IT’S ONLY BECAUSE SHE’S AWFUL: Harris momentum stalls, CNN talk didn’t help.
She polls best when nobody sees her or hears from her or thinks about her.
YEP:
Both Lula and Biden have used the power of the state to censor their political opponents. Biden suggested in a debate that Trump was a conspiracy theorist for talking about Hunter's laptop, which was not Russian disinformation. Lula has succeeded in making himself a dictator.
