She's got my vote when Biden didn't. Everyone who said "nO oNE ElSe iS poLlInG bETter tHaN BiDEN" was ignoring the fact that Biden had the left's entire media hype machine backing him up and still barely eeked out a few points above Trump.

Democrats netted a vote. Look at who that pisses off.

Welcome aboard!

I'm sorry that other people are pissed at you. It's absurd. I'm genuinely happy to see another person joining the team, so thank you for that!

I don't agree with you not voting for Biden beforehand, but that's water under the bridge and irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. It's time to unify under what we have in common instead. I'm glad you're here.

Moderate Dems really want to take all the responsibility off of nominees and put it all on voters.

Because of that, they couldn't acknowledge a campaign would help, but they also have to justify the billions from corporate donors.

There's no logic to them, the far right wings of both parties just say anything in the moment that gets them what they want.

So far she started off by bullying the Republicans and having her campaign be calling them weird. I love it lol, it's been very effective.

If anyone ever gets tired of using the word weird, I've got a couple alternatives:

This is the number to beat: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/23/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-presidential-polls/index.html

For those who don't want to open it, the article showed Clinton having 50% versus Harris' 43%. And it has to be over 50% because of the severe degree of gerrymandering.
