Because it is against the Democrats material interests to hold and wield power.

Because the material conditions of late stage capitalism that lead to fascism are inevitable.

You can't forget that the voters are all americans.

Because the people who own everything want him to win. It's that simple.

Have you seen some of the wishy-washy mouth breathers in the "undecided" focus groups? I'm embarrassed to admit we're the same species. The Trump cultists might be insane, brain-poisoned, sociopathic, fundamentalist idiots but at least they have the capacity to make a bad decision. The independents can't seem to make any decision. It if they do, it's based on some random nonsense or impulse. I dunno if they've got learning disorders or are just sad windsocks, but the fact that they are the ones who get to decide if America dies next month is terrifying.

I don't think you have any idea who you're describing. Of course it's possible to find a couple dozen people who legitimately have no idea who to vote for, but you know it's a lot easier to find millions of people who are going to stay home. As always, the real challenge is getting people to go vote.

But you think this ultra-minority, that is barely in existence, is going to decide an election. By your reasoning, it doesn't matter what anyone else does. Everyone else in the United States is powerless between now and election day. That's your position, right? ... But I think it's just a cop out. You just want someone to blame if your candidate loses, and you certainly don't want to blame yourself or your candidate.

If you're posting this right now because of recent poll data, It's because Republican companies are creating their own polls just so that they can claim the race is closer than it is.

Of course we don't know who's going to win. The election hasn't happened yet. But any speculation about changes in the last few days should be taken with a grain of salt, because this is a playbook that was trotted out two years ago and it's back again.

I don't really understand it. I guess it's because a close race drives turnout and they think their supporters need more encouragement than ours do?

Because one side wants to own the libs and that's all they want to do. While one side is just as bad, they want to own the population to get away with crimes and the other side is never taken seriously as it's full of gas huffing paint-chip addicts.

Hmm, is this post from a Russian bot or someone who is both sideding to sound smart even if it is a bad take?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Ha I'm so smart you didn't even catch the third side represented in that mouth salad.
