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.
Heaven forbid people vote for what they want and not vote how some poll says to vote... Fucking dumbass cuck.
Yeah I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. Polls are a response to voter sentiment. Maybe you can break down what you meant for me?
You claim 'Lemmings" prefer to vote for who they want. That not only anthropomorphises Lemmy in to something wrong (generalities are seldom accurate), but your attitude suggest that peoplewho do not vote for the most popular in the polls are dumb for voting how they want when it doesn't match the poles. You are actually stupid if you fail to understand how pathetic your response was.
Did I claim that? I don't think I claimed that. If you could show me or quote me making that claim, I would appreciate it.
I mean Lemmy is a collective of people. I don't think its wrong to anthropomorphize groups of people (because they are, well.. people), and you might be arguing (not quite sure here) that I shouldn't' be giving human attributes of behavior to groups of humans, because fundamentally they have different behavioral models. That's an interesting argument, and more than happy to have that if thats what you are saying here. But to be clear, I'm not arguing that a herd of cows has a collective opinion on genocide. And "generalities are seldom accurate", I'm not sure how even to address that. The entire modern world is basically predicted on the assumption that although there is variation or noise in most systems, when you aggregate them, they collapse to the mean. So I'm not sure what to do with your statement "generalities are seldom accurate". That seems dismissive of a couple hundred years of the scientific method to evaluating evidence.
Again, I don't think I said that. If you could quote me directly, I think that would go a long ways in this discussion.
Ok. Thanks. Have a nice rest of your day.
