Not a single one of the seven swing states is outside the margin of error of either candidate winning. Don't expect increased certainty in the next five weeks. Don't doomscroll the polls. Hydrate and rest and get some fresh air. Oh, sorry, didn't see you standing there; was just talking to myself.

This nice thing is that if Harris has a good night on November 5 and wins enough states, everything will be resolved and we won't have to worry about the election anymore.

In a functioning and true democracy there would be no such thing as a swing state.

Readers of this thread: DO SOMETHING. Please phonebank or canvass in your nearest close race. PLEASE. Phonebanking is effective and not scary: the worst thing is that it’s boring. Please be bored for democracy a couple hours a week. Please. You’ll feel better.

Delighted the system STILL in place eliminates 43 states from mattering months, even years, before an election
