A Marist College poll taken during the first week of August showed that only 4% of Republicans planned to vote for Harris, as opposed to the 8% of Republicans who said they would’ve voted for Biden in a poll taken the first week of July.

Who would have thought repubs are less comfortable voting for a Black woman than a white man. Could it be that they’re racist and they hate women?

I noticed that to. At first I was WTF and then I was "oh of course".

On X alone, the Republicans for Harris group already has more than 100,000 followers, and organizers said more than 70,000 people watched the rally.

Those aren't insignificant numbers. If those who were there can convince their circles as well, that could expand drastically.

70k viewers is impressive for a live stream, to be honest.

Musk/Trump had 1 billion according to Fox who quoted Musk (I'm sorry) https://www.foxnews.com/politics/musk-boasts-1-billion-views-no-limits-x-interview-trump

US population is 336 million. So, clearly views on X don't correlate to anything in real world politics.
2 clowns that made a career out of being a spectacle, did a stream on a platform owned by a clown with figures given by a circus quoted from a clown.

70k is respectable.
Maybe with more coverage (like the trump/musk stream had) it would be more
