Polling by right-leaning firms has exploded this cycle. Maybe they want to be accurate—or maybe they’re trying to create a sense of momentum for Donald Trump.

      Hey, I hear you. And given the threat Trump poses, it’s important to stay vigilant.

      But I genuinely believe we’ve got this. Trump will never be in the White House again.

      And early voting data actually looks terrific for Harris. Early turnout in Democratic-leaning areas all over the country is unprecedented.

        I actually forgot all about that red wave play until you brought it back up it honestly helps a bit.

          Yep, they’re trying it again. Flood the zone with shitty polls from fly-by-night pollsters, make it look like a “red wave,” and try to turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy. If it works, they look like geniuses. If it fails, they claim rigging.
