The problem that is not being considered is the fact that All The Polls are saying Biden will win in a Reaganesque landslide. I question how something like that wouldn't depress Dem turnout.
I don't think that's necessarily going to depress turnout just from overconfidence - it's depends a lot on the situation. If you think your party is going to win whether you vote or not, you might vote anyway just to say you voted in that election for whatever reason. 'My vote helped get the First Black President in' is a great motivator. 'My vote helped get a decrepit old white guy' not so much, but maybe 'my vote helped get out cheeto hitler' would.
 
Part of the problem, I think, is that there is a certain type of suburban voter that only voted Republican because they liked the economic benefits of extreme free-trade/outsourcing and cheap migrant labor, both things that Trump and his base have been hostile too and have tried to roll back. So they're drawn to Biden-Harris because it would be a restoration to that status quo. I mean, I passed by one house today that had a big "Republican for Biden-Harris" sign draped across their fence, and I'm guessing that's the reason behind it.
In the Laura Ingraham special after the debate, there was some oily smug face prick who said that he was a Reaganite Republican who wanted to vote for Biden as he did not like the tariffs that Trump was using. And Laura countered him with that Reagan did akschully use tariffs as she had worked under him lol.

Anyways I already placed my bets on predictit and the senate races as well.

After this debate and the Hunter shit which Biden keeps making it worse. I see a light at the end of the tunnel for a 2nd term. Its getting closer now than ever before.
 
I think the people who bring up the enthusiasm difference are forgetting one key factor, and yes, it is a variant of TDS.

People might not like Biden, but they'll vote for him just to get Trump out of office. They're not gonna go out and get a sign, or attend one of his rallies, or whatever, but they'll still vote for him if it gets Trump out of power. They think that he is the reason everything has gone to shit, unjustifiably, or not, and incorrectly think that voting him out will fix it. To them, it's like going to the dentist to get a root canal, or something. Yeah, it sucks ass, and you're not excited, or enthusiastic for it at all, but it's for the greater good, so-to-speak. Better take care of it now before it festers even more.

They don't screech about Trump on Twitter, or whatever, they're the opposite of those folk. They're sick of the screeching, and just want people to shut up, and think that if they vote for Biden, they'll finally have some peace, and quiet again. They're wrong, but that's probably what their mindset is.

This is why I still think it's too early to call this race yet. Biden might've shot himself in the foot repeatedly over the last few weeks, but TDS still might be enough for him to win. I'm not trying to be a doomer, or anything. I just think it's something we should keep in mind.
It actually isn't. TDS is defined by someone who constantly bitches about Trump and everything he does. The SJWs, the Never Trumpers, the neoliberals shills in China's pocket, those are the ones who have TDS because "the cause" is to get Trump out. That's why we have a massive thread dedicated just to those exceptional individuals, their hatred of Trump affects their lives. But here's the thing. I don't think people with TDS are as common as we think they are. The ones who are dedicated to being anti-Trump are in a minority much like how SJWs are a minority of leftists who want to silence and remove wrongthinkers from any and all jobs and positions of power. 50% of the population do not have TDS.

What you're describing are more like "sea sick" voters Baris talked about right before the final debate. They're the ones that want the drama to end, to not have to be constantly reminded of the President every time they check social media. Some of these voters might have voted Trump before because of how much they hate Hillary Clinton but may buy into the decency argument Biden is making. In states like Minnesota and Wisconsin where there is a larger portion of these "sea sick' voters, that could be the thing that tips it in Biden's favor. One strategy the TDS people use on these voters is to constantly throw up drama about Trump or Trump-related subjects like the Kavanaugh hearing and permeate it to the point where some voters throw up their hands and either stay home or vote for Biden. It's a media manipulation strategy.

The "sea sick" voters might not like Trump for all the drama that surrounds his administration, they may not like his boorish rhetorics, or even his policies, but Trump does not rule their thought process rent-free. Which is why they don't screech about Trump on Twitter or Facebook, they're just normal people who happen to dislike him. Most people are genuinely decent people who want what is best for those they care about. The problem is that we are vulnerable to media propaganda, which is why otherwise decent people end up making poor choices they aren't aware could fuck them over, like voting for Biden in hopes the boat will stop rocking.

