That poll putting Trump ahead of Biden in all the major battleground states sure looks terrifying, but there’s never been an election more clouded by the unknown than this one.
A week after Halloween and the scary monsters are still abroad in the land.
Scary polls!
Scary plans!
Boogedy, boogedy!
It was a great weekend for intellectual doomscrolling, to say nothing of galloping paranoia. First, The New York Times comes out with a poll that shows the president is trailing Fulton County (Ga.) Inmate No. PO1135809 in all the major battleground states.
I was referring to the popular vote, not the sick joke that is the electoral college. He got like 48% of the 170 million-ish votes in 2020.
Why would you care about that? That doesn’t decide the election. Anyway, he lost that by 4.5% (7 million votes). Biden’s percentage (51.3%) was the highest for a challenger to an incumbent president since 1932. Trump got completely stomped.
The outside world cares, as it tells a lot about the US as a nation. Nearly half of you are batshit insane, at minimum.
I care about who the American people voted for, not an illegitimate EC win. And 7m is nothing out of 170m, he should have lost by 80% but he didn’t, hence this country is fucked.
