Polls schmolls. What an absolutely useless metric at this point.
polls shouldn't be taken as gospel at this point - it's not "OMG trump beat biden by 3 points, he's totally going to win in november!!!111" - but they have consistently shown that the candidates are within striking distance of each other, i.e. it's competitive and neither side has it sewn up. so saying that either candidate
could win isn't crazy, RE: space saying trump will return to the WH. one can disagree, but you can't dismiss.
This isn’t 2016.
on the one hand, yeah def - we know what we're getting with trump. any moderates who decided to roll the dice with him in 2016 have had that illusion shattered.
on the other hand, i feel there is a lot of discontent in this country, some of it focused and some of it generalized (re: the number of americans who are financially better off today then they were under trump, yet still feel that the country & economy are somehow going downhill). in a 2 party system, there is only one protest vote.
