It’s political news. People downvote based on not liking the headline but it’s reporting directly from a Harris campaign official…
But also potentially troubling for Democrats: What Harris’ campaign had thought was one of its best insurance possibilities may also be in peril. Just a few weeks ago, several Harris advisers in interviews pointed to the combination of electoral votes from North Carolina and Nevada as a strong alternative path for Harris should Trump win Pennsylvania and claim its 19 electoral votes.

Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

Lemmy doesn’t really have good anti-brigading mod tools yet (or, at least, I’m unaware of them)… you can see this in places like c/conservative where absolutely every post and comment is downvoted to oblivion by people who think they’re helping change people’s minds… I’m personally not a fan of conservatives but brigading is just fucking dumb and annoying.

“If I downvote the bad news that means it isn’t happening right?” is one of the most frustrating and sadly common lemmy archetypes.
Isn’t that a violation of rule 4?
That’s just wishful thinking. Attempting to make voting anything other than I don’t like the thing is futile.
