Harris continues to pull ahead of Trump. Things are looking up.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has opened up a lead against Republican rival former President Trump, particularly among young voters and independents, according to a survey released Monday.

The Morning Consult polling shows the vice president leading Trump 48 percent to 44 percent, the largest lead for a Democratic presidential candidate over Trump in nearly a year.

Harris has a 5-point edge among independents surveyed, 42 percent to 37 percent, and a 9-point lead among voters under 35, 49 percent to 40 percent.

Both groups are considered key indicators of swing voter trends, the pollster noted.

Just look at how blatantly Trump sides with Putin now. This alone tells you that America will be fucked if he gets back into power.

Hillary Clinton condemned former President Donald Trump’s latest praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin in a blistering post on X, formerly Twitter.

“By the way, I would like to congratulate Vladimir Putin for having made yet another great deal. Did you see the deal we made?” Trump asked supporters at a rally in Atlanta. Trump previously boasted that Putin wouldn’t release Gershkovich “for anyone else” but him.

Hilary Clinton quite rightly tore him a new one.

Even Republicans rightly hate Project 2025 so the Dems are making sure that everyone knows about it.

Across the Democratic Party’s most senior levels — within Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and other leading party elections and messaging operations — liberal operatives and politicians are plotting to make sure that between now and Election Day, as many voters as possible know about Project 2025, as well as Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and Republican leaders’ deep connections to it.

With just three months left until the U.S. presidential election, various sectors of the Democratic elite are planning to invest considerable resources toward amplifying the hard-right, Heritage Foundation-hosted policy and personnel initiative in order to damage the Trump-Vance ticket and other GOP candidates, especially in battleground states, according to four people with knowledge of these operations.

New VP Tim Waltz is causing more problems for Trump who's now running even more scared. The moron is even fantasizing about Biden coming back into the race!

Check out these videos all about it.

I'm starting to wonder (and hope) if not only are the Dems gonna win, but it will be by a large amount, the more the better.

Trump is having a mental breakdown! Just check out this unhinged rant that even a Republican is calling him nuts over! He's getting progressively worse as his poll ratings drop, Kamala increases her lead and his stress levels increase. Remember, if he doesn't win that election, he's going to prison over those criminal lawsuits and never coming out.

And this terrifies him!

I seriously can't see him winning the election now. More likely to end up in an asylum, lol.

Here's an article about it published the next day.

Six weeks ago, Joe Biden gave a historically bad debate performance that led to a firestorm of questions about his age, mental acuity and ability to carry out his responsibilities as president. Three weeks later, he withdrew from the 2024 presidential campaign.

We need to have the same conversation about former President Donald Trump’s increasingly unhinged public events and what looks like his diminished capabilities.

Musk very well knows how unhinged Trump is, so what's in it for him to have Trump in power? Despite his enormous wealth and influence, I don't think he's gonna be able to make Trump win. Sure hope not.

“Elon Musk is abusing his privileged position as owner of a small, but politically influential, social media platform to sow disinformation that generates discord and distrust,” according to Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which found that none of Musk’s posts about US elections have been fact-checked.

That one was hilarious! Playing that song was inadvertent comic genius and then having Celine Dion make that comment was icing on the cake. Keep going the way you are, Donny.

 

[Astro What]

Yeah, it's really appropriate that they played a song that is tied to the community mind of a sinking ship to their platform.
Either there is a "traitor" in the Trump team or they are simply just that stupid.

Kamala continues to surge ahead in the polls, causing poor Donny untold problems and stress. She's now at 50% and he's at 46% in all three key states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin which alone are enough to win her the presidency if the numbers stay like this, or better.

Articles like this of how Trump is losing it as he slips further behind Harris are several a day now. Looks like he's going down in flames. Withhold the fire extingisher!

Donald Trump’s advisers are getting increasingly anxious about his flailing public appearances since the attempt on his life and Democrats’ presidential candidate switcheroo—all while knowing he’s unlikely to change.

According to a new Axios report, Trump has grown increasingly angry and frustrated in private as Kamala Harris has surpassed him in multiple polls, a lead that’s only likely to grow after next week’s Democratic National Convention.

Here's an aspect of a second Trump presidency that gets next to no coverage: animal rights and how animals will be abused.

Although former President Donald Trump has very publicly distanced himself from the conservative Heritage Foundation’s infamous Project 2025 plan, we should take seriously much of what the 920-page document tells us about a potential second Trump term.

For one, if Trump wins in November, he may end federal protections for grizzly bears, gray wolves and the greater sage grouse, as the document proposes removing the three animals from the federal government’s list of endangered species.

Environmental groups warn removing the species from protected lists would open them up to being hunted or killed by traps meant to protect farms and ranches while facing loss of critical habitat.

