Is it the conventions or something in the water?

5. I don't watch cable TV news or get info from web pre-supposed websites....

except DU. It was 538's poll phraseology that gave me pause. Today they say Biden is "slightly favored" to win the election. Last time I looked, maybe 4 days ago, it was simply "favored" to win. Needle moved 3 points in 4 days. 73% to 70% and 70% over 30% is "slightly favored?" What's that about?
Look, I could hardly stand up in Nov. 2016, like a punch in the gut, when the NPR woke me to say, via alarm clock, that Trump had won. No comment or acknowledgment of the unbelievability of it. Just, "we're a little surprised", from Inskeep. I just feel like we were all set up. Like at a carnival sideshow, "step right up, which shell has the pea young man?" Got taken for a ride. And maybe I feel like we lost mostly because of the setup and very little to do with voting or vote counting. Can't prove a thing but then neither can people a lot more qualified and in positions of power than I.
