How the hell is this a close race?

  1. Don’t let yourself be fooled that this is about Gaza
    it is not those who say who don’t want to vote for Harris wouldn’t have voted for anyone in the first place

    It is about policy and that is also the reason Harris tries so hard to get Republican’s to endorse her
    What is baffling me most is

    Since it is about policy for them why do they still not consider voting for Harris?
    I mean the hardcore capitalist in person fucking Dick Chaney endorsed her
    You can’t get more hardcore capitalist and anti socialist like him.

  2. The choice is lasagna or a 12 inch broken glass and dog shit sub.

    49.9% will vote for the glass and shit sandwich and say something like “well I’m lactose intolerant so I could never vote for an option with cheese”

    God, I hate it here.

  3. Same reason french people nearly voted in Le Pen. That woman on Putins payroll whos political plan includes Exit EU and Nato immidiately. Stop all sanctions against russia, and denounce Ukraine.

    Just because the people are too stupid to understand that their pension system was in for an immidiate collapse due to being unsustainable. Raise pension age or cut pensions with 30-40% . Lack of understanding nearly destroyed the EU.

  4. It’s because DJT spends $ to show high poll numbers. He’s done this for years. In 2016 he hired a company called Redfinch to rig a poll because he wanted to seem popular *

    Why? Because he doesn’t expect to win. He expects his MAGA followers to riot and fight to help him and his down ballot enablers obtain power. He doesn’t care about his followers. Some will die during this, be jailed. He doesn’t care.

    He cares about obtaining power so he can subvert responsibility and avoid being held accountable for his numerous crimes.

    For years with his court cases, his strategy is deny and delay. His ilk have already started filing lawsuits about mass voter fraud. There’s no mass voter fraud. Never was. People died and have been in prison for no reason other than to help a billionaire con man avoid paying what he owes and avoiding being held accountable for his actions.

    Edit: another source from @IAmPoliticsGirl aka Leigh McGowen — walking through how [the Trump campaign pays for their own polls](https://youtu.be/k1VThfAs1ww?si=bu2M9ozkyDRFonPH) and how it makes it look like he’s ahead – and, most importantly, WHY he does this.

  5. It’s fitting that we would vote for the womanizer to defeat both female presidential candidates that have ever run in a general election.

  6. I think people are tired of the typical government we have had for the last 20 or 30 years and they have latched onto Trump because he’s not typical. There was a reason he even got elected to begin with. I think it was more of a “we don’t want this thing” instead of a “this is our guy” at first at least. Now…. IDEK. Typical humans aren’t known to be very intelligent.

  7. My historically liberal sister is STILL on the fence specifically because of the shit happening in Gaza. I can’t possibly understand how that could be a single issue vote for a mid20s white woman in Iowa, but here we are.

  8. Trump voters only vote for him because he hates the same people they do. The moment he ran on building the wall droves or racists and idiots are like finally someone who says what I’m thinking, I love this guy. That’s about all. If he reversed on abortion? He’d still have support. Same with taxes. But if he all of a sudden reversed course on immigration and his views on minorities? Dudes ratings would plummet so fast.

  9. Naively I’m thinking the “undecided“ aren’t being correctly polled /or/ many people are lying on polls to avoid repercussions

  10. Some people think it’s better for the US to cozy up with Russia, North Korea and whatever dictatorship is in vogue than to remain on friendly terms with the rest of western democratic nations. They want to give up their freedoms and set their country back 200 years so that they can own the ”libs”

  11. Because, and I mean this seriously, Americans are fucking stupid and most have the reading comprehension skills of a third grader.

    And no, I don’t wanna hear the bullshit cuckery “dOn’T aLiEnAtE pEopLe yOu dOn’T aGrEe WiTh”

    I don’t give a shit. He’s a literal fascist. He will tax the fuck out of you with tariffs to fund his billionaire tax breaks that is guaranteed by the general consensus of Nobel winning economists to tank the economy and turbocharge inflation. He wants to use the U.S. military on his own people. He will set back progress on climate change by decades. He will ban abortion nationwide and make drugs have to be smuggled in from Canada. He’s more inclined to listen to Vladimir Putin over his own advisors that he hand selected. His own former senior ranking officials and military leaders are jumping up and down waving their arms yelling not to vote for him.

    If you vote for Trump, you’re a single-digit IQ, bigot enabling, unAmerican bhenchod, and we should be deporting YOU instead of the Haitians who legally immigrated here.

    Also… funny how we’re not hearing about the whole Haitians eating pets thing. If it was so crazy widespread we’d still be hearing about it, right? But it suddenly stopped… almost as if it was MADE THE FUCK UP.

  12. Because the electoral vote is stupid. Should be popular vote so every vote really does count for the presidency

  13. Watch fox news for half a day, you’ll quickly figure it out.

    Americans on the right are being brainwashed by a small segment of news channels that ate actively lying to their populace with impunity, smearing their oponents, amplifying conspiracy theories and falsehoods promoting the right and slamming the left.

    Social media networks then create echo chambers where these falsehoods are amplified and perpetuated.

    It is beginning to happen elsewhere, it just isnt as pervasive in other countries yet. The UK has the daily mail and GB news doing exactly the same thing too, luckily gb news isnt as established yet.

  14. You take a country and you:

    – Systematically underfund and purposely allow its school system to rot and wane

    – Force religion and other non-educational bullshit into those schools

    – You continue your campaign of miseducation, making folks hate each other for the color of their skin or some other attribute they have no control over, rather than question government inaction

    – You allow complete monopolistic takeover of your free media and press and you deregulate what ‘news’ means so they your general populace don’t know when they are hearing real vs. controlled news

    – And then finally, the icing on the cake (and what most people in the states don’t realize) you make the non-news, news stations available to everyone, everywhere, but not the regular news stations.

    This last one is the most insidious to me as it’s the one thing nobody talks about: everyone wants to write of Midwestern and country Republicans for just being so “wrong”… But from their standpoint often, Fox is their ONLY source of news and many of them assume that because it is a ‘news’ station, it is giving them legitimate, unbiased news!

    Go buy a local newspaper? All gone. Cable companies are expensive and a monopoly here so many folks don’t have cable/satellite. What about over the air news? Sure, there are local stations (possibly) but all these are owned by Clearchannel anyway. So there’s streaming right? Have you ever browsed streaming news services in the US? Honestly, Fox is the ONLY streaming ‘news’ station that is guaranteed to be everywhere and free.

    For undereducated Americans, it can genuinely be difficult to find real, legitimate news sources if you weren’t born/raised in the world of the internet.

  15. I have convinced myself that the polls are completely inaccurate either through more people on the right vs the left responding to polls, false self-reporting, and/or intentional or unintentional screw ups somewhere. I have to assume just more Trump supporters bother with these polls in general since they seem to tie their self-identities more with politics(MAGA) than I see people on the left do.
