This has been going on for at least the last week or two. An article I read said they could account for a biased poll, but I think the quantity is still skewing the average. If these polls are suspect, because of their source, it's unclear to me why polling websites sites are uncritically taking them into account.
This is why it's important to vote in record numbers no matter where people live. Kamala needs to win in a landslide in as many places as possible to leave no doubt that these polls were bogus. Otherwise we could end up with contested election results all over the country. edit: typos
You’re missing MAGA logic though. If Harris wins in a landslide, that’s further proof that the results were tampered with, because clearly not that many people actually voted for her…
Strategists? Really? Trump is literally already saying that if he loses its because of fraud. The seeds are sewn and the sign is up. Not sure strategists are needed here.
Biden would definitely immediately send in support to any kind of Jan 6th esque event.
I doubt he will leverage the immunity SCOTUS has given presidents to safeguard democracy, but I would be happy to be proven wrong on that point. Hopefully it won't come to that.
Typically you warn someone of something that they were not originally expecting. When it is expected, that is usually referred to as reminding. Like a reminder that this Sunday is the end of daylight savings time in the United States.
There are people who are not plugged in to US politics that check in somewhere at the end of an election cycle. With so much information to consume and so little time it's easy for people to have missed something. For political junkies, this is a reminder, but for many people it is a warning.
I try to take a break from the news at least once a week. Even that one day away can put me behind with everything that happens.
It's like that Doctor Who episode with the spaceship next to the black hole. The closer we get to election day the more news that happens in a given day. It's like we're slowing down by the black hole and years of news are rocketing past us on the other end of the spaceship.
I'm not sure how many never Trump Republicans are in the House of Representatives or the Senate now. It was a minority before, but it's probably even smaller now. Mitt Romney didn't run for reelection in the Senate. Every House seat is up for grabs.
Alright. That's a perfectly reasonable concern. Do the Democrats have a concrete plan prepared to ensure that this doesn't turn into Bush v Gore round 2? Because if Trump manages to legally contest this to the Supreme Court, then little problems like 'Justice' and 'Truth' certainly won't get in their way of installing a dictator.
If all people are seeing are the polls, then they could easily be misled. Tell people right-wing organizations are skewing their polls to create a red mirage.
I'm not in the US, but it was their playbook last time around and has been consistent with everything they've been doing for years. There's been no significant consequences for their behaviour, why would they not take the same tack?
