These days, any suggestion of poor parenting in relation to anything, is the quickest way to have the twitterverse pile on you.

Pack the court Joe. Ram that mother fucker full to bursting.
Drove to VA via WV yesterday via rural MD panhandle. Remarkably few political signs or posters given how much energy there clearly is in this election. I am not sure whether that signifies anything, or just that electronic media have taken over from hard copy.
I am picking up the same vibe as you - both sides see this as an end-of-the-world type election should the other side win. Trump's core is obdurate and energized. The Dems are using Trump very effectively to get their own base out and to bring in new voters (which I do not sense Trump is - he is rather retaining existing voters more effectively than I would have imagined).
As for GA, the only person I know there other than TimB is an avid Trump man. But I have got to believe that the demographic directions, historical under-voting in some demos, and the sheer numbers voting this time must be a very good sign for Biden and Dems the whole length of the ticket.
If you mean by Crackers natural conservatives who could not support Trump, I think most would want the GOP not just to lose the White House but to be given an thorough nut kicking in both Houses so that the party can be rid of the novel SARS-Trump-16 virus.
That would explain why there is talk we’re about to be shoved in a higher tier.
Which would be an embuggerance from my point of view given I live in Cannock Chase but work and therefore shop elsewhere.

The problem is, that may be comforting politically but it’s bloody disturbing medically.
You also have an issue here on the Hispanic vote. This has incredibly been under sampled in this election but there are plenty of signals that Hispanics feel they have been ignored in this campaign, at least outside specific places in Florida. Hispanic turnout in NC, for example, looks low.
Finally, because of CV, the Democrats will get impacted on what have been two of their most successful GOTV strategies, namely “souls to the polls” (Black voters) and college students given the disruption to campuses.
Ralston in Nevada thinks it could go either way - a state the Democrats won last time. Bitzer’s latest missive suggests NC is very much up in the air. Not really landslide territory
Someone tried to arson the Robert Koch Institute last night.
Crazy. What were they hoping to do, burn all the data the RKI are collecting?
Trumps “we’ve rounded the corner” is like the band playing on the Titanic , the more he says this the more it pisses off even more people .

If The Democrats really thought Texas was in play, they would send Joe. Kamala is probably more of an asset for the state elections

They're all bad but imo the tenth is the worst.
Trafalgar gives Trump a 3% lead
Gravis Marketing gives Biden a 13% lead
Nate Silver then highlights ridiculous crossbreaks that completely undermine the Traflagar poll's credibility. Those crossbreaks then disappear from the Trafalgar site.
Meanwhile the average polling lead for Michigan from all companies remains at 7.6%.
The stench of the putrifying rat is overwhelming. Yet some here still deny that they can smell it.

Is anyone testing in Europe any better than the UK or Germany
Also, if anyone knows what is happening at Texas State University in terms of students going back (!), I’d be interested. If there have not been lines of students turning out to vote, the fact the 2020 votes have already surpassed 16 could be positive for Trump
I really can’t see how schools will be able to stay open under such circumstances. It’s already running rampant through them and if vulnerable teachers have to shield then the whole system will implode again.
Plus we’re already all completely worn out and the children are exploding under the restrictions even though so far we’ve been pretty lucky with the weather.

Ultimately every country suffers from the same issue of people not isolating after testing positive. Nations who have effectively defeated the virus have very good isolation measures (Australia, NZ) or people who are responsible and isolate properly without needing special measures (SK, Japan).
The consequences of somebody opening the taps (metaphorically speaking) on that thing do not bear thinking about. It would make the Braer or even the Torrey Canyon look like a picnic.
Meanwhile the Navy bomb disposal squad has been seen boarding the ferry to the island. By coincidence or otherwise.
Hope the weather was good for your drive, some very lovely country in those parts. Back in my misspent youth used to travel from WV to DC via the Maryland panhandle.
One of my stops was a candy store along the road in (IIRC) Grantsville MD which sold all kinds of candy they made (I think) on site or close by. NOT fancy but good stuff; my personal favorite was their white chocolate which the sold in chunks.
Re: signage in MD & WVA really not much incentive this year EXCEPT for (maybe) local races, as everybody knows which way these states are going at top end of ballot.
By "Crackers" I simply mean Georgians of any description; like to think of TimB as an Anglo-Cracker!
Of these votes, 40.5% are from registered Democrats, and 30% from registered Republicans, an absolute difference of 326,000.
The Republicans have an enormous amount of catching up to do and are running out of time to do it.
I agree! It's the government's job to make the government look bad - and frankly, Labour are amateurs at it compared to the government - leave it to the professionals!
And of course the countries who have best dealt with this are all in the Southern Hemisphere and in New Zealand case 1500 miles from nearest land in Australia and comprises two islands with wide open spaces
In rural areas, which are 19pc of votes cast so far (or what I checked last earlier), the Democrats have a big lead by party registration. Given these tend to be Trump areas, and that the EV has skewed heavily to older voters, there is a good chance many of these are registered as Democrats but have voted for Trump.
Regardless, the Republicans have been cutting the democrat lead in party registration votes by c 2pc per day and it is now at 11pc. Souls to the polls will be less effective this year given CV.
I’m increasingly of the view the Republicans will hold NC both at the Senate and Presidential level
He said he would ask parliament to extend the new rules, initially in force for 15 days, to six months.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54682222
It is unclear from the report, is the PM really asking for a curfew for 6 months? Of it is the power to impose it at anytime over the next 6 months?
You raise good point re: student vote.
And while it is true that on-campus population is either missing OR reduced, the actually students are still around. AND while a bit harder to mobilize, methinks that most (actually a strong majority) will indeed vote.
Actually think is is a bigger issue for local Democratic candidates for Congress & legislature in swing districts, where the student vote is esp. important for Dems.
You seem desperate for the schools to close.
