    He’s saving his energy for what he expects will be a win, he’s got a lot of powerful supporters and they’ll be using every trick in the book in the coming weeks. I’m to the point where any good news about Harris or mockery of Trump is infuriating as it puts Harris voters in a more confident position and will lead to lower turnout as they think she’s got a better than 50-50 chance, at best. Her campaign and her supporters need to be pulling out all the stops and pushing as hard as possible to the finish line rather than basking in their illusory lead.

      Are you planning to stay home if she gets a big enough lead?

      No?

      WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SPOUTING THIS BULLSHIT? If the polls are good, great, then we can make it a landslide. Stop treating Harris supporters like idiots.

        I play a game, before I open the comment section on any good news piece on the Harris campaign I try to guess how many “doesn’t matter, vote” comments there will be. Usually about half.

        Do you have any evidence at all that it could be a landslide? Your point of view suppresses the Harris vote, people stayed home in the 2016 election sure that Hilary was a surefire winner and then turned around and called her unpopular and unelectable. I can only assume you are intentionally sabotaging Harris’ chances with your feel-good highfiving.

        Harris has refused so far to support more popular Bernie-style politics and acts all smug about how well she did in that debate, and Democrats cluck their tounges at all the scandals and untruths that Republicans are going through - Republicans don’t care, think its funny and will stand by Trump to the ballot box and likely beyond.

        The election, if we’re lucky, will be won by Harris if you excuse the expression, by a cunt hair considering how election deniers have been packing the voting officer volunteer rolls and if you aren’t filled with cold dread at Kamala being literally left off the ballot in Montana and Georgia requiring hand counting of all the ballots before the day after the election, I don’t know what to tell you.

        Don’t fall prey to the wine-drunk good vibes of gala event liberals who believe they won’t really suffer much if Trump wins, and would rather have the short term reassuance now that we’re fine and nothing more needs to be done than put more effort into actually making that landslide happen. All of America is in deep water without a life jacket here.
