17. It's not bogus.

You can question the accuracy of polling but that doesn't mean all the polling is purposely manufacturing numbers to push a narrative.

There are plenty of independent pollsters, mostly tied to colleges/university (like Quinnipiac or Emerson) or non-profits (Pew) that have nothing to gain from the horse-race narrative (and would explain many of their 2020 polls showing Biden ahead by a decent margin).

This election will be close. It will likely be decided by less than 100,000 votes across three states.

I'm not sure why so many people refuse to accept this. It seems like so many here believe November is going to be just like 2008 and there are no signs of that happening.

I'm afraid this place is going to be a chaotic mess on election night when the race is too close to call throughout - maybe even into multiple days like in 2020. Especially if Harris loses states Biden won in 2020 (whether Georgia or Arizona).

I think everyone should prepare for a very close election. If it breaks for Harris and she wins by a decent amount, awesome! But prepare for this to be a coin-flip because there's a very good chance that it is.
