        Honest question, how much do you think her performance will be affected by who she is and what she says? Vs just not being Trump and being a Democrat.

        Again I really haven’t paid much attention at all to this election cycle, but in my everyday life it seems that people are far more up front and proud to vote for her than people were for Joe four years ago.

        @Nakoichi@hexbear.net interested in your opinion as well

          enough to lose, it’s not guaranteed but polling has shown she’s squandered almost all of that momentum with her current campaigning and her refusal to court muslim voters could unironically cost her michigan which she cannot afford to do and still win the electoral college

          Based on vibes alone I think she’s got a good shot of winning. Hope she doesn’t, but the Democrats are banking on their base being so racist that they don’t give a shit about the fact that their heroes are mass-murderers. My experience with white liberal Americans during the War on Terror years has me absolutely convinced that the Democrats are betting correctly. Turnout will, if anything, be more helped than hurt by the Democrats going dull Nazi because crackers derive intense sexual satisfaction from looking at the mangled bodies of dead brown people.

              he’s also just less funny. He leaned more to the “my crowd sizes~!” part of his schtick and away from the “Ted Cruz’ Dad killed JFK” part. though “DEYRE EATING DA DOGS” was pretty funny. but the consequences of it were less so.
