    We keep getting these reports yet the race is still 50/50. He might still win. I feel like he can call Kamala the n word and it still wouldn’t affect his chances.

      That’s what is scary, especially with another part about all the shady yet very real ways he could win.

      • Despite him looking like and absolute baffoon Everytime he talks, and all the blatant lies and dripple, coupled with getting manhandled in the debate, all the lawsuits…the polls are still disturbingly close

      • Some states have enacted laws to literally meddle with votes and counts to the point some can absolutely reject the outcome

      • States passing laws to allow them to purposely delay the counts long enough that no one hits 270, it goes to court and scotus, or have Congress/house vote

      • Very real possibility if Harris does hit 270 first that Jan 6th becomes a slap fight by comparison to an actual coup attempt

      The polls are worrying (the Dems need a lead of 3 percentage points uniformly to win), though methodology is a sticking point. Phone polls are biased towards people who answer phone calls from strangers, which is said to skew older. And the Republicans’ war on women’s rights is likely to lose them the female vote in a way that twentysomething incel Tate fans are unlikely to compensate for.

      is always like this, for every presidential race as long as i can remember. it’s suuuuper close every time and just enough for the fuckery to matter. wether that’s hanging chads or swing states or electric voting machine fuckery.

      The leadup is always breathless and neck-and-neck until election night and they have to start publishing totals.
