This mentality, if applied in a survival scenario, could easily result in one's death. It's a careless and childish approach.

Are you one of those "not voting is a vote for the other side" guys?

While I find your presupposition somewhat flawed, I am certain that if a substantial number of otherwise patriotic Americans abstained from voting in 2016, Hillary Clinton would have been the President.

Just a uestion for you Pennsylvania folks.
Seeing & listening to that spectacle, how can this ‘race’ be so close as the news outlets say? Most people felt sorry for Fetterman and still planned on voting for him! WTF is in the water PAsig? Insanity!

Easy: Philly and Pittsburgh.

Two liberal strongholds surrounded by rich, guilty-feeling white folks with too much education for their own good.

I guess you get what you vote for and no reason to complain.

It’s not as close as they make it out. These polling outlets ALWAYS…ALWAYS undersample Republicans on purpose to get the poll numbers they want. If they’re polling 1,000 Dems, they’re only polling 500 Republicans. It’s all bullshit.

I’m certain that Oz is actually AHEAD by 3,4,8 %

Maybe even more

^^^ Agreed.

What I don't get it is - WHY DOES ANYONE GIVE A SHIT ABOUT POLL NUMBERS? The only poll that counts is on election day. Stop listening or buying into polls and making it a profession! It's pathetic how poorly educated people are in this country and they can't make up their own minds by doing some research. If that held true for only a quarter of the population, I guarantee you that pollsters would be out of their stupid job. It would also result in greater accountability & that folks is why we get so many shitty candidates.

I completely agree with the response from PASig regarding the accuracy of the early polls and the bias historically shown toward Democratic candidates. I am hopeful that this bias is reflected in the current polls.

In the very early morning hours of November 8th, 2020, I went to bed well-satisfied from the final calls coming from the television broadcasters that Trump won the election. However, upon waking up a few hours later, I found that the vote counts had dramatically shifted in that short period of time. It is with this vivid memory that I now disagree with such statements as:

. Kindly spare me any further discussion of "the big lie".

The Democratic candidate for Governor in PA is former PA State District Attorney, Josh Shapiro, who violated the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by changing the rules of the 2020 election during the election without the required state legislative process.

The same Democratic strongholds in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Centre County will likely carry Shapiro into the State Capitol as Governor. PA will have been participating in early voting for about a month by Nov. 8th. Democrats party leaders are already saying that it will likely take many days after the polls close to have a final count of the votes for the up-coming election. The extended time limits requested by the Democrats are viewed by many as opportunities for vote tampering as it was when this occurred during the 2020 election. Apparently, information technology has done little to accomplish trustworthy handling of election results in a more timely manner.

Those are the short list of issues why I take issue with anyone telling me that I get what I vote for with no reason to complain. I hope and pray that new faces in Congress can work to ensure that the American people of all political parties can have unwavering confidence in the integrity of the election process in all future elections.

Too many people have this world view that the government is there to help and make life better, they think the government will never lie to them. So they believe the bullshit the politicians (and the MSM) spew without question.

I do believe you mean to say the 2020 election, though I can't be sure as you said it three times.

^^^^ Thank you, Balze. I corrected the typos.

Hopefully the margin of victory is more than 249,000.

Yes

He was in Philly and was trying to most likely say “the Eagles are better than the Steelers” but his stroke-addled brain was not computing.

Hi. Good night everybody.

I'd love to see Fetterman, Harris and Biden on a stage with a panel of journalists asking them questions

^^^^^^^^^^
You a glutton for punishment? I would rather see Kindergartners debate the merits of fracking.

Third party voters are closet democrats.

Holy Moly

Get ready to say "Senator Oz" after November 8th
