My read is that he like what he see's in the polling and he see's no reason to rearrange the pieces on the board. Harris has been struggling and backsliding on her own via bad campaign decisions. She blew her momentum on being "pro-buisness" and trying to court Republicans. Any idiot would have known the natural outcome of that strategy, but if you are a Democratic strategist, you aren't just "any idiot".
Over the next couple of days Harris is going to start going from dropping in the polls to dropping in the probabilistic models predictions of victory. Right now, we don't even need to worry about supreme court fuckery, because Harris is on track to lose this organically.
Harris needs to splash some cold water over her face, and go back to what was working. She could easily bite back 2-3% in the polling coming out strongly against genocide. Its been her game to lose since she took the reigns.
Are you suggesting that because people aren't as excited now as they were when Biden first dropped out and endorsed Harris, she's tanking?
If you are, this is a bad argument. Anyone who knows politics knows her momentum was always going to slow, and polls will ebb and flow.
The polls have shown this is a historically close election, it has been since Harris announced and will be until election day.
Her poll numbers went from flatlined to now declining. She's not only not gaining ground, she is now losing ground.
Yeah, I'm not interested in what most lemmings think is a bad or a good argument. Most lemming are fucking idiots when it comes to politics and are just here to cheer on their team. They are allergic to reality when it disagrees with how they wish things were.
Yeah except that they are not. Its not even close to close right now. Harris has a -5 structural disadvantage baked into the EC map. So nationally, she needs to be up by 5 to be even. She's not up by five, she's up by 2-3, which means she's not even overcoming structural bias (MOE not even worth discussing here). Biden was up by +9 on election day. It came down to something like 80k total votes that gave Biden the office?
So no. Kamala isn't winning. She's under performing Biden 2020. By a lot. She needs to do better or she'll lose this thing.

It is difficult to get someone to understand something when their identity depends upon them not understanding it.
Yeah you continually prove that quite well.
The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this bitch...
Funny, I expected someone to say this to you.
What do I give a fuck what someone's whose world view prevents them from a accurately assessing the present thinks?
Again, you keep saying things that should belong in a selfawarewolves community.
That's just your distorted perspective because you live in a confirmation bias bubble.
Can I expect your sincere apology in a week when this point that I'm making is the news cycle?
Still not helping your case, friendly selfawarewolf.
Answer the question: when Harris's declining poll numbers are the news cycle, will you apologize in public?
Edit: and "helping my case"? 😂 Bruh. This political forum gets it so consistently wrong. You are the definition of who the quote I offered I meant to define.
