Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Plural of Anecdote Is Not Data, But....

 You see a lot of these postings. Now, the women voting for Harris is definitely backed up by data of actual early voters. I think that this could be the story of 2024. However, the other postings that interest me are self-identified Republicans saying they are voting for a Democrat for the first time. 

Look, it's social media. People lie to get clicks. Still, we also have identifiable Republicans, even office holders, saying they are done with this fucking guy. Whether it's the rallies, the yard signs, the viral videos, one side sure looks like it's winning and growing their coalition.