Pretty sickening, as you can see. On the other hand, just look at what Kamala Harris has already done for animals rights and welfare:

Despite J.D. Vance's offensive remarks, it seems Kamala Harris does not have a cat — or any pets, for that matter. But don't let that fool you: Kamala is a passionate advocate for animal welfare! Over the years, she has helped pass a range of pro-animal legislation.

Kamala has worked to crack down on puppy mills, ensuring dogs in commercial breeding facilities get better treatment. She's also fought to prevent animal cruelty and strengthen penalties for those who abuse animals.

On top of that, Kamala has backed laws to protect wildlife and their habitats, including cracking down on illegal wildlife trafficking. And she's even supported efforts to improve conditions for farm animals and push for more humane agricultural practices.

Plus, on Aug. 26, 2019, Kamala took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared four cute photos of dogs in her Senate office.

"Dogs are always welcome in my Senate office, and our team is better for it," she wrote. "A very happy International Dog Day to these four-legged friends who have made my office a whole lot brighter the past couple of years in the Senate."

That's a pretty good record right there and makes her the kind of person that we want in power, among all the other reasons that have been discussed in this thread and more. She's the total opposite to scumbag wannabe dictator Trump and his cronies.

This sounds really dangerous. His efforts to subvert the election in his favour are a real life conspiracy theory, not something a crackpot dreamed up.

If he get his way, the Democrats could have a large win and he'll still get into power. This isn't democracy, it's a coup and he's got lots of people in various places to do his bidding, especially in the Supreme Court to help pull it off. This is unprecedented in American politics.

How Trump could win with the least votes - again

To win the presidency the successful candidate does not necessarily have to get the most votes from the people.

The victor needs the support of a majority of the electoral college - at least 270 out of 538.

Technically the election votes decide the make-up of the college, state by state. Membership does not directly reflect the views of the overall US population.

Republican nominees defeated in the popular vote, including Mr Trump and George W Bush, have become US president in three of the last seven elections.

In 2000, the dispute over Florida went to the US Supreme Court, which ruled in Mr Bush's favour. Since then Mr Trump has made three appointments which have tilted the court in his favour. The justices are likely to back him if there are any legal disputes.

Nightmare, right? The government just can't let this happen. Just no.

How Trump is laying the groundwork for rejecting the election result if he loses

Next week's Democratic National Convention in Chicago will be characterised by a mood of relief among delegates. The switch of candidate from the aged Joe Biden to his vice president Kamala Harris has put the party back in contention in this year's general election, when it seemed set to be...

The American framers of the constitution didn't have much faith in the common people's popular vote, so they created the electoral college with delegates, hence the long disputed electoral vote. A lot American's believe the popular vote is what wins the election and both parties have disputed the electoral process. I do see how anyone can view this process as concerning, especially in the current state of America's angry politics; I get it. The other part of the electoral college is creating a balance in the vote because some states are very large, whereas other states are small; it's that representation thing. The argument for maintaining the electoral college is... If you have a few large states always voting the same way, Americans may have a perpetual party in power for a long time.

I think anything can happen in the next 80 days that could sway delegates commitments. In America, we always have that "October surprise" which is a large event of some consequence that tends to sway voters before the election. It's usually a major disaster, a tell all book, or in Trump's case, could very well be imprisonment, which, Judge Merchan will be deciding on Trumps sentencing.

MSN

Merchan, who was due to sentence Trump on July 11, wrote in response that he'll rule on the defense immunity application on September 6, and postponed Trump's sentencing until September 18.

omg Donny, this is so embarrassing!

Donald Trump returned to his beauty pageant roots Saturday to rate his opponent Kamala Harris’ physical attributes—but compared the Democratic candidate not to other women, but to himself.

It was the first time he had put himself head-to-head with Harris in the beauty stakes, and not surprisingly, he came out on top. The reason for turning the presidential race into a beauty contest was her appearance on the cover of Time magazine, something which has obsessed the Republican candidate since it happened earlier this week.

I think this charlatan must be beyond desperate now.

Oh and the trolling is working, like, really working!

Straight out of the gate, Kamala Harris' campaign strategy has felt scrappy and fearless, decked out in Charlie XCX greenery and winking at self-referential memes.

But despite feeling like a huge departure from a more austere operation under Joe Biden, it's actually not, political strategists told Business Insider.

The campaign is now just landing its hits thanks to a younger and more innately online candidate at the top of the ticket.

"It's the same people doing the exact same thing," Democratic strategist Keith Edwards told Business Insider. "The only thing that has changed is the candidate."

The same strategists are simply landing more blows thanks to a younger and more comfortably online candidate at the top of the ticket.
