It only matters in the swing states. The ones where they're trying to purge the voter registrations, sometimes successfully. The system is broken.
The Republican campaign strategy: “cheat to win, win to cheat.”
Down ballot matters everywhere.
Only if people are allowed to vote when they show up
That’s correct. The polls are still very close where it counts.

Even in the strongest hold out states, they can be flipped if enough people vote. It can also set up for a flip next election. Vote anyway.
Vote anyway. Be part of a sweep.
Vote for every office, not just the president
In TX, Theodore "I left my dog snowflake at home while the state was freezing and without power for a family trip to Cancun then blamed my wife and children for the trip" Cruz is currently up for defeat.
He only just barely won against Beto O'rourke last time. Colin Allred is closing in and needs all the help he can get.
I would love nothing more than to see that snake pick his bags and fuck the fuck off.
I think she'll be busy enough with one job
Make it Trump's most embarrassing loss to date!
Followed by a jail sentence!
A sweep will also make it harder for the inevitable attempt of republicans to invalidate the election.
end this silver spoon narcissist retiree's bullshit. Please vote
For fucks sake this should not be tight or close. It should be a gods damned CURB STOMP that destroys the Republican party for the rest of history DAMMIT.
Don’t trust polls. Vote.

Yesterday, I saw a few of donnie's loyalists standing out on a corner at a place with steady traffic, trying to get cars and pedestrians to honk/give them a thumb's up. In the hot sun. No idea if they were paid or not. They were way up in years and probably could be doing almost anything else but that. But these people love dimbulb donnie, no matter how much of a disaster he'll be. The worse off it is for the country, they'll cheer it on, as long as they believe donnie is going to hurt the right people.
Just made me look forward to filling out my ballot all the more. But definitely, everyone: go vote. Don't believe the polls.
As a non-american this scares me.
What the fuck does Trump have to offer to the average citizen? He is basing his campaign on
As an American, this scares me.
I try to share this site when national pole articles come out, because these are the only numbers that matter in our election. It doesn't matter how blue California is if they rat-fuck the elections in the swing states.
Trumps pov is easy to understand, and so he’s easy to buy. You only need to stroke Trumps ego and speak his language and he’s on your side. That’s why Republican politicians think they can control him, except he’s too neurotic and unstable, likely because of narcissism made worse by dementia.
No one really votes for Republicans, that’s why they have to gerrymander and keep the electoral college alive. There’s like maybe 35%-37% of the American pop. which really supports their pov. The swing states are only ever an issue because of voter disenfranchisement, not because people actually swing. Very few people actually swing vote.
The electoral college favors Republicans but the narrative that “no one really votes for Republicans” is fucking bullshit
Yes, they tend to lose the popular vote but even then % wise, it’s way closer than it should be.
The way you phrase it, makes it seem like they are a fringe group that through cheating manages to win even if they only have half as many votes as the Democrats.
They are popular even with, or perhaps actually because of, all of the racism, sexism and fascist tendencies. Do not downplay that.
He is similar to popular non-Americans like Berlusconi, Meloni, Le Pen, and Kickl. Americans aren't unique in that regard.
AND HERE THEY COME INTO THE BACK CORNER IT'S TRUMP IN THE LEAD WITH HARRIS SURGING UP THE INSIDE!!
Is that like rubber bands, it's the same amount only stretched? Like we changed the scales on the graph to make it look bigger.
Is it really normal to write like that headline in English? Because to me it sounds stupid.
Seems increases would be the "normal" word to use.
Stretching a lead is a sports term. Most commonly in racing. Sports metaphors are common in politics.
Semantics but I mean it does actually indicate more people polling for her instead of Turnip so it's not stretching in that sense.
I think they use that word because in American politics things are so polarized that it really feels like any gain really does seem like stretching the tiny group of people that can be won over like a rubber band.
