If Rass is showing Biden with a 12 point lead it makes sense that he would be +14 or +16 in other mainstream polls like CNN and WSJ.

Oh, it's not like some people here on DU don't scream and shout like they think most polls (or even all polls) are rigged to play psychological games against them, but not as many, and not so adamantly.

And Democrats, for good or ill, spend a lot of time worrying about losing.

The Republican plan seems to be to ignore ALL contrary reality and vigorously assert victory is coming, no matter what. An army of Baghdad Bobs -- perhaps with a bit of an assist from an army of Baghdad Bob-Bots.

And Christ, what a self-centered universe these people live in to think so many people loooove their orange savior so deeply. Democrats are at least a whole lot better at understanding there are a lot of people different from themselves.

Bullshit. They have pronoia,and denial working together.

Pronoia is the opposite of paranoia,believing the universe conspires to make what you want
Come true. As much of a pathological disease as paranoia is.

Positive think is bullshitting yourself when you believe your own positive bullshit, with everything being contrary in reality to that bullshit it's a delusion,pronoia.

And those trump fuckers insane positivity is a pronoia en masse a shared illness/ delusional state.

When positivity does not work they may shift to paranoia and become very dangerous because alot of these assholes are gun humpers.

...totally distorted concept of "the people".

I also think a lot of them believe in "positive thinking" as if it's a magical power (not merely a unguaranteed motivator), and the complementary superstition that if they have doubts, voicing their doubts is a jinx, so they must lie to themselves and the world to disempower their doubts.

No wonder the country is so divided. I'm sure they genuinely believe their own bullshit, which is sad.

Or if there are polls that don't show Biden ahead? Maybe that one Rasmussen several months ago that shows Trump+1? Maybe the rest don't count as "polls"

My prediction: Trump will win resoundingly on election night. They
will still count mail-in and "newly found" ballots for a month until
they declare Biden the winner of "the popular vote". The Electoral
College will elect Trump anyway and the Left will be calling for its
elimination, as usual.
