It makes me wary of any optimism. What if I'm one of those idiots thinking the shadows in the cave are real?

Trump's sitting neck & neck with Biden in the polls and yet has historically out-performed the polls on Election Day (albeit only twice). He's shit for coattails, but always benefits personally from his cult. We're just sitting around expecting Biden's numbers to get better or for the fence sitters to wake up and start caring about the "lesser of two evils" principle (not that Biden on substance is in any way "evil" ).

Make me think about getting a job in a purple state temporarily and working on a campaign.

Yep. There are some DUers who consistently make predictions about Trump that are based on their wishes, not reality onenote Jun 2024 #15