I see where you're coming from and I absolutely agree that it's too early to call this election, but the enthusiasm gap argument still holds water, especially when the extremely enthusiastic voters - the ones who will show up - are going double digits for Trump. The very and moderately enthusiastic voters - which the "sea sick" voters fall under - will probably show up but a non-negligible part may decide to stay home. Time will tell if precedence holds true.
 
Its getting closer now than ever before.
Biden's campaign looks like a dude that tried to sprint the whole 400m instead of striding the backstretch. He's on the homestretch now, just flailing away, trying to make it to the finish line. But it's too late! The bear done already jumped on him.

Man you can't even say Trump doesn't feed into it like a motherfucker though. When half of California is on fire and he's telling them he wants to hold out the relief funds and they should have raked the leaves because they fought him on some unrelated issue two months ago, shit like that hurt him a lot more than people talk about.

If he loses this election it's 100% the many dozens of fights he picked for no reason. He thinks he's only pinging blue viewers sometimes and his own supporters got caught in the crossfire. Literally no one I knew who voted Trump 2016 flipped over Russia or during the impeachment or over some media narrative. The ones who flipped it was all other stuff that no one ever talks about where he said or did something that personally pissed them off and they just finally had enough. I think the biggest one was when he said covid would be over in a few weeks then put Kushner in charge, that guy shouldn't even be managing a Wendy's at this point.

Kushner isn't involved with the Covid response.

I ain't paying shit for some stupid ass Californians who refuse to do proper forestry management. Fuck that noise.

Trump is a kind of unique person who does not change for anyone. He is what he is which explains how he has some form of consistency in his politics compared to sleeply Joe changing positions every day.

California has been a shit state for the GOP though and in the 2018 midterms, the party died. California is a giant bubble and Newsom is competing with Trump over who to hate more.

Edit: I have a theory on the early voting that the most TDS democrats have already voted or will early vote it. So we basically see a early bloom for Biden since he is overall leading. However as time gets closer to election day and election day, Trump's vote will sky rocket while the overall democrat popular vote will be less than 2016 or even 2004. Trump may look on course for 70 million but it's also possible he gets 60 million in a depressed turnout election where everyone is tired.

I notice there's been a recent push among history communicators (such as Indy Neidell of The Great War) to say that Hitler was actually a Mobutu-style kleptocrat with amazing PR early on, as if to pre-empt this argument.
Thats because alot of big companies with giant ad budgets dont want to be mentioned in those videos...

Man that's CRAZY I could have sworn he was in charge of supply chain on the Corona virus task force and on the council to reopen America but I guess I just imagined that..,

We’re just — this team has truly acted in an inspiring way and literally is working with dozens and dozens of people at the FEMA Stabilization Task Force to make sure that we are leaving no stone unturned to find the supplies we need.

Let me also say, today you’re going to hear from Jared Kushner, Senior Advisor to the President of the United States, but someone that the White House Coronavirus Task Force directed to work with FEMA on supply chain issues. And in recent weeks, he’s been leading a working group, in conjunction with FEMA, that literally has identified millions of medical supplies around the nation and around the world. And we’re grateful for his efforts and his leadership.

Are you fucking retarded? Serious question.

Over half the forests in California are under Federal management. The state owns something like 5%.

Which network or YT channel are you guys going get your election coverage from?

I think I'm going to watch either TYT or MSNBC to see them breakdown emotionally in real time. I've got my fingers crossed for an on-air suicide for when Trump wins.
I'm going to do the same thing I did in 2016:

Watch Steven Crowder's stream, and then turn the TV on to witness the meltdowns in the mainstream media when Trump is declared the winner.

Doubt he will be declared the winner on the night unless he wins by some ridiculous margin
 
It's over for Biden, he just lost 41% of the vote with one picture.

Nate would give his left nut and his wife to spend one night as Big Poppa Pump.
For the record Nate Copper is offically a homosex.

In other news it looks like Republicans are utterly dominating in Texas. Keep in mind that this site is very Pro-Trump.

We'll see if this holds but if it's true that the Youth Vote is failing to materialize then Democrats will be shitting their pants soon. Personally with this news and considering I can't find any news of Biden going to Texas I'm ready to say the left wing dream of Blue Texas is officially dead despite the polls claiming that it's a dead heat.
