“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

It’s really weird and stressful to be a US citizen right now.

I can't even begin to express how stressed I've been over this.

Anyone that has the misfortune of recognizing they've been encountering my comments of pure exasperation lately will attest to that...

I'm generally a pessimistic person, but I truly believe Trump is going to win this and the heritage foundation is going to be able to implement their plan to solidify control of the government.

Don't give up hope. Harris is up +4 in Pennsylvania

Its pretty damn sad that we are being told to enthusiastically settle for the, "nothing will fundamentally change" candidate, in the face of obvious genocide and war crimes. But its hard to argue with the idea that a dem centrist beats a gop candidate. I wonder if that will ever change, or are we now permanently stuck voting for 5% better than fascism in every election.

We definitely need to keep hope, but unfortunately the way polls have worked out it's like +4 is actually -2 when the real results come in.

There was an article I read the other day about polling accuracy and they essentially said even just one week out polls are generally only 60% accurate. While I'd love to believe that gives more room for Harris, I think the more realistic scenario is that people are ashamed to admit they're voting for Trump so he's just showing lower support in polling than really exists. :(
