Knock it off with the "concern troll" crap.

The polls are off a few points (at least). Joe still has a very good shot and can still win this thing but it is gonna be close.

Folks have a right to be concerned and it isn’t OK to call them trolls for being concerned.

However the polls were tight in the south, so people are overreacting to races that were are 50/50. It sucks that the Confederacy is still alive but there is no point in being defeatist this early.

This is not the evening I anticipated and 2016 was f-ing rough.

Nothing is surprising except in a good way (Ohio and Texas) but it’s still closer percentage wise than I expected. I’m stressed. Because I’m human.
