Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

so when you told a poster their ability to read was impaired that wasn’t a slight? Alright then.

of your own ‘clouded ability to read,’ then, the 2nd thing you bolded in your extract of the article though wasn’t actually said by anyone interviewed for the piece and doesn’t contradict Quin_Dub’s statement, and the first bolded bit is entirely in-line with what Quin_Dub stated. How do you say, “I think you need to read it again.” Too quick to have to be right perhaps, in “shutting down” anything you see as fanaticism for Harris?

Respectfully though, "developing a lead" is nigh-on impossible. It's why the swing states are swing states. Unless something significant happens, all both sides can do is try their best not to lose voters at this stage. Both candidates have set out their stalls, and they're now just focused on pure campaigning and media blitzing. There's nothing really different to be done, nothing which doesn't also carry significant risks of alienating or losing some voters.

I dont think she is perfect but in my opinion she is currently doing enough to win this race. I havent seen really anything she is doing very wrong and again (imo) avoiding catastrophes and pushing forward doing interviews at a rate she is will be enough.

link is broken.

If Trump manages to win in November, prepare for that to become much, much, worse.

"Sorry, but if we let people choose their own gender, then what's next?

Something else that's none of my business and won't harm me in the slightest? I mean, where does it end?"

These aren’t medical treatments as you well know- they’re indulgence of mental illness and/or a scam to garner easier prison treatment. As you know damn well

warned and 1 day forum ban applied

“again (imo) avoiding catastrophes and pushing forward doing interviews at a rate …”

I’m on the same page on that aspect - it’s the polls not moving that’s making me question just how well she’s actually doing in these interviews - is she landing the right message with the right people or has she simply maxed out on who will vote for her at this point?

in your view then has she maxed out her voters? I certainly had the “steady as she goes” approach in mind for her from the beginning and praised her for it - essentially because she wasn’t a seasoned speaker and needed to just take it cautiously - but now I’m just thinking is there something more “brave” she needs to do or say?
moving away a bit more from under the shadow of Biden? Telling people what the positive future will hold?

I just think she’s being too vague and too cautious - these swing states aren’t easy obviously .

You used seem/seems alot.

Care to post any evidence?

So it turns out it wasn't "the storm of the century" which Biden said .

I wouldn't say maxed out as such, but you just have to look at the increase in Dem voters from when Biden was running to now. She's done a huge amount to bring back Dem voters or those who were waivering or just ambivalent because of Biden. Sure, the very fact that she's not 80+ and slowing down with age, it's hard to essentially credit her for that. But she has undoubtedly re-energised a lot of the Dem base and the only reason things are still neck and neck in the swing states is because of the work she's put in.

But what more can she do? She's doing local and national media interviews. She's being pretty strategic with where she's doing those interviews with regards those demographics. And her political messaging is absolutely more focused on a positive future. She also can't step too far out of what Biden did because she was part of that administration, so even if she played no part in Biden's decisions it'd be a terrible move to start trying to distance herself from it. As for being too vague and cautious, she's spoken at length on most of her policies. And this is why yourself and others tend to come into criticism when you make points like that; why are these points being raised only about Kamala when they apply significantly more to Trump. Trump's childcare policy is "We're going to add tariffs to cars from China". His healthcare plan is "We have a concept of a plan". His positive future is "THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS!"

Regardless of Trump, any wild shifts in tone or strategy at this stage, for both candidates, you risk losing voters. Less than a month to the election, you cannot risk rocking the boat with the voters you've already won. This close to the election, it's about capitalising on your opponents mistakes.

That was from their betting odds. RCP polling numbers breakdown for today are below.

A bit dramatic as usual to call it the storm of the century.
