Summary

Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.

Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.

Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.

    It’s not unreal at all. I don’t understand why time after time people underestimate what monsters the average American is.

      Well, now that it looks like Trump is actually going to pull it off, we’re all in for a world of fun over the next four years. We might actually discover just how monstrous things will get.

        Its a historic win for accelerationists I guess. Viva la revolution.

        Sometimes I wonder if the centrists are crypto-accelerationists, because they always run to the center for nonexistent votes like clockwork, and predictably always lose.
