    Kamala should really be doing much better going against a despicable convicted rapist and a couch fucker.

      She will be.

      I’m increasingly confident about a blue wave this election. First multiracial female president in a time when bodily autonomy is under attack.

      And that’s all without taking into account who and what she is running against.

      I’m just curious but where did the couch fucker thing come from because I saw memes of it on lemmy but don’t know where it came from

        It’s insane how much of politics comes down to vibes. Yeah Biden was too old, but I still can’t fathom how many were ready to let Trump win just because voting for a tired grandpa “didn’t feel good”.

      Don’t forget about the whole “probably a pedophile who wanted to fuck his daughter since she was a child”

    Do not forget that Hillary was beating Trump in most polls before the 2016 election.

    Never forget.

    Go for overwhelming victory. Win with your vote and hit the streets to celebrate and show support. Make the inevitable attack against the election results sound ridiculous.

      Then they’ll say that such an overwhelming victory shouldn’t have been possible and not legitimate.

      Anyway, I still say we blow 'em out at the polls.

    I’m not American, so, to me, Kamala is the clear choice over a convicted felon. Americans I know are telling me she’s “done nothing” and is “a waste of space”. Why are people saying this?

        The impression I keep getting is that these people do not feel like she’d be a good president, but I don’t know why anyone thinks that. One person did tell me Trump “literally gave me money” when he was in power, so I don’t know what to think lol

    Just remember this picture everyone, no matter how good it looks right now. And YOU probably don’t need to see this, but maybe you have friends who do. I have a few who will be getting this in a text message in October.

      This is why voting reform is the most important issue of our times.

    I woke up early this morning, so I’m a bit irritated as a baseline, but how the fuck is that even a close race?

    It’s a rhetorical question, but damn is it mind blowing how dumb people can be.

    The US is fucked up and is influencing us here, and I am fucking pissed.

      In fact, the lead is only erased if people actually show up to vote. Otherwise, it’s still there.

    Polls don’t mean anything if people don’t go out and vote, and tbh I don’t think Harris is leading in battle ground states enough to really say there might be a “blue wave”.

    Dems and allies may be in for a shock if they think Harris is a confirmed winner, from what I can tell it’s close and may remain close. Literally every vote may count https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/07/25/trump-harris-swing-state-polls-harris-trails-trump-in-most-key-battlegrounds-but-outperforms-biden/

      Pretty sure after 2016 nobody is assuming anything. Especially not when Harris is still behind Trump by 2 points. It would be insane to say “we’re behind 2 points but that’s within the margin of error, so good enough!”

    The ear 👂 tampon made him look weak and reminded everyone that he lies about everything.

    Magically, zero damage to a “shot” ear 2 weeks later. Sure, Trump 😆🤣🤡

      He was shot with an AR-15 (assuming it was the bullet and not shrapnel).

      Those make an entry wound smaller than a hole punch (5.56mm vs. 7.9mm). I mean, a 5.56 is 3/1000ths of an inch smaller than a .22. (Close enough for you guns nerds.) Point being, for those that don’t know, the bullet is tiny, it’s the speed that counts.

      So no, I wouldn’t expect to see much after a couple of weeks of healing and careful cleaning. But that pic where the only red spot is so high and close? Either the bullet was extraordinarily close, or he got hit with shrapnel.

      Also, predictive polls have been really terrible since 2016. They don’t have a good read on the electorate, mainly because they don’t understand the younger generations or know how to quantify social media influence.

      So I agree. Vote like our collective future depends on it. And remember that there’s a lot of downballot races that deserve attention, too.
