The vice president's favorability rating rose 8 points in a week, while the Republican's fell 4 points during same period in one poll.

    This won’t matter if no one votes.

    Also, Newsweek has been going far out of their way to paint a picture of Trump doing poorly even when he’s not. Beware this source.

      I’ve seen the same numbers in many places. Always wonder why discounting a source is the first and only comment from someone.

      But he was doing poorly. Newsweek has fallen off in quality, but so have lots of other papers too. The friggin New York Times was running articles about how trump was amazing and so much more vibrant than Biden. They had a big op-ed focusing on just Biden stepping down from the campaign, completely ignoring trump’s failings.

      Now it’s obvious that they just wanted to cover a Democratic primary horse race. Trump is clearly just as slow as Biden, compared to Kamala.

            A lot of News Groups were purchased by Far Right Billionaires because of fears that if they didn’t then they’d “Keep making up Fake News about Trump!111” So yeah, the NYT is VERY transphobic.

    So far she started off by bullying the Republicans and having her campaign be calling them weird. I love it lol, it’s been very effective.

    Option 1 - seasoned government professional who can navigate politics with diplomacy

    Option 2 - an old man who bankrupted a 4 _ casinos_ and has ties to russia, has zero political experience. edit - thanks everyone - traitor, felon, rapist, attempted a coup to overthrow the government, ex president consistently considered one of the worst terms america has seen.

    How is this difficult, america

    She’s got my vote when Biden didn’t. Everyone who said “nO oNE ElSe iS poLlInG bETter tHaN BiDEN” was ignoring the fact that Biden had the left’s entire media hype machine backing him up and still barely eeked out a few points above Trump.

      This comment is a great example of the left going out of its way to piss off the left.

      This comment is a great example of a troll being a troll

      Edit: the point here was obviously that there was no reason to deride people with the same goal as yourself, especially considering Biden was the only safe choice until the moment he stepped down. Unless you called it that Harris could be this successful, you weren’t correct about anything enough to gloat and shame but even if you did call it, acting like this now just makes you pointlessly rude and divisive

            Remember to vote blue no matter who. I’m glad Biden stepped down and we have a candidate who can win now.

            I very much doubt you are.

              People who judge based on a single comment (and are radically wrong AF) aren’t helpful to anyone who cares an ounce

                Sorry. I shouldn’t have judged you based on a single comment.

                (We both know I wasn’t, and was instead judging you based on your long history of vicious hostility towards anyone who wasn’t 100% on board with Biden’s genocide support, but sure. I’ll entertain your bad faith bullshit yet again. Let’s pretend I was judging you based on a single comment).

                I should have asked instead of assuming. How happy are you that the octogenarian genocide supporter dropped out of the race in favor of a candidate who can actually win?

                  anyone who wasn’t 100% on board with Biden’s genocide support

                  Ah yes, a completely reasonable and good-faith attempt at discourse and in no way a bullshit attempt at smearing anyone who doesn’t use the exact same rhetoric as yourself

      Moderate Dems really want to take all the responsibility off of nominees and put it all on voters.

      Because of that, they couldn’t acknowledge a campaign would help, but they also have to justify the billions from corporate donors.

      There’s no logic to them, the far right wings of both parties just say anything in the moment that gets them what they want.

    Being pessimistic, this is how you have a clearly predictable election - put a clear villain as the other candidate, put a walking corpse as the “good” candidate, make everyone doubt but slowly-slowly accept that you have to vote for the corpse, and then replace the corpse with the person who some time before had kinda ominous reputation, and everybody is suddenly enthusiastic.

    “Better than Trump” is not arguable, but this is still the lesser evil.
