Quoted for truth. As the guys I chat with who are still a Trumpers are to the point show such lack of care and ignorance they do not care about democracy, just their party.
Keeping the hope there. But still I am seeing that Trump may win. If that happens I am not going to bitch. But I will not float when he keeps fucking up, because he would and still will. If they are stupid enough to allow it to happen, it’s their damned fault.
It’s like Bush jr all over again. Which scares me was Jr was a puss pot republican president. But he was more of a decent human being than this guy. ( That is not much of anything really.)
They really aren't. We're seeing statistical noise and fretting, but there's been no real movement in the race. Don't put too much stock in one poll showing a 'narrowed' lead. Biden's lead has been consistent, even with modeling favoring Trump for fear of a 2016 repeat. Now, if continued polls see a narrowing in the same state, then we can fret a bit, but right now that isn't happening to the best of my knowledge.

CNN has Biden at his largest lead in Pennsylvania to date, at 8 points.

Other polls have him up even more than that.

I was looking at the poll averages.
As in 2016, we are talking about Trump eking out an Electoral win because of one or two States. And his path to victory is narrower. It's a strange thing that we know that he will lose the popular vote by a much wider amount than last time. We accept that the American voter will reject this man. Yet we talk about him winning because of shenanigans by the GOP in a key State or two. We are treating our country's election like it can be won by a bad call by the refs in a football game. And I don't want to hear any bs about that is the system. The EC was NOT set up so that a person that loses the vote can be elected, twice. It is a flaw, the founders got this one wrong.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Don't use realclearpolitics. They skew their data and intentionally by leaving out polls that don't make it look like a Republican is doing as badly as they might be, or include an obscure right-leaning poll to do so. It's deliberate.
Check 270toWin and/or FiveThirtyEight for poll data. They literally include the accuracy rating for whatever poll they've got at 538.

The first time somebody told me this, I wasn't sure if they were making it up, but they showed their work, and then when you look around the RCP website to see the articles...
That place is not a neutral data source. A lot of conservative talking points outside of the poll pages.

It really should just be the popular vote. I mean, why is it not the majority of americans who get to decide who their president is? It's absurd and it has cost us dearly several times.
Just because we now look back fondly on the "quiet dignity" of Dubya, doesn't mean he was a good president who didn't win a stolen election.
If republicans want to win, maybe they should run on policies that appeal to more voters! And if you can't win that way, maybe your politics are outmoded. What a fucking wild idea!
While we're at it, lets do away with gerrymandering districts. Just cut that shit out completely.
