So there are only 2 days left until the big day that I am sure a lot of Americans have been looking forward to for quite some time and there are a lot of people out there that are very concerned about what the end result will be after the election on Nov 3rd.
I am not one of those people because I honestly believe that Trump is going to win both the electoral college and the popular vote this time around and there are some very real reasons for why I feel that is the case.

For one thing, the media has been playing us all for fools the same way that they did 4 years ago with their clearly biased reporting and even polling results. The manipulation of polls has never really made much sense to me outside of a psychological tactic to either frustrate people out of bothering to vote or to get them so worked up that they will work harder, for free, to get their candidate of choice elected.
I remarked in the past few days about how the pollsters are showing that Biden is winning in nearly every swing-state and just like in 2016 I think that this is a flat out lie. There is also a very large contingent of people that will intentionally answer any questionnaires the opposite way that they actually feel because of the fact that we are tired of the media and want to make their jobs as difficult as possible. There is also the fact that I feel that people are intentionally not polled if they know that this particular area is heavily concentrated with conservatives. The area I live in is probably 95% conservative and there was a recent newspaper article written about how not a single person in our community has ever had any sort of poll directed towards them yet the polls that you do see on TV or on websites claim that the numbers they call are "random" - which is also something I doubt is true at all.

Another thing I see on social media (the likes of which i bother to look at, which isn't much) have groups of liberal friends who are celebrating the fact that so many votes have already been cast and I can't help but shake my head in a bit of sadness when I see this glee. They behave as if all of these votes are somehow Biden votes even though there is zero indication that this is the case. There isn't any information about who the votes are for that has even been released to anyone. How do you know that a majority of them aren't for Trump? Early ballots don't mean a damn thing.
For me, when I look at what is going on this year with the level of enthusiasm is that I see two things: A massive amount of support for Trump and a kind of "meh" attitude about Biden. Hillary, as much as I thought she was a terrible candidate, was able to pull massive numbers at rallies and these days when Biden bothers to have a rally, there are more Trump protesters in attendance than there are Biden supporters in attendance.

In a recent massive embarassment to the Biden/Harris ticket Kamala turned up to a heavily promoted event in Ashville, North Carolina and if there was 20 people there I would be surprised. Once again, the Biden campaign tries to chalk this up to Dems being interested in social distancing but to use Joe's favorite phrase... Come on man! we all know what is really going on here.
In a few days I predict a much larger victory than we saw in 2016 and although there is some talk about how there are going to be massive amounts of crying foul and investigations over some of the mailed in ballots and ballot tampering and what not, I don't think it will be necessary even if Jill Stein decides to demand recounts. I believe that the numbers are going to be so much higher for Trump that there will be no logical reason for any of this to happen.
I am confident in a Trump re-election. Of course I would prefer if it is was a Jo Jorgensen victory but most of the Libertarian circles I run in I see that these people are voting for Trump simply to prevent the Dems from getting their way.
What do you think? Are you worried? I see no reason to be.
Come on man! is hilarious every time he says it.
He's so out of touch.
If Biden had any brain he'd be able bury Trump on covid alone. I think Biden is leading and is about 60:40 to win even factoring in the silent majority who aren't polled or lie.
Neither candidate gives me any hope about the future of America or the world as an outsider. Come on man! is that the best you guys can come up with out of a population of 330 million?
If I was American I'd be spoiling my vote.

Despite the constant media exposure and insistence that this is the most important election EVER (just like they always say) the voter turnout is still pretty poor.
It's my understanding that you are American but living overseas, did you vote? Was it difficult to do so?

I did vote, but I would really love to find out who I voted for since all these stories of fraud are popping up. It wasn't an easy process, you just needed to get prepared well ahead of time in order for your vote to be counted. You didn't have to pay the postage, which was a plus.
The voter turnout comment you just made is not true though... well, that is of course unless there is massive fraud which if it turns out to be true is just terrible for a country that is supposed to be a leader of the free world.

Not worried at all. I’ve seen several presidents come and go and one thing that’s consistent is nothing really changes.

This guy gets it. When you look at it through the exact statement that you just said it is all pretty depressing because you are precisely correct. Same shit, different asshole. every, damn, time.
