Im sick of politics but even more than that Im sick of the media colluding to alter the perceptions of the public. If you listened to media reports, for example, youd think everyone hates Trump and is super enthusiastic about Biden. Youd read claims that Biden crushed Trump in the ratings again! and on and on. Regardless of your politics, none of this is true. Its simply not the case borne out by the actual facts (look at crowd sizes at rallies, for one thing).
Here, for example, are the total social media fans and followers of each candidate for president as of today, Oct. 20, 2020, on four of the major social media platforms:
Biden Facebook: 3.23 million fans, Trump Facebook: 30.34 million fans Biden Instagram: 5.1 million, Trump Instagram: 22.7 million
Biden Twitter: 11.2 million, Trump Twitter: 87.3 million ' Biden YouTube: 341,000 subscribers, Trump YouTube: 1.44 million subscribers
Total Biden: 19.87 million, Total Trump: 141.78 million
In other words, Trump has 7.14 times as many fans and followers on just these social channels alone as Biden does. Promoted Content

Like in 2016, that tells the story.

Offal like that is just what I DO NOT want from my broker or my banker.

Oh, and just as Trump supporters won't give honest answers to pollsters on the phone, they most certainly won't give honest answers with exit polls where people standing around will hear them. Much of the election night projections are based on exit polls so that is something that needs to be kept in mind.
