Historically it's been a problem with this thread but in the last week it feels like the same 2-3 posters finding reasons to tear their hair out. I would like to see a thread rule against tweets from people who aren't even with a news org, probably.

It's a weird year, with a very weird incumbent leading the GOP. A lot of things that "shouldn't be working," are working, due to circumstance. Just roll with it, is my feeling.

I’ve received 4 texts from 4 different people in 3 days to sign up for a phone bank shift. There a ton of volunteers who are texting and phone banking right now, in battleground states. I was even asked to take over the response to a voter in my native language, 3 other people chimed in before me to take it. The online game is quite massive and they’re trying to reach Spanish speaking voters with specific outreach texting and calling events.

Well, read the other posts on this page, lots of motivated people on his campaign are picking up the slack. It's actually not that much of a problem that Biden is 500 years old and comatose, all he has to do is not be Trump

Sharks Eat Bear posted:So for states that allow ballots to be processed and counted prior to election day, do we know if they actually are indeed doing that processing and counting already? I can't speak for all of those states but here in FL it's possible to track the status of your ballot via the county elections office website. You can see if the ballot has been mailed out, returned, accepted, or counted. I dropped mine off in person and watched the website as my ballot went through all of the steps in about two days. You could get really  and worry that the county office is just putting bullshit up on their website while committing massive electoral fraud but that would require a lot of poll workers and volunteers to be turning a blind eye and not leaking to the press.

If you are reading this thread and find yourself suffering from extreme anxiety then take some concrete steps to alleviate it by signing up to help make sure this election goes the way we want it to go. Honestly I think it wouldn't be a half bad idea to mod-challenge folks who do a zero-content doompost with a mandatory phonebank or they can eat a week probation and sit out the election.

What are the odds that if he wins, we end up with President Harris at some point simply due to his age. I mean, he's 77, the average life expectancy for men in the US is 78.5.

I really hope Biden manages the unlikely feat of pulling all the battlegrounds and landing that over 400 EV victory. Watching the Doomsayers squirm would be really satisfying after four years of hell.

Also, that is average life expectancy, not “getting the best health care in the world” life expectancy. The last three presidents to have died all passed away in their 90s, and the oldest living president, Carter, is in his mid-90s. Here’s hoping we don’t have to deal with Trump for another two decades. Pants Donkey fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Oct 31, 2020 |

Single-point drops in the polls and frivolous news stories were heralded by him as the end of Obama's campaign and impending victory for McCain. Obviously, his fears turned out to be vastly overblown.

Here is a cool take for this thread that seems to eat up bad news like it's sweet ambrosia and shrug off good news like its soggy lettuce. Famously cautious pollster and Thread Hero Nate Silver now has Biden at a higher chance of winning Texas than Trump of winning Florida.

I wasn't a Clinton fan (although I held my nose and voted for her) and even I was 100% certain she'd win. The fact that people are anxious is not the worst thing, even if Biden's got a better chance of winning than Hilldawg and will probably walk away with this thing.
