2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe 3 most significant events barring surprises are the two remaining debates and the October jobs #
The combined impact of these three are likely to determine the election. However, there is still much to be done by everyone here. Checking the polls every minute is not particularly useful, unless it motivates one to work harder for the President. For many, having so much poll data is counterproductive: if the President is strongly leading, it may convince some to think it's "in the bag" and unconsciously slack off in one's commitment to help, if the polls are looking poorer, it may cause others to get discouraged. The best way to deal with the election, is to work for electing the President and progressives as if the winner is unknown, since the only polls that really count are the official ones where real votes are counted.

(47,675 posts)They couldn't keep the Obama cups in stock, but the rMoney cups were moving at a glacial pace. When you combine the sales of stereotype masks of one candidate with complimentary masks of the other and compare them to the opponent, it's been a very reliable predictor. I know it sounds funny, but get your Fawkes mask while they last!
