I more than expect Biden to win in November – I expect a Blue Tsunami, up and down the ballot!
Still, I would like to ask a purely hypothetical question: What are the chances that Democrats control a majority of state delegations in the House of Representatives, ensuring a Biden win *even if* no candidate reaches 270 Electoral Votes?
Insider opinion (senior staffers, K St) are betting that Democrats will lose the Senate and retake the House. The Senate is an uphill battle, but I think it's still possible that we can keep our majority there. We'll see!
Yes, Democrats are favored to retake the house. (Wouldn’t shock me if that happens *before* November.)
That said, my question is very different and quite specific. In a situation where no candidate gets to 270 Electoral Votes, the House of Representatives elects the President, with an unusual rule: each state cast one vote.
My question is: After November’s election, how likely are Democrats to control a majority of state delegations?
The Biden/Harris campaign has been doing a good job at punching trump. I’m hopeful they have many messages for all Blue states and any state remotely approaching a swing state about Jr. And I hope they are genius at targeting the few dt voters in every state who are gettable for lying, conspiracy theorist, antivax nutter Jr.
Hope everyone has sent postcards to register and vote from home in Nevada and that they
have ordered postcards this week to get unregistered potential voters registered in Montana. Biden/Harris will win in 2024. You can order postcards at https://shop.bluewavepostcards.org/
Thank you Simon for all you do and for your uplifting pieces. Always working. VOTE BLUE!
Please, please, please make the videos shareable. If the components of your post aren’t shareable, we can’t amplify them to key audiences. I want to send out the word about JFK but can’t find the video link anywhere.
Eric, are you addressing me? The post is on Hopium Chronicles, by Simon Rosenberg. I’m new at Substack and don’t know how to share on this. If need be I’ll try to see how it is done.
I was addressing Simon. I am hoping that he starts making the components of his posts more easily shareable. I often share the whole thing, but for some audiences, it's not appropriate. If he made the videos individually shareable (or just provided the URL) I could do a better job amplifying.
DuckDuckGo.com has an excellent Search feature – and you can search specifically for video, with refinements such as how recent. Moreover, if you set your Browser and System Preferences appropriately, you can play videos (including YouTube videos) WITHIN the DuckDuckGo search result list.
Which means you don’t have to watch lots of inane YouTube ads.
Tip: This is a great way to play music videos, free from ad disturbances!
I share the link to Hopium Chronicles so whoever sees it gets their complete daily dose of Hopium. All the good info I want to share is here in one place.
I do the same and it works for some audiences. It doesn't work for other audiences though. In this case, I have mentally unstable relatives who are voting for RFK because "he has some interesting ideas" and it might help them to see that RFK is really a shill for the Orange Traitor.
I'm fairly drunk on Hopium ever since the Florida initiative was allowed to go on the ballot.
We're going to take Florida away from them, y'all. We're going to send Senator Voldemort Scott back to the private sector to steal more Medicare payments.
And then we're going to take North Carolina and Texas from them and send Senator Evangelical Cruz back to that great prayer circle on the edge of town that just a few old timers still attend.
I will work until my fingers fall off to make our dreams the United States' reality in 2024!
Whew, allowing myself to visualize and really feel these scenarios for a minute there was a HUGE boost of oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine. Who needs anti-anxiety meds when you can just visualize these things! For the record, I think it’s all possible too!!!!
Simon, as an Iowa grad I appreciate your shout out to Caitlin Clark. Iowa had an amazing season and lost yesterday to a bigger, stronger and deeper team. There was no whining about being cheated or that it was a fixed outcome. A lesson for all of us, including many people in Caitlin's home state.
I was shocked by the Kennedy campaign manager clip. She appeared to think her comments would not be repeated outside that room. Or have they decided it's not worth maintaining the fiction?
I also follow Harriet Cox Richardson in addition to Hopium Chronicles. Ms Richardson is avowedly non-political. She writes from an Historical perspective. What she has shown are the historical incidents that parallel’s today’s madness. She notes that the American people have rejected authoritarian regimes in the past and will do so again. She saw today’s situation coming 12 years ago and was quite concerned because no one was listening to her. Today she has well over a million Substack subscribers who are listening with rapt attention
HOPIUM ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: just got confirmed as a "super volunteer" on Vote Forward!
My friends and I have been writing letters to low-propensity voters in MI, GA, and AZ via Vote Forward (votefwd.org). Thing is, their website will only issue you a max of 300 voter addresses, after which you have to specifically apply to be a "super volunteer" who can be entrusted with additional voters. Yesterday I was granted that designation.
Who's with me? Who else can join my friends and me in blowing past that 300-letter threshold and becoming a "super volunteer"? Let's do this, folks!
Go to Vote Forward (votefwd.com), sign up, and start writing letters to voters in swing states! You can start writing the letters now, but you won't actually mail them out until October, so that they'll have maximum electoral impact on the (infrequent) swing state voters who'll ultimately decide this election. Join in! It's easy! (Note: though I probably sound like a shill, I don't actually have any formal relationship with Vote Forward... I'm just an enthusiastic volunteer who's excited to save democracy).
Something interesting (though not necessarily super-meaningful): in the PredictIt daily betting market, Joe Biden now leads Donald Trump in the question of "Who will win the 2024 US presidential election?" Gamblers are looking at the data and trends, and the bet they're making is that Joe Biden looks like a winner, and Donald Trump looks like a loser. Let's work hard and prove them right!
I’m with you Simon, supporting all Democrats!!! VOTE BLUE IN NOVEMBER!!!
I Hope that the Lincoln project takes that cut of the NY state Kennedy campaign manager and rams it down their throats.
I don't hope - I know they will

It's not an uphill battle in my mind. It's 50/50.
Maybe. We don't really know at this point. Crossing fingers.
Yes, Democrats are favored to retake the house. (Wouldn’t shock me if that happens *before* November.)

Franklin and Marshall poll had Biden up ten in Pa.
Yes and a couple of months ago it had Biden just up 1

Okay.
Wow. He sent it to you!! Cool. Now I can watch it as well!!
Also, not sure what video you are referring to. I would go onto YouTube and search for it.

The link is in a reply to a previous comment
I will do a better job at this but I get most of my videos from Twitter. Need to give this a little thought.....it's not as simple as you think. S
Just providing the link would do the trick if you can't turn on sharing from within the player itself.

Here's the link to the Kennedy video - https://twitter.com/cwebbonline/status/1777021184737194221
THANK YOU!
Eric, Looks like the video was originally posted on YouTube and has since(no surprise) been removed. No surprise either Rita Palma is an anti-vaxer.

Simon, we appreciate your steady hand in filtering out the wheat from the chaff. So much noise from
major media outlets that still are anchored to the “ horse race” perspective of this existential fight
between Autocracy and Democracy.
Thanks for this great dose of hopium, Simon! The perfect way to start the week!
Can you provide a link to the second video Kennedy helping Trump? Thanks!

Nice to see positive trends! And TIPP has another new poll today with Biden +3.

Yeah - right ?! Seriously what were they thinking ? Either way, we'll take the gift !
The idiocy is strong with MAGA
Just put the last of my Gallego postcards in the mailbox! Felt sooo good!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Three of my “tribe” members and I just did the same. 💪💙

That’s awesome ! I looked at the Vegas odds about two weeks ago and they had TFG up by a little, but I’ve been waiting for it to flip over!
