From where are you getting these statistics?

Yeah Axios says 60M voted as of today not 100M. Big difference.

I’ll be honest, you’ve lost me with this post.

Not important, really, but you said your son had Swiss nationality. He can only have that, I thought, if one of the parents is Swiss. As far as I know, you aren't so I assumed it must be your wife. Not stalking, I'm interested because my first four were born in Switzerland but, at the time, they couldn't get Swiss nationality. If too personal, just ignore it.

The sense of humour thing is a French thing, that the Swiss have don't have one.

Ok. Yes, my partner is Swiss (from Basel), so my son has Swiss citizenship. Because he was born in the US, he also has US citizenship. Because he was born to me, he also has British and Spanish citizenship (though, the latter is still in process due to more red tape to attain when born outside of Spain). He is being taught English, German/Swiss-German, and Spanish at home.

No words.

See, to me, this is instantly disqualifying. It doesn't matter if the person was GOP, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Green, Purple, CTID Party, or my own parent or kid.

Meantime, to others here: "Hmmm, I don't know. What are his policies?"

The same Mike Collins that had his wife and kids pose with guns for the family Christmas card, because nothing says 'Happy Birthday Jesus' like an AR-15.

Or have I got my MAGA blowhards mixed up?

Think they sited a Wall Street journal poll.

Have heard some anecdotal stories from a guy who spends a lot of time around college campuses that claims the enthusiasm isn’t what it was last time around. That’s purely anecdotal.

The power of the lobbying system. Way more corrosive than say russian interference yet barely gets a mention.

Well…. Needs musk.

Yeah. I posted something similar before, but basically these people fear and admire fascist bullies, and that's why they support Trump and his acolytes.

The rationale "oh but neither candidate is any good" yadayadayada and all the other bullshit is because they're ashamed and don't want to admit it.

I don’t think the 100m total early votes cast so far is accurate.

The best I have found is just off 60m as of this afternoon, per NBC.

I am also not sure about the ethnicity/racial breakouts, as I have not seen them anywhere.

Which source was providing those?
