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.

    I don’t blame Democratic voters. I blame every voter. This should be a no brainer. Trump should be polling in the single digits.

    Americans are fucking stupid. The ones who vote are stupid. The ones who run the parties are stupid. The ones who don’t vote are stupid.

    I keep trying to hitch a ride off this bug infested mudball but even the aliens know to avoid it.

      And in 08 a young charismatic candidate with a progressive platform got them to vote for him even in red states

      The voters will vote if given a better option.
