“Kamala Harris is not black and I know how black people should feel about it. Also, Obama is not black” That’s one hell of an argument. Absolutely devastating. You should tell it to anyone you know who is on the fence about the election.

ITT: People confused that someone can be multiracial and emphasize different parts of their heritage in different settings. I think you all might be taking the whole “weird” thing as a challenge…

Do you believe she’s not black?

I think this is a good strategy and they should absolutely double down on it

Feel like there is a significant difference between voting for a candidate because it'll upset people you don't like and voting for a candidate because you very much dislike the other option...

Yes, keep doing this. Make sure you're sharing this with everyone you know before the election! Post it to your social media too, just for good measure.

They should keep pushing this stuff. Talk about it to all of their friends and family. Totally a normal thing that normal voters will definitely not be put off by.

LOL

Good.

Yeah, that’s what I did in 2017 when I decided to leave the GOP

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I really wish that the DNC was as competent as these conspiracy theorists believe it is.

So you’re saying that people other than Harris decided organically that it wasn’t a good idea to run?

Oh boy. I hope you’re seeing a therapist.

Can you support your claim that most Dems don’t want Harris? I get that she flamed out four years ago but I have a hard time understanding how anyone could look at the fundraising and polling and conclude that the Dems don’t want her. Also, hate to break it to you, but it was an open primary. Anyone could have declared to challenge her. They still can! The vote hasn’t happened yet. Ultimately, she took Biden’s endorsement, spent 24-48 hours campaigning to the delegates and got the commitments she needed. But nothing is stopping any Dem from throwing their hat in the ring right now.

The funny thing these guys struggle with is that polling showed that most people didn’t want Biden to run again. But the primaries were set with him as the only viable candidate, so Dems voted for him. Now that the actual will of the Dem voters is being listened to with Biden not running, MAGA suddenly pretends to care about the will of the people in a way manages to be completely antithetical to what the people want. The only conclusion: they are scared and big mad

I thought it was the only realistic option given the constraints. It’s worked out far better than I expected though

“Any poll that disagrees with what I want is fake!” - A truly serious person who we should all definitely take seriously Harris has certainly seen improvement over where Biden was. That’s been well documented across lots of polls. However, closing the gap doesn’t mean taking the lead and it certainly doesn’t mean the race is in the bag. Plus, the electoral college has had a GOP advantage for a while. If the national polls have Harris +2, then Trump is still probably the favorite to win it.

Here’s a good view of the trends with the Bloomberg poll

Well that’s blatantly wrong, but even if your argument was correct, you’ve identified 9 current members of Congress as socialist. So since you believe that only 3% of Dems in Congress are socialist, I’m glad we can agree that the Democratic Party is absolutely *not* socialist.

Do you believe Communist and Socialist is the same thing? If not, how many Communist members of Congress are there?

As would I but the number of times I’ve been called a communist or seen others here called a communist simply for expressing views contrary to MAGA is pretty high. How many communists are currently serving in the US Congress? How many socialists?

According to most of the posters on this board: Communist: Anyone I disagree with Socialist: Democrat Liberal: Anyone for whom you can see daylight between their tongue and Trump’s anal sphincter

So the people got tired of their leader and voted him out of office but he declared the election was stolen? That sounds vaguely familiar. Where have I heard that before?

A lot of words to say absolutely nothing. Not that I expected anything better
