Man, I would hate to see coverage/reaction if Biden was actually trailing in the polls

[Proud liberal 80]

For the past month, I have seen dozens of National and State polls that have shown Biden leading at better than both Clinton’16 and Obama’12 levels, but

The MSM covers it as “the race is tightening” or “Biden isn’t doing well with this demographic” while not pointing out any of the bad things for trump

We Democrats complain that the lead isn’t big enough or we are scared

And the Trumpers cover it as either they don’t believe the polls or somehow trailing is a good thing for Trump or.

In any other election an incumbent president trailing like this would be considered losing

1. Agree, even MSNBC seems to accentuate the negative. It's depressing me greatly.

2. More Scary is What The Repubs and Trumpers

will do if the actual election results show they have lost (and they don't believe it).

4. NYT had a recent article on some veterans joining militias and aligning with

and supporting Trump. The militias want them as battle hardened, their knowledge and many do have weapons. FFS, I really do wonder where the US will be post-election.

3. This has turned into a rather scary country. I never dreamed there were so many

bizarre people/companies in the US that would support someone like Trump. And there are those that love the outright hatred and violence. It's been a total WTF to me. I knew they were around, but not at the length they go now with distortions and lies ... and how MSM is handling it.

5. No kidding. I may turn this crapshow off until election

It's ridiculous -- I realize they want to make a profit but the way they try to entice eyeballs is not okay. I'm going to have to stop watching MSNBC -- with evacuated family here I haven't watched since last Tuesday and it's been remarkably calming.

6. They did the same thing during the primary...but Biden won and will win a general despite them.

7. Thank you!! A voice of sanity..we need more of your attitude and less of this scenario or that!!

9. Biden is winning. The media magnifies every little thing.

8. While I think they are mostly pushing for a horse race narrative

It also helps keep the "would-be" 3rd party voters to vote for Biden if they dislike Trump more. Didn't we say over-confidence of Hillary's win was part of the reason we lost 2016?

[Aepps22]

10. Agreed

The horse race narrative from the media is impacting folks here as well. We don't need to be overconfident but we need to be confident. Ask yourself, who would you rather be right now? Trump or Biden? Biden has a strong lead and the media is vastly underestimating just how motivated we are to get this guy outta here. Voter participation was historically low when Trump won which won't be the case this time. So many things are breaking in our favor. We just need to focus on voter turnout and registration.
