Kamala Harris' time is up

[SpookyFrank]

Who the hell is advising the Harris campaign? I thought these people were meant to be expert with special knowledge about swing voters interests?

It will all be extremely targeted stuff. And that's part of the problem, it doesn't leave a lot of room for a candidate to present themselves as a real human with a coherent worldview. You'll also have different PAC's with different agendas on the same 'side', like that one posting ads about how many psychologists who have never met Trump have diagnosed him with an incurable personality disorder. They're almost certainly right, but it's still unethical.

This election has also seen the most cynical targeting of the half-dozen states that actually matter. Hard to argue with the logic of that but if I was in any of the other states I'd be absolutely sick of it. And neither candidate has said a word about electoral college reform.

Harris's response to those who want her to do something/anything about the US's role in the slaughter isn't convincing

don't know if anyone's posted this today from The Guardian

Perhaps more interesting is this survey that the Guardian’s Robert Tait wrote up yesterday showing that Arab Americans are now narrowly leaning towards Donald Trump, after strongly backing Joe Biden in 2020. That shift is likely a consequence of Biden’s support for Israel’s invasion of Gaza following the 7 October attack, and could imperil Kamala Harris’s chances of winning the White House. Here’s more:

Arab Americans are slightly more likely to vote for Donald Trump than Kamala Harris, according to a new poll, in a worrying sign for the Democratic nominee’s chances of carrying the battleground state of Michigan, which is home to a large Arab American population.

The survey, conducted by the Arab News Research and Studies Unit along with YouGov, shows 43% supporting Trump compared with 41% for Harris, and 4% backing the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein.

The figures are broadly in line with a previous poll carried out this month by the Arab American Institute. Together they suggest that Harris’s support in the community has been undermined by the Biden administration’s backing for Israel’s year-long war against Hamas in Gaza.

The latest poll also shows Trump leading Harris by 39% to 33% on the question of which candidate would be most likely resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while the candidates were tied at 38% apiece on who would be “better for the Middle East in general”.

Support for Trump is particularly striking given that the same poll shows twice as many respondents – 46% to 23% – think anti-Arab racism and hate crimes are likely to increase under a Trump presidency compared with under Harris.

Musk’s PAC is micro-targeting Arab voters with claims that Harris supports Israel’s war machine. They’re also sending messages to Jewish people claiming she’s a Hamas supporter. They’re clearly getting a lot of reach with this.

Jill Stein is Putin-adjacent and has a specific job to do in getting Trump elected. Shilling for a petro state to get a ‘drill, baby, drill’ president into power seems more than a bit off-message for green politics.
