In reply to the discussion: 538 this morning: Biden up to a 54% chance of winning [View all]thucythucy
(9,113 posts)10. For what it's worth--
and I know it's worth nothing at all--but I have to say it again:
Fuck the Electoral College and fuck the impact of "swing states."
Without the EC Trump wouldn't have a chance at winning in November.
Without the EC Gore would have been our president in 2001.
Hillary Clinton would have been our president in 2016.
The USSC would be what it was meant to be: a more or less impartial interpreter of the Constitution.
And this nation and the world would be a much better place.
I know this is pissing into the wind, but I'll say it once again: Fuck the Electoral College.
End of rant.

Morris himself has said the further away from the election the more fundamentals affect the prediction.

This is a similar situation that actually happened to the Tory in UK on July 4th.

The predictions are probably going to flip several times on 538 before November.

The better Joe does, the louder the fools call for him to step down. Wonder why?

I have not seen any Trump stories on my feed on FB from those in my friends list

Frankly, I wonder if that has to do with Joe fighting back against the supposed calls to step down.
