I wasinformation in Orlando, and my former conservative sister-in-law is voting for Biden and her husband abstained. This isn't a good sign. I realize it's anecdotal, but there is a ton of misinformation out there, and I think there are a sizable amount of independents that just want things to return to normal, and I think they think that voting for Biden will do that. I don't really pay attention to the polls (because I think they are wrong). I try to watch for trends I see happening in different circles. Right now, it seems like Biden has a secret swell of support. I hope I'm wrong.

An interesting thing Edward Snowden said about elected officials and journalism....

"The attempts by elected officials to delegitimize journalism have been aided and abetted by a full-on assault on the principle of truth. What is real is being purposefully conflated with what is fake, through technologies that are capable of scaling that conflation into unprecedented global confusion."

It would be foolish for anyone to dispute this because it's obviously true.
