1. I hate seeing shit like this 😡🤬

All it will do is cause people not to vote.

4. thats always the fear but not this time

[PatSeg]

8. I agree

This time people are very focused and no one is forgetting 2016. Hopefully, voters will stay actively engaged in mid-term elections as well. There is so much work to do, we can't afford to become disengaged.

10. people i know in a safe blue state will crawl on their hands and knees to vote trump/gop OUT

[PatSeg]

12. This is quite unlike any election

anyone of us has ever seen. This really is the election of a lifetime. For all the times when politicians have said hyperbolic things like that, this time it is true. This could be the last free election in this country, if people don't take it seriously and many people realize that.

13. The critical importance is historic in same way a pandemic is historic, this is THE moment

in our history that taking the wrong direction ends our country as we know it as the Supreme court could soon be 7-2 conservative and the whole laundry list of rulings the rightwing is waiting on

16. If we had a better educated electorate,

I think more people would be aware of how consequential this moment is. Americans tend to live in a bubble and all the horrors that happen to people in other countries will never happen here. They take our democracy and our institutions for granted, nothing could possibly undermine them. Meanwhile, even as they ARE being undermined, many don't see it.

A few years ago, I read Erik Larson's book, "In the Garden of Beasts" and for the first time, I actually could see how that country devolved into fascism and I could look around me and see the same players in our own country today. A long time ago, I had read a book by Taylor Caldwell that also captured 1930s Germany very well. I can't remember a lot about the book, but I recall the struggle of sane, reasonable people in the midst of unthinkable horrors. I often feel that is where we are today.

By the way, Tom Hanks bought the movie rights to "In the Garden of Beasts" and it was rumored he would play the American ambassador. So far, it is still in "preproduction" unfortunately.

14. Are you kidding?

People are going to vote this is not the same bullshit from 2016 this is a totally different ballgame now

[Squinch]

2. This is great to see but all those swing states are still too close to overcome the cheating factor.

We need bigger, cheat-proof, margins.

But this says we are on the right path.

[Vogon_Glory]

5. Agreed

The question is not if Donnie and the Republicans might cheat, but that they WILL cheat.

18. If Joe can pull off a win in all three branches

I would love to see investigations into vote rigging and vote suppression. The only way to restore democracy in the USA is to start throwing people in jail for interfering in elections.

3. That looks a lot like the Obama 2008 map. n/t

6. imagine if Texas and Georgia go blue......

[honest.abe]

7. Their rule for defining a toss up is weird.

Seems like anything less than a 10 point avg lead is considered a toss up which is absurd. I think other sites use 5 points as the cutoff.

I think they are doing to make it look not so terrible for Trump.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Yeah, anything outside of MOE should be considered "lean" at least...nt

[mucifer]

9. Biden is FINALLY running social security ads That could be huge in

Florida and Arizona

[gristy]

11. Polling in many states is closer than at this time than in 2016

Scroll down to the 2nd table "RCP ELECTORAL SPREAD"

But I think I've read that polling methodology across the industry has been updated to attempt to correct the failures in 2016

[beachbumbob]

15. 2016 was not a polling failure as the polls all indicated the closeness of the election

and trump won NO state that was outside the margin of error of the states he needed to be elected. Why the impact of less of 100,000 votes cast in 3 states WAS the difference
