Stacey has a better chance of winning than Ben Jealous and that's fact. She's within the margin of error and turning out new voters by the day. The idea that she "can't" win does not hold up with the polls. Y'all just need to stop being so pessimistic.

What does her having a better chance of winning than Ben Jealous have to do with her chances winning in this Red ass state? ,

A loss is still a loss.

I think its cause its striking that she's polling at basically a tie in a red state

While Ben is down 15-20 points in a state where Dems outnumber GOP on a 2 to 1 basis and no GOP nominee for Governor in MD has won with more than 885,000 votes

From what I was reading the other day it's mostly new Dems

What’s the percentage breakdown? Is the difference large enough to cover the distance between the parties in the primary?

A democrat is polling better in a conservative state than a democrat politician in a democratic state.

That sentence needed quotation marks like a motha.

Can I tell you a story? It’s about my depression but it’s a fun little anecdote.

When I was a kid I wanted a Nintendo 64. I asked my parents for it for Christmas. They told me — they implied I was going to get it. Christmas morning came and as I opened my socks and more socks it started to dawn on me that I was not going to get the game system. I started to think about the stories I would have to come up with on why I did not get it.

I told everyone in class that I was going to get it.

I've only seen a few tweets here and there but it looks like new Dem registration is up

Man, I was so pissed last night after finding out one of my supervisors, a female African immigrant, a mother, a muslim, and a friggin Pennsylvanian resident, wasn't registered to vote and was so nonchalant about it. We're cool peoples, and she's a supervisor, so I couldn't really black out on her like I wanted.

I thankfully got her registered online before the deadline (I think) at damn near 11pm, but this shyt was almost like pulling teeth. And then she said that if the polling location was as far away as it initially seemed (like 20min drive), that she definitely wasn't voting. Turns out it's not that far and hopefully I got everything squared away.

But that shyt had me dealing with her during this convo.

She literally checked off every category that Trump and the Rethugs are aiming to destroy (Black, female, Muslim, immigrant, works in health industry), lives in one of the most critical states in the Union, and was like at the mere thought of voting. Said she hasn't voted since Obama in '08.

@New Jeruzalem Journalist the deadline in PA was on Tuesday. I don't think there was a specific time that you had to do it by, so y'all are good. I'd imagine that the online registration portal would've locked you guys out anyway.

But yes, her apathy is why I can't fukk with people. She's the type to drag down the positive energy and give every excuse in the world. I'd love someone like her if I were a republican.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was no specific time on the online reg as long as it was completed before midnight. But I didn't start the process for her until nearly 10 at night.

On a positive encouraging note though, most of the other workers last night I spoke to who were also mostly either African or Haitian immigrants and women were all registered, made sure their families were registered, and obviously LOATHE Trump. And they all live in PA.

New poll shows Ned Lamont is up 8 points for Gov. of Connecticut. I was worried because Malloy has been a disaster and there's been more Trump support popping up over these two years but maybe it's just racists who were always racist coming out of hiding

But Lamont should take this.

Y’all ain’t kidding when y’all say a lot of people don’t care to. It’s a fukking shame. They be on that all sides are the same shyt. I had to look at my cousin like the other day and tell him the fukkin facts. Dude is older than me and is supposed to put me on to shyt not the other way around.
