"SNIP.....

Harry Enten: “It’s important to put individual polls into context, and that context continues to show Biden’s in one of the best positions for any challenger since scientific polling began in the 1930s.”

“There were more than 40 national public polls taken at least partially in the month of May that asked about the Biden-Trump matchup. Biden led in every single one of them. He’s the first challenger to be ahead of the incumbent in every May poll since Jimmy Carter did so in 1976. Carter, of course, won the 1976 election. Biden’s the only challenger to have the advantage in every May poll over an elected incumbent in the polling era.”

“Biden remains the lone challenger to be up in the average of polls in every single month of the election year. His average lead in a monthly average of polls has never dipped below 4 points and has usually been above it.”

No matter if he has a 25% lead, they will cheat. We must defeat utterly and completely and make SURE that the electoral college is ours as well. This is wayyy beyond simple politics. This is our lives and the lives of our children, and their children. I really don't think there has ever been a more important vote than this one. Always remember that Hillary WON with almost 3 million votes.

And we should also focus locally and get the bad actors out of state and local government, and take the Senate with such a high percentage that there will be none of this 50-49% BS. It's time to help President Biden turn things around. He has a massive job ahead of him and needs our support to do what must be done.

These are hard days. To come out of a pandemic that has gutted so many either through their health or their finances - or both, and then to have to see ANOTHER African American Human Being being murdered in front of our eyes - people are at the end of their ropes.

We want peace, a normal life. We want to be able to go into a Subway and get a sandwich without seeing someone standing there with a Bazooka. We want to not have to see people killed with guns, bow & arrows (WTF), or by police kneeling on a black man's neck until he is dead. It's not allot to ask - it is America.

THESE are the people that write the election laws for your state - and the RepubliCONS have been very busy doing just that to try to maintain control.

THERE IS NO REPUBLICON that deserves to remain in office!

Yeah, harsh, isn't that? So, let ANY of them explain how they would answer who to serve: YOU or "the party" - YOU or "big business" - YOU or "corporations" - YOU or "deniers of human rights" - YOU or "the 1%"

If they can give you an answer with which you can find peace - that person is probably a DEMOCRAT!!!!
