Agreed. Well before the debate, polling showed that most Dems didn’t want Biden. But there were no serious challengers to him in the primary, so they voted for him. Now that Harris is the nominee, the polls are swinging in her favor, the electorate is engaged, and the donations are flowing in. Hard to argue that the Dems “chose” Biden given all of that.

GOP pollster on Trump-Harris: ‘I haven’t seen anything like this’ "Republican pollster Frank Luntz appears stunned at the current state of the Kamala Harris-Donald Trump matchup and this year’s presidential election. Luntz, who’s been called “The Nostradamus of pollsters” and conducts focus groups, had been bullish on Trump defeating Joe Biden and returning to the White House. Now, he says, he can’t believe what he’s seeing among his focus groups and in the polls. “She’s bringing out people who are not interested in voting for either Trump or Biden, so the entire electoral pool has changed and if it continues in this direction you have to start to consider Democrats winning the Senate and Democrats winning the House,” Luntz said Wednesday on CNBC. “She’s got intensity now. She’s got an intensity advantage. She’s got a demographic advantage and I haven’t seen anything like this happen in 30 days in my lifetime,” he said. “Now my groups are broken up by young women saying, ‘I’m not voting for him anymore.’” He added: “The people who are undecided have all collapsed towards Harris. The people who are ‘weak’ Trump have all collapsed towards undecided.” Luntz told hosts of “Squawk Box” that he’s attempting to hold a focus group of undecided, younger female voters, but is having trouble finding enough people who fit that category. “You shift the demographics and you shift the entire outcome,” he said. “There are issues, attributes and the condition of the country. The issues and the conditions favor Donald Trump. He should be winning this election. But the attributes are so much in Harris’ favor that he’s not.” (emphasis mine)

You can certainly try, but once people peg you as "the other" (depending on which side they are on), they tend to just ignore any nuance and paint with a broad-brush based entirely on their own beliefs of what the "other side" stands for.

Either there was a massive DDOS attack on X that somehow didn't impact most of X or the infrastructure that struggled to handle the spaces launch of Pudding Ron's campaign rollout was also unable to handle the load for the Trump conversation. Seems like the latter is far more likely than the former. Musk claims there was a DDOS attack on X — but The Verge is told there was not. "Eighteen minutes after the conversation was supposed to begin, Musk claimed that X was the target of a “massive DDOS attack” that had made it impossible for the Space to proceed as planned. The rest of X appears to be working normally, however, and a source at the company confirmed to The Verge that there wasn’t actually a denial-of-service attack. Another X staffer said there was a “99 percent” chance Musk was lying about an attack."

It’s kinda sad that you still think I said something I never said. You’re so defensive of your overlords that you cannot remove your lips from their sphincters long enough to do basic reading comprehension.

Apparently not believing Elon Musk over my own eyes is a mental illness. A DDOS attack would have crippled the entire site, not just a single spaces broadcast. Simplest explanation is that there was an internal infrastructure issue that they were able to eventually resolve. But that would mean questioning the word of Dear Leader. And according to some, that would constitute a mental illness…

It’s too bad the Olympics didn’t have an event for Missing the Effing Point because you would have brought us home the gold to put us ahead of China for gold medals

OH MY GOD. You saw the classic Simpsons steamed hams bit and your takeaway was that there definitely was aurora borealis completely localized in the kitchen. If anyone knows this guy personally, they are ripe to join Amway.

I haven’t changed my position at all. The fact you think I have gives more ammo to my theory that you can’t actually read. Get help.

Can you read? Are you actually capable of reading? Or is that too far past your cognitive abilities? Because I’m really starting to wonder. I was on Twitter when the spaces started. I was not trying to join it because I do not hate myself. But I had absolutely no issue with Twitter during the time that the world’s biggest losers were complaining that they couldn’t hear their Dear Leader. I did not claim that Twitter was working for everyone. I did not claim that everything was perfect for all. I simply said that I wasn’t experiencing an issue and the history of big Twitter spaces lead me to think it was more likely an infrastructure issue than a DDOS. Dear lord man. Find some self-respect.

“I see you broke every record in the book with uhh stho many millions of people. And tshat’s an honor. We view that as an honor. And then uhhh you do want shilencshing of shcertain voices”

Hey buddy. Take a minute to chill. Take a breather. Nobody is gonna hurt you here. It’s ok. You’re going to be ok. I said that I didn’t experience any issue with Twitter during the spaces event. I said that I was skeptical that the issues with the spaces event was due to a DDOS because they routinely have issues with big spaces events. You’re the one who is trying to pretend I said a bunch of things I clearly never said. I don’t know why you’re doing that, but I understand that listening to a very old man slurring his words might cause some cognitive dissonance for you. It’s ok though. If you log off of the internet for the night, everything will still be ok in the morning.

I’ve only recently come around on unions but I have to say, this is an excellent ad

Yikes! Captain Jump To Conclusions is mighty defensive tonight against anything that might impugn Dear Leader. I apologize if my refusal to lick boots offends you in any manner. Twitter has consistently struggled with big name Spaces events, especially since the staffing has been slashed. It may be a DDOS, or it may be the typical incompetence we’ve come to expect from similar past events. But given that Spaces seems to have issues with large events, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think this was an internal infrastructure issue as opposed to some nefarious attack. PS: I don’t watch CNN or MSNBC. Just putting out some common sense observations based on Twitter’s past performance.

LOL. Amazing. Keep telling yourself this. Also, please tell everyone you know about the nefarious DDOS attack against Twitter to prevent Trump from talking about how hot Kamala Harris was on Time Magasheen.

Seems about right

Jesus you sound defensive. I said I didn’t have any issue with Twitter and I found it weird that I wouldn’t have an issue if there was a DDOS attack. Might be a good time to take a moment for some introspection on why you got so defensive there Maybe you’re just hoping to get on the cover of Time Magasheen

Trump: Kamala Harris is hot and looks like my wife Also, what’s with the lisp? Does he have issues with dentures?

Gotta tell you, I have things I’d rather be doing than listening to two lunatics yap at each other. Just found it weird that people were complaining about a DDOS attack against Twitter when it was working just fine for me. I get it. You just like the taste of the Kool-Aid.

Twitter seems to be working completely fine for me. Weird that a DDOS attack would not impact the site as a whole

I gotta tell you, I don’t know anybody on the left who is scared of Musk. He’s mostly a joke

You’d think that a company like Twitter would have been prepared for a DDOS attack* for this. Maybe firing everybody wasn’t the best move… *If it is actually a DDOS and not just crappy infrastructure
