Even if this poll doesn't tell us that much considering we're over a year away from the election, look at a place like Nevada. +10 (well, minus 10 for us) is way outside the usual margin of error. Goddammit.

okay, but it doesn't help to demoralize the troops.

sun tzu wrote that one doesn' have to destroy the enemy, only their willingness to engage.

we can't be throwing the towel over here with still a year to go.

who do you want to win? figure it out, the support that team, don't demoralize it. jeezus fucking christ.

the last thing we need is a pity party.

here's a napoleon copypasta:

An army's effectiveness depends on its size, training, experience, and morale, and morale is worth more than any of the other factors combined.

here's an extra sun tzu copypasta:

When strong, avoid them. ***If of high morale, depress them.*** Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise.
