    I don’t know why this is being downvoted. Harris’ campaign is basically saying what 538’s and Nate Silver’s new model are saying - it’s a draw. The numbers are all within the margin of error.

    He’s saying that people need to show up volunteer if they don’t want Trump in office. You can’t sit this out.

    Edit: I see the user name now. I get the downvotes.

      Yeah, I get downvotes from people who don’t bother to actually read the article. Which is too bad, because I think education is the key here. People need to know what’s going on. And we can’t rely too much on polls because of the margin of error.

      I agree with you, people need to get out there, volunteer and put the work in for whatever candidate they want to win.

      I’ve already voted, but many people haven’t. People need to get the move on out there, support their candidate, and more importantly, vote!

        You get downvoted because you’re a pro trumper false flagging as a “third party” voter.

        You’re spamming all over the place too.

        You get heavily downvoted because people despise trump, who you’re clearly looking to elect.

        That’s pretty rich coming from someone who repeatedly refuses to be educated on the futility, danger, and self-sabotage of voting third party in this critical election. I know you don’t believe this is how reality works, but you voted third party, so you voted for Trump.

          Lots of people are voting third party. So does that mean they ALL refuse to be educated on the futility, danger, and self-sabotage of voting third party.

          Or could it be the fact that some people just disagree with you, friend? Thanks! :)

              Well the democrats are scared and angry about it. Lemmy is scared and angry about. And the Democratic Party actually made and released and ad targeting Jill Stein specifically. Why would they do that if there weren’t many people voting third party?

            Yes. That’s exactly what it means. Voting third party, like we’ve told you before, is not the way to have your voice heard. It’s how you ensure Trump gets back in office.

            Or could it be the fact that some people just disagree with you

            There’s a big difference between disagreeing (I disagree with Biden and Harris on a ton of different issues), and being willfully delusional about how our election system works (not how you want it to work, but how it actually works). You are being delusional and will help get Trump reelected. I’m swallowing my pride and voting for Harris, who is the only person with a chance of beating Trump.
