I think the left (particularly the Chicago left) is unwilling/ incapable of handling the protests. Chicago will be what it always is: an embarrassment with furious idiots circling its besotted wagons.
The sad thing is, I can't see Trump winning, so despite ALL of what you say, we're in for even WORSE for the next four years. It's insane, but there it is.
Hope I'm wrong. But even if I am, that just means Trump won, which is hardly setting us back on the path of sanity.
Anyway, watching the free-for-all of radicals and counter-radicals and demented takes is just depressing. Americans deserve this, if they don't care to stop it. It's pathetic.
The gambling markets favored Trump by a healthy margin (55% to 30% chance to win) just two months ago. Now they're in a near-tie, with Biden slightly favored.
This suggests the law-fare attacks on Trump, coupled with Biden's "see, I've still got spry" SOTU address, are working in the Dems' favor.
But, we are still over half a year from Election Day, and a lot can and will happen.
You are correct. No matter who wins, the next four years will suck.
I don't trust the polls/markets at all, not with the gatekeepers we have driven by so much insanity and so motivated to lie and manipulate. This is the exact same stuff we saw in 2022, when all we heard was "this is going to be a bloodbath!"
That said, it's SO egregious at the moment that it's tempting to believe it.
The gambling markets are good for seeing trends and responses to new events. They are much more reactive and much less subject to polling bias than polls, but they shouldn't be relied on for an outcome at this early stage.
“I wholeheartedly support "the right of the people peaceably to assemble" (see: The Bill of Rights) and to "petition the Government for a redress of grievances," (see: The Bill of Rights, again)”
WRT Columbia, Yale, NYU et al, I don’t believe the right to assemble includes on private property. And the schools and their non protesting students of whom they are making demands (petitioning) are not the government. Even if they do take government grant money.
Agreed. The matter of public money funding private universities throws some gray on the matter, but a private entity has control over access to the land it owns. I was talking about the DNC protestors in this case.

The DNC is going to be a circus carnival shat show of a dumpster fire.

I stand corrected (in the corner)
What are the dates of the DNC? I want to make sure I am far away.
Excellent. And I enjoy your wit!
