   @DanFox That would mean nearly 80% of the EC, and probably an historic landslide win for any party in US history. Given the norm is about a 5% deviation either side of an even split between the two parties, is 420 Electoral College votes actually achievable, never mind likely?

   Don’t get me wrong, I LIKE THIS, but I have had my hopes dashed many times before when watching US politics, so I am cautious in my optimism.

     @DanFox I guess I should read the article about Iowa’s polling right now. Democrats taking Alaska, New Mexico, Texas, and Georgia… that would be great, but should we really hold our breath? I did it in 2016 and we know how that went.

     @DanFox@mstdn.ca I refuse to believe it, and I think everyone should behave as if the race really is neck and neck until all the votes have been counted.
     
     Why?
     
     Because it smells.
     
     It smells like an attempt to give wavering "leftists" the excuse they need to think Harris is a shoe-in, so that Jill Stein's rat-fucking will be more effective.
     
     Assume the worst. Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.
