“If ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ were candy and nuts, oh what a world it would be”

Doesn’t really change anything. Show up to the polls and vote.

Show up to the polls and vote.

Already did, so I DO have time for a hit off this hopium pipe.

Turn that into action! Volunteering is great to do as well

Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you

IDK why this is downvoted, there are a couple interesting perspectives like this one IMO.

Maybe — just maybe — historian Heather Cox Richardson is correct when she writes in her newsletter that “We appear to be in a moment when the reality-based community is challenging the ability of the MAGA Republicans to create their own reality.”

I think that's true, Harris has shown democrats a great balance on how to handle Trumps lies. Sometimes even just dismissing it as crazy.

But no matter what opinion polls show, it's important that as many Americans as possible vote, it's the only way a democracy can work.
Vote for the democracy!! It's a right you don't want to lose.

Well, this article is silly clickbait.

The reality is that Harris currently has 57% odds to win vs. Trump’s 42%. It’s a weighted coin flip, but still a coin flip nonetheless. Trump winning would not be a huge upset or invalidate polling methodology.
