I definitely don't want to endorse ANYONE and I'm not a big lover of the Democratic Party but it is very funny to me that more or less every viable candidate who could possibly oppose Harris has either expressly endorsed her or announced they're not running, so all the crypto-conservative ghouls are now left holding their limp dicks in one hand and Joe Manchin in the other.
Like, that's fucking hilarious.

(I did tell you it would be her tho, did I not? A couple weeks ago even? They're gonna go through the motions because it would be a bad look to just pick the nominee; but they picked the nominee and the folks who run this bus ride did have a plan. You don't have to LIKE that plan, but it's not "they don't have a plan" so much as "they need a picture show to quiet skittish donors." This is how the sausage gets made. Always. 'The Party decides." )

(Harris is going to have to win a "mini-primary" much in the same way as Joe had to "win the primaries" this year - it's going to be a farce because nobody but no-hopers and crypto-republicans are going to run against her.)

Anyway, now that we're here, are all you folks that screamed at me that "reading the polls" was actually a "racist conspiracy" gonna say you're sorry or naw?
AnarchoNinaWrites
I literally told you how this was gonna go. I told you Joe was cooked, I told you Harris would be the nominee.
And so many of you responded by going full Zero Hedge comments section and screeching loudly it was fucking unbearable.
I'm not gonna hold my breath for an apology but in the future could you simply refrain from accusing me of being a crypto fascist working for billionaires because you don't happen to like what I say and you can't be arsed to read polls for years at a time?

Dems literally raised 30M dollars today. In one day. So just MAYBE you were wrong, and it wasn't all a plot by 5 mysterious rich people to throw the election and it was that millions of Dem voters have eyes, ears, and can read polls...
Just maybe...
(Daily Koz brain is fucking exhausting.)
*eye roll*
excited for the mastodon rise
@AnarchoNinaWrites Biden had a significantly better chance than anyone else.
Harris is gonna run smack dab into the two foundational principles of this country: Racism and misogyny. It fucking sucks, but likely we just lost double-digit numbers of white-women in swing states and that's gonna push the election in the wrong way a lot.
not to mention the same media that's been a problem will now roll out every attack they used on Obama, Clinton, AND Biden on harris.
We are fucked.

@qkslvrwolf Lol, go away. There is no "we" here and I'm not your fucking therapist. Joe Biden was going to lose this election, he had 3.5 years to turn those polls around and didn't get there. He can't speak full sentences.
The rest is just screeching. Now go tell someone who gives a shit.
excited for the mastodon rise
@AnarchoNinaWrites read the polls that show harris doing no better than biden?
Those polls?
AnarchoNinaWrites
@qkslvrwolf She wasn't the nominee? She can speak full sentences? She has four months to campaign?
Nobody guaranteed you a win, just that Joe Biden was gonna lose.
excited for the mastodon rise
@AnarchoNinaWrites Joe Biden's always had a fucking stutter and that didn't prevent him from being the best president of my life
He's also consummate proof that "doing good things' will never get you any support from all the people who claim that "if you just do good things, people will support you" which has always been a fucking lie because nothing is ever good enough for shitbag purists who couldn't pull a democratic theory of power out of a gift wrapped box.
He was gonna win. Harris won't.
AnthonyJK-Admin
No, he wasn't. He wouldn't have made it even to September without his daily gaffes, and the more he stayed, the more he dragged the rest of the party down with him. He should have been gone even before the primary season began.

@AnarchoNinaWrites
honestly, i know this is all ghoul games for murderous ghouls, but i gotta admit that whoever got all the declarations of support lined up so cleanly without leaking anything did a good job of it
lkngrrr
Not contesting any of that.
I would just like to say as an aside, though, as a statistician those polls *are* crap and the most commonly referenced meta-poll aggregation analyst works for literal vampire Peter Thiel.
The math don’t lie, but the data selection do.
