Flip that reasoning entirely, my dude. If the feds ran elections fully then Trump wouldn’t have needed to make the call to the GA Sec of State to “find” more votes. He would have just fired people until he got a yes from whatever federal employee could do it
Wouldn’t that be if they were connected at the tail? This is more of a disorganised avian garroting caused by a constant futile bid for meaningful independence.
Trump has never won the popular vote, his 2016 victory was based on highly gerrymandered areas with low populations and a high number of electoral votes. America is being held hostage by wealthy donors.
A poll is just an estimate. Obviously we will never know. But were the election held a couple months ago (vs Biden) Trump would have about an 85% chance of winning according to the best statistical models.

Yeah that’s much worse than I thought. I also remember thinking, “there’s no way that many people are so willfully ignorant and will also vote.” How wrong I was.
And yet Harris is only 2% in the lead.
America is a fucked up country. I pray for y’all.
America is three countries in a trenchcoat.
According to an interesting book I read a couple years ago called american nations, more like 9
Some scientists have posited the number could even be as high as 50.
We’re like the EU but with a fully federal budget and laws, which explains a lot
I used to be in favour of a federal europe until I saw America go to shit with Trump elected in 2016.
Now I’m more ambivalent. The confederation model sounds better…
(Confederation is an alliance where members retain sovriginity) Not talking about the US confederacy

Cool I’ll give it a read.
I think of America more as a swarm of 50 plus angry pigeons tied together at the neck with string.
Like a rat king with wings?

Pigeon king.
Land of confusion.
Clink of coin.

Yet he was leading in popular vote pols for a solid 9 months before Biden dropped out. If Biden had stayed, he would likely have won the popular vote.
We’ll never know, the only “poll” which matters is the election.

60% about
Problem is media reports on 60% as if it is a sure thing, when 40% is a really big chance…

The US already has millions of Christians.
We need far more than prayers.
She’s also been running for less than a month.
Well Biden was 2 points behind if you want to compare
