It's hard being on the Right. I'm not complaining because I know I'm 'right' on the Right but man, it's freaking hard. We don't have legacy media, big tech, Hollywood, or even many pollsters on our side - we don't just have to beat the Democrat in an election, we have to beat the machine. And while we definitely have a more even playing field on social media thanks to Elon Musk, we're still up against so much that even when we have the obvious momentum, even when it's clear as day that the Democrat's candidate is a giant, unlikeable, unpopular sack of SUCK, we still have to worry.
We still have to expect last minutes 'surprises' and of course the whole 'fortification' of our elections. Oh, and ridiculous polls that claim Kamala will win Iowa.
Don't even get me started.

I've already written about how stupid this poll is and how she's done this before but I wanted to write my VIP about this as well.
Oh, she posted this earlier this morning.
Iowa Poll: Democrats are preferred over Republicans in 2 of 4 congressional districts https://t.co/BV0HZKeJYA via @DMRegister

Every other poll has Trump up double digits in Iowa. Hell, Kamala hasn't been in Iowa because it's not a state Democrats think they can win, so what the Hell?
I'll tell you 'what the hell'.
Democrats are scared. If polls are showing Trump up a couple of points or tied with Kamala, he's way ahead because WE KNOW the polls almost always lean Left. Fox News can do a poll and it will still be Democrat-heavy. It's just how it is. Whether that's because more Democrats are unemployed and home answering their phones when the pollsters call or what, the reality of any poll is that it's biased.
So does her cute little poll showing Harris up by three points matter? No. Oh sure, legacy media will form a circlejerk and pretend this is proof that there is last-minute momentum for Harris but it won't discourage Republicans from voting and ultimately that's what this is really about. A suppression poll. These assholes do it so often people were already talking about what it would be over the weekend.
And Selzer was more than happy to do her duty.
Don't let them scare you, don't let them make you feel hopeless, don't let them make you stay home ... vote.
And win.
