Of course I will disagree with that position, but obviously that's just human nature to have disagreements.

The thing about Trump is that it takes politics not just into a radical side of the spectrum...but into the cultist mindset.

And sorry but I don't use that word lightly....a lot of the hardcore Trump supporters deify Trump.

Trump can do no wrong in his eyes, they will obey and believe literally whatever comes out of his mouth....this is very dangerous.

It is healthy to be skeptical of your leader regardless if they align with your political worldview....but we simply have not seen that from the hardcore Trump supporters.

And man...can we say Obama had supporters THIS devoted? No way, not even close.

I believe part of the reason why Trump has felt like he can literally do whatever he pleases is due in large part because of this hardcore base that will support him no matter what.

I think the biggest mistake I made in a good portion of my political threads is that I didn't properly call things out the way it should've been called out.

I used "right-wing" as a blanket term and I really shouldn't have done that.


Alright, fair enough.

tHe poLLs aRe sO rELiaBle aNd nEveR wROnG bY oVeR 7%!

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/wi/wisconsin_trump_vs_clinton_vs_johnson_vs_stein-5976.html

even funnier is the fact that Clinton's % in the polls were actually mostly correct, so the figures that were off were entirely Trump's whose poll % was 7% lower in the polls than in the actual results. And now the poll figures for Trump vs Biden are not far off from that for Wisconsin, so anything could happen.

A similar situation is also true true for Michigan, though there it was only ~4% off in 2016, which is also similar to the poll % figures for the current election.

Let me point out that it's a fact that pretty much no one expected this "upset" in Trump's favor for these states at the time (including Trump supporters), though today everyone pretends as if the attitude of "considering these blue states in the bag for Clinton" was never a thing. Historical revision, live. Doesn't mean that Trump will definitely win these against Biden, of course, but I think people tend to forget inconvenient truths to them, so I thought I'd just remind people here that at least in 2016 the polling methods for these two states clearly failed and we don't know for sure if the polling companies were able to make the appropriate adjustments in time for this election or not.

in every country young people vote less than older ones. maybe "voter supression" reinforces it but it certainly does not cause it. in germany every voter has to identify himself. no one sees that as a partisan issue. but in the us requiring voter id is unfair and evil.

Bidens lead in PA is going down. Now its only 1,2% (Clintons final lead was 1,1%). This will be a fun day.

Personally I don’t like RealClearPolitics poll average because they include what many people consider “junk polls” in their average that are wildly different to what every other poll says.

FiveThirtyEight’s poll average has Biden with a 4.6 Point Poll Average...and I’m sticking with them since even in 2016 they’re averages were pretty good.

I want to emphasize one thing about the battleground states that maybe some people are not aware of.

As of the LAST polls....Biden was comfortably ahead in Wisconsin and Michigan 7 and 8 points respectively.

IF Biden does indeed win those two states....that puts him at around 258 Electoral Votes...(Not counting all the other battleground states).

FOLKS....if that occurs....Biden only has to win ONE of the following states:

Pennsylvania (where he leads by 4.6 points)

Florida (where he leads by 2.5 points)

Arizona (Where he leads by 2.6 points)

North Carolina (Where he leads by 1.8 points)

Georgia (Where he leads by 0.9 points)

Ohio (Where he trails, but only by 0.6 points)

Texas (Where he trails, but only by 1.5 points)

Trump on the other hand has to LITERALLY win every single one of these states.

Not some....ALL OF THEM.

Biden only has to win ONE!


We are now 4 hours away from the first polls closing.

Expecting the guy who isn't Trump to win now. It doesn't seem as though Trump's time in office has satisfied more people than it has disappointed and it's easy to criticize whoever is in power.

Personally I think it's a bit better if Biden wins, since he won't completely ignore environmental issues like Trump does (what a shame), among other things. I don't view Trump as a bad guy, some of his policies/ actions seem genuinely good. He doesn't seem like the right guy to lead a country with how inappropriately he conducts himself. The only reason I somewhat would want Trump to win is because some assholes would get mad over it. In any case I don't want to see either of them win. But it's not my country so whatever.

Those are my thoughts. I might have written something stupid since I don't really pay much attention to politics.

Cubans are beyond retarded to me...their logic makes no sense.

The good news is that the other counties in Florida that went deeply for Trump are much closer this time around.

And those counties are more indicative of Pennsylvania voters...and as we all know...the winner of Pennsylvania is more than likely the President.

Correct.

As long as Biden maintains the solid leads he had in Michigan and Wisconsin...

Biden only has to win ONE of the following states (Pennsylvania, N. Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Ohio, or Florida).

Basically Biden has more pathways to victory.

They even hear the word "Socialist" and they jump.

They now believe all democrats are Socialist which is a joke....Biden was the Anti-Bernie, he's against Medicare for all and other social issues that they would deem as "Socialist".

But the other thing is that they seriously believe that America will turn into Cuba if Democrats take over.

One word explains this: demographics. Or more specifically, Texas has a large, growing, democratic-leaning Hispanic population. They usually seem to turn out in lower numbers than the Republican-leaning whites, but their turnout may be higher than usual this election.
