We’re probably properly ranked at this point, I just don’t like that he releases a metrics-based formula before games are played. I probably wouldn’t even mind a starting point if it was embedded and first metrics released 12/1.

Is that the science of today, men can't get pregnant? Just confirming as I can't keep up with this issue. But I was once a fetus, not sure how you view your life, but I wouldn't have wanted my mother to end it there for me. Curious if we can get a simple majority of people who wish their mother's ended their life there.

That's idiotic as saying the consequences of putting your hand on a hot stove is an ice pack.

The problem with preseason KenPom is it assigns a number to something that is metrics based. We’ve seen it takes a lot to move numbers through the year.

Everyone should start 0.000. Arbitrarily assigning a metrics rank with no metrics is stupid.

They make you believe if you're against abortion you're against women's rights. 1% of abortions are from rape and 0.5% are from incest.

Indeed, abortions because of rape and incest are very rare. Almost as rare as abortions after 21 weeks of gestational age, speaking of blowing things out of proportion.

Schiano will some day be the biggest state of NJ Pensioner regardless of what he ends up achieving at Rutgers.

I get the feeling this will be a likable team this year.

Agreed. Social media blows up all of the crazy ones, so when you see a handful of people going overboard, it makes it seem like it’s happening everywhere.

It’s not a huge issue at all. Dems just can’t offend anyone ever so they can’t say where the line should be drawn over what should be acceptable… so republicans know they are winning that issue based on public perception so they blow it up.

It happens on both sides. Social media makes it sound like all conservatives are right wing nut jobs. Abortion is blown up in the same manner. They make you believe if you're against abortion you're against women's rights. 1% of abortions are from rape and 0.5% are from incest. 98.5% are from people doing what they want and not wanting the consequences of their actions. But it get's blown up that if you're against it, women everywhere have no control over their body. Obesity wouldn't be a thing if we could all put whatever we want in our bodies and have no consequences for it.

I really don't think it's because they're "louder," I think it's more about the right-wing obsession to demonize trans people. People like Chris Rufo and Matt Walsh have made a career out of this. And how many people do you think have really wanted to be singled out on the libsoftiktok account (another trans panic profiteer)?

This may seem hard to believe, but I think the vast majority of nonbinary people want to simply live their lives in peace.

It’s turnout IMO with turnout of some key demographics in swing states:
- Suburban women particularly in PA.
- Hispanic vote shift to Trump…is it real?
- Black male voter turnout…apparently lukewarm on Harris.
- Gen Z…do they come out and make a difference. Axios had a poll last month that Gen Z vote was lining up by gender…male/Trump and female/Harris.

Yep. Just really hard to predict. Trump seems to have made up ground with Hispanics, black men, and young men.

Not the largest demographic groups so Harris can overcome that but she needs to outperform Biden elsewhere to make that up. They need to outperform Biden with women, and getting them to show up is a huge part of that.

I’d rather be Trump as of today based on the polls. It’s going to come down to turnout and I think Trumps base is more enthusiastic. If it’s higher turnout, I think Harris gets the edge. I’m not convinced Dems will get the turnout they need though.
