3. Seriously? 😳 She is our de facto nominee.

We all support her on this site now.

[BannonsLiver]

5. What's your favorite pizza topping?

39. It's like having

one of our beast fiends stiop in for a quick visit.

[sheshe2]

40. If it is who I think it is, you described her perfectly.

This time their name was ThanQ. They can be relentless in their reincarnations.

I can’t wait to get back on MIRt again.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Welcome

[JohnSJ]

11. and his comment about she "never competed in a primary", only points to the posters

ignorance, or perhaps cognitive decline, since in 2020 VP Harris did run for President.

I suspect that poster is coming from the dark side, and is probably getting worried, and the trump camp is.

I might add, they should be.

[orange jar]

16. Yep.

There's been quite an influx of drive-by right wing trolls lately. Probably the same person, tbh. I've seen some in a few threads I've replied to.

Seems like they're getting scared and desperate. As they should be.

[Linda ladeewolf]

33. I've heard this elsewhere too

They gave basically the same answer. It doesn’t matter, she was the vp on the ticket, we knew when Biden was elected she would be president if anything went wrong. So we have essentially voted for her as president also. Now we’ll just vote for her as president in reality. Do these people even think?

[JohnSJ]

41. The comment by the person was she never had gone through a primary, and that

was wrong. When she ran for President in 2020 she did go through primaries.

This was before she was selected as VP, and before we had a nominee.

If you notice I was referring to the comment made by the person who had his post removed because he was putting Harris down.

[Linda ladeewolf]

44. Understood.

Depending on how you look at it, we’ve voted for her twice in a way. As Vice president the first time and vice president in this primary alongside Biden, most of us knew she would be president if something happened to Biden. Right? So she’s been vetted and voted on. I am relieved that she has so much spunk! I’ll be 70 in November so, my spunk is about gone. I think I used it all up between 2016 and now. I don’t pay much attention to these people, they just want to start something.

[JohnSJ]

45. I agree

[Klarkashton]

10. "sliced bread" was the last greatest thing?

Bye bye.

[Initech]

2. Scary that RFK Jr has any support at all.

[orange jar]

9. There was a time when sexually assaulting someone would end a campaign forever.

I guess the RFK Jr. diehards are infected with the same brain worms he has.

[modrepub]

13. Or Accepting Unreported "Gifts"

But certain SC Justices beg to differ and no one seems to even bat an eyelash these days.

[Cheezoholic]

20. Or questionable plagiarizing in a campaign speech

I mean The Fat Felon stole Rayguns entire campaign, including the assholes running it.

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

23. Remember when admitting you smoked pot was a big deal

Kennedy is an ex-heroin addict. Just amazes me you can have a candidate like that.

[writes3000]

4. Thanks for keeping us in the loop, DSB! Very encouraging.

And I’m laughing at those sour grapes I see. Also encouraging.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. What poll is this?

Nothing posted.

[honest.abe]

15. UNH

[honest.abe]

14. Nice! Also the previous most recent Maine polling I could find had Trump 1 point ahead of Biden.

43% Trump
42% Biden
15% Kennedy

[moonscape]

25. Wow. Kennedy was at 15%?

He took a refreshing hit!

[honest.abe]

32. The Mainesters seem to have been obsessed with the Kennedy name.

I think they now realize he's not of the same cloth.

[lees1975]

36. How in the heck could Kennedy poll 15%?

That's ridiculous and makes me question the accuracy of the polls, especially since Biden was down by one. Surely someone looked at that data and said there had to be something wrong with the factoring.

[onandup]

17. Maine is blue isn't it?

Nice to see, but Biden and Clinton both carried it.

[aeromanKC]

22. Maine splits their EC's

Usually one of their Electoral College votes goes GOP.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

31. Trump was ahead by one there in May.

[JI7]

18. We need to get the truth out about Kennedy

many are just supporting the name and think of his father and uncles.

[PatrickforB]

19. You know, I am basking in this wonderful energy around the Harris campaign.

Looking forward to see other polls in other states move like this.

[Rubyshoo]

21. K & R

[Self Esteem]

24. Reminder: this is just a poll of Maine.

[GPV]

27. Hey! As Maine goes, so goes the nation. (We hope.)

[Self Esteem]

28. haha fun fact: that was a joke on election night 1936.

Polling was far less reliable back then (well more inconsistent) and The Literary Digest put out a massive poll of their own (2.38 million people participated in the poll) and it had Alf Landon beating FDR with 57% of the vote and nearly 400 electoral votes.

So, no one really knew what to expect?

As the results came in, Maine went to Landon and then Vermont went to Landon ... ushering in what some thought might be a massive landslide for Landon.

Those were the only two states Landon won. In terms of electoral votes, it remains the largest margin of victory since the largely uncontested race of 1820.

So, the FDR campaign joked, "As Maine goes, so goes Vermont..." lol

[GPV]

42. LOL

[Johnny2X2X]

26. These are important

10 days ago some blue states were looking like battleground states. Now Maine and NH appear solid blue again. We can attack the true crucial states with $$$$

[kerry-is-my-prez]

30. People here do not realize how bad of shape we were in.

On one map, they were showing New Jersey as a toss up!

[Johnny2X2X]

37. Agree

There was a good bit of denial going on because we were trying to stay positive and we all love Biden so much. I live in Michigan, when I saw Trump +7 here is was shocking and I knew Joe was going to have a tough time making up all of that when every speech was going to be gone over with a fine toothed comb for any misspeaking.

Joe still could have won, but he would have had to be flawless going forward. One more gaffe or bad performance and he was going to have a tougher time.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

29. She's ahead by 6 or 7 pts in New Hampshire

+7 Harris - 7/24-7/25 UNH Survey
+6 Harris - 7/24-7/25 UNH Survey
(W/Kennedy)

[moniss]

34. They're counting on Brain Worm

to peel off enough votes in the swing states.

[Sky Jewels]

46. He hurts the Pants Shitter/Couch Fucker ticket more

than the D ticket, which is awesome.

[lees1975]

35. We need to figure out a way to help Jill Stein decide to sit this one out.

Doesn't she have a more productive way of earning a living? She can't win, and if Trump does, everything she and her party supports goes down the toilet. So why bother, except to grab off a share of whatever pie they're getting. What a worthless, who cares effort.

Kennedy drawing votes indicates a bigger problem with people's thinking than voting for the orange headed buffoon does.

[orange jar]

38. I think Jill Stein is truly delusional.

She seems to surround herself in a bubble where likeminded, naive individuals hype her up as some incredibly important candidate who's standing up to the elites in both parties.

She (and her enablers) vastly overestimate her significance in mainstream politics. Unfortunately, she somehow does have enough support (even if it's very little) to earn the title of "unnecessary spoiler candidate". Same goes to Cornel West… ick.

[FlyingPiggy]

43. We haven't even started yet!! I'm energized!
