I know everyone here is gleeful reading trumps

[kacekwl]

low poll numbers and recent failures but let's not be fooled come November. I never thought he would come close to winning the 1st time and still am befuddled how it happened. So many stories about landslide victory for Biden might cause lower voter turnout and we need every vote we can get not just for president but all the way down ballot. These stories may be another way these scumbags get low turnout so vote like we're behind . I trust nothing after 2016.

1. K & R! VOTE!

Everybody!

Take friends!

This is a war, and the only weapon we have is our vote!

[BSdetect]

3. Voting is a weapon that can be destroyed by suppression, polling station closures and more.

Its a shame the USA has fractured federal elections run by state laws that can upset the balance.

Not to mention a stacked SCOTUS deciding when to stop counting results.

[CousinIT]

6. And vote by mail, reliable & safe as it has been in the past, is not safe now...

...Trump has appointed a big donor goon as Postmaster General. He has ZERO qualifications except being a big Trump donor. Trump will be giving him orders as to how to handle those mailed-in ballots. He openly admitted it by accusing Democrats and voters of it - you KNOW he projects. His projections are ALWAYS tell on his own guilt - he's telling people what HE would do, is doing, or plans to do.

[Jamastiene]

12. PLUS, Republicans have ALREADY used theft of absentee ballots as a tactic and go away with it.

They did that in my district in NC. They went around taking people's absentee ballots and saying they would be sure they counted, then did not do what they said. NC did find them guilty of doing it, but did very little to them about it. The state just re-ran the election and the Republicans got to pick all new people to run on top of it. So, they really got rewarded for that. Now, they know they can do it and won't get punished. They will continue to do these things as long as they are not getting punished for it. So, even if we turn out in droves to defeat Trump, watch the Republicans, because they will be cheating. You can take that to the bank. They WILL be cheating in every state.

34. As Stalin is reputed to have said

„Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.“

Republicans are the ultimate Stalinists. Their „anti-kommanism“ is nothing but a phony smokescreen.

[KPN]

38. Exactly.

[Funtatlaguy]

2. We don't want to just win. We want to humiliate him.

[Mike 03]

7. This.

[Jamastiene]

10. I certianly do.

He has it coming, for being such a bigot and throwing this country into chaos, then KEEPING it in chaos.

[robbob]

27. He doesn't just have to be humiliated...

The entire Republican Party has to be brought down with him. Make Lindsay Graham’s prediction come true. Tie every one of those traitorous bastards to tRump. In Kentucky run ads against Mitch pointing out how he flat out refused to bring witnesses in to testify. Hang his failure around all of their necks!

[Funtatlaguy]

41. Yes. A landslide so big that we have a 60 filibuster proof Senate.

[Squidly]

4. I believe this is their strategy

Lull people into thinking we have this in the bag. Combine that with a fear of Covid and they are banking on low voter turn out. Closer numbers makes it easier to cheat. We have to attack this like we are down by 20 points.

[Yeehah]

5. Dukakis was ahead in the polls until September

Bush and the fascist pukes waged a deceitful and scurrilous campaign against him, aided by the gutless corporate media.

[sop]

8. I'll never understand why voters have been so passive about voter suppression efforts.

Americans should be out in the streets in massive numbers, like the recent BLM protests. If police brutality and racism can bring out millions of angry citizens, why not the well-orchestrated effort by Republicans to destroy our democratic electoral process?

[bullwinkle428]

9. THANK YOU. Please do not get COMPLACENT. I know that

Michael Moore is a punching bag for some around here, and the most recent excuse for that was his statement about not taking anything for granted. Let's not be popping champagne corks around here until election night, when things have clearly been declared "done & dusted"!

[Jamastiene]

11. THIS. n/t

[James48]

13. I trust nothing after 2000

God I pray the Orange one is removed.

[keithbvadu2]

14. Hillary was going to win because Trump was the only republican who could not beat her.

Hillary was going to win because Trump was the only republican who could not beat her.

That was the theory anyway.

[overleft]

15. Vote like your life, and your loved ones lives as well,depend on it. They most certainly do!

[ffr]

16. We need a mandate election. Every vote is precious.

Which is to say, we need the GOP wiped off the face of the earth. If the candidate has an R by their name or votes republican or is a conservative, the other progressive candidate needs every vote they can get.

