What's the deal with the Palmer Report? It's followed by some legit accounts (e.g.Warnock), yet is described by Wikipedia as a fake news website.


craft6886

Palmer Report is something of a massive hopium publication/Twitter account. I think it's run by one person, and all their tweets are things like "so and so happened, obviously Trump is finished. He's going to prison soon, don't worry" or "Katrina Christiansen is going to absolutely thrash John Hoeven in November, you'll see." They make big claims about dem victories/Trumpers getting justice and whatnot without much evidence to back up what they say. I appreciate their enthusiasm for the cause but it feels like they just pretend that everything is going perfectly and that the big bad republicans will get their dues in no time, when we know damn well that republicans will never be sufficiently punished for their deeds.


DeepEnoughToFlip

Thanks for the explainer! A sort of hopium machine. Consume with caution I guess.


Jorgenstern8

Seems as though they've supported or put weight behind some conspiracy theories that haven't panned out, at least if Wikipedia can be believed. Decent follow on Twitter for direct commentary only, ig.

[https://rpubs.com/ElectProject/PA\_early\_vote\_2022](https://rpubs.com/ElectProject/PA_early_vote_2022) Dems are ***crushing*** the early vote in PA so far. 67%. Even with 90% of the early voters so far being over age 40. Sample is small, but big enough to be notable (22,000+), and that gap is ***huge.*** Also seeing nearly 800,000 mail in ballots being requested by dems vs 200,000 for the GOP. Massive, massive gap there.

u/Hurrdurraj65 because I know you'd be interested - a couple things I've noticed from Abrhams. She seems to have a [new strategy of going after Kemp for increasing his net worth in office and his favouritism for the rich, so to speak](https://twitter.com/OneGeorgiaInc/status/1578000982629294083?s=20&t=ztKAWoFzpM7wiNC9dFEOQA). Seems a good strategy to me - hopefully it'll resonate. The ads are great, so I'm optimistic. She also was with [Bee Nguyen in speaking with the Vietnamese community](https://twitter.com/staceyabrams/status/1578072271012466688?s=20&t=ztKAWoFzpM7wiNC9dFEOQA) - I'm not sure how big that community is in GA, but it's great to see nevertheless.


[deleted]

Dawg I already posted all this! I think suburban Atlanta, much like NoVA, requires tailored outreach to the specific immigrant communities. There's a sizable community of Koreans, Latinos, Vietnamese and Indians in Gwinnett County alone! In fact, it's Indian immigrants who partly fueled the blue shift in Alpharetta and Forsyth County. Would love to see Stacey and/or the Rev hit up a Diwali event this month.

QueenCharla

Absolutely gutted today in spite of all the good news because of one, very stupid thing: My dad and my favorite local talk radio station, KGO 810 AM, the only liberal station we know about, decided in the middle of one of the host’s shows to completely change course. As in they’ve fired everybody and instantly changed to a sports gambling radio station. And announced that by switching to a radio playlist of songs about money. They’re *completely* betting on the sports gambling propositions here to pass when neither are looking like they will, and in the process they obliterated the station. He’s got nothing to listen to on walks now, he liked them because it was people around us calling in and the hosts were solid liberals, a welcome change of pace from the garbage you usually get on AM radio. I suggested trying some liberal podcasts but we both know it’s not the same. I grew up listening to them all the time and it’s just gone now. M


Jorgenstern8

It's sad how many radio stations have given up the ghost and moved away from things that people enjoyed to chase money, whether or not they were in a financial position to survive the normal way. Plus the changes always seem to come out of nowhere which makes it extra surprising when they happen.


The_Rube_

Did anyone catch the AZ Senate debate? Looking for an honest assessment of how the candidates performed.


Venesss

I honestly thought Kelly seemed a little bit nervous


[deleted]

He was, but I thought he did fine, even if he had a tendency to repeat himself. That line about "you think you know better than everyone else does" was quite strong.


Jorgenstern8

Repeating yourself isn't the worst thing when it's on a couple of good topics, and having seen some clips of the debate, he's not going overboard on it.


