We can only hope that the bullying culture is causing people to give phony answers that distort polls.
And anyone who is astonished by the leftist tactics will come out and vote against the left in person in Nov.
By the way, how many gangs and cartels are licking their lips right now over the opportunities this anarchy opens to them in cities like Seattle? Antifa is not the only interstate criminal threat that will hide behind Black Lives Matter.

The press was outraged by Trump’s talk of a rigged election in 2016. (Rightfully so.)
But today when Biden pushes such conspiracy theories where is the outrage?
They have sorting tabs in their play book: support left, destroy right.
Cancel culture is being replaced by arson culture. BTW, I didn’t know the Wendy’s building shot a black man. Good thing law-abiding citizens were there to bring justice to the rogue fast-food restaurant . . .
They must know that this Frankenstein’s Monster they’ve created will eventually turn on them.
Yes, this is our Jacobin moment in history.
I see little evidence that they know this.
How many have read Kurt Schlicter’s novel of an America after Hillary won the 2016 election? He assumed she had won. He has since written several about what a civil war would look like. He is retired Army, a Colonel and a lawyer living in Los Angeles. He has the LA speak down pat. I lived there 60 years before moving to Arizona and he has the language down pat.

Hang On HangOn.
In my state of California, elections are rigged all the time by the Democrats. I was once a minor elected public official in Los Angeles and I saw it happen all the time. In Southern California at a minimum 1.5 million votes by illegals were cast in the last Presidential Election, and that doesn’t get into all the shenanigans by all the George Soros bought and paid for State Secretary of States around the county. My only complaint about Trump is while he has talked about the elections rigged by the Democrats but he hasn’t done much about it, although with the way Mitch McConnell has insisted on approving only Deep State tools to the President’s cabinet I can understand why.
But when the senile rapist, crook and Traitor Joe Biden without any evidence suggests that ” that Trump might not cede the presidency if defeated in the upcoming election” you jump to Biden’s defense. Are you some sort of nutcase anti-American hater who wants to destroy this country? What evidence is there of your claim?
I think the point was that so many journalists complained when Trump did it but not when Biden does it. You’re in agreement.
An old-fashioned blue dog Democrat ran for office in my part of Texas some years back. He lost the main election, thankfully, to a Republican.
But it made me think that most traditional, sensible, respectable Democrats probably live in areas dominated by Republicans, rather than in communities governed by the loony Left. Ergo, sensible Democrats are irrelevant unless they move to absurd communities and somehow charm the locals.
The Dems hope they win big in November before the anarchists eat them . . .
I also tend to think that Trump sees that the government is rigged against him and his agenda, and sees losing as not the worst thing in the world.
There was a precinct in Santa Ana that had 114% turnout in 2018.
And he is correct. That is why he relies on his family too much. VD Hansen sees him as a tragic figure in American history.
It is tragic that he is President now. If he wins, great.
If he loses, no one on earth could beat the cheating Dems. And we will all be the worse for his loss, no matter how we voted.
There have been miracles in the history of this country. I am praying for one in November. (actually I’m praying for one every day, but November is the cut-off)
It’s like the whole world is in some kind of weird cocoon and morphing into something else, not showing its new contours yet but surveys of people preferring Biden are just incredible to me. It would just show the power of propaganda if we end up with him. Very discouraging that cult thought would win over sanity, and that side can’t grasp that THEY are the ones who can’t accept the true and obvious case of foreign influence upon themselves.
I stopped believing in commercial polls years ago. And currently (1) people aren’t going to tell anyone that they are voting for Trump, and (2) the polls are boosted in Biden’s favor to explain the clear win that he will receive that is contrary to popular sentiment.
But today when Biden pushes such conspiracy theories where is the outrage?
I apologize to Hang On for misinterpreting his post.
That said though,

Democrats these days rig elections with regularity so one should not be rightfully outraged by Trump bring it up.
But they never seem to ask who is supporting and directing the anarchists. They will come for the “honorable” Dems immediately thereafter.
And what did the party do about it? Nada?
Polls usually oversample Democrats to achieve the desired result.
But there are people posting on this site that they prefer Biden.
