That poll putting Trump ahead of Biden in all the major battleground states sure looks terrifying, but there’s never been an election more clouded by the unknown than this one.

A week after Halloween and the scary monsters are still abroad in the land.

Scary polls!

Scary plans!

Boogedy, boogedy!

It was a great weekend for intellectual doomscrolling, to say nothing of galloping paranoia. First, The New York Times comes out with a poll that shows the president is trailing Fulton County (Ga.) Inmate No. PO1135809 in all the major battleground states.

      Why would you care about that? That doesn’t decide the election. Anyway, he lost that by 4.5% (7 million votes). Biden’s percentage (51.3%) was the highest for a challenger to an incumbent president since 1932. Trump got completely stomped.

      I will never understand the proclivity to just make numbers and shit up when the sum of all human knowledge is at your finger tips.
