Ah, voices from the echo chamber. What do the Democrats have besides hope. Same for the GOP. Polls? Remember the 2016 polls? So the echo chamber attacks, smears, damns, and pats each other on the back for how clever they are. Same for the GOP. Personally, I'm working on the end of my second novel and will see the results on the day after the election. If America decides to once again descend into the pit of despair that we left behind in 2016, well, we deserve what we get, either way, don't we?

Keep in mind Ted Kennedy killed a woman and got away with it, and in the end he got a send off similar to John McCain. Let no politician cloud your mind, they are all evil, the question is how much of their evil can you tolerate.

I know recent events have made it hard to, but I have to believe that there are still a few in office that are loyal to their oath - meaning equal moral compass to US in general - but I'd guess they are unknown to most of us because they stay out of the media. The founders (F) were full of questionable men by association due mostly to being wealthy. They got the job done while starting from scratch and toppling a King. They also lived in a time when "gentlemen" settled a point of honor with dueling pistols. They've always loved their liquor. Currently, Congress approval is around 17 %.

Yeah because polls are so accurate, remember when Hillary was leading and had a 95% chance at winning the election?
This sounds more like the Dems just trying to find a way to get some sleep and feel good about themselves. When in doubt attack. Good luck with that

The polls weren't wrong, they just didn't account for the electoral college. The poll is not why I shared the link anyway, and I don't really care.

SFC Pete Kain I don't understand where people miss this. Nate Silver had the chance of Trump winning at 23% or something. Even if it were 95% like you said, that doesn't make the polls wrong. They are speaking in probability (we'll ignore the margin of error for this as it isn't needed).
If I pick a random number between 1 and 100, there is a 95% chance it will be a number between 1 and 95. If 96-100 comes up, that doesn't mean the prediction that there is a 95% chance that it won't was wrong, it only means that there was also a 5% chance that it would be and 5% isn't 0. Similarly there is a very low chance that anyone person will win the lottery but hey given enough players and rounds pretty much someone always wins eventually.
So when these polls start speaking of what is going to happen in the next election they are also speaking in probabilities. People who think they are speaking in absolutes, one way or another, are likely to be disappointed.
