Itās not just a semantic or aesthetic thing. I donāt think I have to make some list of ways in which Democrats are also authoritarian to justify concern about bandying about fascist language.

Yeah thatās the big thing here, I mean itās one thing to say ānumbers are all over the place between now and November, polls are skewed, etc.ā but in 2016 and 2020 the error/skew was all way in the Democrats favor, Biden was up by double digits in states that he won by 1-2 points, was supposed to have a chance in lol FL and some other obviously red states, etc.
I canāt see any magical reason the polls would suddenly be skewed the other way. It seems more like weāre looking at a 400+ EC landslide for Trump than anything that Biden would have a chance to eke out.
I think itās fair to assume that the polling error is as likely to fall in either direction. The pollsters do their best to figure out what theyāve done wrong and correct for it.
Iāve seen hypotheses that the current āenthusiasm gapā makes it more likely that polls are biased in favor of the GOP.

Good article. The analogy that has been bouncing around in my head is the Wizard of Oz. The debate was the moment the curtain gets pulled back and you see what he really is. After that there is no going back and the common knowledge explanation in this article is why.
Iām very disheartened by the Dems standing by Joe when we have all seen the truth. Itās so on brand for them unfortunately.

This says the Parkinsonās story is unsubstantiated bullshit.

I dont even understand the Parkinsons angle? Who cares if he has Parkinsons or not. How would that change anything?
He isnāt fit for office currently. He definitely isnāt fit for 4 more years.
I donāt know why everyone keeps saying this. Heās done a good job domestically the last 4 years and the country is running just fine now. Itās not like the president is doing all the work. I doubt he does much of anything tbh. The role of POTUS is pretty much to be a glorified figure head
Do you think he is capable of making important decisions in a crisis? I think his team is but Joe Biden Iām not convinced would even understand what was happening. Having the leader of the free world mentally diminished is not good. Itās one of the scariest parts about Trump as well.
