Waiting in line to vote in a solidly blue state.
How bad do people want Trump gone? There is an early voting location in my neighborhood, in an art center.
For about 10 days they have had early voting , and when I have gone by there a few times in those 10 days the parking lot has been pretty full.
I took this picture about an hour ago, as people wait in line to vote three days now before the election.
The art center is the red building at the back left of the photo, so you can how long the line was ( maybe 50 people or so outside the building. )
My point is this. Chicago and Illinois are safe for Biden, he will probably win the state by 15 points. And there are no hot races locally either, Sen. Durbin is up for re-election but he is more of a lock here than Biden is.
And yet all these people voting early. This neighborhood , by the way is also Biden territory. My precinct voted about 80% for Hillary Clinton in '16.
And yet, people are so anxious to get rid of Trump they come out and stand in line, on a chilly day (upper 30's) in order to vote in a city and a state where the result is not in doubt.
Good sign for Biden nationally, I would think.

Dump Trump Tuesday.
Kudos to these people.
Unless all the polls are completely wrong, Trump faces a humiliating defeat. But then was 'winning' ever Trump's objective?
Trump isn't running for president but for führur. He has stated repeatedly that he will accept no election outcome that goes against him. Were we not completely disoriented, this would be connected directly to 1860 when 11 Southern states refused to accept the election of Abraham Lincoln. After the exposure of a nation-wide plot to kidnap and assassinate Governors, after police refuse to enforce bans against open carry weaponry in polling stations, the media and nominal opposition continue to bury this and pretend that it's 'business as usual.'
Ya'll 've been warned.
That's sounds a little dramatic. I don't think there is a state in the country that would secede because Trump loses the election.
The point is not that states or regions will withdraw from the union; the point is that a Biden victory will not be recognized.
The threat is that Trump's refusal to step down will provoke huge demonstrations which will be brutally repressed by a massive police/National Guard/militia response and possible arrests/executions of political opponents. This effectively overthrows the constitution and implements a personalist, presidential dictatorship. Trump is an anarchist. So are many of his opponents.
The only ones that will not recognize a Biden presidency are the far left loons that want to install marxist Warren as soon as possible.
Why do you think Pelosi formed her 25th amendment "commission"?
It wasn't for Trump.
You sure do have some wild hopes.
Too bad they will never come to fruition.
What I think is that you just described a totally non-serious ploy feigning principled opposition in the final weeks of an election campaign.
Who would have imagined that such a thing could happen! I'll return to gnawing rocks now.
'You sure do have some wild hopes.'
Don't recall thinking or saying that this was my hope. That was your own invention. Ditto for the following remark.
??
What an absurd proposition! You pretend that whatever you think is thereby constituted as ontologically correct. That assertion has no objective basis whatsoever. And people wonder why Marx, Engels, Lenin. et. al. so vigorously opposed subjective idealism!
Think of it as an admission of political illiteracy.
Could be....
Some say the unusually long lines are due to people social distancing. . .
That's probably true. The lines probably look a lot longer than they normally would. Also, to get most of the line in the shot, people shoot them in a way that tends to make the people look like they are all bunched up on each other, when they probably aren't.
