A lot of DUers were absolutely certain the polls were way off and hiding some BIG advantage for Harris.

Hell, I myself thought Harris was doing better than the polls. Not definitely sure of that, but I thought it possible.

Even then, however, I thought if the polls were off it would be honest errors in how pollsters modeled the electorate, not the conspiratorial crap so many people here were spewing.

Anytime anyone posts a poll, you can count on a dependable chorus of "Ignore the polls!", "Bullshit!", "They just want ratings!", "They're trying to demoralize us and suppress turnout!".
