The fact that this is even remotely a close match is proof that the United States is a failed democracy.
It isn't really that close. The media benefits from saying it is, so they do. The Republicans have been flooding the market with garbage polls showing Trump ahead, so the aggregators are claiming it's close by treating them the same as legitimate polls because they also value the clicks that come from a close race. Come election day you'll see Harris with a decisive win.

Okay, well I hope you understand the importance of accepting the results of the election even if the candidate that you don't like wins.

I think one candidate has made clear they despise people like Fuzzy and wants them dead.

It's really hard to take that principle seriously when the candidate you're terrified of, with support of his party, has openly said he will not to do that and threatened violence if he loses.

Also with the stories that they are taking 'stealing the election' so seriously they are trying or already have to put in Pro-Trump electors in place. For 'election integrity' of course.

That said, my gut feeling is that Harris is going to win. Trump really hasn't done anything to gain voters. Harris gains the Never Trumpers and also the apathetic voters who wasnt on board with Biden due to his age, and also possibly more female voters due to her stance on abortion.

I think the voters that are turned off from Harris is out gained by voters who are more enthusiastic about her.

I don't trust the polls. Never have.

I'm really tense about this and the closer to the election we get the worse it gets.

He isn't as rich as people think he is. He is richer than we are sure but he ain't 'rich as hell'. This will be become apparent if he loses the election and all of his legal issues can start back up again.

Oh I get it. I get worried that Trump and his supporters made plans to rig the elections in defense of Democratic 'rigging'. I get worried that Democrats don't show up thinking they don't need to because they think they have it in thd bag or Trump won anyway and it doesn't matter.