Let's stomp these criminal motherf*ckers out!

[Demsrule86]

23. An win is a mandate these days...but I think it will be big.

[dalton99a]

17. Fuck the polls.

Complacency is deadly

[Demsrule86]

21. Having a reasonable expectation when looking at the conditions and polls is not complacency...and

doom and gloom dampens enthusiasm and actually depresses the vote...good news breeds enthusiasm.

[Demsrule86]

18. More doom and gloom...this is not 2016...he barely won last time and we don't have a divisive

primary this time. He is going to lose.

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. The caronavirus, as terrible as it is, might be the biggest

factor in defeating tRUMPenFuhrer- 4-5 million cases and 200,000 dead with a shaky economy are pretty strong motivators come November IMO.

[Pepsidog]

20. True.

[wiggs]

22. Right. Misogynists and racists don't show up in poll responses the way they do in elections. nt

[ooky]

24. We could be ahead by 90 points and it won't keep me from voting.

I want to be part of this historical repudiation of the most pathetic president of all time, and all of his Republican criminals.

[Cosmocat]

25. I was not the least bit surprised he won four years ago

This country is that fucking stupid now. Told people that when they were mocking him when he came down the escalator.

That said, the goal is not just to win, as others have noted it is to beat him by by such a large margin he does not have enough room to try to contest it AND to have as massive of a turnover of Rs at every level of government as possible.

We need that mandate comes with a complete whipeout - to shut them up for a day at least and to enable us to try to start to piece american democracy back together again.

I am not particularly worried about complacency vs wanting to see and note the big margins for a number of reasons.

1) take as much of the bravado these assholes have out of them as possible.
2) get that momentum that builds, like in a football or basketball game. It is good for our moral and confidence vs the usual scared of our own shadows Ds normally have.
3) Finally, the bigger the margin the more the "middle" will break our way. He will look weaker and more impotent.

[UTUSN]

26. K&R

[iluvtennis]

28. Absolutely spot on @kacekwl. We need to vote blue all down the ballot. nt

[Chili Pepper]

29. I Don't Care if Biden is up by 30 points

He's not going to get much done unless the Dems regain the majority in the Senate. I wish that the talking heads on MSNBC would drive that point home every time they bring up Biden's poll numbers.

[Demsrule86]

33. I think we get the Senate...but kicking Trump out is huge...no more judges for one thing.

[Snackshack]

30. Poll #'s

Mean nothing, poll #'s had HRC at 90%+ to win in what appeared to be a huge landslide.... how did that turn out?

Ignore the polls and vote!

[Bettie]

31. I like having a moment of happiness

before the despair takes over again.

[Demsrule86]

32. Winning increases voter turnout... so that won't happen...so many unhappy here to see great polls

for Joe Biden...there are numerous posts like this...go figure. I will never K&R doom and gloom posts.

[George II]

35. I think we need at least a 10% buffer to overcome shenanigans.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

36. It ain't over till the fat man...

Whines and cries on his walk of shame outta the White House.

[KPN]

37. Yes. Our goal needs to be win by a frigging monster

landslide. Win by the largest landslide in the past century if not history. Eliminate all cause for doubt! Including in every possible Senate race.

Trump didn’t win in 2016. We all know that or should. And look where we’ve been these past 42 months — in bizarro land, then the twilight zone and now hell. Five-plus months and counting. It’s only going to get worse from here. He and the entire GOP are in deep trouble. They are going to get increasingly desperate and are going to double and triple down on what has worked for them in the past — voter suppression, vote rigging, and wagging the dog.

[caraher]

39. I looked at electoral projections from June 2016 last night

The maps offered by pundits and prognosticators 4 years ago at this time were even more overwhelmingly in favor of Clinton than they are for Biden at the moment. I looked because someone on Facebook had posted an analysis giving Biden around 330 electoral votes. I Googled electoral projections published during June 2016 and those ranged from about 350-380 EV for Clinton.

Take nothing for granted!

[raccoon]

40. Same here, I trust nothing after 2016. And 2000. Nt
