Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

At this point no one should care about polls.
it's going to be like reagan and mondale, the WH are helping the BH put out that it's a close race. another way to short circuit the cheat.
I refuse to believe it's legitimately that close.
Just look at the rallies. That is the truth of how people feel and what they want.
Me, too! POTUS 93% Kamala 3%
Got to make it look close so the steal seems real!
I do not trust mainstream media polls. I just look around and let reality tell the truth. There are only about 3 or 4 people in my small suburban town in Texas with a Harris/Walz sign in their yard, but yet there are hundreds of houses with Trump/Vance signs up. When traveling to some very liberal areas such as Austin and Houston, I do see an increase in Harris/Walz signs, but still the Trump/Vance outnumbers the Harris/Walz signs all day long. I have close friends and family who live in Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina, who all agree Trump is landsliding over Harris all day & everyday in their State. They say it is not even close. Trump is way ahead there too. I believe them. They have nothing to gain by lying. They are just simply telling me exactly what they are seeing in their home state. Look around your home state and you will likely see that too. Legacy media polls are designed to destroy the morale of the opponent, nothing else. When there is a poll online, I participate. Even those polls are likely skewed some, but the ones I have been able to participate in show Trump far ahead of Harris. Televised polls are nothing but rigged political gimmicks.
I have friends and family in Arizona, North Carolina, and Nevada, and Idaho who are seeing Trump vastly outnumber Harris. Ask around from your friends and loved ones in other states. Get their input. Polls on television don't mean a thing. It's the reality of what is going on outside of the television polls that speak volumes. For instance, the large gatherings for Trump voters at rallies versus the insignificant numbers at a Harris event, Trump voters outnumber Harris voters at all public events, and this has been shown over and over even in battleground states. Harris has not been able to pull in the crowds that Trump does in battleground states. The polls on television are fake. Reality trumps television polls. We outnumber the dems by far.
