  - no but turnout in a presidential year has always been the unknown variable -- nm - mr mooch Oct 28, 18:48 1
    - Yup, Biden should have wiped the floor with Trump in 2020 if it had followed the 2018 trend. -- nm* - ty97 Oct 28, 18:55
- While my inner sense of optimism/pessimism has ebbed and flowed over the past month (never strongly either way though), my conscious feeling is still: - ty97 Oct 28, 18:35 11
  - I respect that, and I remember that you were actually more optimistic than me in 2022. That was the week I gave up on polling because it was so wrong. - David Oct 28, 18:37 6
    - I'm curious to see the Selzer poll that should come out this weekend (I think we have to wait until the weekend, but not sure) - ty97 Oct 28, 18:48 5

big late stage Kane energy -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 28, 17:48 4
- FWIW, I think this is well-articulated, and most of the points are sound. But I also agree that since it would have been Kamala, it's cowardly. -- nm - David Oct 28, 18:00 3
  - I get it, but it also sort of loses the thread of why all this is happening. One side has actively tried to undermine the trust in the press and - pmb Oct 28, 18:19 1
