    I like Harris just fine and she would have been a far better president than Donnie, but this is how JD Vance becomes President.

    Mmore proof the neo liberal democratic party is a controlled opposition party who bows to the will of the same Wall Street military and prison industry profiteers that guide the policies of the right. Trump is going to be handed another 4 years after they repeal the 22nd amendment. this country is a fascist hellscape

    Who?

    Seriously. I haven’t seen a word from her since she lost. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren, Katie Porter, and of course AOC are posting and speaking publicly every day. Katie’s running for governor of California and I will give her my vote when the time comes.

    The DNC clearly has its head up somewhere dark and damp. Harris’s campaign went flat as soon as they got involved.

    We still have three years to go before the next election, assuming one actually happens.

    At this stage in the game, the only thing that these types of polls are going to reveal is who has the most name recognition.

    In other words, everyone calm down.

      Thank you! Any time this kind of polling shows up on Lemmy, users seem to think this is the Plan of the Democratic Leadership Cabal, rather than an incredibly premature name recognition test.

      People want to vote for people they have favorable impressions of who they also think others will vote for. Without other frontrunners, who emerge over time, it’s not surprising that polled Democrats would recognize and still support the candidate that 75 million people voted for five months ago.

      If you want other candidates (I do), identify them and figure out how to help them build their profile now.

        It’s crazy how fast incredibly premature polling turns into unstoppable freight train that cannot be interrupted by anything but a certified act of God signed and dated with appropriate postage to oh shit oh God what’s happening someone should have planned something.

      Just like the polls that show McDonald’s, Taco Bell, or Chic fil a as America’s favorite restaurant in X state. It doesn’t take too many idiots to outweigh everyone else.
