Great news but the harsh reality is that Democrats need to win by more than 5 points nationally because of the electoral college. A 10 point margin captures the House and might keep the Senate. It’s a brutal map this year, nothing but a massive blowout will crush MAGA. Keep going, keep working.

Inject this shit into your veins, enjoy the high for five minutes, then donate $20 and forget about it. FORWARD.

Polls don’t matter. Don’t get comfortable. They always tighten right before the election and they are often wrong. Get registered and make a plan to vote.

She basically nailed the landing last night. The last false point of doubt and distraction from the right wing was dispelled.
She has a voice. She is strong. She is smart and she is ready.

You need to listen to what the Harris campaign is saying: This race is very difficult. They have access to continuous, detailed, high quality polling that they pay a lot of money for, as opposed to the cheap, poor quality polls the media publish.

I wonder how many Americans will not vote for her just because she is a woman.

I don’t buy Trump at 43. He got 46.1 in 2016 and 46.8 in 2020. He’ll be somewhere in that range again. Nothing can disqualify him from his base’s perspective.

Please alleviate my worries…..is kamala doing a good enough job at addressing concerns regarding cost of living, inflation etc. I reallt hope so. I fear some people may brainlessly vote trump for their bank accounts.

Trump, for his part, is itching to get back to the White House and AVOID GOING TO JAIL.
there, I fixed it🙂

Canadian here trying to understand your electoral system. How does Trump cheat to steal the election? How can he overturn results?

I am really enjoying this democratic party. Not kowtowing to fringe elements, embracing the US as a force for good, and a strong, solid picture of where the US stands. Definitely the best messaging since Obama.

Take nothing for granted. I’m going to my first phone bank on Sunday to make calls to a nearby purple state. There are tons of opportunities available. If feels so good to be proactive and not just hoping.

CNN questioned a few undecided people after Harris’ speech. All but 2 have committed voting for her after seeing her speak. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come!

> Harris has a seven-point advantage over Trump – 50% to 43% – nationally, per the latest Fairleigh Dickinson University survey.
> From the FDU poll: "Among voters who were not primed to think about the race or sex of the candidates, Harris and Trump are tied. When the list of issues mentions the sex of the candidates, Harris pulls ahead, 52 to 42. And when the race of the candidates is mentioned, Harris holds a 14-point lead, 53 to 39, a 15-point shift from the baseline condition.”
I really don’t trust polls very much, but I do trust that polls break Trump’s brain and that makes me happy.
If it starts to look really ugly in the polls for Trump, we are in for a wild ride. He is not going down with some desperate shit.
No-Excitement3140 on
This poll is suspicious. The fact the the gap only becomes large when sex and race are mentioned, suggests that the responders might be trying to give the “correct” answer.
In the extreme (not saying it’s the case here), if you ask “Kamala is a beautiful woman and the first poc running for president. Trump is an obese angry old white man. Whom do you prefer?”, your results will probably be a little biased.

Great news but the overall theme we got was to work HARD ti keep the lead. It’s still close and after 2016 nothing should be taken for granted:
VOTE: https://vote.gov (get registered and check your registration)
Rump shouldn’t even have 43%. So what we are saying here is that 43% of the US are in a cult and that frightens me. 😑
Chief-_-Wiggum on
interesting to see the complaints about Kamala’s speech.. mostly it lack firm policies and details. which is ridiculous for a DNC acceptance speech which is always about hyping up the base.
One panel of regular joes being interviewed had only one person going for Drump and his reasoning was Drump was more aggressive which is hilarious as he quickly pivoted to say Kamala was aggressive too but not the “same”. Guy just didn’t want to sound like a raging misogynistic racist. Those people will never vote for a women of colour even when they are not Drumps normal base.

Act like she’s 5 points behind at all times, and get your butts to your local voting booth.

Had to laugh at this:
“Since Biden stepped down last month, the vice president has announced few major policy proposals beyond a new push to prevent price gouging by food producers and grocers and plans to cut taxes for families, attempt to bring down homebuying and rental prices and reduce medical debt.”
That’s more policy positions than any Trump campaign (2016, 2020, 2024) has ever adopted.
Sea_Window_5821 on
She talks about the country and what good she is going to do for it and the American people. All stump does is call people childish names, and talk about how he is not being treated the way he feels he should be treated. I haven’t heard him say one thing about what he’s going to do for the country or the American people except hateful rhetoric towards the ones who aren’t being subservient to him. Seems to me that if you have to lie and cheat to get what you want, you are NOT much of a man.

It’s not over ‘til it’s over. You can’t ever assume anything because I’ve come to learn that there are many irrational, ill-informed, and strange people who will vote for Trump.
Every little bit that each person can do to put Kamala Harris into the White House is the way to go through November 5th.

It’s too bad democrats start from a place of disadvantage. But I thought Walz’s metaphor was perfect: 4th quarter and we’re down a field goal. But we have possession and are moving down the field.
