I don’t think he realized that he shouldn’t say the GOP briefing points out loud

Yeah, looking at the polls (mostly via Nate Silver’s site), I think the big blind spot in a lot of the polling is how they’re categorizing “likely voters”. Usually that’s considered much more accurate but after two presidential elections featuring uninspiring candidates (especially for the Dems), I think there’s a ton of voters who maybe didn’t vote in 2016 or 2020 but will turn out this year.

Especially in the state polls, Harris seems to have a bigger lead when looking at registered voters and I think the usual “likely voter” polls are undercounting Dem support. I certainly don’t think she has it in the bag, but in areas that underperformed for Dems in the last two presidential elections, I think a lot of this years polls are undercounting Harris’ support.

Cool headline, but ultimately just another call to have people throw their votes to a third-party candidate in protest …which could just lead to Trump’s victory, which the article itself acknowledges would be the worst possible outcome.

In 2024, Claudia de La Cruz and Karina Garcia are running a socialist campaign for president and vice president of the United States. In the leadup to November and beyond, we must fight the misleadership of both the Republicans and Democrats and build a movement that not only identifies the problems that Black America faces, but proposes real solutions.

The time to fight the Democratic leadership is unfortunately past, and the only way forward to being able to win going forward is to vote for Harris. Voting for Trump (or casting a third-party candidate, essentially the same thing) is guaranteed to make things much worse.

If it hasn’t been posted there already, you should post this to !politicalmemes@lemmy.world!

Yeah, that’s not his campaign website according to the link in his Wikipedia page.

I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong

So needy, aren’t you? Or just completely disingenuous and looking to make others uncomfortable.

But no, as I’ve stated before, you don’t make me feel anything.

And any time anyone says something you immediately cry and whine about how they’re trying to oppress you.

And yet you never honestly engage with anyone.

I have no narrative, just observations that anyone can make when viewing your strange and disingenuous behavior.

Or they can respond to you and tell you what they think! Why are you trying to quiet voices you don’t agree with?

I never said I wasn’t fine with it. What I asked was about your motivation for doing so. You know, in the spirit of engaging in good faith, as the rules outline. Because you often receive feedback that your posting and commenting certainly don’t appear to be in good faith. It’s almost like anyone who sees your username more than a couple times immediately clocks that you are not acting in a genuine manner. A bit like the “uncanny valley”. A bit abnormal.

Once again you put words in someone else’s mouth. Try reading what I wrote again and tell me where I said anything you just said I said.

And there’s no rule against me constructively and respectfully calling out bullshit. It really is so odd that you act so obviously fragile that you can’t engage in any real or honest discussion, and instead fall back on copy pastes from other responses, what would appear to be walls of text written by an LLM, and/or the tried and true “nuh-uh! You are!”

If you find my critiques to be distasteful, you are of course free to block me again. It might be for the best considering how you react to essentially every bit of online interaction.

Dehumanizing people …not a good look.

Who said I was worried? You keep putting words into other people’s mouths. Or intentionally being obtuse. It’s almost like you’re repeatedly not engaging in good-faith and with respect.

But you yourself have claimed you aren’t personally invested in a bunch of the articles you posted but thought others might be - usually whenever anyone calls you out. And posting robotically about the same subjects again and again in spaces where they are obviously not well received is weird. Diving deep into discussion threads you haven’t been taking part in to post spammy copypasta is bizarre. 1200 Posts and 2300 comments in less than 45 days is disturbing behavior. Sealioning so hard by calling everyone “friend” and not honestly engaging in discussions is not normal.

And please tell me you can tell the difference between “coordinated campaign against you” and enduring “universal hate”. It’s really not hard to see they’re not the same thing. If you’re pissing off most people every day, maybe most people aren’t the problem?

Without the electoral college though, the only time a third party candidate could act as a spoiler would be if they had a significant share of the vote. They deserve to be spoilers in those cases I think. My problem is with folks pulling in 1% - 3% of the vote in a single state ultimately deciding a national election.

But yeah, RCV would be the best way to ensure better representation (though honestly it can still easily have what could be viewed as “spoilers”)

I mean, in 2016 Dems still handily won the popular vote, so it was still the electoral college as the ultimate problem, and third parties were only contributing factors.

In addition to just being a good idea, getting rid of the electoral college would be good because we’d never have to hear about meaningless third-party candidates acting as spoilers. They’d either be real contenders or just narcissists like Jill Stein.

From your post history, I’m going to have to say it looks like you’ve never fixed - or honestly done much of- anything in your life. Political Edgelord is definitely a vibe. In fact, I’m not sure I can find a single example of you improving a discussion on here.

Weird that you keep posting in the exact same way though. Almost like you’re playing a character rather than being a real person reacting to things.

Oh, you’re not important enough to even annoy me. It’s not like I’ve missed our interactions while you were “blocking” me.

But again, when you see someone acting so bizarrely, you do want to get some sort of an explanation for their obviously ostracizing and counterproductive behavior. Something honest. Something real. But you can’t do honest and real can you?

It’s so sad really. There’s no coordinated campaign against you despite your obvious martyr complex and complaints to the contrary. No one cares per se that you’re here. Your posts and comments are a sometimes unavoidable inconvenience - like accidentally stepping in dog shit on a public sidewalk. You don’t like it, you have to clean it up, but mostly you’re just wondering what kind of person leaves this shit lying around?

Bravo for the almost totally normal response! Lots of work to do, but maybe with more practice you can start sounding like something other than a weirdo. And only part of it seemed copied and pasted!

And only responded to this one because it was on a post I made. Strange that you still haven’t described how you got here. Was it the obsessive/compulsive thing or the using search to insert yourself in conversations that didn’t involve you?

So damn weird

No, that’s true, you don’t. But it’s such odd behavior, don’t you think? I know you just started using Lemmy a bit more than a month ago, but your posting patterns and volume are unique. One might even say unprecedented - for someone behaving normally. Naturally it then occurs to other people to ask about the unnatural behavior and what motivates it.

Care to provide any clarity? Let’s just focus on why you’re copy/pasting spam responses deep in threads you haven’t participated in. You’re either obsessively reading thousands of threads you have no direct involvement in looking for opportunities for your sad copypasta or you’re using the search feature to accomplish those same things.

Surely you have reasons for such aberrant praxis?
