Everything you see about the presidential election is wrong. It’s simply too early to call.

This is why the work in the trenches is done. The getting out the vote, the marketing and advertising, the cold calling, the surveys and donation solicitation… it’s all necessary to win an election. Think about it: campaigns wouldn’t spend money if it didn’t yield a return on investment. And spending has skyrocketed.

This is also an unprecedented election:

Donald Trump, the Republican nominee is convicted of multiple felony charges
Joe Biden, the (eligible) incumbent drops out of the race (only the 2nd time this has ever happened)
Kamala Harris secures enough Democratic Party delegates within 2 days
The former president is shot and survives an assignation attempt
Both major party candidates select unexpected Vice Presidential picks for their respective tickets
RFK Jr. (the first major third party candidate since the 2000 election) drops out and endorses Trump
Highly publicized wars in Ukraine and Gaza rage throughout this whole time

It’s Friday September 6th. There are 60 days until the voting booths close on November 5th. What else will happen until then? Any pundits who prophesize the outcome with confidence are delusional. There’s been nothing like this before, and we can only predict the outcome with heavy uncertainty.

Your vote, the most important responsibility you have as a free citizen, still matters.
