    Harris polls in 1st place

    Lemmy Leftists: “no one wants Harris!”

    Y’all are in a bubble.

        Unfortunately that poll had some very loaded wording in it that doesn’t necessarily lead to the conclusion it’s trying to present

          From page 20:

          Do you support more Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and “fight harder”, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise on Trump issues important to their base?

          72% of Democratic voters answered “yes”.

          Go ahead and point out this alleged “loaded wording”.

            You don’t see it?

            You’re assuming that because they want more candidates to obstruct the current administration, that they would also prefer those candidates and throw actual policies in every other situation.

            Because they mixed progressive and opposing the admin together in one question, you can’t tell which part is really what they’re agreeing with.

            Using this specific question to claim they want more progressive candidates is futile. This is basic polling literacy stuff…

              The problem is that you think people are too stupid to understand the question, and only you are smart enough to figure it out.

              It’s a basic question asking if people prefer Dems like AOC and Sanders, who have a more aggressive stance against Trump, over moderate Dems who will compromise with Trump. It’s very straightforward.

                Nowhere did I imply I was the only one who could understand it. What i did say was that the was this was worded could not be taken to mean the same as the stripped down version you presented.

                Half of Americans read at or below a 6th grade level. This is NOT a straightforward question in the way you’re claiming. In case you haven’t been paying attention, this country is full of absolute morons who continue to vote against their own interests because of some memes on the Internet…

      Harris is guaranteed to lose 2028 if she is somehow the dem nominee instead of the republican nominee. There aren’t enough right wingers willing to abandon the name republican to vote for her.

        She just hasn’t moved to the right enough yet! How many more cheneys are there? Any more minorities to break solidarity with?

      We’ll see how your fucking bubble turns out when the time comes. Harris couldnt even beat fucking Trump and you think she will win a primary? Batshit.

      This is why Kamala Harris famously won the 2020 nomination and went on to become president, because she was polling in first place before the campaign process started.

        Famously was a strong contender across all of 2020 and won her home state easily!

        Wait she fucking flopped in a sea of other milquetoast candidates, which is why they all dropped out before Super Tuesday to help Biden.

          Yeah, just like she was in 2019 before the campaign started, which is why she was elected president.

          I guess the difference is that those polls were only like a year out from the election while this one’s over three years away. Maybe that means this one will be more meaningful?? Somehow???
