    Some one should tell that veteran that the GOP are trying to prevent military personnel stationed overseas from voting.

    Edit: also that trump hates dogs. And dogs hate him. Like trump has never met a dog that didn’t try to bite him. (We can add bald eagles to that list too.)

    I feel like it’s not as close as the news wants us to think.

      Wouldn’t, uh, put my money on that one

        I wouldn’t either, because far too much is at stake, but anyone who takes our polling at face value is a fool.

        I’m not worried about who’s going to win, I’m worried about the ratfuckery that is going to happen to try to swing the result.

            Don’t think for a second that my b-hole couldn’t turn coal into diamond.

      You’re implying that one candidate has a super secret big lead not reflected in polling.

      Who? And why do you think that?

        Yeah, I feel as if Kamala supporters are less likely to answer polls and that was accounted for improperly. Also, the news media profits off a close race.
