Summary
Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.
Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.
Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.
It’s not a testament to her abilities, it’s a depressing statement about the state of America that a convicted felon, rapist, fascist loudman can be neck and neck with probably one of the smartest, most highly accomplished presidential candidates we’ve had in quite a while
I blame stupid voters AND Republicans trying to pull of a coup through voter suppression.
Up next, endless court cases in an attempt to get SCOTUS to hand over the election to Trump.
I blame Fox News the most for decades of right wing propaganda.
Rush Limbaugh too
And Newt Gingrich
What’s more amazing is that no one is saying “is America ready for a woman president?” this time around, like they were in 2016. It’s refreshing, but also sad that it took this long.Never fucking mind. At this point I decide whether suicide or applying for a green card is the easier option.
“Look, I hate women, but I hate Nazis even more” - Boomer men
Ermmmmmm…check the results
It was young men, especially Latinos, who broke hard for Trump. Not Boomers.
White college educated men are the only group that increased in share for Harris. Trump even got a higher share of women than he did in 2020.
