The fact that this election is so close is deeply depressing to me. But hey most of my close family are MAGA morons so every day is depressing all year round.

For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

If the last two elections and Covid-19 didn't inform us of some seismic issues, then we're willfully blind.
Polls can't even be expected to be accurate anymore. I mean, if you're secretly gonna flip, and you get a call and you're around family or whatever, you probably won't say the name aloud. Political climate is just too wild to say Harris or Trump in a household that absolutely loathes them.
Gonna be weird to see results because they might further off than any other election
I know it's anecdotal and not scientific, but I'm in a "dead heat" state and I've seen more Harris signs in rural areas than I've ever seen for any democratic candidate in 30 years.
It’s all about election monetizing
A close race is good for analytics
I want to believe its all fake news by Dems in order to keep their base from becoming complacent and the actual reality is that polls are showing that they're beating Orange Mussolini like a rented mule.
