An interesting hypothesis, apparently from a CNN commentator. Pro-Trump Breitbart News has decided to highlight his claim that Trump may win the popular vote, but read the fine print! Here is the key paragraph:
>>>He concluded, “On the flip side of that, a potentially good sign for Democrats is: Why is Donald Trump doing so well in the popular vote polls? You can dig down into the state-level polling, and you can see that Donald Trump is doing particularly well in California, Florida, New York and Texas. Of course, none of these states are really on the board at this point.
>>>So Donald Trump may end up gaining in the national popular vote polls, but actually, he’s wasting votes, which could, in fact, lead to a case where Kamala Harris could sneak by in the electoral college by sweeping those Great Lake battleground states, which at this point, are way too close to call, John.”
Riots, anyone?
However...
It just struck me that there is one Great Lake battleground state which Harris may end up losing: Michigan. This due to Jill Stein, Cornel West and - arguably - Kshama Sawant and her Trotskyist outfit Revolutionary Workers. Indeed, Sawant is explicitly campaigning to punish the Democrats for their "pro-Israeli" policy by making Harris lose Michigan to Trump! (Sawant´s group has endorsed Stein.)
So here is a scenario: Trump wins the popular vote, Harris *almost* wins in the electoral college...but for Michigan, which goes to Trump due to potential Dem voters abstaining or supporting Stein instead. The political fall out would be *epic*. Sure hope Stein and Sawant have good security! The rift between the libs and the rad-libs will take *generations* to heal.
Oh, and then there´s always the possibility of a Russian, Chinese or Deep State hack of the grid on election day, Trump being shot the day before, Trump being shot the day *after*, you know, that kind of thing.
I admit that I don´t feel particularly safe anymore. Not even relatively speaking.
Donald Trump may win the popular vote...but lose anyway
I suppose the Dems could save the world by massive election fraud in Michigan. Or by removing Jill Stein from the ballot at the last moment. For all I know, the mama really is funded by Russia. However, these moves would permanently alienate the Muslim/Arab voters in Michigan from the Dems...
ReplyDeleteOn a more general level, I´m becoming SERIOUSLY worried about the entire world situation. Both as in "2024" and as in "the rest of the 21st century" (and hence the rest of my life). Even worse than the COVID shit, come on, I sat that one out at home eating pizza and writing cranky blog posts.
ReplyDeleteMy pessimism isn´t an ideological LARP, let´s put it that way.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, it would be...I don´t know...ironic or something if "Revolutionary Workers" (membership 30 people) would be responsible for Trump re-entering the White House. But would it discredit Trotskyism? Maybe not, since more and more people in the near future will probably be fed up with both the Dems and the GOP. And leftists really hate Israel, don´t they? Of course, they and the Green Party wont be allowed to run ever again in any blue state.
ReplyDeleteProbably a far fetched scenario, but if it comes to pass, you heard it from me first...
ReplyDeleteDe där trottarna(?) som straffröstar påminner om den gamle skinskallen i "Radio laddhöger" som var så förbannad på svenska folket att han straffröstade på V under hela 80-90 talet.
ReplyDeleteHe he, fast hade han *verkligen* velat staffa svenska folket borde han ha (med facit i hand) ha röstat på...sossarna!
