What party supports business the most? what type of industry is the most prominent in silicon valley. It's not surprising one bit actually.
People need to move beyond the notion that California is ''leftist''. It is inhabited by a large number of wealthy people who want to look out for their best interests.
I'm not sure where all this doomer "Yeah, Biden's going to win" mentality has come from in the past few days, and that's because when you consider Trump's historic in-party approval rating, massive crowds and car/boat parades, the Primary Model, rally tickets selling out, breaking records for receiving votes in primaries, people having more Trump yard signs/bumper stickers, and others, I'd be surprised if Biden won. Attached are four pictures from a Twitter account of a guy who has discovered some interesting Google trends that point to Trump winning:

As someone who believes it is possible Biden can win, it's really just about two possible things:
1. Voter Fraud - I really do not need to explain this but I feel with last election results, I think this election gives the DNC more of an incentive to actually fuck with things. The most likely outcome with this is really something similar to the 2000 election where somehow Biden wins a very close race.
2. Anti-Trump Sentiment/MSM Propaganda - While many can dismiss the news' BS, there will be a lot of people out there (normies) who can believe what the news media says without question. Some people believe Chris Wallace is impartial despite showing extreme leftwing bias and the constant barrage of negative Trump content is concerning. This is different from 2016 as 2016 was about Candidate Trump, and not President Trump plus many people did not vote in that election and want to return to a much "safer" space with Biden.
However, these are points why I can believe Trump could win:
1. Historically incumbent presidents always win unless they do massive fuck ups - This could be teetering for Trump because of COVID but that last three times where an incumbent president lost the election was Gerald Ford (1976; Never elected and was picked by Nixon who was considered really corrupt), Jimmy Carter (1980; Many failures in the economy and foreign policy), Bush Sr. (1992; "Read my Lips, no New Taxes", Perot splitting the vote, and the Republican party being in control of the presidency for three terms). Trump's incumbent advantage is there but could be lost depending on how many people are still pissed about his handling of Coronavirus
2. Historically, a candidate who relies on not being their opponent usually doesn't pan out - Back to the above, those incumbents lost also because a more charismatic figure emerged who had their own ideas and plans with a clear message. Biden has none of that and is basically pulling a Mitt Romney/John Kerry on how he is not the current president which is a losing strategy. Biden also has no message that he believes in and is a mess. The only thing Biden has going for him is that he isn't Trump which is not enough but could be depending on how many people want to vote in November.
3. Trump has actually made significant improvements to the economy and foreign policy. Trump is probably the closest candidate in recent times to be an Anti-War president as many people know Trump has been very diplomatic with many enemies of America and has not gotten to wars. Outside of the Syria bombing incident early in his first term, Trump has helped create more peace in the Middle East with Israel, defeated ISIS, and is the first president to get on friendly terms with North Korea. Trump also helped create one of the strongest economies in America and even in the polls, many people universally agree that Trump is great for the economy (I've even heard some democrats say that he should've just been the secretary of the Treasury). Another point in his favor is that he is against the riots which many people are annoyed about given the lack of sympathy America felt when the police took down all those autonomous zones.
My chances for Trump is more of a 51 to 49 chance as while he has many points in his favor it is unknown how much the establishment is right about Biden which can only be proven on election day.
Honestly, your post above reads to me as a reverse-Deplorables situation. Your points are accurate, but all the negative-for-Trump points basically boil down to "how many Americans are stupid enough to believe the media spin?"
Slightly off-topic but I've heard a large number of jihadists and so on are recruited by the higher-ups specifically because they're the Middle Eastern equivalent of a repressed incel coomer, and they want those 7 virgins. So they're still "dying for Allah" but for them they're more motivated by sex rather than pure religious zealotry. I think this makes sense. It would explain why a lot of them are discovered to be single men instead of married fathers and grandfathers.

I mean, I’m here and I’m not leftist. But I also know some outright commies, and weird leftist degeneracy is normal here (something of a culture shock when I moved here from a red state). The bay area is very leftist, conservatives like James Damore get called out when they don’t play along, but now Trump signs are going up in my neighborhood.
It‘s very weird to see people actually voting in their own self interest instead of California woo. I thought everybody had taken the Diversity & Inclusion pill, but actually there are based people all over.

Yeah I admit this is bitter take since there are so many people who blindly believe what the media says. There are legitimate criticisms for Trump (his idiocy when it comes to the Internet being the easiest), but I did not put them in because most of the Trump complaints just parrot the media along with the fact that Biden's record is worse as his record pretty much shows he's a racist old neocon who cares more about lobbyists than the average american.

Even if you do more than just read the headlines, the media has quite the web mutually reinforcing stuff to boost their apparent credibility. It doesn't help that most of the places that call out their bullshit are image boards, blogs, and partisan news sites with trashy ads prominently displayed in the side bar. It's very easy to write it all off as the American equivalent to the Daily Fail.
I've heard they changed their methodology because it was too pro-Trump. Frankly, this is more Null being salty over Section 230 (which to be fair, he has a point on) than anything. It still doesn't change that polling is the least useful method of predicting elections than anything.
Barnes / Baris explained why this poll pointed to a Trump win. Essentially, it over sampled Trump support by 4 points by having an oversample of rural voters. After this oversampling for Trump, they changed the scales from 30% rural and 20% urban and flipped them instead of properly weighing by the electorate, causing the new metrics to oversample Dems by 7 points in 2018, causing a D+14 showing result when it was only D+7 when everything was counted. They did not choose to correct this bias, because BLUMPH BTFO in 2018.
Recently, the poll showed a 3 point lead for Biden, collapsing his 10 point lead previously held. Instead of reporting it, they screamed "OH NO A GLITCH DON'T WORRY WE FIXED IT. BIDEN +10. TRUMP STILL BTFO." Everyone who saw this called bullshit.
They are cooking the books in this poll. Don't pay it much mind.

Lies and manipulation help preserve image and in many cases certain business's. These people are just pretending to care about leftist causes while voting for the GOP. The may have to pretend to support BLM, LGBT or whatever else in order to appease business clients (especially if their company advertises on social media) or just to make themselves seem progressive. It's just manipulation, these people will vote to keep more of their money and stimulate their business and there's no question to that.
I just realized something. Confirming that Biden tested negative just shot themselves in the foot and lost a golden opportunity. They could have said Biden tested positive as well, kill him off, and raise Kamala into the nominee seat. This would simultaneously allow the Dems to hammer even harder Trump's response to COVID, but more importantly it will allow a wave of panic and sympathy cover for Kamala being an utterly unlikable witch. What a misplay. Biden is due to die by his handlers anyway, what's a few months to them.
