What is the foundation for your impression that Harris' campaign is falling apart?

It's in the name, pure vibes.

What Pedram said, just the vibes I'm getting.

[Pedram]

I mean Kamala had some regression to the mean in polls after the honeymoon period but i don't think she's "basically done" as the right likes to pretend.

She's behind in prediction markets but it's not a insurmountable lead like when Biden was top of the ticket.

I don’t know what polls you are looking at, but the majority have trump behind, not exceeding 47%.

Let’s see what the polls say after the debate next week!

Well Trump is behind but the election is decided by a bunch of swing states. on average, Democrats need to be up by four points in nation-wide polls to comfortably win those crucial states.

The 47% is not poll btw, that's just Kamala's chance of winning according to Polymarket, a website where people can bet on elections.

Im out of the loop for the past couple weeks and have to tell you not giving a shit about politics does wonders for mental well-being

Shame your mental well being got wrecked anyway by that Barca transfer window.

Nico

[Myesyats]

Lmfao we are getting Leao next summer so I'm not sweating

Nico might come too, he wanted to play EL with his brother this season but knows Bilbao is shit and he won't develop as a player there beyond a certain point

And even then, Ansu redemption season is coming. Pretty sure Flick will do wonders with him

[Vibe]

If he revives Fati, he's truly a wonder.

Let's see if he can keep this up for the better part of the season first.

This, again and again and again.

Following politics is akin to following celebrity gossip except with the latter you know it's bad for you. There is nothing special about being in the know of polities and organisations for anyone with political history and its direction will know they are not designed to benefit you.

[FennecFox7]

I do enjoy discussing policy and exchanging ideas. American politics is just political theater at this point though.

[BarcaLearning]

Off topic but I thought Leao has shown hes overrated as? At NT n at club... but I guess its an upgrade to Ferran

[Vibe]

[Myesyats]

He consistently gets around 20+ g/a per season and is a constant threat down the wing

I know Ronaldo and Messi set impossible standards, but this is the best you can hope for these days

[Vibe]

Lacks final product, it always looks nice but ammounts to nothing very often.

This is a very hard problem to solve. The only one I can remember solving this problem to an extent was Vini.

[Myesyats]

That is true. Players rarely develop a better end product, he's a little like Dembele meaning a lot of ruckus that amounts to nothing

[Myesyats]

Sheesh Kamala is actually cooking, probably won the debate from what I'm reading but haven't seen it yet

Kamala, with the coup de grâce: Why don't you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right in Pennsylvania, how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator, who would eat you for lunch? pic.twitter.com/dD0zwZpjDu

Yea that was pretty bad even for his standard.

Dude is getting old, he's clearly not the sharpshooting 2016 Donald anymore and he also relies too much on bullshit Twitter conspiracies these days which makes him sound even more weird.

[Myesyats]

True its easy to forget but he's aged a lot in these past few years

Still, i underestimated Kamala even if Trump keeps talking about eating dogs. Great debate from her

[Myesyats]

Actually got cooked so bad he wants no more debates. Damn

Trump refuses to commit to 2nd debate with Harris -- saying she wants to because she lost https://t.co/3d8JRCxVeH
