    Unless the polls are wildly wrong this year, then what I am saying is the objective truth. Kamala is losing this election. The polls could be wrong; but they are probably not. That being unsettling to you doesn’t make it false.

    And what we do know is that just about the time that Kamala started to shift to the right, this coincides with her loss in momentum and subsequent stalling out, and then backsliding in the polls.

    And I’ve got to keep repeating it because a cult-like mentality of denying reality has gripped many people. Its sad and uncomfortable that she isn’t doing better. But we have to live in a fact based world, even if we don’t want to hear it.

    Reality: Kamala’s polling numbers have gone to shit.

    Reality: She was doing really well up until the convention. On the final day of the convention, she refused to platform a Gazan and instead platformed several Republicans.

    Reality: She then accepted Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney’s endorsements, both neoconservatives, and started pitching herself as a “bi-partisian” good for business candidate, going so far as to hit the campaign trail with Liz Cheney.

    Reality: These shifts in policy, rhetoric, and how she was campaigning correlate almost exactly with when she stalled out and began to slide in polling.

      Unless the polls…

      Gonna stop ya there champ. This is where you made a mistake.

      Pols aren’t facts.

      Didn’t bother reading the rest. You’re stating an opinion based on polling. You have no idea what you’re talking about here.

        I mean for you, it seems like facts aren’t facts. You are literally refusing to participate in a shared reality.

          I don’t participate in bullshit predictions by people who have zero credentials to accurately make predictions.

          Fee free to continue stating opinions as fact, and I’ll continue to call you out for it as I’ve done here.

          I’m not entering a back and forth with you on this.

            Yeah I got it from previous comment. No need to repeat yourself. You live in a world of personal fantasy disconnected from any kind of objective reality where we would have to just “agree” on some verifiable facts, like the results of a poll.
