Let's face it, some media outlets want a horse race

Especially the more corporate media.

They'll always find a poll that they like and harp on it

Yes, I don't like it if i feel it's dishonest also, but we fight that by

GOTV!!!!

And change the channel or pick up a book if it gets to be too much-that's what I do. No reason to spike my blood pressure!

Their job is to fill airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed. A horse race helps to do that.

I hope all efforts are made for Biden to win. Any sense of comfort may be unhelpful.

It was 10.7 a couple days ago, nothing but noise. It's not a close race and 16 million + people have already voted.
