A new poll in New Hampshire shows Vice President Kamala Harris is six points ahead of former President Donald Trump in the battleground state.
The survey of more than 2,000 registered New Hampshire voters by Saint Anselm College took place on July 24-25, after Harris secured enough delegate support to become the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
Harris leads Trump 50% to 44% in the poll. A poll taken by Saint Anselm in June after President Biden struggled in the debate showed Trump edging out Biden in New Hampshire by two points.
I hope that orange fuck just gets crushed when election day rolls around. Then we’ll never have to hear from him again.
god that would be so awesome to see him decimated by a woman of color… the electoral college is a huge issue but there’s finally some energy on the Dem side… we’ll see.
he’ll whine but I’m pretty sure if he loses he’ll spend the rest of his time on house arrest at his resort
Look at the trend from across the world. The far-right is not crushed-- only kept at bay. Marine Le Pen and her party in France have been going at it for 7 years now. Without the tactical voting in previous elections, her party would have won. AfD surpassed the centre left SDP party as the second most popular party and it may only be a matter of time for another far right party to rule Germany again. And the far-right, as we speak, is in charge in Italy along with Mussolini’s granddaughter. In Netherlands, Geert Wilders’ party is finally in power despite initially losing 7 years ago.
The liberal media’s celebration of any news of far right not winning in any country is false sense of security and deliberate attempt to misdirect the real root cause. If the underlying economic and social issues are not addressed, and the rich are being allowed to get even richer while the poor ever poorer, the far right will only inch closer and closer to attaining power again.
Why? I don’t get this. I understand people are upset with the status quo but there is no version of the far right that has not played the same game when in power. They offer no solution to the problem you state
They complain and they offer a bogeyman. That’s enough for most people since it comforts them.
Precisely. The lack of jobs and housing are blamed on immigrants, even though decades long austerity and neoliberalism led us to where we are now.
Yup, this is just a replay of early 20th century. Inequality exploded and eventually you had revolutions virtually everywhere (in europe and the west, ar least).
Some were extreme-left (communism)
Some were extreme-right (facism)
Some were far-left for the time (social-democratic, or “new deal” as it’s known in the US)
Some were violent, some were relatively peaceful.
But they were basically all inevitable, the people were frustrated and willing to support whatever platform promised something ‘different’.
We’re at that point currently, but only the far-right is offering anything different, so even though it’s a terrible option, people will gravitate towards it. The solution is to offer genuine vision of change from the left.
There is no scenario besides death where that last sentence is true. Even then you’re going to be hearing the same shit from his supporters for a long time.
I think you’re correct, but if he becomes completely nonviable, the party will phase him out. He’s a useful-ish idiot right now. That might not be true for long, and then maybe his legal safety nets will stop protecting him once they see he can’t do anything for them.
