  2. Nate Silverhack:

    “This morning’s NYT/Siena poll contained a pair of questions on whether voters think Harris is too liberal/progressive3 and whether Trump is too conservative. The numbers were lopsided in Trump’s favor. Only 32 percent of voters said Trump was too conservative, while 47 said Harris was too liberal. The demographics on this question are about what you might expect. Harris is faring poorly among white voters without college degrees, rural voters, and older voters: the types of voters who are plentiful in Blue Wall states like Pennsylvania.”

  3. More Silverhack:

    “Harris also blew one big opportunity to tack to the center with her selection of Tim Walz rather than Josh Shapiro: that a tiny minority of progressives objected to Shapiro was an argument in Shapiro’s favor, if anything. I think Walz was a decent enough pick on his own merits, but given an opportunity to offer a tangible signal of the direction her presidency was headed, she reverted to 2019 mode.”

    Shapiro was no “tack to center”. I am not really convinced Shapiro is not ideologically as left wing as Walz. He is, however, much more careful in what he says about the issues and he avoids black and white statements of the type Walz constantly makes. Shapiro would sign any anti-gun legislation that came across his desk, no matter how radical or unconstitutional, but you won’t catch him saying he wants to confiscate guns for example.

  19. I do not think the nation every debated the Jan 6 event.

    Was it “an attempt by armed individuals to overthrow the government of the U.S. and prevent the peaceful transition of power?”

    Or was it “an attempt by mostly very patriotic people who care deeply about their country to ensure that the actual significant (real or imaginary) voting irregularities that happened in November were fully investigated to ensure that the will of the actual voters in November was not being overthrown by people who believe in winning at whatever costs and by all means necessary and regularly employ underhanded (illegal?) tactics to win and subvert the will of the people?

    *********************

    I guess that in about 100 years some journalists will research, write and produce such a thing and present to the American people in a way that gives both sides of the story.

    But it took months for the media to actually print how many people were at the J6 rally, how many people actually committed crimes to break in the capitol, how many went inside, how many were arrested and convicted of crimes.

    And VERY LITTLE effort by the press to actually investigate the huge number of charges of voting “irregularities” that had been brought forward by various normal citizens who were taken aback by what they witnessed. To their credit, some state legislators did conduct hearings months after Jan 6.

    If the press and the government would have done their job between Nov election and Jan. 6, we may not have had a Jan 6 event.

  34. Supposedly a million people showed up at the Eclipse for Trump’s speech on January 6th. From journals and articles written afterwards people described that event to be peaceful and polite. The Capitol building fiasco attracted some people just walking back from the Eclipse. By the time they arrived at the Capitol the barricades had been removed and people were streaming unopposed into the building. So, some just filed in behind them and have later been arrested.

    In the last 3 plus years bits and pieces of this 4-hour protest have been revealed and pieced together, indicating the event was more of a distraction to avoid congressional debate over a collection of election irregularities, guaranteeing a quick, decisive confirmation of Biden as president. Pelosi was even recorded as owning the reason security was poor. Also, the damage done in the Capitol building was but a fraction (some estimates to be $2 million) to the $2 billion cost incurred during the Summer of Love lawlessness – people who Harris activately bailed out while J6ers were incarcerated without due process, bail, sometimes in isolation for years. The cost for a J6er just released from prison, for one window he did not break was levied at $12,000. There was so much injustice done to those participating in what is more clearly seen as an election filled with fraud and manipulation.

  87. Evidence shows people streamed onto the grounds of the Capitol building after flimsy barriers had been removed by an unknown man (filmed doing so), going thru a heavy front door whose magnetic locks had been magically opened from inside the building. Most of the initial vandalism (breaking of windows) was photographed as being instigated by men in dark clothing and shouted out by Trump-garbed people to “stop.” This info is not derived from conspiracy theories but by photos taken during the protest. This was such a flagrant “set-up,” concocted to interfere with any election clarity that may have been achieved through reviewing, reading and debating the problems/election issues witnessed in the 2020 election —-> full stop.

    I find it troubling, though, some of you take the single one-day event, breaching the Capitol building, by people protesting the legitimacy of an election, more “criminal” than the many weeks of burning, looting, rioting done for weeks because of the George Floyd arrest and death. How many Summer of Love people were arrested and held indefinitely without bail and due process? Zero. In contrast over 1300 J6ers have been prosecuted – some still held without bail or a trial – with misdemeanors turned into felonies to lengthen jail time, and are continuing to be hunted down by swat teams even today. What’s “spooky” is those who don’t have the backs of activists being vilified for not staying on the sidelines, and just letting a questionable election slip by without a strong protest to the contrary.
