"Two private polls conducted in a swing New York House district and reviewed by POLITICO — one in September and another in March — found former President Donald Trump leading Biden there by 1 point, a virtual tie. And public polls over the last four months found Biden’s lead had winnowed to just 8 points across New York — an unusually narrow gap in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.

“We’re still acting like this is a one-party state, which for pretty much 20, 25 years it has been,” Democratic Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said. “I truly believe we’re a battleground state now.”

A Biden lead of 8 points in a state he carried by 23 in 2020 is a huge loss of support.

    They are willing to accept “shut the fuck up and fall in line, you Russian bot!” and don’t realize A) They sound CRAZY and B) They’re doing FAR more brand damage to the dems than any number of peace/justice/benefits protestors ever could.

      Do you think it will ever register in their brains that they are actively attempting to silence dissent? Remind you of anyone?

        I honestly think that they see nothing wrong with it because they’re just as brainwashed as Red MAGA. I’ve had people take down perfectly respectful posts disagreeing with them by fake reporting me as a Russian bot here. They’re full on authoritarians, it’s just that THEIR Great Man is RIGHT!
