I consider myself a proud liberal. My Dad was sailing buddies with WM F Buckley so I know what a conservative is or should at least aspire to be. I been reading and listening to Charley and the Bulwark now for a couple years and it has reinforced my cautious optimism . I need to understand something and maybe you can help me.

I read the polls that say the presidential race is neck and neck. I’m having trouble with the math.

How does 1/3 to 1/2 of one of our two political parties constitute a majority or even a plurality in this race.

84+ million folks voted for Biden last time around. I doubt that any of them have changed their minds. I also don’t think that Trumps “grievance tour” has done

Much to win over independents or moderate ( normie) Republicans.

Make no mistake, if the point of this narrative is to shake the complacency out of our electorate then that’s fine, carry on. But isn’t there some sort of algorithm filter for the white noise generated every time Trump opens his mouth?
