    Mail in voting is where the democrats expect the surge to happen for them. Expectation is republicans will vote more in person on Tuesday. A slim lead in mail voting is hardly a huge gap to overcome.

    Why would anyone bother waiting until election day to vote in states where early voting is allowed? Particularly people in the respective bases? If you've got four weeks, say, to vote, it's illogical to wait until the very last day because you don't know if something could come up on that day which prevents you getting down to the polling station. Just go down early and get it out of the way.

    But how can Trump be blamed for coving.
    When Xi locked down Wuhan to China he still let them fly all over the world spreading the virus
    Cmon man

    I'm not blaming him for Covid, I'm saying he's handled it badly.

    As for future handling, all the polls, national and in every state say the same thing on this - majority of voters think Biden would handle the pandemic response better.

    If there was no pandemic I'd be predicting a Trump landslide.

    There’s more than a few that will vote on the day sans mask just to own the libs.

    No, these are early votes by party affiliation, the actual votes won't be counted until Tuesday

    Have you got the data?

    Arizona is comfortably lean Biden

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/arizona/


    Florida is also lean Biden

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/florida/

    All the reputable polls accounted for that is how it stands.

    Biden also now favorite in Gerogia.

    People are used to voting on the day, enjoy it, sense of occasion, have the day booked off, had it in their minds to do anyway on that day and countless other reasons.

    Affiliation does not mean who voted for who.

    Seniors back Biden - many of those are Republican. Many of those are in Florida.

    It's the western media propaganda - they can't think for themselves. Which is ironic given what they think of Trump and his supporters.

    Most people's opinions are based around what makes them feel superior to others. The msm in America has set it up nicely for them to pretend they're more intelligent and informed than Trump supporters, there are millions and millions of people there they can pretend they are so much smarter than. So that's what you get.

    "derrr I saw on tv some guy with a gun who was saying Trump was good durrr".

    Now I don't think Trump is the best president, but he's better than the democratic party which has been shown to be crooked.

    Focus surely must go to Biden's policies given the likelihood he'll win.

    Will he transform America and end the massive income inequality, grotesque materialism and individualism?

    Will he tackle America's weird relationship with religion?

    Definitely the kind of red flag individual you hope is monitored before they conduct a mass shooting etc.

    There is a tread on twitter I am trying to find again with screenshots from the Facebook group. Scary stuff. And Donald Jnr posted a video beforehand telling them to go after the bus and "to have fun" because they thought Harris was on it!

    Edit- twitter thread here.

    I agree - if Trump had no crises come along in the last four years which required him to be competent and presidential, he probably would have stood a much better chance of reelection.

    Biden's political history is of one of the most Wall St. friendly politicians in the Senate in past decades.

    Whatever he will do, he won't challenge that. He'll revert things on that score.

    Handling a crisis is part of the presidential package.

    Trump failed because he is hopelessly incompetent.

    I am saying he will get reelected despite mishandling the covid crisis.

    Feels like other politicians kind of did well out of it too.
    Initially anyway. He seemed to just struggle with it from the start. Once it twigged the finances might effect his reelection he lost the plot. He could make some small sacrifices to look the bigger man and save America from covid. Especially with them being able to throw so much money at the tanks and stuff. He should have fought covid and kept his people safe.

    That being the case, then why is Trump telling us that a vote for Biden is a vote for radical Socialism?

    I suspect so and this will lead to the election of some other nut job in 4 or 8 years.

    You dismiss the scientists, the environmentalists, the doctors and the educators.
    You kind of do.
