Hi y'all! A Finn here, trying to better understand the US political landscape.
ABC News recently reported that PA is the tipping point of this election in nearly 1 in 5 simulations. Simultaneously 538 puts Harris ahead by a razor thin margin, 0.8 percentage points.
Those of you who haven't made up your minds yet, I'd love to hear from you!
What are the key issues that you are still considering? Is your decision on who to vote for or rather whether to vote at all? What kind of an event would push you to make a decision?
For full transparency, I am a journalist and I cover the US election for the Finnish audience. However, my main goal with this post isn't to find interviewees (if it happens, it's a plus) but just better understand the situation on the ground.
Thanks a ton in advance!
JD Vance or Tim Walz?
About 896,000 Dem ballots have been sent out.
380,000 Rep and 152,000 Ind ballots.
Dems are going to lock in tons of votes before election day.

Which say that the CONVICTED FELON will be better on crime than the former Attorney General.
Which say that a failure who has filed for BANKRUPTCY more times than he's run for POTUS would be better for the economy than someone who hasn't filed for bankruptcy.
I find it ODD that people believe dumb*** lies.
Anyone else?
JD Vance rally in PA today.
I know about DePasquale. What about Dave Sunday? I don't see any in depths analysis of him or his record or his background. Just his own bio on his website ...
Anyone know? Is he moderate R? Extreme?
Cornel West is already on the Ballot in 40 states and he needs our help to qualify in Pennsylvania!
Quote from Cornel today:
“While we’ve made great strides, with Dr. West and Dr. Abdullah now officially on the Louisiana ballot and eligible for 493 electoral votes, we face unprecedented challenges. No other presidential campaign in U.S. history has encountered as many hurdles to ballot access as ours.
This demonstrates how vital your support is as we turn our focus to securing a place on the ballot in Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state.”
MAGA money is becoming a huge problem.
I've read they can go out 50 days before election, which is Tuesday. Are ballots actually going to be mailed so early?