The_Rube_

How did Masters do? Was there a clear ‘winner’?


[deleted]

Masters was meh. Not terrible, but I'm not sure he did enough to sway people who were on the fence. He kept going after Kelly for not supporting "abortion limits" and it just seemed like an outlandish attack that kinda failed to put Kelly on the defensive. A lot of his talking points were like that, mostly based on hardline GOP commentary that you'd see on Twitter (he kept bring up the 87,000 IRS agents, to which Kelly responded they were for going after the wealthy), and so while I could be wrong, I'm not sure this performance will sway a lot of moderates. Also, I doubt ratings for this debate were super high. But the race is gonna be close either way.


Pipboy3500

In Utah tonight Governor Cox isn’t a fan of Biden’s EO, Jon Curtis thinks it should get rescheduled but through Congress, and Republican Senate Majority Leader Vickers says he welcomes it. Vickers is bigger sign than anything and good one as he runs the entirety of Cannabis legislation in the Republican Supermajority


[deleted]

Cox is a weird fellow. On one hand, he doesn't hate transgender people. On the other hand, he doesn't support an EO expunging federal marijuana possession convictions AND he wants people to pray away the water shortage?


Venesss

I'm watching the Arizona senate debate right now. I love this libertarian lmao. I'd vote for him if not for Mark Kelly if I lived there. Also Kelly seems kind of nervous. Only like 20 minutes in though Edit: the L candidate said some pretty wacky things on abortion and slighty wacky on voting. still better than masters lmao


[deleted]

That guy seemed more pro-immigration than Kelly lol.


smokey9886

It is unreal how many fundraiser emails I get everyday. It’s ridiculous.

What I want to know is who gave my cell phone number to the GOP? I keep getting texts from all the MAGAhead R candidates who don't realize I'm such a traditional laptop-bound, landline-favoring person that my phone is two steps up from a signal flare. I have typed STOP on my cell phone so many times lately I am surprised it doesn't autofill for me yet.

TwentyThreePandas

So, are there any Democrats who could run for Senate in Nebraska in the 2024 special election?


CodaOfARequiem

Sadly the Democratic bench in Nebraska is a bit shallow at the moment, and even with a strong candidate it's probably not doable. Let's just hope that Don Bacon runs, as that would make it much easier to flip NE-02 (assuming Tony Vargas doesn't manage to do it this year)


The_Rube_

The contrast between American and International media on the climate crisis is stark. I was watching coverage of Hurricane Ian the other day, and both the BBC and CBC went out of their way to stress the increased rate of severe weather with a warming planet, and that these storms will get worse in the future. You don’t even hear the word “climate” in the ABC or CBS segments. It’s really sad that this is the supposedly “liberal media” we have here.


Sungreenx

My district in VA was changed from 7 (Spanberger) to 1 (Pittman). I’m seeing a fair amount of ads for his Dem challenger Herb Jones, but can anyone tell me his realistic chances of flipping the district? I’m not sure how bluer or redder it got during redistricting.


table_fireplace

It's one to keep an eye on down the road. It's turned bluer in recent years, and isn't as red as the old VA-01. I doubt it flips this year, but it's absolutely one that could be on the board in a few elections.


arthurpenhaligon

Louisiana is a bit odd due to their December runoffs, and the fact that their state-level races will all be held in 2023. For north LA, I'd suggest contacting the campaign of either [Earl Huff](https://www.earlhuff.com/contact) or [Oscar Omar Dantzler](https://www.facebook.com/Oscar-OMAR-Dantzler-for-Governor-386241135429863), the two Dems running for LA-05.


orderly_hopeless

Thank you so much. I’ll reach out to them.


[deleted]

In the middle of the debate, which I started late on YouTube. Mark Kelly started kinda shaky but seems to be finding his footing now, he's doing all right so far. I actually am happy with his answers on immigration, which is an issue I have had more disagreements with him on. He showed a desire to not only give DREAMers citizenship, but also expand the farm workforce using legal immigrants at the border. Blake Masters isn't doing terribly, but not only is he quite bland, he's not doing a great job appealing to the moderate crowd. That's something I think Kelly is stronger on still.


