Do dummies actually think she’s more “radical” than Biden? Maybe if we beg madam hard enough she’ll give us healthcare!
It does make me wonder why folks like that protest at Harris events but not Trump events, given what Trump has said about how he’d handle Palestine.
They think they can maybe sway Harris/the dems in general. Not unreasonable, seeing as IIRC they stand to potentially lose Michigan due to its (relatively) large muslim community which will likely have reduced turnout if her policies stay the same.
There is no convincing Trump or the repubs. Their voter base LOVES genocide. The only people who aren’t onboard are some of the more extreme neo-nazis, who only disagree because they hate jews (I note here that Israel is not representative of all jews, and to claim so is anti-semitic, but these are neo-nazis) more than they hate muslims.
Sway them into what? A Trump victory?
Edit: Oh okay. You think these protestors can stop Harris from funding Israel. But any leftist who points out how pointless it is to convince neoliberals to not do neoliberal things is… a neoliberal?
That doesn’t strike you as naive? Believing the USA of all countries will stop funding Israel because of protestors?
The best way I’ve heard it described is like this: Republicans are werewolves outside the cabin openly howling for blood. I expect no consideration from them.
Liberals are other humans in the cabin with us who, despite professing to hate and fear the werewolves, refuse to hand over the silver bullets or lock any doors. I have been told that they want what I want, so their constant capitulation to the werewolves’ demands arouses baffled frustration.
Her VP staff had an enormous turnover rate because she was such a horrible manager.
Former staffers said she never prepared for meetings. She resonates with vibes based people so much she operates off them instead of the briefings prepared for her, allegedly.
had to go re-read that article for fun
Staffers who worked for Harris before she was vice president said one consistent problem was that Harris would refuse to wade into briefing materials prepared by staff members, then berate employees when she appeared unprepared.
“It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” one former staffer said. “With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”
She’s presently a blank canvas that libs can project all of their own wants and desires on.
Funny enough the chuds pulled the same shit with Trump, still do to some extent too.
She’s not a blank canvas though. She has a record, she has positions - and more importantly we know the positions she abandoned when she ran for president in 2020. That makes radlibs thinking she’s going to be any different than Biden is silly
They did the same thing with Obama, projecting positions that he he had never held onto him to make him the candidate they wanted him to be.
They only need to gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss the public for three more months. I could see them just riding the wave of letting people project their ideals onto her.
Of course that means it’s her election to lose, just like Hillary. So I’m trying not to underestimate her ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
This feels like a repeat of 2016, and back then I genuinely thought that Hillary was going to win.
All the polls pointed to Hillary winning and then she just lost.
It’s going to repeat again for kamala
It feels like it but theres a difference. Unlike 2016, not only is there no alternative. But there was and we go it. Genocide Joe was pushed out. “If you arent in the K-hive now then what were you complaining about. You were just complaining for its own sake”
There were warning signs about the polls in 2016. The only thing that got mentioned was the national polls. The HRC friendly media downplayed it though. People have learned their lessons and analysis is more nuanced these days.
The hard part of polling in 2024 is not ignoring swing states but in figuring out who is going to turn out to vote and who isnt.

More disapproval for Harris than approval

She’s leading national presidential poll against Trump, like Hillary.
I found a source that said she’s leading trump in a few states. But I really don’t see a difference between now and 2016.
I mean look

Hillary was dominating trump in 2016 in Michigan and then she just lost it come election day.
Edit: and Harris barely beats trump in the battleground states. Polls really showed Hillary crushing trump in swing states, more so than Harris.
Man, so if she wins we watch all the libs deride the left to ‘give her time to change policy direction’ from brunch her entire first term… or if Trump wins we get to watch them rediscover all the Biden policies they forgot they hated and have em blame the left for not turning out to fix them…hmm I can’t decide which libererun i’d rather see.
