    Take a look at Harris’ last several poll numbers. And that’s with nobody drawing attention to her. She wouldn’t need any help from Republicans to lose.

    Republicans are running against 99% of U.S. population. Though half of the population haven’t noticed yet.

    This is random and nitpicky, but can we talk about that ad’s soundtrack?

    Maybe things have changed and I’m out of touch, but I thought the thing was to put suspenseful horror movie music over attack ads, you know, like the classic Michael Myers theme. The music they used is like, kind of dark, but it’s more like an action movie, like the way the bass drops at 0:33 is the part of a trailer where they’d so some really cool stunt, and around 0:50 the pace is picking up to where it’s like, trying to hype you up to see the movie. Like, it’s not that far off from the soundtrack in the trailer for Inception, where it’s like, yeah there are some dark aspects to it, but it’s still supposed to be fun and entertaining. I know I’m not the target audience, but this just left me wondering when the Kamala movie dropped, and not like, worried about some sinister plot.

    The whole thing feels kinda disjointed tbh. At first the message is, “Biden is senile, Kamala is really running thing, and she’s gonna let the immigrants in, be afraid,” but then by the end the message is, “Haha, Kamala is saying all this incoherent stuff, she’s a joke!” It’s like they got distracted and lost the plot halfway through a one minute ad. I guess they’re just throwing stuff at a wall to see what sticks, but it’s very unfocused and low effort.

    The sad part is Biden (or his handlers, who knows at this point) won’t just give a press conference to confirm he his not dropping out. We are stuck with articles of he said she said.

    If he can’t give a 5-10 minute speech saying he is fit to run, then I’m sorry he isn’t fit to run.

      He just sat down on ABC yesterday, on top of multiple rallies where he’s said just that
