Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"~~Kamala Harris~~ Hillary Clinton predicted to win by nearly every major forecaster"
Its like 2016 never even fucking happened lol
She was predicted to win the popular vote....
And she did.
Looking at statewide polling and a lot of battleground states were coinflips.
The problem was anyone mentioning that got screeched at for wanting trump to win....
This comment also aged like milk. Trump is 5 mil over harris in pop vote
I really didn't think she'd fuck it up this much.
The last three elections have been like Brewster's Millions where it's like the Dem is trying to lose.
But this article is saying it's based on the EC,
That is too close. I hate that it's that close.
I want her to get over 350... over 400 even.
Hey, same here. And you know what? There's hope - at least one pollster is predicting a major blowout for Harris, https://app.vantagedatahouse.com/analysis/TheBlowoutNoOneSeesComing-1
Do you want them to not make any predictions until voting is over or what?
That would be an improvement
Yes, that is what we want.
OK, good luck with that.
YES (no predictions)
Honestly there should be zero results posted until all votes are counted. Counting as they come in influences later voters, especially in western time zones.
I thought there was an election in the not too distant past where the news declared a winner before Hawaii even finished voting.
I disagree with the "no predictions" part, but fully 100% agree with not releasing any results until all votes are tallied.
What would they base predictions on without results?
Tallying the votes makes the results though.
