Kamala Harris overhauls Donald Trump, gains 23 points: Poll

Slap a little eyeliner on him just like his boy Vance.

Oh weird, I even asked around with some of my linguistically minded coworkers and nobody was familiar with that expression. I wonder if there's a region where it's a more common usage.

Ha! They did mean "Overtakes"!

Think less like a person trying to get your point across in a clear manner, and more like a person trying to generate clicks for money.

I would

The fucker is already offering retirees "free" money by cutting taxes on Social Security income, which will blow a $1.6 trillion hole in the budget and increase the pace at which the entire system dries up and leaves us out to dry. And the scary thing is, some of these old idiots will fall for it.

Shit's gonna get crazy if his polling keeps slipping.

It seems like there have been a lot of hints that he's scheming to win in spite of the popular vote, through electoral vote and certification shenanigans, maybe an attempt to just make the situation muddy enough in enough different ways that it goes to his stacked Supreme Court in a manner partially reminiscent of the bullshit that installed GW Bush in 2000.

(He also might actively accelerate climate change and break a bunch of shit arguably more important than the American state).

Might? Also don't forget the impact on the geopolitical balance of power a Trump presidency would mean, especially at this precarious moment in time.

Because the US has a fucked up system where a small state vote is worth more than a vote from a populous state.

It should be a simple popular vote and that's it. Kill the electoral college and hopefully the Overton window will go left when no Republican president is elected for a few cycles.

Sure, but there's still absolutely a threat that people just don't vote for Harris. We need to actually win the election before we worry about anything after it going wrong. Assume the votes actually matter, and prepare for them not to. Don't assume they won't matter and not vote because that makes it so they don't even have to cheat and be exposed.

The chance of him legitimately winning is way, way higher than 0%. Now, that does not mean he isn't also planning a coup. It seems he and/or the republican party very much is putting plans in motion.

Regardless, don't get overconfident, don't get complacent.

Confidence is good, but underestimating your opponent is not.
That said, it does look like Trump is losing it, and if that continues, chances are good Harris will win.
But it's never over until it's actually over. As in the votes have been counted.

You must get your info strictly by reading Lemmy communities. It's easy to get that impression because we're a pretty liberal in general, but not every poll puts her ahead, and this one doesn't put her far ahead. We still need to work hard and get people to vote.

For those that are curious their final polling for 2020 had Trump+1 but the actual popular vote Biden had 9% more votes than Trump.
