"There's no question about it. It's close here in North Carolina," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

    It’s close and Team Trump are working hard to exploit that. They have legal teams working around the clock finding ways to ratfuck this election.

    Fucking vote like your life depends on it, because if you’re like me, it literally does.

    The changes Trump wants to make will make me lose access to my healthcare and succumb to my cancer. My medications are $18k+ a month without insurance.

    I don’t even really like Harris, but I like being alive.

    I know, Palestinian kids like being alive, too, but we’ve made fuck-all headway on that issue in a year, and as sad as it is to say, Trump would just help Netanyahu wipe Palestine off the map, so Harris is the only realistic choice I’ve got. I have cancer, it’s not like I can personally swoop in and save Gaza. Sorry.

        Cheers, mate. It’s a contentious issue and I can understand people feeling all kinds of ways about like they’re voting to support a genocide. I feel that way, too… but I’m also keenly aware how much worse Trump and Republicans are on the same issue.

          It’s an issue that, really has nothing to do with Americans or this election and yet ppl like you keep interjecting the topic in every thread as if screeching genocide is going to turn anyone into a single issue voter…smh.

          In a 2 party system Harris is Palestines best chance at still existing.

          Full stop.

          Now you.

      No, not directly, but if Trump loses NC’s electoral votes, it will be very difficult for him to get to 270. It may be the most R-leaning state of all the toss-ups, so if he loses that he’ll need to make up ground in the other states that are not as friendly to him.

          He shouldn’t be so sure that he’ll win Florida in this election cycle, either. Not to mention the congressional seats are pretty wishy-washy.

              FL also has recreational weed and abortion rights on their ballot this election. I’m not necessarily holding my breath, but those could help push their left-leaning voter turnout.

              Harris winning Texas is a very unlikely event, as much as I’d like to see it. I’d be happy if exit polling is ~Trump +1, and they can’t call the state before midnight. A narrow Trump victory would still change the national conversation around Texas significantly
