    I actually think that would probably go poorly for Harris. The mistake-tolerance for Harris is tiny because left and left-leaning voters are often hyper-purity idealogues. Trump’s supporters are also working on a purity ideology, but they are extremely mistake-tolerant because their purity test is literally supporting Trump. He’s basically one, long series of mistakes and it barely moves his numbers.

    Harris does not have that luxury by any stretch of the imagination.

      I’d agree with this - for Trump, it’s basically just a personality thing and his policies and what he says are less relevant (everyone knows he’s just a joker that talks crap… so you should ignore what he ACTUALLY says and trust that he will deliver… sth like that) whereas for Harris, people listen to what she doesn’t say and expect that she’s hiding the fact that she’ll install surgeries in schools to do stealthy operations so she can send Harry home as Harriette…

      I do feel more optimistic that the world can be saved from more Trump - but it’s not yet guaranteed.
