Vice President Kamala Harris's post-debate campaign visits to North Carolina and Pennsylvania to start of a "more aggressive" campaigning stage, her campaign said.
Doomers and bothsides-ers can fuck off. While you people keep bitching and moaning, the adults in the room are trying to make the world a better place.
Not great, so people should continue to apply pressure. And not just over Palestine, but over all MIC capture of our government. Otoh, this administration and hopefully Harris’ will continue it is one of the most union friendly in living memory and the FTC has been insanely active. If we’re lucky, we might even see the return of the CFPB as a legitimate and effective entity. So your characterization is beyond brain dead.
I’m a single-issue anti-genocide voter. My political ideal is a mashup of Library Socialism and Anarchism. The election can’t be subverted, it’s already been decided that Harris is winning.
you are going to be deeply disappointed when any number of things happens. Notably when you discover that israel probably isn’t just flagrantly committing genocide. When you discover other issues like climate change, and human rights abuse. Or like, nestle.
I can think of a few things that would spook you more than like 40,000 people dying. Notably the roughly 300,000 causalities in the russo-ukraine war that’s still ongoing.

there is already work being done to potentially subvert the will of the voters: see Georgia, i don’t have to explain this one, the board committee thing overseeing elections is trying to usurp total control over the certification of the votes.
yes, harris is already winning that’s how polling works. Unfortunately for you, polling is never perfectly accurate.
I like your root instance though. Real recognize real if you know what i mean.
I have been nothing but deeply disappointed with American politics for the entirety of my adult life.

That’s nothing new. More like par for the course with American elections.
What’s different this time is how many “moderate” Republicans are endorsing the Democrats.
The Democratic Party is over, they’re giving up on their left wing to chase anti-trump Republicans. After this election they might as well be the Democratic-Republicans ressurrected. One big neoliberal party with no real competition from the right or left.
Unfortunately for you, polling is never perfectly accurate.
Polling is accurate enough, everyone who was surprised that Trump took the presidency in 2016 was just insufficiently cynical about American politics.
I don’t need polling to see which way the wind is blowing, this election has been a done deal since Pelosi convinced Biden to drop out of the race. That itself being an event I predicted as the longshot that the Democrats would need all the way back in 2015 when the DNC started openly conspiring against Bernie.

yeah, that’s just politics, idk what you really expect it to do lol. It’s not going to do your homework, and it isn’t supposed to, it simply isn’t made for that. Global geopolitics are even more complicated and the potential ramifications are even more significant so we can’t even really begin to talk about those.
That’s nothing new. More like par for the course with American elections.
nothing new since 2020. And maybe 2016 with the russian interference, but that’s been pretty typical and not really subversion of democracy.
Maybe the bush V gore election, but that’s it really. Everything else has pretty much “worked as intended” except for that one apparent McCarthy plot but that never went anywhere.
What’s different this time is how many “moderate” Republicans are endorsing the Democrats.
they are moderate btw. That the reason they’re supporting dems. Normally they would be swing voters, but given the nature of this election, you would expect some percent of the republican voter base to push more democratic.

i don’t think the democratic party is over, i think you’re just either being wildly over dramatic here, or simply wrong about how the democratic party works. There is a substantial difference in the parties, that i simply do not have time to cover in this comment. See this thread
but TL;DR is that the left wing is a lot more nebulous than the right wing, which can make it very flexible in how it functions, which is good for general party cohesion. Unlike the republican party (again, see the previously linked thread)
it also seems like, and this is adding to those previous thoughts, that the left party is generally moving away from “SJW ideals” things like CRT and social inequality, which are still important, but just not actively being pushed through in any sort of legislation or anything, as we’re focusing more clearly on social aspects, things like abortion and queer rights, which are being targeted right now. But i think we will see a small shift going into the future with this as well, pushing more for “socially progressive ideals” rather than the previous “socially progressive governmental ideals” which i think are a bit iffy.
like to be clear, kamala is pushing hard for the independent moderate voter (which is at least 50% of the left party) and capturing a lot of the more moderate republican vote, which is going to be essential to the upcoming election strategy. It seems they think removing votes from republicans is probably going to be more valuable than insuring farther left voters (which are probably already voting for her anyway, since her ideals roughly align anyway) which on a few levels, makes a lot of sense. It also gives really strong social presence as well, just watch a rally that she’s done.
Polling is accurate enough, everyone who was surprised that Trump took the presidency in 2016 was just insufficiently cynical about American politics.
polling is really hard normally, and it’s even harder when talking about elections, because more often than not, elections are won by one or two percentage points. Polling has a margin of error of probably about < 5% which is going to make that pretty random by nature. This is also ignoring reliable data collection as well.

that’s a possibility, but i feel like that probably veers into the usual conspiratorial areas of things. As far as the polling and public sentiment goes, getting rid of biden probably saved this cycle. It’s certainly really stressed the republicans a lot, and will continue to do so even more in the future. I feel like bernie probably just wasn’t popular enough to win, certainly a beloved candidate, but idk if people would’ve genuinely voted him in. Maybe if he was the primary candidate, but they obviously didn’t pick him, to whatever consequence that had.

How’s Palestine going?

Cool. Tell all your Democrat friends that they can have my vote when they start doing the bare minimum and embargo arms sales to Israel.
i’ll be sure to tell them that once i’m convinced you aren’t a tankie trying to subvert the election.

it most definitely can be, see: 2020 election and the jan 6 plot (a video covering the excessive extents of jan 6th, it’s 3 hours long, and straight information)
