I watched Harris and Trump's last rallies and I can't figure out who used the word 'fight' more. Terrible.

For swing state voters, it's as if your family is deciding on dinner and the winner will be either dog poop or broccoli. The only sane choice is to vote for broccoli. Skipping the vote or voting for Brussel's sprouts are insane actions.

I voted on the stuff that matters here.

If either of them win, the debt will balloon, they'll try to do everything they claimed which requires Congressional action in reality, and 2028 will be the most important election of our lives.

According to both of those parties and every cable news channel (who certainly don't have anything in it for them by saying so!). Bet on it.

Nope.

If you got off your ass and took political action, you get my thanks. It's ok to hate Trump. I'm not going to hate everyone who votes for him.

Pity? Sure.

But if you voted, you deserve more credit than people who don't vote and then complain.

(if you voted 3rd party, or left the presidency blank, that's the same as voting for Trump, so the above still applies).

A tie there seems to bode ill though... although at this point I'm just bwing pessimistic as it doesn't actually matter.

Your takeaway is correct, this is gonna suck.

Huh? 6 votes will predict how the entire country votes? Please tell me this is a bad attempt at humor. That whole "first to vote" nonsense in that tiny area is a political gag.

Did you not read the rest of my post? I was just being pessimistic and the results of a tiny hamlet in NH don't actually matter? You know, the thing I wrote in the next sentence?

I'm just going to take anything that can be interpreted negatively as the end of the world until this is over basically.

Silvers final model 50.0015 Kamala, 49.9085 Trump.
538 - 50/49 Kamala

So the best prediction based on measurable data is we don’t know.

Well then just remind yourself that even if Harris wins, that Trump will likely steal it anyway.

Omg Buttsy comes through. Just say you love Trump. Any vote for a 3rd party candidate is a vote for Trump. They have been saying this for a while for Republicans this not the election for voting 3rd party you only have 1 choice.

This is true in a swing state. Not really true in most states in the union.

She just called them the same/same.

One person using the campaign trail to call the country wants to run a garbage can. Disses his campaign manager. Gives top to his mic. This has just been the last few days.

The other person while just being normal and talking about important things. Not engaging in the bull####.

But yeah they are the same.

At this point, you just have to laugh at any voter trying to both sides these candidates. Especially after everything we've seen and heard over this campaign.

One is a dumb, despicable, racist, sexist, narcissistic sack of s*** who is trying to destroy American democracy. The other one is a highly qualified, intelligent, caring human being who is trying to bring the country together and save democracy.

These are NOT the same, FFS.

I think voting 3rd party or not voting should be respected, not mocked. People should always vote in line with with their own morals or beliefs, even if a single issue where arguably too much weight is going toward the one issue is guiding that vote.

But yeah, at this point “they’re both terrible” while pointing to the most surface level, insignificant measurements to justify that belief just makes someone look lazy and stupid.

He's going to put Herschel Walker in charge of missile defense. Do you know who that guy is?
