C. Force and of course the clock is ticking away before those polls begin to open but the messaging hasnt really changed very much what have the candidates also been saying. Oh youre right it hasnt changed much in the last few days but its very clear that what americans have is a stark choice between 2 different candidates and their vision for how they see america moving forward and both are painting this election in the result of this vote as potentially an existential threat to the future of the United States when it comes to donald trump he is trying to paint an apocalyptic picture of a biden presidency saying that he would raise american taxes and destroy jobs on the part of joe biden the democratic candidate he is making the argument that its literally a choice between life and death that the handling of donald trump with this pandemic could cost even more american lives so this is the choice that americans are faced with and theyre watching very carefully as these candidates crisscrossing some of these battleground states because what were learning increasingly is as weve seen in 2016 it will see again likely in 2020 that the american vote could be decided by talking a very narrow margin and by a handful of american stings of course completely you know everybody is very nervous about this the authorities Civil Society and local authorities and what were seeing or were hearing about certain areas being protected and boarded up whats going on.
