He's not, the media just wants it to look like a super-close race so people will keep watching ads.
See, at this point... I'm either convinced Harris has pretty much got this in the bag and the media is lying to get people to doomscroll because money, or there's a Copium Leak and when it's fixed I'll see that Trump is coming to kill us all.
The former feels weirdly more valid...
Still VOTE, I ALREADY HAVE! MY STATE HAS EARLY VOTING, FIND OUT IF YOURS DOES TOO!
You probably have confirmation bias based on your environment. I own a contracting company and many in the trades drink the koolaid, and are completely blind that they are voting themselves poor over the long term.
Some people can only learn through pain - they can’t express empathy past what they personally experience - and those people tend to be squarely trump voters. They’ll vote for bacon every day as pigs, and only realize their mistake afterwards.
Who ISN'T experiencing pain in this fucking Hunger Games ass world?
I desperately want to believe that about the media, but Tim Miller and the folks at Pod Save America (whom I trust to be brutally honest) are also constantly talking about how close the race is. I'm so fucking depressed about this shit. We are this close to having a literal fascist as President.
This fucking son of a bitch had to ask John Kelly who the good guys were in WWI.
FUCK.
Nate Silver's said he's already calling it for Trump, which doesn't feel good to know, because the last time he said that Trump won.
He said his gut says it goes to trump, but I’m quietly hoping a lot of women lie about their votes and go for harris.
I was hoping for that, but then I realized swing states legalized marriage voting, where the man can decide the woman's vote and go into the booth with her to ensure it.