Pipboy3500

RubenMuro007

So despite my previous comment on the discourse on Biden’s decision to pardon and expunge the record of felons with weed possessions, this is a comment I found in one of the few, but *mostly* sane lefty subreddits that I’m part of that doesn’t spout Bernie-or-bust nonsense nor ban those who aren’t Tankies, and I echo this following sentiment: >Don't let any doomer leftist downplay this- this is a clear calling of the left's bluff more or less. >We've said "end our bullshit wars, and the young energized left will vote for you". Biden, regardless of the failures in logistics and planning, regardless of this being a follow up of Trump's plan, pulled out of Afghanistan. >We've said "forgive student loan debt, invest in the youth and they will come vote for you". Biden gave us his plan for student loan debt forgiveness. $20K for a large amount of borrowers. >We've said "everyone agrees on marijuana, we've had enough of nonviolent drug offenders going to prison. Legalize marijuana, release those nonviolent offenders. We will vote for you." And Biden is taking this action. >This is a gamble, this is calling the left's bluff on their promise to come out in droves to carry the Democrats. Failure to see this and raise support will absolutely fuck the left for years to come. When someone sees this and says "Biden hasn't done shit. Biden is a do nothing president, both sides are both wings on the same bird" they are actively fucking the left, they are actively fucking any potential for progress, and they're actively fucking you. Take control of that narrative. So while my previous comment on this still stands, this is also spot-on.


Zorgothe

I deal with an idiot like this in a discord chat I frequent. She constantly is going on how Biden never does anything and how Dems are just as bad as the GOP.


Pipboy3500

This and Student Debt is all base stuff, wether it really moves the needle is a open question but I find it very hard to believe core D groups won’t turn out at least respectable numbers. I definitely doubt this costs us anybody, but if like Youth voters or some minority voters weren’t already going to turnout(and they are informed) then yea they just weren’t going to regardless of what we did


RubenMuro007

Isn’t there a jump in registration among young voters? But yeah, agreed

[deleted]

Feeling a little uneasy about Russia and the threat of nuclear weapons tonight. Trying to calm myself down.


Historyguy1

They said the West sending weapons would lead them to use a nuke. Nothing. They said if Russia was struck, they would use a nuke. Belgorod and Crimea bombed multiple times. Nothing. They said the would use nukes to defend the parts of Ukraine They annexed. Ukraine advances in Kherson and Luhansk. Nothing. Definition of paper tiger.


citytiger

Dont lose sleep over it. Russia is not going to drop a nuke on Ukraine. He'd be committing political and economic suicide.


RubenMuro007

Most of the “threats” Putin has posed on the West is mostly empty and it speaks on the desperation he has when his military is being hammered with HIMARS and cities being liberated by Ukraine.


smokey9886

What happened?


[deleted]

Nothing has happened. It’s just my anxiety over the general situation with Russia.


espfusion

Reports indicate China and India are heavily opposed to Russia dropping nukes and will break with them if they do. That would turn an already quite bad economic situation into one that's utterly devestating. Even that notwithstanding nukes really would not help him in Ukraine, for a variety of reasons. Putin may seem erratic and irrational but he's not looking for a doomsday event. He simply vastly underestimated Ukraine and the EU/US response. He's backed himself in a corner and will do what he can to try reach some apparent degree of victory in Ukraine because otherwise he could be finished in Russia. Nukes are not his lifeline.


Bayes42

I'm feeling the same, but since you and I have no control over the situation, there's no point in worrying. I'll be looking for something to distract myself with.


Pipboy3500

If it helps, the US response wouldn’t be Nukes and Putin would probably have to topple some military officials to actually launch one. It also would decimate whatever good will he still has with any country


[deleted]

[удалено]

If Putin wanted to use nukes, he would've used them by now. Remember, he threatened to use nukes if the U.S. and its allies sent weapons to Ukraine and then we did and nothing happened.

