Democrats need to start taking credit with no shame like Trump

I'm tired of our party passing great bills that help out out people in their lives and we're not getting credit for it. Trump is out here taking credit for shit he didn't even have anything to do with and people believe it, like the VA choice act.

I was looking at Biden's Social Security plan. He plans to boost the paychecks to SS recipients by quite a bit. If he does, then the SSA should mail out a letter to every SS recipient letting them know President Joe Biden has approved this additional money. We need to start boasting about the good stuff we do for people in this country. If Biden has to send letters out, then so be it. The population doesn't know a lot of the great things they enjoy is because of Democratic policies.

The Biden campaign feels better about Georgia than even NC!!

According to Katy Tur on MSNBC. The 2 Senate contests are also bringing out people to the polls. She said the Biden folks feel really good about Georgia...even thinking they may do better there than even in North Carolina, which is a jaw dropper! I guess that explains why Harris is going back.

If we can get GA and NC, it won't matter much about FL or PA. We can sleep easy election night.

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders BOTH want to be in Biden's cabinet

I just got an alert on my phone from Politico that Warren is going to put her name in for Treasury Secretary. Bernie wants to be Labor Secretary.

I have no issues with either one of them being in the cabinet, but I can't stomach 2 special election Senate races in 2021 in questionable states where popular GOP governors could run for their seats. This could be a nightmare.

And therein lies your popular vote total for Joe Biden. I predict Joe Biden will win 56% of the nationwide popular vote.

I'm not watching the debate tonight

I actually physically can't stand looking or hearing that orange blob. I can't do it. I love Joe and I wish him all the best, but I'm probably gonna go out and do some late night shopping at Wal-Mart or Meijer. I'll hear all about out on here and the TV shows afterwards. I feel sorry for Joe having to debate that lying sack of s***. He shouldn't even be on the same stage with him.

Former PA Gov. Eddie Rendell predicts a significant Biden win in PA

That actually says a lot gives me a peace of mind over PA. Rendell speaks the truth and doesn't sugarcoat for the party. He knows PA in and out. He predicted that Hillary would have a tough time winning there and she did lose it.

At what point do polls become predictive due to early voting?

Never in our history will this many people will have cast ballots before election day. I have never seen this mentioned by anyone, but at which point do the polls become "entry polls" and basically tell us the victor before Nov. 3rd due to people already voting? Pollsters can then use their science to determine likely voters close to 100% as people would've already cast ballots. Maybe a week before the election?

I just don't understand how polling will be off like in 2016 with so many people already casting ballots and they can tell pollsters who they voted already. So basically there's no question mark or variability. The margin of error could be very low.

Wow, I just witnessed my local County Clerk going off in the Post Office!

I just came from making a stop at my local post office in my county, which is a suburb of Lexington, KY. Our local county clerk, a Democrat, just went off inside the post office over ballots! He came in to pick up the ballots. It looks like the lady brought out about 30-50 ballots. He then said "is that all?" And the lady told him that the ballots have to be sent to Lexington and then re-routed back to my city. He want ballistic!

The manager had to come down and the clerk said he didn't know why he paid for a PO box when the ballots have to be sent out to another city and sent back. He said it was very asinine! He said if the ballots are in the post office in my town, they should stay there and put in the PO box. The manager said he didn't disagree with him, but he'd need to call the "command center" and complain. He said he would do so. He also complained about certified mail not getting to places on time. The county clerk then apologized to everyone inside for raising his voice, but everyone said it was okay and they agree with him.

We are not a swing state, but the USPS is fucking crap now. Folks, try not to mail your ballots if you can. If they're messing up the ballots in a small town in a red state, no telling what they're doing elsewhere.
