yeah but what about the Kids' Electoral College?
I don't know.🤷

Obviously no disrespect to you, but just reading that title gave me the urge to pick up smoking.
Glad to hear she's polling well with a demographic that is 0% of the voting population.
But I wonder how many of them are just parroting what their parents are saying.
I've long had the opinion that the kids that vote in this are a reflection of what their parents are talking about, which helps to explain its apparent accuracy.
The mock election that started in 1988 has accurately predicted the winner each time, save for 2004 and 2016
well the first one was blatantly stolen in front of the whole god damn country so I don't actually think that that's a knock against the poll's accuracy, buuuut the fact that 2016 was also an outlier and that this race has strong 2016 vibes gives me pause.

"Mom, I'm gonna vote!"
"On what?"
"On the presidential election!"
"Really? Show me."
TIRED: electoralism (winning the kids' choice poll)
WIRED: direct action (snagging a glowing piece of that radical rock)
fortnite collab paying off
Unlimited radicalization on Amerikkkan SSetler kkkids.
Still probably more predictive than that goober who rambles about the keys to the whote house or whatever
yikes
Were those the only options given to them? 
not content with making illegal immigrants vote to falsify the elections, democrats are now also forcing kids to participate in voter fraud!
