Kamala Harris' approval rating surges as Donald Trump's falls

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

- Option 1 - No real controversies.
How is this difficult, america
Mostly because of racists.
Those casinos were in Atlantic City. He also lost tens of millions of dollars on one of the most famous and prestigious hotels in New York City. He lost money trying to sell mail-order steaks and whiskey in the United States. He also lost money trying to operate a university during the biggest education bubble in history. He also stole classified documents, 'lost' them, and got huge numbers of foreign assets killed. He openly advocates for ending democracy. And as the cherry on top of that shit sandwich, brags about sexually battering women.
You didn't even mention "serial rapist."
- Or "Epstein's BFF," or "multiple-times credibly accused child rapist."
Option 2 is also a traitor, and convicted felon.
Option 2 bankrupted four casinos.
You forgot “rapist”
- fixed!
Article: People are abandoning Trump for Harris.
Democrats: Oh my god, what is WRONG with you people?!
- Is that what you interpreted? The fact trump still has a single supporter is insane.
Hate seems strong, but I hope I'm wrong
Tribalism
He does have political experience actually. Still has a huge ass following base where he can spout the most insane shit and they'll still follow him. That's why he's so dangerous.

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.

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.
- Hasn't NYT become the Transphobia Express?
I've seen the same numbers in many places. Always wonder why discounting a source is the first and only comment from someone.
- I'm not familiar with Newsweek's history, but I discount this source because every link is back to their website, and they don't present the data they're citing. I had to go look it up to confirm. PDF link is here: https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2024-07/Topline%20ABC_Ipsos%20Poll%20July%2027%202024.pdf
  Also presenting a view that Trump is destined to lose gets us in the situation in 2016 where people didn't go vote because it was a given that Hillary would win. From a polling perspective, the information is really only useful to the campaign, to know where to focus and what is doing well. For everyone else, it's a curiosity to see how the rest of the country is feeling. The only real way to ensure Trump doesn't get back into the White House is to vote.
- Because Newsweek in particular deserves it? Post better sources.

LFG

Liquid fart gas?
- Don't be ridiculous. Lions Fear Gorgonzola. An ancient proverb.

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.

This wasn't satire? I expected Hell in a Cell, but got QAnon levels of paranoia

This is the number to beat: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/23/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-presidential-polls/index.html

For those who don't want to open it, the article showed Clinton having 50% versus Harris' 43%. And it has to be over 50% because of the severe degree of gerrymandering.
