Why is it close 😭
wyd over there??
edit: it’s too close, and I was wrong. This country is fucked, even if Harris manages to eek out a fractional win. WTF America
It’s “close” because polls aren’t votes.
Polls are not an accurate measurement of reality, as they are a significant minority of registered people answering the phone and responding to a questionnaire.
Ask how many proclaimed demographics moved from one party to the other.
Ask how many are voting for the first time.
Ask which methods of voter suppression are in effect before and during voting.
Ask how many are apathetic to research.
Ask which gender is more likely to vote.
Ask which economic group is more likely to vote.
Ask why we haven’t moved from the electrical college.
Ask why we haven’t moved from First Past the Post voting.
All of those and so many more reasons obfuscate the reality. It’s not close, but “reporting” on it being close garners views, therefore ad revenue.
This shit ain’t close. But there are still too many who are voting for Fuckface 45. And still even more who aren’t voting but should (for many different reasons including suppression).
Just to be clear, it’s the media’s fault I’ve had back-to-back panic attacks about whether or not I’ll have rights in 3mo? Sick…
