I don’t know how people on this thread are calling the result with so much confidence when every US and global political pundits are saying it’s too close to call 😎. Personally, I think it’s really (albeit educated) guess work and some wishful thinking thrown in based on politically biased stories doing the rounds on X and Fb, skewed betting odds and unreliable polling - I think I will stick to what I don’t know and that is who will win this election 🙂
Interesting article in the Guardina about polling

Trump odds-on at Betfair exchange for both states. Silly to listen to people saying they’re 99% sure given the market.
You understand what’s happening with the betting patterns?

I find it odd that people think betting (which Republicans are being pushed to do massively, for obvious reasons) is a better indicator of what’s happening than actual factual turnout and voting patterns (ie what’s actually happening!)

Someone saying they’re 99% sure of something would put their view of the odds at 1/100. Harris is 6/4. It’s a silly, exaggerated Twitter claim no matter what’s going on.

It would be reasonable to argue Harris should be the favourite given the evidence, though.

I assume that person has put a whole wedge on an implied 1.01 at 2.40 then - opportunity of a lifetime!

She could have had a go...maybe endorsing the one that isn't a narcissistic, autocratic, Putin loving, climate denier 🤦‍♂️
Yeah, I get that voting for the "lesser of two evils" isn't entirely satisfying. But if you think Harris isn't climate-friendly enough, the alternative is the actively climate hostile.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
