Biden leads Trump. So did Hillary Clinton. For Democrats, it’s a worrisome campaign deja vu

The polls are once again delivering feel-good boosts to Democrats: Joe Biden beats President Trump by 10, 11 or 12 points nationally, depending on the day. His edge in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin averages eight. Propeller-heads promise better than 4 in 5 odds of a new president next year.

But then the partisans remember they have been here before, four years ago this week. The conflicting emotions can be overwhelming.

“I am feeling anxious and trapped between a sense of unbridled optimism and sheer dread,” said Abington Township, Pa., Commissioner Bill Bole, who like many Democrats never thought Trump could beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 and was stunned when he did.

Wow, maybe the compost will start reporting reality instead of cheerleading. They are seeing the handwriting on the wall:

Not likely, they are full of socialist agitprop and racism, they and the NYT have handed their ‘editing’ over to extremely biased personnel. They think we should believe/do whatever their masters think up.

Once again they are feeding thier masses good news so they dont have to bother voting

[chuckee]

It’s hard to believe the MSM is still sticking to their fake double digit poll leads this late in the game after the embarrassment they went through in 2016 with the same set of phony numbers. These guys have no shame. I guess they are counting on the dumb Dems that watch them to have short term memory and forget their duplicity within a week after their candidate loses the election. Same stuff, different day when it comes to abject stupidity.

Praying this will be so.

The polls have been made irrelevant by early votes already cast.

This video walks you through the early voting to date and shows you why we _know_ Biden is tanking _now_.

The Democratic insiders _know_.

The mass media management _knows_.

They are just mailing it in at this point.

Early voting looks good.

Most every body I know that vote Democrat have had a hard life, they have a low IQ and are hard headed never learning much in life. Every Day is a DEJA VU to them, wasting money on things like name brand food items, cigarettes, liquor and stuff like that, they have no clue on economic things, and they all are voting for the welfare party to bale them out just in case life gets really hard. They are part of a generation/family that have always voted Democrat.

But the main part of my comment is they never learn anything in life or attempt to learn anything, it is like God has blinded their eyes to the truth, and has stopped up their ears to the truth, This is how I believe God mostly curses a Nation that doesn't follow his 10 commandments, the other various lesser know commandments, and the New Testament commandments like Love your neighbor as your self. When God curses a nation he mostly does it like I just stated above, not by fire and brimstone and whatever, basically when God curses a nation it they don't see it coming and when it is happening they won't see it happening. You could say it is mankind curses it self, but that is another theological issue I won't get into. The big rhetorical question one needs to ask himself now is: Is the USA being cursed by God right now, or is he being blessed, or is parts of it being cursed and other parts being blessed. And is our political situation a DEJA VU being repeated over and over again because a majority of it's citizens are blind. My gut feeling is this election will be a repeat of the last election and in 2024 it will be a repeat of this election etc, with people still voting they way they did a long time ago.

The mass media knows Biden is toast, but they want to keep eating caviar and toast at the cocktail parties, so they will just play along, pretend to be actual journalists and “mail it in”.

Exactamento, my FRiend. Rats are stupid, easily lied to, easy to lie, dishonorable... I could go on and on, but y’all probably get the point.

Not so where I'm at, an upper end planned community, Verrado, outside of Phoenix. Went for a long bikeride yesterday and saw more than a few biden/harris signs.

Living is on the easy side for these people. But that doesn't make them any smarter.

I was working in south FL - extreme south end of Miami-Dade county for 4-1/2 weeks. NOT a wealthy, Palm Beach-Miami Beach- NYC import area!

And I just saw my one Biden bumper sticker - on a union worker’s car with Ohio plates! Even down the Keys Highway, saw dozens of Trump banners and flags.

Democrats have the misplaced optimism of a blind lesbian in a sushi bar.
