Brutal New Poll Shows Trump Losing Big to Biden, Even With Third Party Spoiler - Lemmy.world

Vote every time. Polls mean nothing. Vote.
Yep. Polls are getting less reliable anyway, because so many of them rely on landlines, and some segments of the population are less likely to respond to surveys than others.
Which is telling, because the land line polls tend to over inflate Conservative voices, and it still has Trump losing in a landslide.
Overinflating conservatism in the US is par for the course. See: the three-fifths compromise and the electoral college.

The electoral college isn't bad per se, it's just been allowed to become bad in a way that hints at a deeper issue.

Notably that the House has not been expanded in 100 years, even as the population has expanded, and two states have been added.

We need to un-cap the house and get it to the point where it's actually representative again. Doing so would take a single act of congress.

Allow me to evangelize the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which aims to bypass the Electoral College and elect the president by popular vote.
Which still doesn't fix the problem with the House not being representative.
