"SNIP.....

David Wasserman: “A few days out, the picture of this race is pretty clear.”

1. Biden’s lead (52% to 43%) is larger and more stable than Clinton’s in 2016.
2. Far fewer undecided or third party voters than 2016.
3. District-level polls (which showed big problems for Clinton in 2016) back up national and state polls.

The less we have to press the moderate ones to get stuff done. So VOTE VOTE VOTE. It ain't over until they're all sworn in and can get down to work.

This could very well be a “come to Jesus” moment for those up in 2022.

I won't sigh a relief until BIDEN is President, and Trump is in Prison.

We need to go to our voting places like that Butterfly is in Full Effect! All 50 states and every office in contention, we must keep our Boot on the Neck of the Beast until it's DEAD!

How many Democratic Party voters thought that before the 2016 election, and didn't bother to vote?

That's called complacency!

None of that this time, stay at the ramparts, the battle is not yet won!

If you read or hear stories about how Biden has it in the bag this time, place your fingers in your ears and sing 'LaLaLaLa_Can't-hear-you!' real loud.

Trump's NOT done until he comes out of the oven and you can see and smell the crackling.
(Or gives his capitulation speech, to be more precise.)

And feel free to challenge the motivation behind all the 'Biden has it in the bag!' stories doing the rounds.
There is only one poll that counts.
