In reply to the discussion: Race tightens in Miami-Dade, giving hope to Trump in Florida [View all]OneBro
(1,159 posts)2. Biden's 17 point lead gives Trump hope?
"Biden garnering 55 percent of the vote in Miami-Dade County to Trump's 38 percent. While that 17-point lead is well outside the poll's 4.4 percentage point margin of error, it's well short of then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's 30-point victory there in 2016."
Well, as far as nail-biting goes, this is more like rubbing a thumb across the fingertips. True, in a sane world Biden would be leading by 60 or 70 points, but we haven't lived in a sane world for quite some time.

You know perfectly well that the OP has not issued a "call to arms" or anything of the sort.

It's important because we need a huge win in Miami-Dade to have a chance to win the state

It's called cutting the margins. It's how you win in FL. You don't try to appeal to the whole state.

Oh FFS! GMAFB! Nothing in the OP was a "call to action". It was a classic "we're doomed" post.
