It is a lot closer than people realize

  1. No….it’s not. MSM has to push that since they are under trump’s thumb and cannot report that he is losing bigly. Polls are biased. Pay attention. It’s not even close. However, R’s will do everything they can to cheat out of losing. They are already delaying GA results since they know they are not going to go their way. But sane and rational people are on to them and already have preventative measures in place. It’s not even close to tied.

    I don’t think it’s as close as the polls say.

    But it also remains that Kamala’s win has to be convincing and impossible to refute.

    Because Trump and his cronies are going to do everything they can to throw it all into chaos.

    In 2020 there were something like 60+ lawsuits. Expect ten times that this year, in almost every state.

    We need all the swing states to come through. We need to tell Trump once and for all that he’s not wanted here.

  3. You’ve got it backwards. The race, in terms of voting, is over. It’s a one-sided slaughter. Biggest landslide in the lifetime of most people on Reddit.

    But the media has a vested interest in propping Trump up and pretending like he has an actual chance to keep people watching and engaging. Because they care more about views than news.

  4. Truth is it isn’t tied and hasn’t been at any point. The media gets more attention by pushing this false narrative. With the number of high level Republicans defecting, the enthusiasm around Harris’ campaign, and the Trump campaign shooting itself in the foot constantly the divide is there and growing by the day.

  5. It’s not close most polls are conducted over landlines at line 2 in the afternoon on a weekday so tend to not show younger generations who are either at work or don’t have landlines to call

  6. Because half of the people in this country are a bunch of racist morons and they want a racist moron for president.

  7. Man the responses in here are giving me 2016 vibes.

    Truth is Harris will likely win the popular vote by millions but the race itself is probably going to come down to less than 50k people across a handful of states.

    Hopefully Harris and other Democratic candidates continue to over perform vs the polling.

  8. Only if women and gen z stay home. I hope they do not. With those demographics Harris simply cannot lose.

  9. It’s close because there are millions of voters who pay zero attention to politics. All they do is work, enjoy/hate life with family, and run along that rat wheel. They pop their heads out once every 4 years and compare, broadly, the feels of one party vs the other, and then vote on that basis. Politicians spend millions in dollars and energy points to capture these “popups”

    Meanwhile, the politicians ignore their base during this time of capturing the popups. They concentrate their efforts to swing states w/the most electoral votes that have the most popups and that’s just how it has to be done due to the electoral college.

    So, states like PA are important and has more of a say in how this country is run than the most populace and richest state in the USA. Voters in PA matter more than CA, even though CA voters contribute more to our overall first world status as US Americans.

    Is it fair? Maybe not. Is it working? Well, if the USA was controlled by CA, our inflation would be just as bad as the EU post Covid. There’s something to be said for centrists. However, we’re all in debt and desperate when we get disease because we’re simps for corporate profit also.

    Anyway, a mere 80k of ex-Obama voting “centrists” ushered in Trumpism… for us all to live through for decades.

    Young people need to figure out how to deal with that in their quest towards Gene Roddenberry’s vision of perfection. The rest of us need to calm the fuck down and take a step back because we’re not the future anymore.

  10. It’s not. Iirc polling is using 2020 census data which largely excluded much of gen z. Gen Z will be voting in this election and they are overwhelmingly democratic.

    The only reason it could be a close race is because intelligence is low, and propaganda works.

    My tinfoil hat theory is people running these polls are inflating trumps numbers to scare democrats into voting so he’ll lose by a landslide and shut the hell up and go away (hopefully)
