Speaking as a European person (but also as someone who's been on this forum since 2007 so has had USA's culture soak through) we're very, very afraid.

I mean literally, people are stressing out about the choice that Americans are going to make in these elections and it shows (even though we have our own clusterfuck to solve on our side of the ocean). In almost all medium to long term plans we say something to the effect of "and what if Trump wins?".

We know that it's completely up to the American people to choose their leader, but it has effects on the whole world, especially the most direct trade partners. If his strategy is to not pay debt, like he says it is, what's that going to be like? If we don't get our money and start applying sanctions, will we get nuked? Will the rest of the countries in the world also choose a bigoted right wing nut?

I wish these forums were a good sample of the US audience. 99% of the posts in these thread are making fun of Trump. But when I see people in the 18-30 age range in Trump rallies it's really scary.

This happens after I had a huge conviction the UK would never vote yes on Brexit, and that happened. So I'm not going to take anything for granted anymore.

Just wanted to let you know this bit about my life and our side of this huge clusterfuck, hope you choose well. Because yes there's an objective better choice here, don't be dense about it.

You sissys need to accept the fact trump will nuke all of you to kill three terrorists.

Ron Swanson would probably say he was voting for Johnson (or not voting and instead spending election day drinking single malts at his hunting cabin), but would in fact secretly vote for HRC because he doesn't want to be blown up in a nuclear war by an orange clownbaby.

The election is extremely divided among racial lines, even more so than in the past, and Georgia has a very high minority population.

This is no different from 2012 re: racial lines. Obama secured 90 [it might even be 95%+] of the african american vote in Georgia. Georgia, and other southern states, has always been about the republicans being able to run up the score with white voters. In the NE and Midwest, a lot of poorer and less educated whites vote Democratic, this isn't the case for the south.

Basically the best explanations where HRC is down 3 in Georgia and probably up a corresponding amount in NC are the fact that educated whites have completely fled the GOP.

One of the biggest Republican strongholds electoral vote wise and Trump is carrying it by nearly the margin of error. Jesus Christ. Explains why Clinton is aiming at the third-party members via Al Gore (if all goes as planned): she pulls off enough of those and she might just hobble the GOP. Losing to Clinton is one thing. But for them to lose some of their bigger states? The GOP will freak the gently caress out.

State polls are all over the place, and for every alarming state poll on the Republican side, there is one on the Democrats' side.

For example Reuters/Ipsos has:

Michigan - tied
Nevada - Trump +3
New Mexico - Trump +5
Colorado - Trump +3
Oregon - Clinton +3
Maine - Clinton +1

Polling has either become really bad, or we are headed for a very weird electoral map in November.

not only are their sample sizes on the smaller side, you have to remember how things tend to balance out with national polls, so you're not as particular with the nitty gritty of getting the sample in maine correct to a 95% confidence interval
