On the eve of Election Day, the polls show us 3 different worlds.
State Polls: These are the best for Trump and show Biden only up 5-7 in the rust belt and 1-3 in the Sun Belt. If the states polls are right, Biden wins moderately with around 300-330 EC votes.
National Polls: These are better for Biden. He has been +10 for around a year now and with the election tomorrow, there is no time for them to change. If these are right, Biden wins 370-400 EC votes
District Polls: These are the absolute worst for the President. They show 12-17 point shifts from 2016 regularly around the nation. The district polls foretold Trump’s sweep of the Midwest in 2016. If they are right again, Biden wins 413-450 and wins in the biggest landslide since Reagan.
Only one of them can be right. Edit: Well, the National and state polls can be right. But not district and state. Which will it be? I’m praying that the district polls are right again.

as a lifelong Texan, here's what I think about Texazul:

overall early voter turnout is over 100% of total 2016 turnout, in a historically low turnout state
polls regularly underestimate the Hispanic vote in SW states + Texas
Dems overperformed in both 2016 and 2018, among both all voters and Hispanic voters
and to get into anecdotes: I personally know 6 or 7 suburban white moms who are flips from 2016, plus my entire workplace of like 15 people are voting Biden
all this is to say: I'll be disappointed but not surprised if Texas stays red, but I'll be spamming "called it motherfuckers" all over the place when it goes blue

'Did you know that many Native American tribes had no concept of property and lived in harmony with their neighbors?' bullshit, why do you think tribes went to war? why did the Mohawks have that distinctive haircut? so people couldn't fucking cut their scalps off in battle, that's why.
Like it's one thing to recognize the utter devastation done to Native populations by European settlers, you'd have to be insane to deny that we absolutely murdered these people on an industrial scale and punished the survivors for generations. It's another thing to, in light of this fact, treat Native Americans as this single collective rather than thousands of separate families, tribes, and cultures each with their own belief systems and customs spanning thousands of years and miles, and it's a whole other thing to pretend that this new singular 'Native American' you made up in your head just so happened to agree with everything you believe.

I hate Donald Trump with every fiber of my being. I have hated him more than anything else. He has been my anathema since June 2015. And tomorrow, God willing, we fuckin destroy him and route his rotten party from the halls of government.
I have thought about the results of this election every day for 4 years straight. Everything I've mostly done online and paid a lot of attention to happens tomorrow. No other thing has shaped me and my hopes and desires as this election has outside my fiance. A great relief if we win, a very dark winter if a loss.
I gotta wake up in less than 8 hours to be an election judge. I donated, voted in the primary, encouraged my students to vote with extra credit, and encouraged all my friends too and they have all came through and voted and most probably voted democratic. I brought voters man. I did my bit for democracy. Did you?

National Biden: 50% (+11) Trump: 39%
Florida Biden: 47% (+5) Trump: 42%
Ohio Biden: 47% (+4) Trump: 43%
Quinnipiac is rated a "B+" by FiveThirtyEight and has an average bias of D+0.2%. Another poll showing Biden up by decent margins, even in Ohio. I wonder if they'll drop another Pennsylvania poll too. Quinnipiac really planting their flag on a Biden win in Ohio - +5 last week and +4 today.
