{deep chuckle:} That's why it's ESSENTIAL to invest ALL our crypto in speculation NOW before anything has the chance to stabilize.

Oh, now I see the context.

NO. Poll after poll gives Trump POINTS PLURAL over Biden. Biden doesn't stand for ANYTHING, except maybe reneging on all his platform promises, and the polls had him LOSING even before the whole Gaza thing. Have there been FLUCTUATIONS in Trump's lead, yes, but he's not LOST the lead.

The polls indicate a trend. If they didn't mean anything at all, nobody would run them. If nothing else, they DO measure sentiment AT THE MOMENT, so dismissing them because one doesn't like what they show is no smarter than sticking fingers in one's ears and humming loudly.

If you're a VBNMW, say so and I won't argue about it with you any further. I've just turned 68 [happy birthday to me] and for MOST OF MY LIFE have wished to GET RID OF THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM. I /DO/ remember when the Democrats actually gave a fuck to fight for the people "at all", but those days are DECADES behind us now.

Genocide Joe is NOT any better than Orange Fascist Man, esp. seeing the blood of 35000 murdered Palestinians on his hands and his administration clogged with hysterical warmongering psychotics. A vote for either of those fuckheads is an ENDORSEMENT of their policies -- even if the voters disagree, the PARTIES will claim so, "see, the people prefer us."

NO, the polls are CORRECT, hold the election NOW and Orange Fascist Man wins, and that is ENTIRELY the fault of the FUCKING DEMOCRATIC PARTY that is BANKRUPT in offering anything of worth to the American people.

A POX ON ///BOTH/// THEIR HOUSES.

I'm going to vote for STEIN or WEST and if Orange Fascist Man wins, it won't be MY fucking fault or the fault of any third-party voters. It will be because the Democrats tried YET AGAIN to force ROTTING OATMEAL NEOLIBERALS on the public. Trump WON in 2016 because the PEOPLE were desperate to GET AWAY from Neoliberalism and said, "with Clinton it's just going to be more of the SAME OLD SHIT, at least with Trump MAYBE things might get better, better a 30% chance to break out of the infinite loop of bullshit than the 100% certainty of a loss to the bullshit."

If you want to critique polls, try debating professionals from a polling agency like Gallup for them to PROVE to you what polls can and cannot tell you. As I said, a poll taken TODAY has MADE NO CLAIMS as to what will happen in a year's time, so arguing against what a poll DID say is futile: the Gallup people can //mathematically prove// the veracity of a poll and state its BOUNDS. I took Statistics; I know how it works.

Student debt? AN EPSILON of relief.

ROE? FAILED.

Supreme Court? FAILED.

Homelessness? IGNORED.

M4A? LITERALLY "Not on your life".

Minimum wage? Why EVER raise it.

ALL AMERICANS' DISCRETIONARY MONEY? Given to Zelenska to buy diamonds and furs, and to Israel to COMPLETE A GENOCIDE. Can WE have any of it for OUR purposes? NO, Fuck Off.

Neither major party is WORTH A GOD-DAMN. THEY BOTH SERVE THE PLUTOCRATS and make us all do so as well. So FUCK THAT.

{laughs} Have a nice day, or like that.
