This is the most absurd thing I've ever read. Both of them have a poor track record on the constitution. A weird fantasy people have cooked up in their head without evidence shouldn't be the best of lemmy. It can be a fear. It can be a fear people talk about. But the best content of anything? I hope not.

Do you want to know why Kamala is doing poorly in the election odds. It's not that she's a worse candidate. People vote for or against social movements. Plenty of reason to vote against the MAGA social movement. But middle america is voting against the delusionment they see on the left and that they see on internet formums. This kind of disconnect from reality scares them, and they vote against your candidate.

Believing a candidate when they tell you who they are is the opposite of delusion.

Election odds? You mean the betting markets where 4 users dumped 30 million dollars on Trump coincidentally when Elon Musk started campaigning for him Pennsylvania? The odds that had her leading by 5 points that those 30 mil shifted to losing by 15?

Or are you talking about the polling, which has been an absolute shiteshow for 10 years because no one picks up their phones for random numbers anymore?
