Thank goodness. But don't bet on her even winning the popular vote. She's
tied or trailing Trump in many polls, and these polls are always skewed by
the pollsters against Republicans. (They had both Clinton and Biden well
ahead of Trump at this time in the two previous elections.)

The only way Harris can win is if they steal the election again.

And modern "democracy" worked "great" in France. Macron got decimated in the
vote, but he rigged it so he could stay in power. That's called "democracy."
Just like Harris, never winning a single delegate but somehow winning the
Democrat nomination is "democracy." Kind of myopic, don't you think?
