I don't think this article is good journalism. The guy is taking the very incorrect polling from 2016 and 2020 and claiming that because Harris isn't at that level of incorrect polling and that her lead is only 1-2 points that that means she's losing bad. Which completely disregards how inaccurate polls have been since roe was overturned. They were predicting a 30 seat swing in 2022 and that was no where close. It also doesn't take into account the amount of polls that are far right rigged polls to try and flood the averages to make it seem like Trump is so far ahead that he will naturally win and they will only lose by cheating. Providing cover to challenge the election when he loses.
Also. This quote is near the end. "Democrats have only two hopes. One is that today’s polls are more accurately gauging the electorate, and that Harris is therefore at least close to where she needs to be. The other is that by suddenly coming out of hiding to take friendly interviews, she can convince an electorate that seems unconvinced." Which is. Just. So fucking stupid. Openly saying one of the reasons things are closer with the polls being at least a bit more accurate than 2020 and 2016, and then saying Harris has just recently "Come out of hiding"? That's just bullshit far right talking points. She's been doing interviews and rallies for well over a month as well as the debate that was a bit over a month ago. This is the same shit as when someone says "but what about her policies? She's been so vague" which is also bs because if you want to know her policies all you have to do is LISTEN to her. But of course gotta have the far right talking point of her not being able to explain her policies.
This article was also written by J.T. Young who is the author of the upcoming book, “Unprecedented Assault: How Big Government Unleashed America’s Socialist Left” so if that doesn't tell you his leanings for the interpretation he's putting forth then nothing will.
But just in case, here's some of his articles from the Washington Examiner "Why's Harris so bad in interviews?", Democrats need to replace their own radicalization, not sotomayor", "Sorry Joe, you're no capitalist.", and "Biden has no right to take credit for slowing inflation".
Oh and some of his The Federalist articles "Trump should hit biden for completely ignoring the fentanyl problem", "Leftists' open borders and defund-police policies have come home to roost", and "Trump assassination attempts are the logical result of the Lefts Marxist 'Oppresion' narrative".
All those articles are from the last 4 years, some past couple months. Bu what I find interesting about this particular article is it shows just how much the far right has invaded the mainstream media and how they are given a platform to spew their propaganda. But hey, this was an "interesting" article.
"I dIdN't VoTe fOr EiTher oF tHeM" is their usual response to something like this, even though they're fully aware that voting third party while we have the EC is just voting to spoil the better candidate of the two major parties.
You’re working really overtime posting these, aren’t ya buddy?
No.
How do you feel about trump’s obvious mental decline, his failure to provide health or tax records, and avoids any debate with Kamala?
I think he's an idiot. And he's going to lose the election. It won't even be close.
Why do you want to promote such an obvious detrement to America? Are you American?
The link is a verified legit news source. I didn't write the article. All I did was post a link to it. And I've already voted in this election, friend. Thanks! :)
Yeah, it's very normal to go out of your way to post opinion articles by... Let's see...
J.T. Young is the author of the upcoming book, “Unprecedented Assault: How Big Government Unleashed America’s Socialist Left” and has over three decades of experience working in Congress, the Department of Treasury, and the White House Office of Management and budget, and representing a Fortune 20 company.
That's just a legit news source you're postin' there big guy. Nice and extra legit. It's also really cool how you definitely don't have an agenda and just reassured all of us.
Of course, I take all of that with a grain of salt, because the only thing that matters is how people vote. And I wouldn’t be surprised if people lie to surveyors for fun and profit.
It's not that complicated, Harris is objectively a piece of shit, exceedingly few that care slightly about human rights or workers rights would ever approve of her as a candidate.
But some find Trump bad enough to say Harris should be president.
It's like the choice between getting shot in the head or neck. The right choice is neither, but some only think within arbitrary rules and thus choose the neck to prolong their hapless suffering.
