I mean, he’s up across the board in all the swing state polls. When you are up on points and are looking to run out the clock, you run prevent defense. Its the same reason he’s not going to take another debate; that would help Harris. Reduce surface area, reduce exposure, don’t give opportunities for mistakes.
I’m not sure why you’re getting down voted, you’re right. Going strictly by polls and ignoring registrations (which are trending favorable for R), strategy, finance, early voting, etc. Trump was neck and neck with Harris up to the debate. The debate say the sharpest shift toward Harris. Afterwards, he has been sticking to Golf and Rallies of his most loyal supporters, keeping him away from the general public. That put the polls back to a toss up.
If he did another debate, he’s on display to everyone again and that won’t go his way. Even if Harris fucks up, he’s still a fascist in decline. His campaign knows he needs to stay in safe spaces until the election is over
Lemmings prefer their echo chamber, where if they just vote hard enough, they’ll be able to blame people who confronted them with evidence when they lose.
How the hell are people changing something in politics if they don’t vote?
Edit: incoming copy paste in 4, 3 , 2, …
Not sure why this is getting down voted. It’s a pretty damn good assessment imo.
Lemmy is generally allergic to anything that isn’t cheer leading for Dems.
I think there are plenty of instances that aren’t, and those don’t include the hyper tanky/toxic ones. The big instances have tended to skew neoliberal though.
Reality skews left. The technoliterate and those who inhabit more obscure internet forums, more so. It’s a bit like going to an FFA meeting and spouting off some ignorant shit that is generally leftist like “humans are meant to be vegetarian” then, when you get shouted down and proven wrong, saying “wow this place is so conservative.”…yeah, it is more likely to lean one way AND you are spouting off nonsense. You would get hate.
No, he isn’t up in all the swing state polls. Only in some of them. It took me less than five minutes to find that you were wrong, because of course you were wrong. There are many polls out there, and you tried to claim that they all showed one thing, when of course they didn’t.
(If you want to argue that your preferred polls show something, you can make that argument. And we could debate the reliability of those particular polls. At least then we could start with facts and disagree about how to interpret them.)

Or you could look at, you know, literally any other political news outlet. They are all showing basically the same thing.
die already devil mutt
I think that’s an older picture from last month or something. So imagine how he looks now, lol