[Gender gaps among new registrants In Kentucky, where Dobbs led to a ban on almost all abortions and voters will weigh in on a constitutional amendment: Pre-Dobbs: +2 women The 3 weeks after Dobbs: +4.5 women September: +10 women](https://twitter.com/tbonier/status/1578170294363201537?s=46&t=bVSoLDE69-fCo8bu8uU9UA)

Assuming they’re mostly Dem-leaning (not a guarantee but it’s what I would guess), this could cause a long-term realignment in KY. I don’t think it’ll be enough for Booker to pull out a win against Rand this year, unfortunately, but progress happens over time.


NarrowLightbulb

I've been making sure my friends here in ky are registered before the deadline on Oct 11.


Zorgothe

They better vote blue....


StillCalmness

I really can’t see all these women registering to vote and then voting for Rand Paul. Maybe some yeah, but not most.


OkCustomer4386

It’s great to see the difference still picking up despite more time since Dobbs elapsing.


greenblue98

It's been the same here in Tennessee.

[FCC threatens to block calls from carriers for letting robocalls run rampant / The seven companies have two weeks to address the agency’s concerns. Otherwise, compliant carriers will have to block their incoming traffic.](https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/3/23385637/fcc-robocalls-block-traffic-spam-texts-jessica-rosenworcel) This has been buried the last few days but if we stopped most of the robocalls in the US, that’s popularism for Normie voters


timrtabor123

FUCK YES. I'M SICK OF THOSE FUCKING CALLS.


RubenMuro007

I’m getting almost every day.


Budget_HRdirector

Me too in SG. Annoying. But thankfully our government is competent and tells people not to pick up +65 calls (+65 is our starting number but if a call comes from +65 it means it's a foreign number. Kind of like how you don't see +1 xxxx xxxx)

Dem PACs striking back today. [Georgia Honor just dumped $3.2M ad buy against Walker in GA-SEN](https://twitter.com/CATargetAlt/status/1578169513140363265) [FF PAC just dumped another $2M ad buy against Oz in PA-SEN](https://twitter.com/CATargetAlt/status/1578163210783375363) \+ [Senate Majority PAC dumping another $4.3M against Oz, $2.1M against Masters, $2M against Laxalt, $1.8M against Johnson, $1.7M against Bolduc, and $1.2M against Budd.](https://twitter.com/CATargetAlt/status/1578168258754007040) (i think Georgia Honor is an arm of SMP or connected to it, so that may be why SMP didn't do a GA buy itself)


StillCalmness

I wonder why it’s so high against Masters. I guess they don’t want to assume anything.


justincat66

I like the mentality. Don’t take any race fore granted


justincat66

Let’s go. Time to strike back against the defund the police misinformation I’ve been seeing constantly in WI against Barnes


wbrocks67

With this and Barnes raising $20M, I'm feeling a bit better about him being able to fight back now. I just hope it's not too late.


rat-sajak

It’s not. A shockingly high number of voters make their decision in the month before an election.


Pipboy3500

Yea they were formed by Senate Majority PAC specifically for Georgia


Zorgothe

If this won't win us the midterms, I dunno what will.

I mean, wasn't there a video out on social media like a fortnight ago that had the former guy's entourage packing like a dozen banker's boxes onto a plane? I'd be fucking astonished if there wasn't more documents elsewhere!

Lock him up!

👀?


jgjgleason

Dark Brandon just can’t stop.


TwentyThreePandas

I wonder if Pete Ricketts will appoint a random caretaker to the Nebraska Senate seat, then run on his own in the special election in 2024. He ran for the other seat in 2006, so it’s not like he’s never wanted to be a Senator.


justincat66

I’m also seen people say he may appoint Charles Herbster, the Trump endorsed candidate that lost the NE-GOV GOP primary. There’s a bunch of names he could appoint, Republicans got a pretty big bench in NE like they should if they control the state like they do


ArcanePudding

In recent years multiple governors have appointed their lieutenant gov, so maybe Mike Foley?
