    I got a fundraising text the other day asking for help in North Carolina, suggesting Biden could flip it.

    In my lifetime, NC has gone blue twice: Carter in 1976 and Obama in 2008. That’s it. Not even in 2012.

    If that’s not false hope, I don’t know what is.

    Current polling says Trump +2 to +3, as high as +7.

    I told them to forget NC, he doesn’t need it, he needs PA, MI, WI.

    PA, MI - waffling between Trump +2-3 and Biden +2-3 which is good to see, it might be switching to full Biden support now.

    WI - I don’t even know anymore. Tied? Trump+1? Trump+8? All recent polling.

      I have a bad feeling Biden won’t win PA. Friends and family there and anecdotal but it’s not looking good according to them.

        If you want some counter anecdotal evidence, I live in PA, and in 2016/2020 there were Trump signs everywhere. I never really see them anymore.

            That’s about as Trumpy of an area as it gets. I’m in Pittsburgh which is very blue, and still there were large amounts of Trump supporting pockets in the past compared to now.

        I feel better now, it had gone from solid Biden, to flipping back and forth, to solid Trump, now it’s flipping back and forth again.

        Looking like Biden has the momentum, but he really needs to start acting like the campaign has started and not after the DNC in August.

        “A bad feeling”, but you say you hate Biden and constantly post negative articles about him while never saying shit about Trump? I see.

            Also, that’s very appropriate - Peter griffin is well known as an intellectual luminary.

            Republicans fall in line, while Democrats want their Presidential candidates make them fall in love

            That’s fine, you can dislike Biden all you want. Spending tons of effort to discourage people from voting for Biden has the same effect as supporting Trump, though, which is the entire point. So, great job helping Trump out.

                Do you have any original thoughts or can you only communicate with stupid, easily discarded memes that someone else made?

                Third parties don’t work in the US first past the post system. To support that, agitate for comprehensive, nationwide election reform. Otherwise, you’re getting the candidate you theorretically dislike more elected and are an idiot.

                Anyway, just weird how I never hear anything from the ‘OMG I’m so leftist crowd’ about being concerned about Trump winning, and the Republican’s plans for the country. Never. Nothing. Just “JOR BIDEN SO BAD OHMERGERD” over and over. If you don’t comprehend you’re helping Trump, you are either naive, very stupid, or disingenuous.
