    Either the election isn’t close at all which would make sense with how desperate and frankly weird Republican party antics have been lately. They’re nothing but off putting and seem to focus on efforts that are most likely to make them look like overly online idiots. Or the polling is accurate and people are just the dumbest they have ever been and thus democracy is a failure in the modern era. Which means the first party to take over and nullify an election will likely hold power for quite some time. Rather distressing. I am hopeful that the polling is just wrong in this case.

      It’s this one. The voter suppression and disinformation is what keeps it closer to 50/50, but without those it would still be like 55/45.
