petitions etc. Way easier to keep access that way than regain it the hard way.

I still don't follow. Does nominating nobody lose the ballot access they gained from 2020? Or are people afraid it will lose them ballot access in 2028? Because if it's the latter, I don't know why anybody is worrying - there's no doubt in my mind "none of the above" would poll better than any of the nobodies they could actually put on the ballot.

Their problem is that if they choose NOTA they don't appear on the ballot at all.

No, if NOTA wins the balloting, they have no one period. Not even unpledged electors I think.

What the hell is that racist rant going on in the background?

So now we know what they say when they think nobody is listening.

I couldn't make out what was being said, what was it?

Admittedly, that was just one guy, maybe the other if he agreed. I doubt Chase Oliver is like that, as an example.

What potential events could lock up the election for either candidate?

Trump doing terribly at the second or last debate.

Trump saying something absolutely insane next to election day

a right wing attack of some sort in October turns the election blue.

The economy suddenly heating up in September - Oct and prices falling would lock it for Biden.

Edit: Right on que. Also, McCurdle or whatever her name is sounds tired as hell.

Biden flopping as one would expect in the June debate. As long as he’s not ‘medicated’ like he usually is (SOTU, anyone?).

Biden is in a tough spot - Trump is very close to blowing the race wide open, the debate might just do it. Biden needs to both perform and change the narrative.

You expect Biden to flop, therefore if he doesn’t he must be medicated. This kind of “logic” would earn an F in any Critical Thinking class.
