How can the Presidential race possibly be tied?
22 October 2024
This a great post by Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor. Our job is to spend the next 2 weeks doing what we can to get Harris elected. Whatever we have done already, we should try to do a little more. Here are some possibilities:
Make sure the young adults in your life have a voting plan
Do something positive - don't just stew over the news
Getting a little more involved
I also believe we need to Stay away from Evil by doing what we can to reduce the influence of Murdoch, Musk and Trump’s other major supporters by not giving them our money or attention:
Here is the introduction to the Robert Reich blog:
How the hell can the race be tied?
Two weeks before an election in which America should be sending Trump home (and then to jail), he and Harris are in a statistical tie in the battleground states.
Friends,
With two weeks to go before Election Day, Kamala Harris and Donald J. Trump are essentially tied. Neither candidate is ahead by even a single point in The New York Times’s polling average of five critical battleground states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and North Carolina).
How the hell is this possible? Even if polls were systematically off and Harris were actually ahead of Trump by, say, 5 percent, I’d still be appalled that so many Americans in swing states were supporting Trump.
