and get them out to vote.

We also need to get people who didn’t vote in 2016 to the polls.

This is the key, more people stayed home that voted for Obama than switched their vote....I hope Biden doesn’t make the mistake of trying to reach “independent undecided voters”....instead go after Democratic voters who stayed home in 2016

... by sticking his thumb up his big ol fat ass for 2 months while a plague spreads throughout the country and kills 10s of thousands of people and he's NOT the blame for this?!

America is too polarized. He could be up by 40 points and people would still be posting “Why is it only a 40 point lead?!?”

Polarization is an educated way of saying near half the country is still racist and bigoted.

...Trump can steal it. All you have to do is oppose VBM voting, then order a curfew and stay at home order in African American neighborhoods in a few states on Election Day, and Trump can steal the election.

We've seen this shit before.

A certain percentage of people are embarrassed to tell pollsters they support the odious clown candidate, but once the curtain closes behind them, they inevitably pull the lever for him anyway, and we're left wondering why the race has suddenly become a nail biter.

Until a majority start affirming that they will vote for Biden, this race is a toss-up. Anyone claiming to be "undecided" at this point is a Trump voter, pure and simple.

Blue CA, NY, & IL are 22% of the population.
PINO got creamed in those 3 states in '16.
How can the national split be narrower than the battleground states when 3 large states would be close to 60:40?
The swing states were all that got the loser a victory 4 years ago.
Now, his deficit is greater there than in the general population? Knowing he won't cover those 3 states, is neck & neck in FL & TX, and won't likely win any state in New England, there's something odd about these results.
