    Doesn’t matter, go fucking vote. Vote like your life depends on it; depending on your demographic that could very well not be hyperbole. Vote like it’s a terrifyingly close election, because despite all the polls and the analysts, this election is still going to come down to razor thin margins. It is VERY hard to compete with the sheer fanaticism of Trump’s base; a large number of them literally think he’s the Messiah or that Harris is the antichrist so they feel justified in all sorts of batshit actions.

    Won’t make a difference. SCOTUS will hand the presidency to Trump regardless of outcome.

    Edit: Since when has this SCOTUS ever shied from doing something it “can’t”? Roe v. Wade. Presidents are kings. Church as state. Vote anyway, I am, but they’re trying a second coup and they might well succeed this time. You can all apologise for not listening after they do it.

      “apologize for not listening” in your view, what difference does it make whether we listen or not, and why should we apologize? As you said, “won’t make a difference” right?

      SCOTUS can’t overrule an election outcome unless there is contention and proof. Won’t happen. Her numbers are too good, and that’s taking into account that polls only reach old people.

        They can do whatever the fuck a majority of them wants. That’s why Mitch McConnell considered stacking the courts much more important to his legacy than electoral success.

        The way the broken system works, they have the final say on ANYTHING and can only be overruled by the by now impossible constitutional amendment process.

        No matter how nonsensical or blatantly corrupt their reasoning, their judgment is effectively final.

          If SC tries to force an illegitimate Trump presidency down our throats there will be hell to pay. Biden might also need to use some of his newly-acquired presidential immunity superpowers and ship the SC to Antarctica to do science research for the rest of their tenure.

        Bush v. Gore. Contention, no proof. Since when has this SCOTUS ever shied from doing something it “can’t”? Roe v. Wade. Presidents are kings.

        Sorry bud, it’s not looking good, and believe you me will I be voting. But it’s not even a question that they’re trying coup 2.0.

            It is exactly the same thing. Jeb Bush and W. Bush’s campaign manager rigged the vote in Florida, same as Trump loyalists will do this cycle.

            Uh-huh. Ignore everything else that’s happened just this year, then. Ignore all the obvious preparations they’ve been making, how they’ve stacked the courts. It’s gonna work out great.
