When people do **** that seems odd, generally their behavior can be tracked down, ultimately, to some kind of logic. Even if we don't agree with the logic, we can at least recognize that a chain of thought lead to a series of actions that would hopefully result in a desired outcome.
So with that in mind, I ask myself what the "end game" is for the democrats if in fact Trump is just going to epic landslide this election. If that is truly the case, they MUST know it. They must know if their polling is as flawed and biased as many of us suspect. So, if they KNOW Biden is going to get his *** kicked, why continue the narrative that he's winning. Indeed, winning handily across the nation?
On one hand, to say Biden is up 9 or 10 points only to sit and watch him get utterly destroyed, causing untold pain and anguish for the relatively few supporters he has seems cruel and frankly masochistic. What purpose does it serve to mislead Biden supporters to think he's killing it and will win easily?
On the negative side, you risk encouraging people to actually NOT vote for Joe as they assume he's got it in the bag.
Now, one could argue that the hope is that Trump supporters will see the polls and be discouraged to vote since Joe's clearly "got this". But I don't think ANYBODY believes that Trump supporters aren't going to make every possible effort to vote and support their candidate. One thing Tibs is right about is that Trump supporters are passionately loyal. They WILL vote. And polls don't mean **** to them.
So, where's the upside to misleading people about how far ahead Joe is? Where's the logic?
The only thing I can think of is a "fallback" position if/when Biden loses. They will say "He was SO FAR AHEAD in the polls and then lost. The republicans CHEATED!" That will bring us back to another 4 years of ******* Russia Russia Russia.
The ONLY thing I can see that makes sense is either that Joe REALLY Is leading in the hearts of the American people (I find that hard to believe given the stark contrast between the two candidates' rallies) OR that the democrats are simply posturing for epic whine-fest 2.0.
