    why'd he give them ammo

    Even if you hate trump, at least he stands by what he believes

    Blows my mind that people would rather vote for a wishy washy, fake, establishment politician who changes his policies on a whim if he thinks it will help his campaign. Not to mention saying s*** like 'voters will know my position once I win' when talking about thing like packing the court. Absolutely ridiculous

    not to give any real slack to biden or the trump opposition, but trump def has his own issues in staying on message imo, he's shifted between right populism and neocon "respectable conservatism" constantly since his election. he seems to at any point more be an amalgamation of his aids/advisors to me.

    There's a lot of overlap between those two though

    Biden will literally swap between opposing stances on things

    im not really trying to defend biden or make him look better or anything, i just think trump has own messaging problems. i really think a lot of the stuff which helped him in 2016 be such a darkhorse candidate from blue collar labor support for example he hasnt leaned on as much since the election. a lot of people like Bannon for example who were more populists have been swapped out in his advisement for people like Kushner. i see it a lot in his campaign ads too, going from bannon's direction of appealing to working class blue collar people to typical GOP "my opponent is a marxist" attacks.

    Is the GOP ever going to be punished for the illegal s*** they do?

    They get exposed but nothing ever happens. They are actually committing voter fraud, what will happen to them?

    Yeah that fake ballot box here in CA is insane. They're legit taking from the playbook of fake stuff they accuse Dems of doing

    I'm not sure I would call an NPR poll the 'most important story these past two weeks'..

    We know record numbers of people are already voting by mail. A week ago the figures were something like 5 million early votes already cast compared to around 70k in 2016.

    Sure, the argument that its less than expected is likely true in some places too. But I would hardly say that equates to election day chaos.

    the election day chaos is definitely a stretch but that changes a lot of models and, so far, it doesn’t look like anybody has accounted for that

    the assumption has been that as we get to election day, trump's chances would be worse because more and more people are voting by the day. With that changing and thousands of mail in ballots being denied, your estimations for how much trump's chances drop per day have to change and, to my knowledge, most models aren't taking that into account

    I mean more and more people are voting by the day. Currently its at 9.7 million votes, which is already 7% of 2016's turnout, and naturally a higher return rate from Dems. electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/index.html

    A poll of 1000 people from a month ago showing a slight shift in mentality doesn't really warrant further speculation, especially when the numbers we have already overwhelmingly suggest Trump's chances are far from good.

    Went to vote early here In Atlanta and the wait was 5 hours. It was tense. Was only 3 machines working. People in line were pissed. I was just chilling. Was worth it.
