    or maybe the media lies. That's a real possibility that can't be ignored. But Trump is not an easy guy to publicly support, so your theory has validity.

    I don't preach Trump support from the mountaintop, but i'd rather see him in office than Biden. That's a disaster waiting to happen.


    This is on pace to come down to any one state that is super close. I expect a lot of recount demands going on to delay the actual decision, but it looks like Biden winning one of the closest elections in history. It literally might be 270-268. WOW!!!! Amazing no matter who you are rooting for.

    we've never seen polling errors like we have the last two elections. not in 2012, 2008, 2004, or 2000

    trump is the reason for the polling errors and it could be for any of the reasons i mentioned previously

    I did not vote for him, but I clearly see why he has the support he does. The way that people are essentially labeled racist or sexist or any other -ist for simply wanting someone who lowers their taxes and harbors a better business environment only pushes them further into his arms. I don't think a lot of Trump voters actually like the guy. They like some of his policies. But if you have the other side calling you names, what are you going to do?

    Our country is in a terrible state. People talk about Trump being a bully. Pft. The left is bullying people into being afraid to even say they will vote conservative in polls. If people think the shy vote is just a "weird thing" they are missing the bigger picture. You literally have people in the United States of America afraid to tell people who they are voting for in fear of being called names, being shouted down on social media or having their careers be damaged. 50 Cent says he is supporting Trump and Chelsea Handler (a rich, white woman) calls into question his racial loyalties. I honestly shake my head when people are complaining about what a terrible person Trump is with some of the stuff the people on the left have done. Both sides are terrible. Morality is nonexistent on both sides.

    Thanks a LOT for taking the time to explain. I was curious because this is truly my favorite place online and while we are talking mostly basketball, as a declared liberal myself I was still a little surprised to see more and more comments about left wing morons etc. in various topics and different contexts.

    This doesn't change how I feel about this place or any particular member at all BTW. I have noticed though that as far as the Polish internet, I am literally unable to talk to people on the opposite side of our local political debate, which is actually sad. I have never paid too much attention to the US politics but you seem to be pretty polarised as well. Not to kiss anybody's a***s but I like every poster on this forum, seems that politics doesn't have to ruin everything after all.

    Cheers and let's hope for a good result of the elections :Beertoast2:

    My response if the "so negative" is directed to me concerned about Trump supporters inciting chaos as they eat up the claims of fraud and Trump tries to use legal machinations to stop the counting of legitimate votes (meanwhile having the audacity to be so transparently hypocritical and use the reverse logic for Arizona; "we can't count that for Biden because we still need to count"):



    :Shaqwink:

    :cry: (at the CL logo in the video)

    And by the way, I wish you the best of luck in your transition to citizenship in another country! I think it's a reasonable decision and hope it brings you happiness.

    Right on man, cheers!

    And this is probably bad for me to say since clearly the election is legitimately important, but I'm so jaded at this point that I don't really care too much one way or the other.

    The Lakers are the champions. Everything else is just gravy. Not letting anything take away from my aura of contentment until if/when the Lakers are dethroned.

    He hasn’t even lost yet, it’s all still up in the air. Why protest like this when the outcome is still not even decided.

    We'll see but there are whispers she's kind of a Deep State plant/Manchurian agent like Roberts... I'm enjoying your historic political exercise thoroughly, ours here usually have several hundred dead a month before the election lol

    Hopefully you can tell that was tongue in cheek brother. No matter what side you lean toward, our country's leadership is not in great shape. At least half of the population will be unhappy with whatever occurs.

    I think this is a great reminder to put our hope and trust in God rather than imperfect men, regardless of which way we lean. I think we should have an appropriate amount of expectations in our leaders and this goes for our favorite teams and athletes too.

    Fear mongering come from both sides. China is sitting back laughing with Russia in the corner laughing even harder. This was all so predictable. Americans are stupid and have become useless to common sense.
