I will personally be the deciding vote in this election. I hold that power.

If trump wasn't such a POS I wouldn't be that motivated to vote between these two old dorks.

mrs. dave and I are dropping off our mail in votes today

You and nate need to stop trying to make fetch happen

That's a lot of polls to say otherwise

Pretty sure it's basically impossible both for NE-02 to be a close race and also have a close electoral count. The district too far left relative to other states for that to happen.

750 million for the month of september (this is for all dems for contributions processed through actblue).  they raised around 500 m in august, iirc.


as a comparison, the obama 2008 campaign raised 778 m, total.

I wasn't carrying about what electoral vote it was, just that he was winning NE-2

That crease runs through Sasse's bubble, no way the scanning machine will count that.

It's a crime to publicize your completed ballot in missouri if you were wondering what other dumb laws missouri has.

I'm curious to see if the debate widens the gap.

Lots of commentary on 538 expect it to change it in favor of Biden slightly.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-biden-debate-poll/

But it's all pretty minor stuff

The consensus seems to be coalescing around the idea that Biden slightly helped himself with his performance, and trump didn't do anything to appeal to anyone else but his base. It seems his strategy is to keep doubling down, which granted got him the office in 2016, but, like, running as the outsider in 2020 rings hollow. Basically, a minor win for Biden.

Yeah, Biden having a good team of people around him is his best thing. Who would really be making fiscal policy decisions? Hopefully some person super rough ridin' smart about fiscal policy! Not some old dude who watches Fox News all day and rages on twitter.

The people they both surround themselves with makes this vote even more of a no brainier.
