    I love how the only time @return2ozma@lemmy.world gets a positive subject rating is only if its towing the line info (not that its not factual, some times with a bad title) but the other posts where they make great points or even just reporting other facts, and they downvote them into the ground.

    I wouldn’t say giving Harris a 50.4 percent chance of winning is predicting her to win. That’s effectively a coin toss.

      yeah, I really hate seeing these types of articles during elections. some will skim past it and go “well, its cool. I don’t need to vote, she got it” and that kind of lazyness is how elections are lost.

        That’s the whole point. America’s plutocracy — who own most of the media — want a fascist dictatorship. They’ve been financing and amplifying Trump the entire time.

        What more could a capitalist want than no competition, low/zero taxes, and not having to worry about the risk that democracy represents to their wealth and power…

    Vote. Pressure those around you to vote as well. I had to watch Gore lose, Hillary lose, we can’t keep doing this.

    This is extremely misleading. Most data-driven outlets are open about saying that a 51% chance of a Harris victory is essentially a coin flip.

    And the ones that are based off of gut feelings rather than data? They’re less than useless.
