And it won’t even be over on Tuesday no matter who wins.

I just have to start distracting myself when it happens.

    Why is it close though? Kamala was doing really well and was up in all the polls for some time. Did she make some bad decisions, like stated she’d help Israel continue with their genocide, paraded around with Liz Cheney while praising Dick Cheney, work heavily with Mark Cuban who then said Kamala will be very pro corporation and should fire Lina Khan?

      it seems close due to weird polling and the fact that 40% of americans dont vote at all. i bet harris wins by 5% or more, the margins that the congressional races are exposing.

        I believe this too. The polls, election betting sites, DJT stock price, etc, are all being manipulated to hell and back. None of it is based on reality at all. The massive turnout of early voting is another good sign.

        But because of the electoral college basically the votes that really matter are only a few hundred thousand in like 7 states

        I hope your right. Part of me also wants to believe that they aren’t releasing internal polls that paint a better picture because they want every voter to vote in a panic, like democracy depends on it.

        On the other hand, Trump is still going to win at least 45% of the national vote. He can win.

        Harris will win my state by a landslide. Of course I’ll vote but it won’t affect the results - all that money and effort for campaigning, and neither candidate even bothers here. Not that I really want more spam calls
