All signs point to this being an extraordinarily tight election. 5 or 10k votes in the right state could swing the whole thing.

I'd be incredibly surprised if there are even 100 people who:
- Don't know who The Washington Post editorial board would endorse
- Would change who they are voting for based on this lack of endorsement
But I could be wrong.

All elections ultiamtely come down to undecided swing voters. It's silly every-time, but you need to vastly lower your expectations for that kind of crowd. Yes, a cheesy dance number endorsing a candidate can be all that is needed to swing an entire election.
This is an issue with first past the post, but that's a much larger thing to tackle.

We’re in. Situation wheee one of the candidates routinely criticizes us and praises our enemies, and still pulls at about 42%. Rationality is not in evidence.

If this race is right, then whatever I thought about people was wrong.
Then again, I always wonder what the hell actually went through peoples minds in Nazi Germany.

If you think that the situation in the US is even remotely close to that of Nazi Germany, please for your own sake unplug from news for a long time until you regain perspective. We are nowhere close to that point. The idea is a lie being told to you by people who stand to profit from your fear, not based in reality in the slightest.

Given that Trump is financed by Miriam Adelson and bragged about moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the Golan Heights as Israel's territory, he would be a rather odd Nazi!
Moreover, he apparently failed with the Machtergreifung between 2016-2020, which was an exceptionally quiet, prosperous and peaceful period.
What is astonishing is that some newspapers try the trump-is-a-dictator tactic again, when most people see through it now.

After more than 60 years the Reductio ad Hitlerium is finally losing its power, heartening to see.

The reason is pretty damned simple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_the_economy,_stupid Or, as Bertolt Brecht put it, "Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral." The Democrats used to understand this but now they don't and that's why they are struggling.

The polls show Harris and Trump are neck and neck, but the only explanation for a Harris win is fraud?
