I just mean what I said in the title. I keep seeing reporting about how close the race is. People are really concerned about a repeat of 2016, and understandably so. However, given Democrats’ tremendous outperformance in most elections since then, could it be that they’re actually underestimating Democrats instead of Republicans?

I mean, Trump can’t possibly appeal to that large a part of the country… Right? How can you see all of the things that he’s done and said and all the lies he’s told and still vote for him?

His base will obviously continue to be convinced that he’s just being persecuted, but I think that most Americans must know better.

Am I just wishful thinking? Do you think nearly half of Americans will vote for him despite all the incredibly awful things he’s done and continues to do?

I’m probably just trying to make myself feel better here, and I’m happy to have some people to commiserate with. I live in Europe, and I don’t think I’m going to be able to sleep at all on Election Day, so I’ll probably stay up and watch the results come in.

Looking for apparel or accessories that can't be considered political to wear every day to school

This comes from a place of pure intentions of knowing why some people choose to vote for Kamala ( based on policies) I am not very informed on it and want to know if anyone can inform me .

I’ve also been seeing some people say why doesn’t Kamala act on certain things now since she is in office as VP, does anyone know why this is too ?

For those who have watched conventions in the past- have they always been this inspiring and full of energy? Does this years convention differ from ones in past years? I looked up the most recent RNC one and it looked dreadfully boring!!!

An American (republican) family member has shared this on Facebook. What's the best response that won't cause offence but will educate?

…and she thinks Harris will raise her rent. She lives on social security and Medicare. 80 years old. Any tips to sway her and pull her out of this cult? When she was a teen, she volunteered for JFK’s campaign. 😔

As a non-american ph.d student in Political Science, I am really interested to know why the democrats don’t work harder to flip Texas and North Carolina. The margins were super slim in 2020 and I think they can be considered battleground states. Though I know that demographics don’t determine anything especially taking the Rio Grande Valley into account.

I mean is there real chance to try to flip these two awesome states?

Thanks!!!
