Decided to log on twitter to check some shit and BAM! 3 posts sucking Kamala's clit like crazy straight into my frontpage. Extremely obvious shilling, they are throwing everything they can on this. Loads of replies screaming positive support too with extremely canned takes and a very interesting abundance of blue heart emojis.

They are really going all in to try and manufacture consent here. It isn't gonna work out when you have no enthusiasm IRL. These people really think twitter is real life.

It's like projection at this point.

It's all too much and too obvious.

Who are the pollsters who are the most accurate?

Not exactly pollsters, but I generally feel betting odds have the most vested interest in being accurate.
There's money (and lots of it) on the table for them, whereas conventional pollsters don't really lose anything if they're inaccurate (and have a vested interest in pushing narratives).

A little powerlevel here, but most of the roasties/single moms I know IRL work as waitresses, bartenders, and strippers -- and they're always broke and bitching about customer's tips on Facebook. I know they're almost certainly going to unanimously vote for Kamala regardless, but I wonder how this tax free tips things will throw a wrench into it.

How is this any less copeful? Sorry Republifags, but Harris is gaining as she gets name recognition and people look into her successful record in California. Data point: California turned to shit after she left.

Yep. Also keep in mind how brainless the average voter is. Copmala didn't shit herself in front of the Pope, didn't fuck up the Afghanistan withdrawal, and didn't cause skyhigh inflation. To the average voter, that was Biden. Copmala dindu nuffin and has nuffin to do with the failures of the Biden regime.

She also isn't pushing 80 like Trump, and the big thing pushing down voter enthusiasm was no one wanted another ancient ass president. Now there's only one ancient ass person in the race. She's also far-left enough to draw support from RFK Jr and Jill Stein, only the diehard Palestinian worshippers are going to hold her association with Genocide Joe against her. Hell, she did a great job avoiding Netanyahu's visit the other day, which is great for her image.

Anyone saying how low of votes she got in the Dem primaries should remember Biden ran several times for president and never received more than 1% of the primary vote and dropped out early every time for embarrassing shit like plagiarizing a speech from a Bri'ish politician before he "won" in 2020.

Don't kid yourself

Something like 80% of the world would love to see the US go up in flames. They're tired of the US hegemony and would gladly assist in fanning a civil war.

China comes to mind pretty damn quick not to mention the middle east sultanates. All hate the US with a passion while mouthing friendly nothings because they can't oppose US strength.

Even supposed allies would love to see the US fall. Don't tell me the Euro-cucks wouldn't salivate over the idea of a US implosion and the power vacuum it would leave for the to fill. Or that Japan wouldn't love to reestablish it's center over Asia and be done with US dominance.

And would any of these countries have the economic power to be the world police? Probably not so more brush wars start up and we go back to a multi-polar world order which is much more unstable and volatile.

There are no friends in international politics. The only people the US really can count on is Canada because without the US Canada collapses into a third world nation overnight. So that's not really a ally, more of a parasite.

The US is alone at the top and really the world order needs them to stay there but I'll be damned if the US elites don't give a single shit and would happily burn the world to the ground as long as they're the ones in control of the ashes.

Late on this, but most of the world depends on us for military might/arms. Its why we spend so much and they dont. They hate us, but they need us.

As Kamala Harris appears poised to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, a past connection between herself and Donald Trump has garnered interest: the GOP nominee once donated to her re-election campaign while Harris was serving as California attorney general.

From 2011 to 2013, Trump gave $6,000 to Harris’s campaign. Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, also donated $2,000 to Harris in 2014.

The past disclosure began to circulate on social media as Harris announced her intention to "earn and win" the Democratic nomination.

As Kamala Harris appears poised to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, a past connection between herself and Donald Trump has garnered interest: the GOP nominee once donated to her re-election campaign while Harris was serving as California attorney general.
From 2011 to 2013, Trump gave $6,000 to Harris’s campaign. Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, also donated $2,000 to Harris in 2014.
The past disclosure began to circulate on social media as Harris announced her intention to "earn and win" the Democratic nomination.

Trump: 'I've given to everybody'​

News about the donation first started to circulate in 2020, when Harris was running as Biden's Vice President. USA TODAY's Fact Check explored the claim then and rated it True, noting:
"Though Donald Trump has a history of derisive comments about Harris since taking office, political contribution data, reviewed by USA TODAY on the California Secretary of State website show he gave $5,000 to Harris during her first bid for attorney general in 2011 and $1,000 in 2013 during her reelection. Ivanka Trump contributed $2,000 in 2014 for Harris' reelection campaign."
In 2015, Harris redistributed the donations by giving the funds to a nonprofit focused on Central American civil rights.
“It’s interesting: I was looking at the ones I’m running against. I’ve contributed to most of them. Can you believe it?” Trump said while campaigning in 2016. “I’ve given to Democrats. I’ve given to Hillary. I’ve given to everybody! Because that was my job. I gotta give to them. Because when I want something, I get it. When I call, they kiss my (expletive). ”The spotlight on these donations comes as President Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race and endorsing Harris. Biden’s exit followed a challenging debate performance that led to calls for him to step down, many within his own party.

The Democratic nominee to replace Biden will be decided during the Democratic National Convention, which takes place in Chicago from August 19 to August 22. Since Biden cannot appoint a replacement, his delegates will determine the nominee at the DNC.

My favorite thing about this is how it's supposed to own Trump despite that being a decade ago.

Can someone explain to me why Anna K keeps on tweeting and talking like she isn't one of the dems who was pushing for decriminalization and other retarded policies? She is directly responsible, with the young turks, for societal damage (trans shit, i.e kid mutilation and rapes, until it actually affected her) as well as specific person damage (the bike karen for example). Fuck, she denied the genocide of her own fucking people, only until the backlash was too much. Some of that she's gone back on but IMHO it doesn't feel genuine, but like she sees the winds a chaging, and doesn't want to be held responsible.

Long story short? She started getting fucked over by the shitlib policies regarding non enforcement of laws.

Yes. Trump was big on everyone paying what they’d agreed to. Europe got very mad when they were forced to actually hold up their end of the bargin.

I remember the seething there. It made it clear that Europe sees America as its colony still.

Going after tip compliance is one of the biggest hustles the IRS has.

Wouldn't be surprised if she's already with talks with Shapiro to join the griftosphere. That she's mildly attractive suddenly means all is forgiven.
