Donald Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

“Trump’s anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going—and whether they think he’ll win,” Axios reported.

    … isn’t the downvote button explicitly meant to voice your disagreement with something?

    I don’t understand why people complain about downvotes. If you don’t want to see them, join an instance where they’re disabled (like mine).

      A lot of people try to say you should only down vote poor quality comments that don’t contribute to the discussion.

      If every one downvotes opinions they disagree with you just have a homogeneous echo chamber.

      Personally, I don’t think there’s any point complaining about it. You can’t hold back that tide.

      Honestly I think users on Lemmy are from a very narrow demographic, and to be blunt a lot of users just don’t have a very broad life experience. That being the case I think anyone should expect to have some opinions which are unpopular with other lemmy users.

      Its not that they “disagree” with it per se, its that they want it to not be the case.

      Down voting statements of fact because they make you feel uncomfortable is what is actually happening. If they were willing to step in and make or defend an argument; thats a separate case. Lemmy just knee-jerk downvotes things that it doesn’t want to be true.
