    Which is why 1% lead in polls is not very promising for kamala

    And on top of that I’m assuming the polls have a margin of error at the very least of 2%

      I mean this is why any blue maga from the previous 8 months needs to be named, shamed, and tied to a stake at the edge of town.

      Democrats never needed to be in this position, and it wasn’t Biden to blame for the unforced error, but the anti democratic culture within the DNC, main stream media, and large social media that worked it’s ass of to shut down any questioning of Biden as presumptive nominee. That did more damage than Trump ever could have. Trump isn’t the reason Harris starts off polling in the 40s, Blue MAGA is.

      The VP pick up seems make or break for the early momentum Harris got. Shapiro seems like cold water; Walz seems like it would add fuel. If she goes Shapiro, this 1% week over week delta is going to stall out, because she’s signaled to progressives and black and brown people she doesn’t take Gaza seriously and that puts MI on the chopping block.

      Prob the most interesting presidential race in a hundred years.

        Oh swallow that whole bowl of shit and quit complaining, she’s going to choose Hillary Clinton lol

        (From Nina Turner Wikipedia page)

        She told Peter Nicholas of The Atlantic, "it’s like saying to somebody, 'You have a bowl of shit in front of you, and all you’ve got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing.
