Polls are a joke. Idk about this specific poll but a measure based on 1000 or 2000 ppl tell me nothing. Give me a poll based a million voters.

[aaammm]

Crap is it to late to replace Trump as the nominee? I think we are done.

[cheappinoy]

crazy how Kamala's favorability rating is about the same as Biden's meaning Democrats aren't really that enthusiastic about her either

[amykelley]

I'm not voting for Harris and don't know anyone who is.

[Deltron]

How do they come up with this bullshit so fast?

[JuniorB.KC]

If she wins NOTHING changes. It gonn get worse.

[kellahobbs]

Crazy people voting for a crazy lady! That’s the way I look at it. That’s the kind of people who relate to her

Kamala Harris's career is marred by numerous troubling actions and statements that paint a deeply concerning picture of her intentions and values. During her time as a prosecutor, she fought against the release of nonviolent offenders, even when evidence suggested they had been reformed, arguing that California would lose an important labor pool for fighting wildfires. This position starkly highlighted her prioritization of cheap labor over human dignity and justice.

Harris's record on criminal justice is further tainted by her staunch opposition to independent investigations of police shootings. Despite widespread calls for accountability and transparency, she consistently sided with law enforcement, undermining efforts to address systemic issues within police departments. Her reluctance to hold officers accountable suggests a disturbing disregard for the lives affected by police violence.

In her tenure as Attorney General, she resisted efforts to mandate body cameras for all police officers, a measure widely seen as crucial for reducing police misconduct and increasing transparency. This resistance to common-sense reforms raises serious questions about her commitment to genuine criminal justice reform.

Harris's approach to education has also been controversial. She has been criticized for her support of charter schools, which some argue divert much-needed funds from public schools, exacerbating inequalities in the education system. Her policies have been viewed as favoring privatization over strengthening public education, which could undermine the future of many students in disadvantaged communities.

Moreover, her stance on healthcare has been inconsistent and opportunistic. Initially a proponent of Medicare for All, she later backtracked and adopted a more ambiguous position, suggesting a lack of genuine commitment to comprehensive healthcare reform. This wavering has left many questioning her reliability and dedication to addressing one of the most pressing issues facing Americans.

Harris's actions and statements also raise concerns about her approach to civil liberties. She has supported legislation that increased surveillance and expanded the use of facial recognition technology, despite significant privacy concerns and potential for abuse. Her stance on these issues indicates a troubling willingness to sacrifice individual freedoms for expanded state control.

In international affairs, Harris has shown a hawkish stance, supporting aggressive military interventions without fully considering the long-term consequences. Her positions on foreign policy have often aligned with more interventionist approaches, raising fears about her judgment in matters of war and peace.

Kamala Harris's career is fraught with actions and policies that suggest a troubling disregard for justice, accountability, and the well-being of ordinary Americans. Her record raises serious concerns about her intentions and priorities, casting doubt on her suitability for leadership.

Senator Josh Hawley Reacts To NEW Whistleblower Allegations: Secret Service Needs To Be Totally Overhauled

Senator: 'New whistleblowers tell me that actually law enforcement
were supposed to be stationed on that roof but the person who was supposed to be there decided to get off the roof because it was too hot!
- He told me law enforcement were supposed to be patrolling the perimeter of the building.
They didn't do that either because again it was too hot and so they went inside!

It means this is a shambles from top to bottom beginning to end!

[SigWalker]

Why would you think harris is gunna lower inflation anymore then biden. And that's the reason she "more favorable"?

[flordelinojrsuela]

TRUMP - CLOSE THE BORDER / KAMALA - OPEN THE BORDER

[Foxentails]

And once independents find out more about Harris, her numbers will bottom out. 😂

[DokPBriMon]

Please don't believe in your lies😂

[andrewburnham]

As an Englishman, I hope the winner is not extreme. I fear the worst. An American I used to work with said, America only care about themselves, and nobody exists outside the states. Is this correct?

[fittara]

That said. GO TRUMP lets Make America Great for All peacefully❤

[TheGeroreillyshow]

As Hilary rightly said of how many votes Trump gets really depends on " How big the basket of deplorabils actually is"

[fittara]

Wish you happiness Kamala lets work together for goodpolicy to unite and help not have fights but diplomaticallyresolve isues.
