1) Everyone is totally engaged in a debate over whether or not Donald Trump is a "fascist." Maybe he is.

It's important to keep in mind that the oligarchs are going to win in a landslide regardless of the voting.
Either way, we are going to get a pro-Wall Street, anti-working class, Republican president. Which is why this is the least important election of your lifetime.

So at the risk of being waaayyyy wrong, I'm going to make some predictions.

The easiest call is that Trump will lose the national popular vote, again. Will leave it to others to project whether it will be by more or less than 2016 as I haven't focused on that aspect.

We've hit the point where you have to basically lobotomize yourself and ignore almost every single verifiable fact in order to pretend that our democracy is minimally functional and that the political system is even a vague reflection of the public will. ~ David Sirota

WATCH: Convoy of Trump supporters’ trucks surrounds Biden-Harris campaign bus to ‘escort it out of Texas’, 1 Nov, 2020;   Trump Tweets ‘I love Texas!’

I saw this comment in Moon of Alabama today. I think tomorrow is going to be a shitshow.
