Summary

Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.

Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.

Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.

    I blame stupid voters AND Republicans trying to pull of a coup through voter suppression.

    Up next, endless court cases in an attempt to get SCOTUS to hand over the election to Trump.

      I blame years of powerful people trying to ensure that people are not educated and are fed a diet of misinformation with a consistent narrative.

      It’s a symbol about how far Republicans have truly fallen. Even George W. Bush could’ve and might’ve admitted defeat if he had lost the 2004 run. John McCain, respectfully has given Obama appraisal for winning over him in 2008. Mitt Romney was respectful too.

      But 2020 with Trump? Throws the biggest fucking tantrum ever in the history of all elections and this country alone. By attempting a coup and an insurrection because he refused to admit that he lost.
