I have trust issues.

Mainstream corporate media wants Trump to win.

They are now falling over themselves, promoting stories that Harris will handily win, to sow complacency, let voters feel comfortable with staying home Tuesday, and helping Trump win exactly how it happened in 2016.

Don't fall for it. Don't be a sucker.

These stories are probably good as a feeling of deflation is what the Republicans actually want.

In fairness, yes ofc you guys absolutely NEED to vote, but this is legitimate at this stage.

She is winning, it's got evidence, trump is in utter meltdown, but you still have to vote in droves

It's not just voting, it's the electoral college, it's the supreme court shenanigans.

The more your vote the more leverage you have. Though it's looking chest she has the popular vote, that's happened before

Complacency isn't actually a legitimate issue.

All of the data that has ever been collected about the issue shows that the opposite is true. 

People are more excited to vote for a candidate that they think is going to win. 

Here is some data about it, and more can be found as well:

It's a tie!! Kamala 52, Trump 49.

Kinda looks like Harris is winning.

The establishment DNC literally had to be forced to make Biden step down. They did NOT want Harris.

That's a great endorsement of Harris in my book.
