Harris is going to win just like my Oregon Ducks did today on the road in Michigan to stay the number one team in the country.
After a 38-17 road win over the reigning national champions, Dillon Gabriel smiled and looked down when asked about the gravity of the moment: Oregon is the first team to defeat Michigan and Ohio State in the same season since Michigan State did it in 2015.

Since I know that it is unlikely there will b much if any reporting if/when Harris wins, about why it happened I just want to point out that the true cause for her winning should be placed on how Trump and his campaign hadled things this past week. If you're trying to win the Hispanic/Latino vote you don't do it by deeply offending an entire race of them (Puerto Rican's) by calling their home nation (a US Territory by the way) an Island of garbage. As was done by one of the speakers at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. If you want to win the female vote you don't do it by telling them you are going to do something invoving them whether they like it or not, even if that thing on the surface seems like a good thing. Especially if you're already to blame for the worst thing that has happened to them in recent history (loss of reproductive rights).
Both these groups were key and critical for Trump to get on his side in order to win the election and had he not pushed them away thru unforced errors it would have been a much closer race that Trump might have won. It also didn't help that these unforced errors were the result of Trumps inability to admit his mistakes and his insistance on a campaign based on spitr, retribution and xenophobic attitudes.
It was this inability to admit mistakes and/or course correct when it's obvious he's doing things people don't like or approve of that has had me against Trump from almost the beginning. I didn't like it when he won the election in 2016 and didn't vote for him. Not because of some irrational hatred (Trump Derangement Syndrome). I didn't vote for him because he had a well established history of being a terrible businessman and therefore I didn't feel he was likely to be a good President. Still he won the election fairly as far as anyone knows and so I had to accept him as President. I even gave him enough benefit of the doubt that in the early days of hs Presidency I defended him when the mainstream media was overly critical of him. However he quickly lost my willingness to give him the benefit of the doubt as it quickly became apparent he had no clue how to get things he wanted to do, done, in an effecctive and legal way. Like one of his key promises of enacting a Muslim ban which he failed at three times. Also while I opposed his desire to repeal and replace ObamaCare he failed at that because he failed to come up with a reasonable replacement first, which was the only reason McCain voted against it causing his best chance at repealling to fail. Just before McCain was hospitalized for Beain Cancer he made it known publically that he would vote against any attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act if they didn't come up with a suitable replacement first. Had Trump managed to get that done McCain likely would have voted in favor of it. Even if it wasn't as good as the ACA. It was mistakees like that and so many other things that he failed at which proved to me and many others that Trump was in way over his head playing President. He's only gotten worse since.

Never underestimate the stupidity and gullability of the voting public, this election scares the hell out me. Could be the end of democracy as we know it.
I will vote on Election Day as I always have. I can wait for the winner to be announced. I will be most thankful for the end of the constant political ads.
We shall see.
We shall see.

America is going to choose the accelerationist option once again.
Fucking idiots, neoliberal republican governance, deregulation and public "education" achieved what lead paint and leaded gasoline did in past generations. Half our population is functionally retarded.
