The point is your analysis puts the cart so far in front of the horse as to be useless. Maybe, just maybe, actions and events between now and June 2028 will have an effect on polling.

Two months ago, I told y’all I saw a video of someone saying that if someone’s ears are positioned below their eyes, they’re insane and you should stay away.

Now anytime I see a mugshot, I look at the position of the eyes and ears. Hell, I do it when I think I find someone attractive now! 😩

This older Uber driver said I came in his car looking like a snack and his delivery was so funny I could not be mad at him. In fact, I tipped him an extra buck for making my day.

Ad hominem attack won't deny the fact Harris and Pete Buttigieg both still plan to run, they're popular with the base, and regardless how more qualified they're than whoever GOP nominates, likely to still lose the general. And if Harris runs DNC will tip the scale for her like they did for Hillary.

I’m not answering your question because it’s stupid.

1. You didn't answer the question.
2. I like JB Pritzker because not only he's a successful governor, but he has actual business experience. But we're not talking about the general. We're talking about the primary.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

OVER!!!

Don Jenver @donjenver.bsky.social · 10h

if you're willing to sacrifice some groups for your personal safety, i'm going to assume you'll sacrifice anyone. Either we all get humanity and rights or none of us will. Because nobody is voting for another centrist Dem trying to move the party right. that shit is over.

have you tried turning off your consultantpilled pollbrain for a minute to actually take a look around at what’s happening in this country, or are you just content to live in natesliverland for your whole life, stepping on rakes and tripping over your own dick
