      It’s political news. People downvote based on not liking the headline but it’s reporting directly from a Harris campaign official…

      But also potentially troubling for Democrats: What Harris’ campaign had thought was one of its best insurance possibilities may also be in peril. Just a few weeks ago, several Harris advisers in interviews pointed to the combination of electoral votes from North Carolina and Nevada as a strong alternative path for Harris should Trump win Pennsylvania and claim its 19 electoral votes.

      While North Carolina is still in the campaign’s sights and Democrats maintain strong organization and leadership there, the Harris team is far less bullish about victory, four people with knowledge of the dynamics said.

      “Of all of the seven [states], that one seems to be a little bit slipping away,” the Harris campaign official said of North Carolina.

        “If I downvote the bad news that means it isn’t happening right?” is one of the most frustrating and sadly common lemmy archetypes.

    The people don’t want a phony Democrat. If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat
