If you need something to smile about ... Freepers are losing their shit over the Rasmussen reports.

They consider all other polls to be fake but usually tout Rasmussen as "telling the truth" except now it shows Biden up 12. A tiny minority is calling it for what it is; bad news and can't be overcome by electoral college. The rests are split between either it is fake or it doesn't matter that Biden could win by 20 pts and Dumpy will still win the electoral college.

Americans want a leader in the WH, not a whiner.

It's time to put the adults back in charge. The kids had their fun and nearly destroyed the country and the world in the process. Now it's time for them to step aside and for things to run smoothly and chaos free again.

You don't want elderly Democratic voters saying to themselves, "Why risk going out to vote? Joe Biden's got it in the bag anyway, especially in my state."

And I think it will get closer, no doubt the bulk of the Rasmussen poll was taken while everybody thought Trump would die from C-19. His base loves a good resurrection story, I'm told.

Still I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALY hope people aren't stupid enough to do that after what happened in 2016 and the never ending dumpster fire they have seen every single day for four years straight.

I would hope that even if a poll shows Biden up 60 they would vote .. you know ... just in case.

No one is going to sit out voting against the worse president in history to save the nation from fascism.

The bigger the margin the better.

but is it worth risking one's life for? That's what we're asking elderly voters to do, and having Joe Biden win with a 5% margin rather than a 4% margin may not seem like a good deal for them.

We don't always vote for the right candidate, but we do vote.
