A bit more on Texas. Right now Texas is leading the country in youth voter turnout. And their youth voter turnout is 600% of 2016.
Obviously in terms of raw numbers the youth segment is not very big, but still a good sign.

This just means they will slot their horrible commentators into “news” roles.
Following the first presidential debate last month in Cleveland, Ohio, pro-Trump Fox News host Sean Hannity interviewed presidential son Donald Trump, Jr.—who refused to follow mask-wearing requirements during the debate—inside the debate hall as the two sat right next to each other. (They even joked about being so close together without masks.)
I don’t view this as a big deal as they were French kissing fifteen minutes later.
.1% for Trump? UP POLLERS BE LIKE:
Plus people are doom and glooming based on fake actual voting in Florida. This place is an asylum I tell you.

Wait, fake?
I’m probably peacing the fuck out of this place for a long time if not for good on 1/21/21, and trying to devote the wasted time to peaceful living and more real world volunteering and activism.
Win or lose once the election is over being this acutely aware of every little thing is absurdly unhealthy. It’s better to put my head down, make more of a difference, and be less terrified/angry/frustrated/powerless.

On schedule early votes which are not great, but open to interpretation? Yes. Fake? Not that I’m aware of.
FL is a stupid state with a lot of electors. The vote will be within 2%, but who knows where. The Villages may save democracy…lol, ok probably better to bet on PA.
as someone who’s online too much I highly recommend not, it’s made us all nuts.
if trump wins, whoever’s left in the dem party will probably go back to fighting each other.
I won’t be one of them though, if combined can’t beat them it doesn’t matter.
If Trump wins I’m out of the forum and no longer “extremely online.” All that’s left at that point is helping as many people as possible through local volunteering, charity, activism, etc. I’m more inclined to that than leaving the country, I think.
There’s no point in discussing politics at that point because there will never be a winnable election again. It’ll just be a countdown to when they can rig it enough to take back the House or just abolish the House, or to when California secedes.

There’s a link to the site, but imo it would be nice if the twitter bio mentioned that UP is a politics forum.

NE-02 is one of those things trump just does because he read a trafalagar poll or something. I don’t believe it’s in play really either barring a major trump landslide. (ie he also won michigan)
I figured he just wanted a really big, loud crowd so he went to Nebraska.
The line isn’t the bottleneck.

So Iowa swings from Obama +10 in 2008 to Trump +10 and is now on the verge of swinging back to Biden in 2020. A lot of other midwest states are following a similar pattern. And then there is Florida which just stays at +/- 1-2% no matter what the national landscape is. My theory is there are a lot more single-issue voters here. Either Catholics who only care about abortion or Cubans who only care about not electing a “socialist”. They don’t care about the economy or the fascist in the office or the pandemic sweeping the country, they are just voting on their one singular issue that’s important to them and are completely unpersuadable to do anything else.

Regardless of everything else, this election may be a good test case for the longstanding claim that Dems just need to win the turnout war.

Yeah, so I think Biden is fine in the Midwest:

The only possible question mark still remains PA.
Numbers are from WAPO/ABC:
Biden +7 MI
Biden +17 Wisconsin
It looks like the COVID spike is really hurting Trump in the last week.
