All done, I'm sure, to sow discord amongst the Republican Party voters and she can claim the election was stolen from her. Just like Trump is going to do later this week.

A lot of Trump Republicans seem to hate women and go out of their way to prove it on any given day. I hope they try him as an adult; he could have done some serious harm to her.

The polls really get to them so hard, that is fun but people can not get lazy on that.
Clinton was leading in polls too and then lost.
No matter what the polls say, people need to get out and vote.
This has to be more than just a simple win, it must be a humiliating loss to the Republican party.

They must suffer the consequences of giving everything up for Trump, attacking America as a whole in order to please a deranged egoist.
Only after Harris factual won, we can start laughing at all of this...until that day, people have to stay on the Gas and keep going, no breakes nothing.
Full Throttle.

All the signs point to Harris (hopefully) winning by a lot, but you're right. It won't mean anything unless people get out and vote. (Which they're doing in record numbers so far, I think.)

I do agree not to get complacent, but it's become clear that Harris is very likely winning by a larger margin than Biden did in 2020.

I hope so. Hopefully she can win even more states that Biden won in 2020.

Iowans need to vote out Joni Ernst and Kim Reynolds in 2026. The latter has herself to blame — pushing through the highly unpopular abortion ban and putting her thumb on the scale for judicial nominations to the state courts.

Her “mission to protect the unborn” will backfire spectacularly on her.
