Thought I'd report what I've observed in Manhattan today.
Early voting started and at one particular location, on the Upper East Side, the line to vote has encircled the entire building from around 10 a.m. until now - so, two street and two avenue blocks, entirely. Yes, there is "social distancing" but this is unbelievable (someone said it takes about 5 hours to vote). On the assumption that the voting pattern for the neighborhood holds, one has to wonder what is motivating these people, their candidate (really??) or pure hatred of POTUS? In any event, I did not expect this.

ould be weather related. I think most of next week is chance of rain. If you gotta wait 5 hours, I don’t think anyone wants to do that in rain.

The left has pounded the “Go out and vote!” mantra for a few months now. The ignorant who wouldn’t even think about voting are casting their first votes along with the uninformed who have been doing it for years. These dolts have NO clue to what or whom they are voting for.

Weather is a good point.
This is going to be the last warm and comfortable day for a while.
Their fear of rioters may not be enough to overcome their brainwashing by the mass media—but you never know...

I think it was actually on the Upper West Side...

How does this compare to ‘16; do you know?
To: ptsal
Slow Joe couldn’t stir a cup of hot cocoa.
This is one of the places where voters will crawl over miles of broken glass to vote against Trump.

It seems a great many of us don’t understand the white hot hatred for Trump that’s been burned into the minds of the intellectual left. They don’t have anything invested in Biden- he’s simply a vehicle. What they are invested in is destroying Trump.
No one is FOR Joe Biden.

Yeah, I guess we’ll see soon enough.

An informed people, yes, I agree.

Would be nice if he did but I agree that he should outperform 2016.
To: Cornfed21
Actually, in 2016 it was not like this. That’s why it’s very curious this time.
To: ptsal
Really....these people are stirred into action by Demented Joe? I do not believe that.They're stirred into action by their hatred of Trump.
This election will be the largest turnout in history. It's all about President Trump. People will be voting for him or against him. Nobody is voting for Joe Biden.

If they’re voting for Biden, they voted for Hillary.
I don’t think that too much of that will change.
If there is a change, it will be that some Hillary voters will switch and vote for Trump.
I find it really hard to believe anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 will vote for Biden.

This election will be the largest turnout in history.
The "experts" have been claiming this every election since 1960.
They have been wrong every time!
This year we have a surprising reason why they will be wrong.
Attached is my little essay on the topic--enjoy:
My coronavirus analysis:
One reason the pollsters are toast and Trump will coast to victory is because of CV propaganda.
This is a new influence on the election, so it is way over the heads of the experts.
(1) We know Democrats are more likely to believe the mass media than other voters. (lots of sources for anyone who wants to verify
bottom lineonly 40% of Americans trust the mass media and they are almost all Democrats.)
(2) The mass media has been pushing coronavirus fear porn for monthsand continue to do so today.
(3) Therefore, and polls confirm this, Democrats are far more concerned about appearing in public places and risking catching the disease.
(4) Therefore, any Democrats who have not voted by mail or early voted in person (probably at least a third, perhaps half, depending on the state rules) are terrified of voting in person and catching coronavirus from other voters and/or poll workers.
Conclusion: The mass media will be directly responsible for a significant suppression of the Democratic vote, perhaps by as much as 10% or so (with a net impact of 3+% on the total vote).
Everyone has missed this!
Wait for the whining and crying from the mass media talking heads after the election when they eventually figure out that _they_ suppressed the Democratic vote!

Anyone in the Blue States who vote Democrat deserves what they get.
To: Cornfed21
I wonder how much of what NYC sees and does is really consequences caused by that fool, DiBlasio, and not Trump. There have to be many in the city informed well enough to make that distinction. Wasn't it that arrogant DiBlasio who sent Samaritan’s Purse who offered free assistance packing?
