It’s exhausting to stay “enthusiastically” ticked off at someone for all these years. ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > I am firmly in the “Harris will win and it won’t be as close as last time” camp, but the anti-Trump enthusiasm is also not as high. That’s fair and it’s probably inevitable because the guy is not in office right now and some people might have short memories. But, I think positive enthusiasm is better than negative. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think that leads to more turnout. Because when you’re motivated by negativity, that motivation can quickly lead to despair which kills the motivation. ---

I am pleasantly surprised that there is less doom and gloom expectation here as I thought. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > Trump is, if nothing else, practically _infernally_ gifted in getting people to hate Yes, but that includes people who hate _him_. And that hate will lead to his loss. (Personally, I think Harris is eminently capable of doing the job, and there are lots of good reasons to vote _for_ her, but this election is going to be a referendum on Trump, just like 2020) ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Harris will win the popular vote. > Trump will win the EC vote, by hook or by crook. Pretty much my feeling. I had a dream last night in which Trump had a heart attack. He didn’t die but his obvious ill health was clearly going to swing the election to Harris. And I remember feeling relief in my dream as I realized the crisis had been averted. ---

This thread is about “who do you think” will win the election, not who you want to win the election. The fact that so many people here don’t have a real grasp on how politics are played is why the SDMB has such a lopsided view of the world. ---
