Maybe he should do another speech where he talks about shooting people, throwing people in jail and about how much a pile of shit this country is. That seems to be working well for him, gaining him some votes. Maybe he should dig deeper into the racism and xenophobia, it’s what got him his highest numbers in the poles, right?

    Let it motivate you to go vote. You are not alone, even if you live in a deeply red area.

    Every person who votes helps tell the story that the majority of this country rejects a crazy person leading our country.

    Living in a red state this is how I thought of it, even if my vote is wasted at least maybe the world can see a majority (even if it's slight) of Americans voted against trump numerically even if he wins.

    He is scared and coming across like a bitter asshole. The mic deep throating would have been arguably "funny" but the whole mood was sour because all he was really doing was bitching and whining about them not setting up his mic properly. Surely even Trump voters must wonder how he could manage an actual problem if he turns into an absolute manbaby at the most minor of hiccups

    Mic deep throating is funny on late night comedy TV.

    Simulating oral sex live in front of children is not.

    That was just bizzare.

    Can you think of the leader of any other country where that would slide? I mean, not even Boris would have been that crass. Even keeping it within the States, is there a past president who would have?

    It really made me think of elderly flashers, who act that way because they have degenerative neurological disorders associated with age.

    As another Australian, a vote against Trump also is a vote against the Palmer united party, Dutton and other c**ts.

    I'm an American living in the Netherlands. The Dutch just elected a "conservative" goon named Geert Wilders several months ago. His rhetoric has been eerily similar to what's coming out of the UK, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia. Hell, Meloni in Italy has roots in the OG fascist party. They're getting too comfortable.

    From what I can discern through my news apps (Associated Press and Reuters, these days), Palmer and Dutton are quite a vintage of proper cunts, but I argue the entire anglophone world is inundated with these authoritarian cocksuckers.

    With sincerity, I hope that in your next election they're shoved into the trash compactor of history along with all the other bitch-made invertebrate right-wing lunatics that are pissing in everyone's coffee across the globe, just as we (hopefully) will do so with the Orange fucker today.

    EDIT: Well, looks like we're fucked.

    FYI, if you see one outlier poll, ignore it. It doesn’t mean anything.

    Trust the aggregate and realize there is a margin of error. If you vote, you will be the margin of error.

    All the vote predictions are inching to a 50 50 split. And pollsters are using AI to simulate real people and using that in their models.

    I'm curious if the split will actually be this close, but everything screams that the models are not right.

    And then the moment you see some smaller pollsters who actually did the legwork, you see deviation from the 50 50 split.

    But still... The call to vote is excellent, cause last time around some states where decided by less than 15K votes.

    I sincerely hope to God that’s true, America deserves better than the oligarchy trash taking over it. The real fight begins after this election, the Supreme Court needs an overhaul and the electoral college needs to go

    Latest Selzer poll, regarded by pollsters as the gold standard, shows Harris +3% over Trump. An earlier assessment gave a scale of what various Trump leads over Harris might mean - if he led her by 11% it would predict a decisive victory for him, with lesser leads meaning not quite as strong a victory, down to a Trump lead of only 3% predicting a strong showing for Harris. Harris leading Trump is literally off that scale and predicts a Harris landslide.

    Tbh, a Trump presidency just presents too much fuckery. I don't even really like Kamala, but I'm more comfortable with what the US looks like after a term with her than with what Trump put forth.

    This is a vote in avoiding a very obvious detriment to our country.

    Are there any early polls that show numbers of previous Trump voters picking Harris this time or previous Clinton/Biden voters going for Trump?
