If Trump wins it will come down to a few core factors.

Edit - Also, Democrats always do this, no offence but Democrats are the biggest doomers on the planet.

My post wasn't directed at you.  I never claimed you said all Republicans are stupid.  

And for the record I agree with you.  MAGA people are stupid.

We are good man.  

And I don't take personal offense.  I'm more than confident in my intelligence and have lead a very successful life.  I want Harris to win.  I point out the "deplorable" attitude as why liberals are struggling with elections more than they should.

Not saying those factors don't matter but the biggest factor is the level of misinformation, disinformation & distrust in mainstream media.

January 6th and the fake elector scheme should be disqualifying for anyone running for President, regardless of how good the economy was or how much you like their policies. This is why so man R's like Liz Cheney are supporting Kamala. Yet it doesn't seem to matter much because people don't believe the facts. 

Oh for sure!! I apologize I participated in the doom. I  was using the forum as an outlet because I have to be such a cheerleader IRL.

This race can very well come down to less than 100k votes divided among 7 states. A good GOTV operation can outperform the polls. We have seen it in GA time after time for their Senate races. Biden underperformed his polls but that campaign was anemic because of COVID. It is rare in campaigns that a "Field Margin" actually comes into play but they can be the difference of a couple points. The excitement and energy is with Kamala.

If Harris loses then I hope Democrats don't do their typical finger pointing and blaming each other and ripping each other apart, as per usual, Lol. They won't have time for that, it will be a time to come together and defend against any horrible shit Trump throws their way and the rest of the world. Personally, I'm going to be too focused on watching Ukraine die to give a shit about who is to blame for losing.

Imo, if Harris doesn't win then I don't think any Democrat could have won and it was inevitable.

But if Harris does win, I promise I won't come in here and mock doomers, I just don't think it's healthy to take the stance that she has already lost and give up before even reaching the finish line when it's neck and neck. Use the fear to donate, volunteer, or convince people even harder to vote but don't tell them "We've already lost" because that helps nobody.

It's not just America at stake, Europe and Ukraine is counting on you too. This is the most passionate I've ever been about an America election, Lol. Get some fire in your bellies and like I said, don't become complacent, the fear is good, use that fear to fuel yourselves because of what is at stake but you need to balance yourselves. As much as it doesn't help to say Harris wins easily, it doesn't help to say Trump has already won.

Honestly, I think it'd be in the Democratic Party's best interest to revive the so-called "blue dog" faction of their party in the future. Those people are the dying remnants of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal worker-farmer coalition and the modern Democratic brand simply sucks at reaching either end of that spectrum increasingly. There's too many goddamn Venture Capitalists for Kamala and Business Leaders for Harris, too many events with Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and other assorted neocon militarists who've never heard of a war they didn't want us to fight and couldn't give a rat's ass if you starve or wind up homeless or die of a fentanyl overdose. I'm seeing way too much Mark Cuban on my screen and it's communicating the wrong message. It's time to get back to kitchen table issues. Where are those in this last stretch of the campaign? Wtf happened to that whole message?

This is also just simply a change election year worldwide. The world, and the working class in particular, is unhappy with the post-pandemic cost of living, housing shortages, and the mass migration that's opened up to add more strain to our resources in a context of what's often been real scarcity and already-strained government budgets. In America's case, that means people are also just simply looking for excuses to vote for Trump this year. Harris is stuck fighting against that tide and what it all means is that she has to basically be perfect to win and Trump can get away with pretty much anything at the moment. Is that fair? Hell no! Is it reality though? Yes.

If Trump wins it will because liberals do not connect with people, including Ph.D folks, in conjunction with liberals falsely stereotyping Republicans as stupid.  

Hard to win a crowd over when certain people don't even know what that crowd is and what they represent.
