    Old trick, don’t fall for it. Go out and vote, never assume victory on your side or trust people from the other side telling you you won.

    They want people to not vote because it is: “in the bag”

      If they say Trump’s winning, it’s a trick to make Democrats think it’s lost and stay home. If they say Trump’s losing, it’s a trick to make Democrats think they’ve won and stay home.

      Maybe sometimes people just want to share opinions about what’s going on. We should vote regardless, but not everything is a trick.

        Honestly you might be right, but at this point I am not sure if what I feel is news induced paranoia or realistic worry. Regardless, go vote indeed.

        We’re talking about American politics, every avenue of which is spun by media looking for eyeballs, capitalists looking for dollars, leaders looking for allies, and egoists looking for power. Sure there are individuals that just want to share their opinion, but there is also no shortage of people who are trying to trick some portion of the electorate.

        If we were talking Fox News then that heuristic is probably pretty close to reality

        Actually Vote Often is correct. Every election your City, County, State & Federal have, you Vote. That way you never get removed from the voter rolls legally.

          Man it would be great if that was more on the radar, to vote at all these other levels

          One reason is that he has demonstrated over the past 8 years that he’s not really better at forecasting than others. But the main reason I say that is he’s shown his ass on social media time and time again. I don’t have specifics so can’t really defend my accusation.

      Polls can be a good indicator, since not everyone will vote. But yes, go vote. If you vote for Harris, get out there on Tuesday, 5 November and show your support! If you vote for Trump, get out there on Wednesday, 6 November and show your support! (Don’t get your days mixed up! The liberal media doesn’t want you to remember that your Trump vote only counts if it’s on Wednesday!)

    Nothing over until January 7th.

    Register to vote. Vote. Use your time and energy to get others to do the same. Hold the line until the election is certified.
