There is zero evidence at present that he's going to lose by ten million votes. The polls are essentially a dead heat. We can pretend otherwise, but that will accomplish nothing. Besides, national popular note is irrelevant.

Please, please, please stop with the "it's going to be a blowout" prognostications based on nothing. We cannot afford to be overconfident and complacent. The only thing that will really matter in the end is turnout in the swing states and how the EC unfolds.

Turnout is crucial, and pretending that Biden is way ahead based on nothing but projecting our beliefs of what should be happening onto what is really happening is not going to help.

Even though Hillary had 3 million more votes than 45*, thanks to our slave state appeasing electoral system the orange asshole "won".
