Harris seriously needs to fire her campaign advisors. There are so many easy things she could do to easily win the presidency but for some reason she refuses to do them.

Taking a stand against genocide is just one of them and is so easy to do. She'd gain 10s of millions of Arab voters plus the 10s of millions of progressive voters she's missing out on right now, and it would probably only cost her a few thousand moderate voters. Those voters probably aren't even in swing states so who cares?

I don't know why Harris is running such a stupid campaign or why she just doesn't do the really easy thing that will absolutely guarantee that she easily wins the white house.

It absolutely blows my mind.

"Southern Nevada" and "Los Angles" are very different.

So voting for a random third party and changing absolutely nothing is an infantile concept?

That's nothing, Trump's going to get 99.5% of the vote on 98.3% turn out in 2028.

That's 36%, not 35%. According to the link you shared overall Biden is polling about 40%, 2.2% behind Trump.

That also shows Trump at 36%, so polling at 36% is pretty good for that tiny subset of the poll you shared.

Here's a link to the entire poll that you decided not to share for some reason.

Interestingly enough the headline for the poll you didn't link is "Only Michelle Obama bests Trump as an alternative to Biden in 2024". I wonder why you went out of your way to obfuscate that.

Newsome would have to resign as Governor and I'm not sure he wants to do that for a long shot presidential campaign.

Newsome polls very poorly against Trump and he also isn't very popular in his home state as Governor.

I don't think this is a fascist power grab. Benny Gantz is a centrist and a one of the main opposition leaders to Netanyahu.

This part is pretty well documented and agreed upon by political experts:

He's been loudly advocating for a "day after plan" for the War in Gaza, i.e. what is the actual plan for Israels invasion and what are we going to do when it's done? The day after plan is something Netanyahu has refused to provide. Many speculate that he hasn't provided it because his plan is full occupation of Gaza and making it fully part of the Israeli state.

This part is conjecture and maybe wishful thinking on my part:

Netanyahu refuses to end the war so that he can stay in power. I think that Gantz recognizes the great international harm that the invasion of Gaza has done to Israel, which will only get worse until the invasion is over and Israel withdraws from Gaza. Gantz sees this as an opportunity make himself prime minister, end the invasion, and start some sort of peace process. This would allow him to start rebuilding Israels reputation and finding ways to establish a more stable peace.

It's amazing that Putin has managed to transform Russia from one of the worlds most powerful countries into a vassal state to China in such a short time.

I like to imagine this was thought up by some ambitious product manager who enthusiastically pitched this idea during their first week on the job.

Then they carefully and meticulously implemented their plan over 3 years, always promising the executives it would be a huge pay off. Then the product manager saw the writing on the wall that this project was gonna fail. Then they bailed while they could and got a better position at a different company.

The new product manager overseeing this project didn't care about it at all. New PM said fuck it and shipped the exploit before it was ready so the team could focus their work on a new project that would make new PM look good.

The new project will be ready in just 6-12 months, and it is totally going to disrupt the industry!
