I think you discount the power of propaganda.Kamala Can't Win
Harris faces structural disadvantages that no amount of astroturfing and fraud can overcome.open.substack.com
Opinion piece. I’m sure that all my liberal friends will agree.
Interesting that this has nothing to do with the OP.I saw "structural disadvantages" and thought this would be some riff on the notion that Blacks face disadvantages in society.
No, it's even less clever and more unhinged than that. I looked up the author's bibliography and he's got some.... interesting... takes. My favorite so far is this one from 2020 in which he argued that state legislatures should live up to their "republican principles" and send their own electors to overturn their popular votes and reinstall Trump as president.
What is there to talk about? The prediction at the heart of the piece in your OP is unknowable. Beyond that, it's just a bunch of factual errors wrapped up in a silly rant. I mean, just this line:Interesting that this has nothing to do with the OP.
She is not popular. She is not inspiring. She has no base of support.
So starting something in the "discussion and debate" section with no intent to discuss.There’s nothing I need to discuss.
Has she even interviewed yet since her announcement to "run"?Kamala Can't Win

Should the DC regime install Kamala it will mean the end of our constitutional order and of free and fair elections. Kamala cannot legitimately win the presidency. Should the media declare her the winner on November 6th it would be an absurdity on the scale of journalists insisting that North Korean elections are free and fair.
The regime cannot survive the installation of another astroturfed and unpopular political leader into the highest office in the land. The weight of the sheer ridiculousness of it all will bring faith in our system of government crashing to the ground.
and closing like this:Kamala is a line in the sand. If she can be installed in the presidency then there is no reason to keep holding elections, the DNC and its media apparatchiks can simply make or break the presidency with a snap of the fingers. In this scenario, there is no longer any reason for patriotic Americans to serve or support the regime in DC. They must withdraw their consent and search for new guards for their future security.
This insurrectionist make it clear that he does not care for elections or the law at all. Putting his guy in power is the only thing that matters. All Americans should reject this attitude and recognize the threat this is to our country.We can be certain of one thing, however, Kamala is not going to win a fair election in November. It is impossible.
You read that way wrong. But I get it.People wonder why the Trump apparatus is seen as anti-democratic. This screed illustrates that perfectly.

Money is a nonissue considering Trump has Musk backing him financially. One of the problems with having someone with over $200 billion as a backer, is it most likely leaves potential doners figuring Musk has the financial end fully covered. And once the hoopla over the Harris - Walz ticket wears off there's a good chance the surge in the polls will drop.What is there to talk about? The prediction at the heart of the piece in your OP is unknowable. Beyond that, it's just a bunch of factual errors wrapped up in a silly rant. I mean, just this line:
That's idiotic. She's polling ahead of Trump. She's got more money than him. Those numbers are what had been reported as of 7/29 and I assume they include Biden's prior fundraising, but they clearly don't include record-breaking amounts raised during July and then in August after Walz was announced.
Is there something substantive in there that you wanted to talk about?
There isn't any other way to read it: "If my guy doesn't win, then it is false, and elections don't matter."You read that way wrong. But I get it.
What's notable is all the support Biden was getting even though he's clearly unfit for another four years in office, until as you say, the mask came off.There isn't any other way to read it: "If my guy doesn't win, then it is false, and elections don't matter."
The unquoted portion of the screed consists of a lot of delusional notions about how VP Harris couldn't possibly win and the Democrats are already cheating, etc. Trump, despite his claim yesterday, is not loved by 75% of the people. He is not inevitable and not invincible. Until the mask came off at the debate, President Biden had reasonable shot of winning. Many prominent Democrats, including the VP, also would have reasonable shot of winning.
The difference between me and this anti-democratic sub-stacker is that I also think Trump has a reasonable chance of winning as does VP Harris have a chance. The majority of Americans recognize this.
That’s not the context.There isn't any other way to read it: "If my guy doesn't win, then it is false, and elections don't matter."
I agree with Hans. What's your take?That’s not the context.
That’s not the context.
You read that way wrong. But I get it.
Did you read the article of his from 2020 that I cited? He explicitly called for state legislatures to do exactly what @Hans Blaster interpreted him as suggesting in your OP. “Republican principles” was his wording, not mine.That’s not the context.
