Of course none of this matters as a Massachusetts voter. This state will go to Biden.

I have a similar situation - Alabama will go to Trump.

Remember though, the Dems care about running up the vote tallies in states where they're already winning, so they can win the popular vote while they lose the electoral vote. Like a football team that cares more about yards of offense than the score, or a futbol team that cares more about shots on goal than actual goals.


4 months to go. We will see how senile Biden gets.
