Make sure to register to vote. Deadlines are fast approaching in many states
Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online
Write letters to voters in swing states or in competitive downballot races
It makes sense that they would lie about polls, since they lie about everything else. I’m curious to know how much they’re damaging their own numbers by lulling their morons(supporters) into a false sense of security.
Every time a poll showing Harris in the lead gets posted here, there’s a conversation about how polls are there to trick you into getting complacent and staying home, and pointing to 2016 and Hillary losing due to dems not turning out. But historically, this is the far more common tactic. Skewed polls that show your side winning have a tendency to encourage your supporters, discourage your opponents, and exert a little influence on the undecided through the bandwagon effect.
As an aside, the article points out the close coordination between Elon’s PAC and the Trump campaign. But, correct me if I’m wrong here, isn’t that illegal? Isn’t the one rule of massive limitless money being dumped into the political machine like this that you have to at least pretend like you aren’t coordinating your efforts? Not that anyone would do anything about it anyway…
PACs are essentially allowed to do whatever they want, thanks to the Citizens United ruling. Once they shift money from the PAC funds to the candidate is when you may have issues. As it stands now, these PACs are just volunteer organizations, which is horseshit.
Wouldn’t put it past them, but they need to keep the momentum up all the same.
Voted yesterday. Remember kids: vote early, vote often
