“This is not who we are.” Really? I’m tired of hearing that platitude from politicians, including our president. If Trump gets elected again, that will show who we are. You can talk red states, Electoral College, gerrymandering, “popular vote” all you want, but the fact will remain that if we cannot get enough votes to counter those disparities that is who we will be.

@johnldeboer Do you remember 2022 when there was supposed to be a red wave? That turned out to be more like a trickle.

The polling is a lie. It is not intended to accurately represent how people currently think about the election. It is designed to keep us on the edge of our seat, engaged with the media, and seeing all those advertising dollars at work.

Biden should win in a landslide in November if we all vote. There are people who will vote for his corpse over the convicted felon.

@danielbsmith You can choose the poll you want to buttress your case. Polls in 2020 said that Biden would win by 12 points. In 2016, they predicted an easy Clinton victory. Having faith in polls is not the point. Who you gonna believe, polls or your lyin’ eyes? Frankly, I wish they would either stop doing polls entirely, or limit them to the last two weeks of the election cycle. Why should I care how other people will vote? They have their votes, and I have mine.

@johnldeboer Oh, I'd love the polling to be restricted like that. It would go a long way toward cleaning up some of the political crust we build up every 2 years.

@danielbsmith Yeah, polls become news items in themselves and give the chattering classes something to pontificate/worry/boast about.
