She's doing it. "The same Black voters who split 70% for Biden to 23% for Trump in previous polling now break 78% for Harris to 15% for Trump." ππΏ
Future president Kamala Harris did not come to play games. If this holds, and Black folk check and re-check their voter registration every month, then Harris wins.

CNN/SSRS polling still makes the same mistake that everyone makes about US elections: They report on the category "people of color,"π€¦πΏββοΈ
What color? Is it Black?
Think youβre registered to vote? Think again. With all this purgeβn going on, you could be xβd out and not know it. So, check online with your Sec of State or call your County Board of Elections. Then register your girlfriend, your wife, and your mailman.
Then contact the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, League of Women Voters, Rock the Vote or Black Voters Matter, and commit to a couple of days at your local registration drive. In Florida, it may mean youβll get arrested. Iβll send a file in a cake.
Also, as an "official act" (hello SCOTUS!), Biden should unilaterally make voting day a national holiday so no one has to choose between participating in democracy or still having a job.
And create a universal vote-by-mail incentive that's so good even red states can't turn it down.
And maybe replace postmaster DeJoy. Like, what the heck. How is that trump stooge still in office?
The media spent a month talking about Biden's mental faculties. They talked about almost nothing else until Biden stepped down.
Now, suddenly, the media has decided that the mental faculties of a presidential candidate is no longer a national emergency that requires constant discussion, and have largely moved on to other topics.
Manchin & Sinema sabotaged initiatives & were rewarded handsomely for it.
They were literally bribed by Republican donors.
1. Voting rights
2. Election security
3. Minimum wage
4. Carried interest tax loophole
5. Green New Deal
6. Public education protections
7. Immigration reform & border security
8. Russian sanctions
9. Saudi Arabia weaponry
10. Jan 6 investigation
11. Reproductive access
12. Senate confirmations
13. Filibuster Rules
14. Gun safety
1/2
@Tharpa @ScottSoCal @locksmithprime @otownKim @Lightfighter So then: Highway to Hell
"I havenβt seen this level of mass enthusiasm for a Presidential candidate since the Obama '08 campaign. The party is united, and energized. They donβt want to spend a few weeks evaluating who the candidate with the highest favorability rating might be. They want to stand together, declaring in one voice 'We wonβt go back' and defeat the existential threat posed by Trumpism."

@ScottSoCal @Tharpa @locksmithprime @otownKim @Lightfighter Iβd suggest Dylanβs Knocking on Heavenβs Door but no one would answer him
@locksmithprime @JonChevreau @otownKim @Lightfighter Jesus, that sounds so freaking awesome, I hope you're right. It certainly tracks, according to google. π
Andreessen makes it clear -expects presidential attention -getting since he was 23. Given the number of times Andreessen & Horowitz make refs. to various meetings with various pols, it's easy to get the impression -mostly insulted -they're being treated like ordinary constituents.
Looking at a simple trade against personal liberty -abortion, the rights of gay & trans ppl & possibly democracy itself -IN FAVOR OF #crypto, #AI, & a tax policy they like better.
