At this point I’ve fully accepted that the echo chambers and the algorithms have kept any of us from truly knowing what’s going on during elections. Each side will be fed what they want to hear until things are fully called.
I think things look really good for Trump, but who the f knows?

honestly why would they feel confident?
they have no data to back that up. it favors R's across the country

I would think Trump supporters would hope that voter turnout would be lower than 2020 or that third party votes would return to 2016 levels.
Neither of them appear to be happening.

What data shows you the Democrats are confident? The only data we have are from these states

Reading this board will make you truly believe Trump will win by 20+ electoral votes or else “fraud.”

That’s what worries me.
They know something. Or at least they think they do.

All the people I've been listening to from the leftist cable networks sound very, very unsure of themselves and like they're laying the groundwork for being extremely disappointed with the outcome.
I pray to God that my "reading of the room" is correct.

I want to steel man this argument. Why do democrats feel confident? I have numbers backing up my confidence.
Posted on 11/5/24 at 2:33 pm to Ryne Sandberg
I promise you that only one side is feeling confident right now.

LOL...listening to Cory Booker right now and he's saying indicating that he's almost prepared make the call for Cumala tonight.

As a person who spends too much time in Democrat-leaning online spaces, I've noticed two main groups of Harris supporters:
First, there are delusional people high on copium who are convinced that there's a groundswell of women who are lying about voting for Trump but secretly "canceling" out their husbands' votes and Kamala is going to get an overwhelming victory.
Second, there are a lot of people who are nervous as hell and admit that they don't know what will happen but seem ultra-focused on everything that could go wrong for their side. They do everything but cuss out anyone who starts a thread based on positive news or polling for the Democrats and flood the comments with "This doesn't matter!!! Vote!!! Don't get complacent like we did in 2016!"

Well the only facts we know are ALL the media are propaganda machines and lying mouthpieces for the left. Hard data seems to lead to Trump doing well.

Yep.

Based off of the limited returns we have, the Left has no reason to be confident other than optimism

I'll wait to see, but this has the potential of really exposing a lot of things.
Potentially, the media would have misled the public the ENTIRE WAY even in the face of verifiable data. Potentially millions of votes would have disappeared since 2020. Lots of questions to be asked and answered.
