PredictIt has Biden at 61, The Orange Shitstain way down at 41. The betting pools are very often a more accurate predictor than the polls.

During the Democrat debates, in the beginning, pretty much all of the contenders were ahead of trump by two digits.

Polls are not even entertaining for me. They are the iron pyrite (fools gold) of gold mining.

Orange Shitstain's approval rating plunges in 500 counties with surging coronavirus cases
President* continues to lose support in parts of the country where Covid-19 is rapidly spreading

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a9604456.html

Quote:
According to Pew Research Centre, the dip in support transcended party lines and voting blocs, with an almost-equal split among Democrats and Republicans. Men and women, as well as college graduates and non-graduates, were also reportedly unified in their newfound disapproval of the president* — particularly in counties facing a rise in coronavirus infections.

What blows my mind is the supporters willing to bet their lives on tRump. Then there is this one forever tRumper who does seem to have a sense of self-preservation.

Going around without a face mask is no more "gambling with your life" than hopping into a car is. Sheesh.

Life is risk. A life lived in fear is a life half lived.

Actually, life lived in fear is what is saving the lives of millions of senior citizens as this point. Also, medical professionals have stated over and over that masks save lives. So who should I believe, medical professionals, or you and Trump? And the corona virus has killed THREE TIMES the number of people killed in auto accidents in the US on an annual basis, and has done so in just 1/3 year or so. So yes, it is way more "gambling with your life" than getting in a car.
You really need to quit watching FOX. It is known to make people stupid.

This ascribing of 'a life lived in fear' to mask-wearers is such ripe bullshit. Don't live in fear, not a bit, masks make me feel happy! Sorry for the people who live too much in fear of being 'Trumpally incorrect' to wear them.

As Clint Eastwood once said, 'Dying ain't much of a living, boy!'

In this instance gambling with one's life would be following the lead/advice of the liar-in-Chief, believing what he says about Covid-19.
When you wish upon a star learn to live with it where you are.

Masks make me feel like I can't breathe.

And you are more guaranteed to die if you don't wear a mask than you are guaranteed to die if you don't put on a seatbelt in a commercial airliner.

People that wear masks are living in fear. But I will defend their right to do so because this is a free county. But I'm also free to laugh inside at them.
