Despite all the doom scrolling, Harris has a comfortable lead in the electoral college right now.

The time for vibing is over. It’s too late to change anyone’s opinions (especially because national level events like debates are over). Harris will finish her Media Blitz soon (including a Fox News showing) while Trump retreats into his shell hoping no one notices how damn stupid his mouth is.

This is the time for doing. The focus should be on voter drives and other get out the vote pushes. It’s mid October, and the October surprises are against Trump and in our favor.

It’s not the lead we wanted but it’s a lead nonetheless. Don’t talk yourself out of believing this lead because of a bad poll or two.

    She will only win if you vote. Do not say “she’s got this, I’ll skip it.” Do not say “I can’t bring myself to vote for her.” Do not say “something something genocide.” Vote. For. Her.

    Because if you don’t, he will win. And you’ll still get the genocide, plus so much other even worse shit.

      She doesn’t “got this.” The election is too close for logic or comfort.

            How was last time Clinton? Does Biden not count as a president? You know he won an election and became president right

              Harris is way better but we chose her even less than we chose Hillary Clinton. Simply telling people to hold their noses wasn’t as effective as Biden’s campaign.

                    Everything in context, my friend. Harris is the least in favor of the war of any candidate who could reasonably win.

              2020 had Trump as an incumbent, and while people were anxious about Biden’s age nobody was “holding their nose” to vote for him. He was viewed as a less than perfect option that would nevertheless bring normalcy back to the White House as a vanilla corporate Democrat president. That is not, in any way, comparable to the current situation where he’s the incumbent and despised by critical demographics for multiple failed policies whose successor explicitly states she’ll carry over. The last time Democrats had to go around saying “hold your nose and vote blue no matter who” was, indeed, 2016.

        So… not voting for her will work better?
