Did you read the article that it actually is likely that in Pennsylvania that Teump will be winning at potentially by a substantial amount. In the on coming days it would swing back. So it the most critical state this is exactly what is likely to happen.
With a 16 point lead evaporating it’s easy to create the narrative of a stolen state with Mail in ballots. It’s entirely predictable though.
There are a number of counties that are not going to start counting mail in ballots until Friday or the following Monday, so there would be more than a few days in between.
"THEYRE BOTH TERRIBLE...buuut gun to my head i'd vote for Trump."
Biden is slightly better for the world than Trump, but not much. He's a product of the system, and still a piece of #### that will do everything in his power to pack the court. He's no saint, the system is broken. If he wins, people shouldn't celebrate, but mourn the loss of the Republic. This was the best the Democrats could do after 4 years of Trump. It's embarrassing.
^^re: the Texas bus thing
I'm not sure how these idiots think that this helps Trump. It'll drive more independents and undecideds away from Trump than to him, and probably galvanize Democratic turnout in Texas far more than the rallies that got cancelled would have.
I suppose the cynical argument is that anything that crosses the line into physical violence by Trump supporters just amps up the likelihood of other Trump supporters being spurred to act out both now and after election day.

Biden is slightly better than Trump? Trump is the stupidest, most corrupt person to ever occupy the White House.
Biden isn’t the ideal candidate but he’s light years ahead of Trump.

The fact the GOP and Trump had four years to work this out and didn't is truly embarrassing!
The Dems has four years to find a suitable candidate to beat Trump, someone that’s charismatic and will energize the base, but they failed miserably. People don’t want to vote for Biden, they just don’t want to vote for Trump. That’s not good for the party.

Go back to calgarysun.com and take both sides-many sides Girlysports with you.
Energize the base... Have you even seen the amount of early voting?

I'm mean come on guys if the Dems ran a candidate that people liked, could get behind, and energized the voting base the early votes would be like 90 million and at least 2/3 of the vote total from 2016!

You must be exhausted. How long did it take you to speak personally with over 90 million early voters in 50 different states?
He's also clearly wrong in suggesting that this is just about voting against Trump and Biden doesn't deserve any credit. The votes Biden will get are, in large part, votes expressly for Biden. Biden is an avatar of normalcy and stability and nothing about him seems crazy or extreme, He's more or less completely unoffensive, unless you're on the extreme wing of one party or another. The worst thing that Trump could come up with as a moniker for him was "Sleepy Joe". His big scandal to lob in Biden's direction is that his son is corrupt. Trump and company have repeatedly attempted to characterize him as someone beholden to the far left, which hasn't worked. And all Biden has had to say was, "Come on. You know me." Yeah, they absolutely do.
And you can debate whether he's honest, or if you need to grade on a "politician" curve to get there, but he comes across as direct and believable in a way that many other politicians, including most of the people in the democratic primaries not named Sanders or Yang, did not. Those people came across as rehearsed, fake politicians. This guy is who he seems to be. Hell, he doesn't even seem like he's capable of putting on a fake politician face - I mean, just look at the gaffes he makes. For better or worse, there's no polish on him.
And current events have hidden his weaknesses as a candidate at the same time as they've played into his strengths. In light of COVID, the fact that he's not maintaining a normal presidential campaign schedule doesn't make him look old and frail to the extent it would have in other years. COVID also makes him an inspired choice in that he doesn't have to shout over a disaster to introduce himself to the nation or explain what he stands for. He can say, "I'll fight for your health care, I did it before", and whether or not you like the way he and Obama dealt with health care policy or support the ACA, at least you have good reason to believe him.
And crucially, unlike last time when you had a candidate in Clinton who everyone viewed as shady and corrupt lecturing and preaching at the country about how Trump was a really bad person you guys, just deplorable, this time you have this guy.

I mean, whatever you think about him, he actually is the guy in those videos. He doesn't need to preach overmuch about being decent to people, because he actually comes across like a good, decent person. Lindsey Graham was actually honest for once in his life when he called him the nicest person in politics:
You can wish he was more progressive policy wise, or you can be concerned about him catering to the identitarian wing of the policy, or a thousand other things depending on your personal political ideology and the issues that matter to you. But he's turned out to be absolutely the right nominee for the Democrats in this cycle among the people who were on offer, and he's run his campaign more or less perfectly.

Every month like clock work we go over the "both sides, many sides" argument.
It's actually getting hilarious now.
There is no ####ing both sides. Trump deserves to rot in a jail and die.
Trump deserves to rot in jail just as much as Obama, Clinton and Biden do... why did they destroy Libya again? They destroyed a country... and got away with it. Following the Clean Break memo, just as Bush and the neo-cons did. But we don’t want to talk about that. We can all pretend Biden is a “good man”, for the sake of the Republic, right?
