it's fine. those polls are totally meaningless even though every one is saying the same thing, because the worst goons on this website smugly told me so

You guys are such unscientific babies to be worried about an overt fascist being up in virtually every poll after conducting four years of attempted fascist policies and an attempted coup. You aren't allowed to be worried until I say so.

The New York Times should endorse both Joseph R. Biden and Donald J. Trump, because historically when they do that, both candidates lose.

I was shocked to see someone the other day, not a cspam goon I think, point out that the whole "the polls are meaningless this far out" is because poo poo changes. If poo poo doesn't change then they're pretty loving predictive.

I know I shouldn't care, but it was driving me nuts to see so many people referencing Obama polling like poo poo in 2012 and struggling with uncommitted votes, because that was a problem at the time! It was a thing! The narrative, that I used to see repeated here a lot, is that Obama thought his best move was to lay low and coast to a small victory to avoid having to deal with the blue dogs and the leftists. And it was a disaster and around the time of the debates his advisors scolded him into actually trying and he campaigned and acted like 2008 Obama for long enough to con enough people at the same time that Romney fumbled hard.

Those polls seem to show a complete tossup where the margin between candidates is lower than the margin of error and way larger than the undecided votes. They all show the election as a complete tossup so they pretty much can't be wrong. Maybe can agree that the polls are correct in their meaninglessness?

idk if I believed one party was competent and taking the country in a good direction it would be pretty alarming if their candidate was neck and neck with a bad man who is going to destroy the country. I wouldn't shrug my shoulders and say "eh, people will come around by November" -which is what the WH is doing

I won't be shocked at all when a bunch of undecideds who are currently pretending they won't vote for Biden still end up bending the knee on cue when the Dems demand it, and it's just enough to drag Biden's husk across the finish line

OK but what if you instead constructed a narrative that everyone voting for the good candidate was a good person and everyone not voting for him was a bad person? Then you can just run that poo poo into the ground for 8 months without having to change anything at all.

Thank you. Seeing this play out but no one ever mentioning it was making me wonder if I'd gone insane.

Trump is a fascist and will end democracy but our policies are identical to Trump's and no you don't get to pick a candidate you'd like to vote for. Doesn't that just mean you're fascist too and democracy is meaningless already?

They believe that 49% of the country are unreachable subhumans and will vote against them no matter what. After all, how else do you explain so many people voting against Obama in 2012?
