I think it was Quebecer Jacques Parizeau who famously stated 'Idiots decide elections.'

He took a lot of flack for the comment, but wasn't far off. You've got the left and right entrenched camps, and the clueless goofballs in the middle decide the outcome.
I think this is what Parizeau actually said: “We are beaten, it is true,” he said. “But by what, basically? By money and ethnic votes.” And this: "“It is not healthy in a society such as ours that groups, particularly when they come from specific cultural communities, vote 95 percent in the same direction. That is what I tried to underline. The words were too strong, but the reality does not change.”

Nothing about extreme left or right or clueless goofballs, for that matter.

I was in Quebec the night of the referendum, and although Parizeau denied it, he was plastered.

I could have sworn Parizeau was quoted as saying that idiots decide elections. Must be my early-onset dementia or somethin.

Anyhoo, I clearly believe that the left wing media is calling this a close race because they want Kamala to win. Reality though...I think Trump should take this handily.
