A projected blowout is bad for ad revenue.

They had Hillary with a ten point lead at this point in 2016.

If Harris starts speaking like Clinton then I'd be worried... as worried as a wiped server... you know... with a cloth.

Blame the polls if you want. The race is a coin flip. I find it hard to stomach too, but I'm not in denial about it.

Please note the momentum shift that started just around the DNC convention. Ask yourself what changed in the Harris campaign at that time.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

No, it started after the debate. The DNC told her to abandon her working rhetoric of "not going back." And they told Walz to stop using the weird moniker, which was the first negative connotation that ever really stuck to Trump. It's like they not only don't want to support actual progressive ideas that people actually want, but they also don't want to win.
