    r/politics thread

    Libs put a stake through the heart of the post...

    But they couldn't entirely stop the conversations...

    The top comment is pretty much what you'd expect - the redditor went so far as to include a link. Maybe he was panning for gold. And he couldn't even resist comparing her to Trump. Trump lives rent free in their heads 24/7...

    Punchline/comment

    She has similar unfavorability ratings to President Biden. Her unfavorability numbers are 10 points lower than Trump. (That is, Trump is less popular than Harris.)

    This is pure clickbait journalism, amplified to create a consensus she's unpopular.

    No one cares much about any VP.

     

    But as you scroll down - you get criticisms of Kamala.

        How r/politics redditors use "they/their" is always so amusing to me. In their fan fic - "they" are the villains trying to destroy the lib hero. "They" ends up being anybody the libs don't like.

        • Republicans.

        • Independents. Probably secret republicans. Why do they sound like Russian bots?

        • Anybody one millimeter to the left of Biden could be a Russian bot.

        • People farther than one millimeter - probably a Russian bot.

        • Us. What time is it in Moscow, Vlad?

        The libs simply can't imagine that anybody would dislike a pol because of their terrible politics.

        They’re trying so hard to give her the Hillary treatment because they know she’s their biggest threat.

        Literally was in 5th place in her own damn state behind Andrew Yang

        I'm dunking on the libs not Kamala.

        I don't take polls very seriously. Numbers go up, they stay the same, or they go down. What I think is perverse and funny about American politics is how seriously so many people take such stats. Both people in politics and regular people too. What does this stat mean? Right now Kamala being underwater doesn't mean much. 2024 is a horse race that's literally years away.

          Yeah seems like the real news is "there's no reason to think the public perception of Harris has taken on any new character since the polls just mirror Biden's, so may as well default to the precedent set by her primary performance."

            If Biden dies from a massive stroke in the next five minutes - I wonder how Kamala's administration would be. I assume it would be total dog shit. But I also assume the palace intrigue - the gossiping, the back stabbing, the lying, the misdirection, the jeremiads - would be solid gold. The US would go right into the toilet but at least it would be really funny and the stories would be amazing.
