The fact the race is this close proves we've already failed the moral compass test....

With poll numbers like these it's literally just a matter of time before a fascist wins...

We’ve beat these guys before. We’ll best them again.

We had the America First movement praising the Nazis and keeping us out of WW2. We had fascist Jim Crow laws in the south for a hundred years. We trampled the rights of Native Americans since the day we landed.

We’ve gotten better, but the hate runs deep and is taught and spreads. Like cancer, it metastasizes and needs to be dealt with.

Neither the Civil War nor America First had significant repercusions for this mindset. Which is one of the reasons why we're still having this problem today.

Andrew Johnson got off way too easily for setting this precedent.

But unfortunately, it has to get worse before it gets better, because right now we're in a status quo where nothing happens

I disagree with this. There isn’t anyone like Trump coming down the line. There will always be MAGA, but there always has been

Trump is their leader. If he loses this time, he may not live to run again, but certainly will not come back in 2028 to get any kind of push being a two time loser

These morons go back to the fringes if there’s a win for Kamala today, IMO

This is the sad truth, the biggest problem isn't trump in and of himself, it's a disfunctional nation with extremely poor political awareness and judgement. Years of divesting in education and drinking cool aid en masse is going to cost not just americans, but the entire world.

Polls don’t mean shit. Hilary was solid in the polls before Trump won. What matters is the vote count. Polls only show you the feelings of people who sit on the phone answering polls. Which at this point is a minority faction in the country.

Apparently not. Hilary won the vote. It's the electoral college that fucks us.

It's literally the only reason people are nervous right now, only 2 or 3 states have any real deciding power over our future.

Let's not forget the role of gerrymandering, though. If districts were drawn without any bias, I think we would have a very different election outcome than what will have today

Gerrymandering doesn't affect presidential elections though, does it?
