According to favorability ratings at 538, Kamala Harris is now above water. In other words, a higher percentage of people have a favorable opinion of her than an unfavorable opinion.

Donald Trump is still significantly under water. In fact, he's had a net unfavorability rating since he left office.

The problem is that some people will support Trump even though they think he's a dick. However, there IS a limit as to how much people will vote for somebody they don't like.

We should keep pushing the envelope to drive up Trump's unlikeability. While you may get pushback when making a negative comment on Trump's policies (such as they are), you're less likely to get into an argument when commenting negatively about him personally. Making such comments funny will enhance their effect.

We need to sow doubt any way we can in undecided and slightly pro-Trump voters one person at a time. Contrary to popular belief, people don't vote in blocs – they vote individually.

This is why it’s not surprising that Harris does comparatively better in favorability ratings than in head-to-head polls — and also why I don’t particularly think there’s any reason to expect that gap to close. Her message is: I’m a likable person, and I’m not Trump, and you’ll just have to trust me to sort out the details. His is: I’m an asshole who fights for you, and here’s a bunch of stuff you’ll get if you vote for me. It’s the Billboard Lawyer message — and there’s a 53 percent chance it will work.

hate when people think the only archetype possible for a male sidekick to a female protagonist is a soft boi and/or himbo. like the implication there is that the only reason a man would ever defer to a woman’s authority is if he was a bumbling idiot. love male supporting characters who are smart and strong and confident and can step up when necessary but still kind and humble enough to let someone else take the lead most of the time

Happy Amok Time Day, friendly reminder that Theodore Sturgeon, the writer of the episode, is credited with the first positive portrayal of homosexuality in science fiction with his short story The World Well Lost (1953), 14 years before Amok Time aired. Which could mean nothing.

DUDE the minecraft movie trailer pisses me the FUCK OFFFF DUDE IT LOOKS SO BAD 😭😭😭😭 this is why minecraft story mode is PEAK everyone should play mcsm 💚💚💚it’s the best Minecraft movie yall will get that isn’t that live action slop with jack black🙏🔥🔥

Anyways I’m reallyyy upset that the mc movie is going to be LIVE ACTION of all things.. the movie being live action just takes away the entire charm of Minecraft it just doesn’t WORK in my opinion and it sucks that we have two really good Minecraft 3d animation styles to work off of 💔💔

I’ve said this so many times but a 3d Minecraft movie would have just worked so much better??? Especially looking at some of the amazing 3d animated movies we’ve gotten in the last couple years

the term fandom is so misleading because with supernatural I‘m not a fan, I‘m an addict, a victim if you will. no matter how hard I try that shit show gripped me tight and pulled me into perdition and my sanity is on a hunting trip and hasn‘t been home in a few days.

cute misunderstanding

[nodynasty4us]

From the July 19, 2023 article:

Tim Scott posts some of the highest favorability ratings in the presidential primary field. He’s well liked by donors and the conservative media, and with Ron DeSantis sputtering, he appears to have an opening.

There’s just one problem: so far the GOP electorate ain’t buying it.

In interviews with a dozen strategists and pollsters, terms like “affable,”and “optimistic” came up repeatedly.

The description that did not come up often was “president.”

...

While a light disposition can go a long way to winning over voters, ... GOP primary voters seem to relish aggression from a prospective nominee, said Jeff Kaufmann, the Iowa Republican Party chair.

“Everybody at some point in time is going to have to, if not throw a punch, throw an elbow,” Kaufmann said. “And they’re going to have to land.”
