Does Harris seem to be running a campaign that will beat Trump "in a landslide"? Is that really how the election is looking to you?
That's not what they said.
Sure sounded like it. I just want to be clear: It's not going to be a landslide. It's going to be nail-bitingly close. People shouldn't lie to themselves.
It's a call for votes as increasing distance between Harris and trump counts represent increasing the challenge of stealing the election.
"A landslide" represents the Highwater mark of the point, wherein it is completely impossible for trump to steal, and is illustrative in that it identifies the goal.
Does it look like we're going to reach that goal? Is Harris running the kind of campaign that can actually obtain a landslide?
Who knows. That's not what's being discussed.
Yes it is! They literally said that votes from "people like me" would make a landslide.
That's a joke. Most of the people like me are fringe and irrelevant. We can't give her a landslide, even if all of .ml and lemmygrad and hexbear voted for Harris.
She will not get a landslide because she is running a bad campaign. It has nothing to do with a few irrelevant leftists.
Nobody with a vote is irrelevant. It is simply too big a risk to let Trump win again. We need every last vote. We need all the leftists, communists, anarchists, whoever. It isn't about supporting the system or Harris. It's about stopping an imminent catastrophe.
