Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Vote because polls are untrustworthy. Vote to ensure your voter status gives you clout should you need a politician's assistance. Vote because you don't want a deadlocked Congress wasting 2-4 years of your life. Vote to save democracy. Vote!
make it 10
points or swing states?
Yes.
and
Be the change you want to see and get involved! Here's one site that shows volunteer opportunities around you
"The margin of error for each survey was plus or minus 4.8 percentage points in Michigan, plus or minus 4.3 percentage points in Wisconsin and plus or minus 4.2 percentage points in Pennsylvania."
So either she's really up 4 points, up ~8 points, or it's neck and neck. VOTE!
Fuck the polls, VOTE. They'll go all out on trying to manipulate the election, prevent people from voting, and throwing out votes where they can, unfortunately an overwhelming majority is needed to blow these people out of the water.
I'm still concerned about Trump winning
You should be, this is still within the margin of error.
Good. Vote! And vote hard!
This is like the 18th post about this topic. Trump is going to win. Vote accordingly.
As everyone else is rightly saying, don't get complacent.
But how awesome would it be if we had a landslide victory, to include keeping the senate and taking back the house?
1980 in reverse if people go to the polls like the past 3 elections. The millennials will be the ones who decide this.
#vote!
Don't get excited people, this shit is STILL WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR
The margin of error for each survey was plus or minus 4.8 percentage points in Michigan, plus or minus 4.3 percentage points in Wisconsin and plus or minus 4.2 percentage points in Pennsylvania. [Emphasis mine]
How the fuck is it still this close??? I'm glad to see we're on the upswing, but goddamn....
would winning these 3 give harris the win?
Today, I have Harris at 276 electoral votes, Trump at 251, with 11 states tied. So, Yes.
thank you!
im really glad georgia isnt in this list. it feels like its going to fall to voting-process related nonsense and AZ seems like a toss up.
Correct. Both are toss-up, in the tied category. Georgia is likely to remain that way since it, like Florida, is known for close elections. Arizona has not been through enough polls, but it may lean Democrat by the end of next week.
angrily upvotes from Georgia
Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
It's tough to say they would give her the win, but at the same time she literally can't win without them, so it's a good sign!
What I keep hearing is Pennsylvania is monumental. You can win without it, but it's extremely difficult. You basically have to run the table with the remaining purple states.
There is going to be an unreasonable level of voter suppression. We need a landslide.
