Idk. I posted this piece from Medhi where he interviews Micheal Moore, which if you want to get a read on MI, thats your guy.
https://lemmy.world/post/21487386
The consensus I got from those two is that MI is lost for Harris since she didn't/ isn't going to pivot. I know we're seeing other data on women voters, but like, I don't see a path to the WH without Michigan for Harris. I just can't imagine how she could lose MI, but keep WI and PA, AND THEN ALSO pick up NC or GA or some other sunbelt state.
Its just very very difficult for me to imaging losing MI but picking up somewhere else. MI should be in the bag, incontestable.
Thanks for the read. I'll take a look at it when I get the chance.
Yeah it should have been but the Democrats, and Harris, royally fucked this up with all that they've done and supported the past 13 months of this conflict. Trump going to Dearborn just goes to show how close it is to turning red.
The fuck are we gonna do at this point. The only possible saving grace is a literal tsunami of women voters. Harris really needed to be sweeping/ taking at least 5-7 of the swing states, to keep this thing out of the hands of the supreme court. That seems like an impossibility at this point.
I know a lot of people have been saying the polling shouldn't be trusted, but they always underestimate Trump and he's basically taking every swing state even still. Harris only has like .8% in one or two which in reality is like +3 Trump.
We're so fucked it's stupid.
Harris was on track to end up at around +4, +5, +6 if she would have been able to follow through on the momentum she gathered going into the convention. She took all that good will and threw it in the trash to spur Muslism voters and anti-war voters, then went on to put Liz-FUCKING-Cheney on stage.
I can tell you the exact moment Harris started to lose this election and it was right here:

It was the moment Jeff Duncan, a pro-abortion Republican, got the stage instead of a Palestinian.
Yeah but have you considered that the military industrial complex and Isreal are more important than people's lives and even our own country?!

/wrist :(
I mean, apparently going along with the donor class is more important than winning the election.
