    I’m not being complacent but I can’t see Palestine meaning more to the average American than abortion rights. In the end Roe v Wade being struck down will decide this election handily.

    I hope, mind you. And my heart hurts about Palestine. I also hope we can do better.

      I’m still more worried for the economy. Republicans think the border is the issue, but all past election trends point to a failing economy knocking the incumbent out. Granted, we’re far from a traditional election but my company has been holding it’s breath on it for a while now (not hiring/doing more with less). I think we’ve been in one, regardless of what the stock market is doing (and how they want to redefine the word). The question is, will it drop significantly between now and November?

        That’s fair. I think and hope the economy will stay strong through November.

        This is the longest stretch of low unemployment of my lifetime. I hope that counts for enough and the wage growth comes through enough.

        I’m doing okay but my wife and I are dinks so it’s a little easier for us.

        Also: great fucking movie and book.

        If companies stop hiring due to fears of an upcoming recession, unemployment goes up and they trigger a recession. This is why they have to keep the economy messaging positive. If you tell companies to prepare for a POSSIBLE recession you can very easily trigger a recession. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

    Yeah it’s almost like none of this shit matters until early November when people actually decide whether they’re going to vote or not.

    Sorry to be that guy but these were RV polls. LV (Likely Voters) polls filter for voters that are more likely to vote and those still favor Trump.

    Also Biden is underwater in almost every swing state poll. A handful of states are going to decide this thing. Biden needs to win these swing states like Michigan.
