That's a patently ridiculous poll.

The funny thing is losing 12% of the black vote to a 3rd party candidate that still isn't on enough ballots to win the electoral college should sound some massive alarm bells for the (likely Democrat) pollster, but because they got that Trump 0% figure they brag about it.

Yeah the US dollar is likely doomed to collapse. I think there's a doomsday preppers thread for weathering the worst of it, but as I'm stuck in a small bughive for the foreseeable future i have to pass on it.

RFK Jr. getting 12% of BlaX?! They must have polled 17 of them, with 2 for RFK, 14 for Harris, and 1 undecided.

I have an extremely hard time believing Trump would get 0% among  any demographic. It smells like a wild bias.

Israeli officials criticize Harris' call for end to Gaza war

JERUSALEM, July 26 (Reuters) - Israeli officials criticized U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for the presidency, after she said it was time for the war in Gaza to end given the suffering being caused by the fighting.

Harris' remarks at a press conference following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reflect the growing pressure on Netanyahu from different sides of the political spectrum to reach a deal with Hamas to end the fighting in Gaza.

"There has been hopeful movement in the talks to secure an agreement on this deal, and as I just told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done," she said.

Netanyahu called for more U.S. military aid for Israel on Wednesday, saying that was the best way to restore peace to Gaza and secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.

An unnamed Israeli official said it was to be hoped that Harris' comments would not be interpreted by Hamas as indicating a gap between the United States and Israel "and thus push a deal into the distance."

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, the Republican Party nominee for the election in November, have also called for a swift end to the fighting, triggered by the attack on Israel by Hamas-led fighters last October.

Netanyahu is due to meet Trump later on Friday.

Both Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, leaders of two hardline religious nationalist parties whose support is vital for Netanyahu's right-wing coalition, condemned Harris' remarks.

"Madam candidate, there will be no cessation of hostilities," Ben-Gvir wrote on the social media platform X.

Harris struck a more forceful tone in her remarks than Biden, who has himself pressed Netanyahu increasingly strongly to conclude an agreement with Hamas that would halt the fighting and bring Israeli hostages home.

She defended Israel's right to defend itself but her remarks suggested she was losing patience with Netanyahu's government.

"We cannot allow ourselves to be numb to the suffering and I will not be silent," she said.

It does feel like the fix is in for Harris.

Not for the general election

But for the nomination process. They need to keep propping her up until the convention for smooth sailing. Reality be damned.

I'm not so sure now that the FEC is saying she can't keep all the dark money masked as individual donations that Biden had. Donors are blitzing the propaganda but her numbers are already dwindling and basically every up-and-comer in the party told her to fuck off when it came to a VP nominee. She's likely running with "John McCain, but he's no longer pretending to be a Republican this time" in Mark Kelly and that reeks of desperation.
We'll see what happens in a week and a half when that virtual nomination occurs.
