And each one was so very publicly celebrated. Ugh. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Snapz@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) What does "doing better" mean to you in this day and age in that context? Polls are no longer a viable tool. They are captured, manipulated and heavily biased. They ask misleading questions and ask them of non-representative populations. Very big difference between "doing better" in "the race" and casting your vote on election day. Again, gramma in Pennsylvania didn't think Kamala was doing better, or really she didn't care what she was doing, because there was just one "key issue" that gramma would never get onboard with for Kamala... Gramma didn't talk about that issue during "the race", but she was thinking about it when she pulled the lever. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago Polls, obviously. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kreskin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) She was doing better than the old white guy she replaced though Was she really though?

Lost a lot of energy. Got Time Waltz, more energy, and then the party told him "stop calling Vance weird" and we lost more energy. She had a better shot at talking trump, she just loved to shoot herself in the foot. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago According to the polls she was.
