@arrrg never forget that so many Trump supporters support him specifically because of this sort of behavior out of him.

He's melting down? He's babbling? Well yeah, that's the sort of stuff that a bulk of his supporters gravitate toward him for. So he's just responding to his audience by embracing that sort of behavior.

To them it's a feature, not a bug.

@volkris @arrrg sure but these shifts in the polls aren't due to "trump supporters" as they've been supporting trump all along. these shifts are independents and undecide-s. how close the last 3 elections have been just go to show how terrible the dems are at campaigning (and/or delivering).

Yeah, it's one of the drums that I bang that I can't believe the Democratic Party (the party itself, not party members, not the everyday person) has botched this so badly.

This should not be close. Harris was a terrible choice that the party made, and if they had had even an abbreviated competition, maybe at the convention, to choose the new nominee, heaven forbid with a process that was vaguely democratic, they would have come up with pretty much any other nominee that would have run circles around Trump.

And I just really feel like we need to hold the party accountable for this whole mess.

@arrrg

@volkris @arrrg as do i, but dont tell the libs. itll be off with your head. how dare we constructively critique the honorable dems.
but yeah 2016 shouldnt have been closed, 2020 shouldnt have been that close. and i dont think its harris. its just a history of campaigning on certain issues, doing at most 10% of that when elected, and then demanding the country praise you for that 10%. fucking elitist shit.
