@ShaneRaynor Not if his polling numbers include his midterm endorsements, but I understand the loyalty to his person is a different thing for people. If your prognostication is right, I'm pretty sure that it won't be due to relatability. We'll see, I guess.

@apophatic1 It’s never a done deal until it’s over, but signs are definitely pointing to that outcome, barring an earth shattering event. This polling history chart from Real Clear Politics indicates Trump will likely win. He has historically beat his polling numbers.

This may be the photo that goes down as the moment Trump won the election. Unless your partisanship is hampering your objectivity, there’s no way you don’t feel the momentum in this campaign shifting in his direction. Maybe that isn’t good news to you. I have my own issues with Trump. (And even more problems with Kamala.) But barring some huge event, that’s where this election is headed.

@ShaneRaynor Thanks for clarifying. I got confused by "This may be the photo that goes down as the moment Trump won the election." So, you're saying it's a done deal and the photo is only a sign of what is already the case? Not a contributing factor?

The photo doesn’t seal the deal. The photo is an indicator… a mile marker, so to speak… Trump connects with regular people better than Kamala (deservedly or not). This image will be seen as illustrating that on November 6, when the pundits are figuring out what exactly put him in the White House again.

@MikeCosper Fun fact: putting the onus on Coates to "diffuse" a situation he did not cause is a very specific (and historic) type of framing.

Fun fact: all this drama would go away if Coates simply said, “I’m an adult, I’m a journalist, I traffic in big ideas and I’m happy to be challenged on them.” The absence of such a statement is telling about the whole affair.

“Mr. Dokoupil met for an hour with members of the CBS News standards and practices team and the in-house Race and Culture Unit, which advises on “context, tone and intention” of news programming. The conversation focused on Mr. Dokoupil’s tone of voice, phrasing and body language during his interview with Mr. Coates, one of the people said.” nyti.ms/3XU0f2F

@JR_Duren @KSPrior I merely meant that the phenomenon you highlighted wasn't seriously engaged by her. Arguing for a write in option for "future good" has to reconcile itself to possibly enabling a present threat to democracy now Dr. Prior seems to avoid addressing that. x.com/atrupar/status…

Liz Cheney: "This November, casting a vote for Donald Trump or writing someone in means you've made the decision that in too many instances so many elected Republicans have made, which is to abandon the Constitution, to tell yourself that this is simply a partisan choice. That's not what we're facing this time around."

@KSPrior @JR_Duren an equality of relative harm/potential good from either choice that just doesn't seem to stand up to the evidence. At least, as you say, not without a more expansive argument.

@KSPrior @JR_Duren Thank you. That's clarifying. Assuming the worth implies it is self-evident. I'm not sure it is. I think expanding choice is necessary. I just believe in Nov., more is required to argue that risking either main choice is worth the potential future good. It assumes

@KSPrior @JR_Duren The prioritization of the third option in light of the future good must also argue for why such a choice should be made cognizant that it may help reinstate Trump or elevate Harris & why the material consequences of either administration is worth the possible long term goal

@KSPrior @JR_Duren I also think your argument is something to consider. My concern is that it doesn't adequately address the short &long-term material consequences of the decision. The pragmatic reality is that your friends are possibly right. Such a 3rd party move may help seat 1 of the 2.

@KSPrior @JR_Duren He may not be talking about you, but the flippant response re-centers the priority on individual integrity (a key foundation of your argument) and tracks with your "three votes" joke in the article. Both fail to take seriously the points made or address their specific referents.
