America is a political left country population wise

But unfortunately the political right minority will always either be in power or have enough legislative/electoral college votes to make things difficult to do anything. If you just take the American adult population, I say that Americans are 60/40 left/right. But of the 60 percent a lot aren't registered, live in populated blue states (which minimizes our senate power), or live in pockets in red/purple states (leads to gerrymandering in the House and weakening our electoral vote for POTUS)...While the 40 percent are spread across a dozen red states which maximizes there senate power and gives them an electoral college advantage.

Guess what these pro Trump polls are showing me?

That Biden is still leading, no matter how much they try they can’t even manipulate the data enough to show him in the lead....so instead we get that “trump has closed the gap” from the MSM and his followers and hand wringing from our side....but in the end Biden is still leading

The polls are tightening

Because the media says so even though there haven’t really been polls released sense the conventions

Trump knows that Americans are stupid

And he is right. For him to be able to turn the violence going on across America as a winning issue for him proves it. And the fact that Biden riots is trending on twitter.

1 person is dead after a shooting during protests in downtown Portland

After reading this article, I just don’t understand how this stuff supposedly makes Biden look bad and helps Trump (you know, the incumbent). Yes it’s a wash between us and his supporters, but to the few undecided or whatever, how do they see this and say “oh no we have to re-elect Trump“

Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban supports planned march by players

Wow, wouldn’t expect that. Nick Saban seems like a way better coach than Lou holtz, Tommy tubbervillie, Dabo Swinney, Mike Gundy and a lot of other college football coaches who use young black men

The Trump's know that they are done if Donald loses

And I don’t mean done regarding going to jail. I mean done as far as their business empire and making money. The Trump brand has already taken a hit and the only thing keeping it afloat is Trump’s hold on power. That’s the only way they make their money now. But once he is out of office especially after a defeat they have nothing else. Most of the shit they sell isn’t geared towards his base anyway and people will desert them once he loses. Even most of his ardent supporters will act like they never supported him (think George Bush, the way Republicans talk about him now, they act like they didn’t support all the shit he did during his reign)...they have nothing left and will doing anything to hold on to what they have..... done even think a Trump loss ends all hope for Ivanka and Jr POTUS dreams, the Trump name will tarnished

Why is everyone freaking out about this poll?

To me Biden is in waaay better shape then Clinton was, he is at 50% while Clinton was in the low 40’s...he is beating Trump by 6 while Clinton was trailing Trump by 4....but by some of these comments in this twitter thread you would think Biden is doomed
