For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Polls can't even be expected to be accurate anymore. I mean, if you're secretly gonna flip, and you get a call and you're around family or whatever, you probably won't say the name aloud. Political climate is just too wild to say Harris or Trump in a household that absolutely loathes them.
Gonna be weird to see results because they might further off than any other election
I know it's anecdotal and not scientific, but I'm in a "dead heat" state and I've seen more Harris signs in rural areas than I've ever seen for any democratic candidate in 30 years.
