I checked the above chain, and don't see landslide aside from the comment you.and I are discussing. Perhaps it's elsewhere but not in the chain I'm referring to.

Votes from people like you could make this happen.

It's literally the last thing they said.

Re read my point.

They do not claim in that statement that a landslide is coming.

They are suggesting that if progressives voted Democrat, that a landslide COULD be more possible.

And I'm suggesting that Harris is not running the kind of campaign that can get progressives to vote for her.

I'm also suggesting that "people like me" probably aren't very common in the US. For one, I believe we should be giving critical support to Hamas and Hezbollah and Ansar Allah in their protracted people's struggle against the Zionist settler-colonial entity.
