Cope harder dumbass.

All the polls this morning are that JD Vance outperformed this thing.

Actually, don’t cope. Turn on your fucking brain and see the threat for what it is. Pull your head out of your ass, strategize and make Kamala and Walz win in this upcoming election.

Lies about Walz performance last night do NOT help the cause.

More Americans like what JD Vance pulled last night on TV than you realize. That is the scope of the threat here.

I mean, am not arguing who did better, I will be honest I both did not watch it, and already voted.

As for what the threat is, I cannot see a significant difrence between Trump and Harris, and there is a real likelyhood Trump wins agian, but the cause for that is that the Dems keep lurching rightword and refuse to even consider trying to move to the left, so people stop approving of them and stop voting.

Agian I am not saying polls one way or the other, but the media fact check, no WatPo is right wing owned by a bilionare, the data they present may or may not be accurate on a case by case, and I would not be suprised if high approval was the turnout here.

Because the vast majority of “mainstream” news outlets are pro-corporate and pro-capitalism, making them center-right at best, yet they label them as left wing. The entire idea behind the site is Republican propaganda that was created to coerce the media into repeating their lies unquestioningly, lest they be labeled as “biased”.

Because they are losing the factual discussion with me here.

Polls from CBS and CNN confirm that JD Vance won the debate last night and that JD Vance is up huge in favorability.

They don’t like to see how unpopular liberal viewpoints really are. Or the reality of the American political system. But we need to push reality above all, we cannot afford to be complacent moving into this election.

MAGA uses it so suggest that every fact you throw at them is biased because an outlet may lean left, which the majority of the noteworthy ones do. My buddy is a maga guy and he even declares AP news and Reuters as liberal mainstream media.

Another popular tactic is to see who owns the company where the news is coming from. If there’s a single Democrat on the board of directors or anything like that, then the news is “tainted”

Can’t win. It’s also pointless giving them facts I’ve learned over the past 8 years.
