Kamala is collapsing in swing state polling

The polls shows that people like republicans. Kamala should try to be more like a republican to win back voters.

Here is what she should do to make swing state voters like her more:

Pressure "Israel" to be more genocidal. Make aid conditional on kill quotas.
Negative taxes for oligarchs but only the evil ones
A nuke for every police department. Cops have the right to defend themselves
Castle doctrine for Zybertrukkk owners against bicycles
A programme promoting bullying in schools to teach children to "toughen up"
Make it illegal to hurt fascists' feelings

I hate triangulators I hate triangulators I hate triangulators.
::: spoiler danish politics.
Socialdemokratiet (The socialdemocratic party) stole a bunch of voters from Dansk Folkeparti (Danish peoples party and by Danish we mean wink wink) by being as racist as them.
The point of doing that was to prevent dansk Folkeparti from getting into government, which would be bad because they had racist politics.
Insert meme where Spongebob and Patrick, labeled as SOCIALDEMOKRATER, stand in the middle of a burning city exclaiming "we did it Patrick, we stopped the racists from getting into government!" :::
- You know what they say: The only way to fight a bad guy with a racism, is a good guy with a racism.
- And in the process the succdems forgot why the Danish People's Party was bad in the first place and became just as racist as them. There's no sign any more of "if they get in they will do bad stuff", it's just "they're taking our phoney baloney jobs and we want them back"
"We must not fall behind in the kittens-thrown-over-a-cliff-gap, mien fuhrer."
The only thing missing is there needs to be more emphasis on brat. A Kamala win is a win for women. Slay kween. It's all about identity!
- ITS HER TURN
you're hired!

I think this is overly confident towards Trump’s chances. But if Kamala loses, we’d have Hillary 2.0. Has she tweeted about her birthday?

You're not gonna believe it, but it was her birthday two days ago and
- I can't believe I missed that when I called it
  Anyway they're turbo fucked lmao
- Oh she is cooked

The graph portrays 48.4 about 70% taller than 47.3

Yeah, it's disingenuous at least to fuck with the y axis like this
1 percent is also assuredly in the margin of error. There's no way this is a significant difference.
- It's a betting market not a poll, there isn't any "margin of error". This doesn't tell you who would win, it tells you what the website's users are willing to bet on.
Take it up with the RCP people
- yeah rcp's been going through a not-so-sneaky rightwards shift for a while lol

this is incredible, democrats are absolute professionals at losing lmao

Betting is polling like markets are democracy

Markets are a much better predictor of policy than "democracy" in amerikkka (whatever that means lol)
- Yeah, markets that involve people with the power to buy out politicians, not just Steve spending a fraction of his paycheck on Teflon Don's assured victory

McDonald's Magic

This is /c/electoralism

Who could have predicted this? Certainly not leftists...

Hey I know what could help our campaign, what if we get Hillary on as an advisor? What's the worst that could happen?

What if we got Hillary, but she calls herself Republican? Like Liz Cheney, maybe?
- I envision Reagans brain in a jar like a Futurama skit, cracking jokes, being loveable
- What if Hilary just changes parties. Or her and Liz form a new center republican party
Anyone who worked on Clinton's campaign should have been chased out of politics completely. There's no reason she should have lost to Trump, yet she did due to entitlement and hubris. Any Clinton staffer who came to me for a job on Biden's or Harris' (or even some fucking city treasurer in a town of 500 people) campaign would immediately been told to fuck off and go get a job in another industry.

By this time in 2020 Biden was super up in the polls right, so was hillary? It was never this close

Does thread think the Dems (and even Republicans, why not) target' is to only be ever ~51% popularity, as in deliberately keeping parity between wings in order to maintain plausibility of legitimate govt inaction?

Or is it just a consequence of their extremely similar platforms?

Do you get what I'm trying to say? Is it a feature or a "happy" outcome they simply exploit?

The people with money, the folks politicians actually work for, are likely to be more politically similar than different. Both parties are playing towards their true base.
The primaries are over so neither candidate needs to spend too much time paying lip service to the unwashed masses.
So, why not both "feature" AND "happy outcome"?
I think a large group of Dems actually buy into the triangulator bs that you see in most "left"wing parties (quotations because they're not, but you know what I mean.) I don't know if the leaders buy into it, I know there's some insidious psy-op at the root of it, meant to kneecap any leftist political party, but I think a very large group actually believes the "aw shucks we really do want to do universal healthcare, but we gotta be more rightwing to get into government."
These people never interrogate the validity of the claim, let alone the belief that a politicians task is to get elected.
You'll see this tendency whenever you ask about doing any actual popular policy. "It's more nuanced than that..." "We gotta be bi-partisan..." "We want to be able to get elected..." "We don't want to scare away voters..." "We gotta be realistic..."
Like with the decline of US intelligence agencies I think we are now seeing a generation of people who actually believe the propaganda.
- Yeah the US managed to maintain the separation of propagandized workers and rational imperialist intelligence state mandarins for like...a generation or two, and now everyone just has the same internet brain damage.
the dem ideal is 51% support and 49% of the votes
It's effectively a feature, but the amount of intentionality is grey, I think bourgeois democracy initially fell into this happy outcome, and it's a natural balance that occurs from them acting in self-interest, but it is also maintained actively with laws, culture wars, etc.
Which party people vote for seems to entirely depend on "the other guy is worse", so if both parties do terribly for people when they get in government (and they will because they serve the bourgeois class) then people will always vote for the "only other choice" and voteshame third partyers.
Rinse and repeat and the balance will stay forever around the 50% point while conditions worsen and people remain under the illusion they have a choice.
- Welcome to the oligopoly where the rules are made up and points don't matter
I feel like Biden dropping out almost immediately after Trump almost got domed displays a certain degree of intentionality. Trump was going to run away with it at that point and I dont think they want either party having too much political power. Somebody might try to do something with it if that were the case

Damn, that McDonalds visit really did numbers for Trump.

the McBump

Womp womp

It's all profoundly stupid but I am a piggy addicted to the horse race
Kamala is ahead by a point nationally but this is an interesting sub story that isn't getting a lot of play

So even the chuds are seeing through her chud-bait? What a dogshit politicians lol.

Maybe they don't, but why go for the knock-off when you can have the real deal?
Video game companies learn this lesson once every [popular franchise] cycle, but politicians never do. Legends say they will learn it when movie studios do
chuds don't like the centrist neocons, they call them Republicans In Name Only (RINOs). The type of Republican Kamala will appoint is basically already a democrat to them, this just further proves there's no difference between neolibs and neocons
- Yeah Harris is just about done with her conversion to 2004 Republican that literally neither party wants except for rich people who think it's gonna be fine.
- Very good point, I kind of overlooked that fact. Agree tho, the difference between neoliberal and neoconservative is only what they tell themselves.
