Without a moment's doubt, that's true.
Look into it and those two probably have ties to the Huffpost or some other MSM.
My genuine take?
If Kamala wins, it's only because the DS cheated very, very big, and everyone knows it. The Right (and even a good bit of the middle) will not accept this fraud, and no, it won't be like 2020. We're likely to have some sort of significant civil conflict or re-ordering thereafter. No one will respect the Federal Government except the idiots who supported Kamala. Everyone else will look to states to provide separation, and we'll get some of that certainly, starting with Texas and Florida who will set the examples for other states that will follow.
In the meantime, China will make moves that they wouldn't ordinarily because we're all going to be caught up in our own bullshit, and the Federal Government is corrupted by China already as it is. More plainly, much of what we're about to undergo is a long-term corruption and manipulation by China. They live to carry out life-spanning agendas, something that Westerners can't even fathom.
They're fighting against normalcy and sanity everywhere it appears. Their success at it could only last so long.
Well there's that, too. Yup.
You're right, he actually generates analysis on public polls rather than any polls himself. He would be out of a job if no one thought they were valid, and further, he actually did do some polling of his own (via FiveThirtyEight) in the now distant past. It's perfectly reasonable to think and believe that campaigns will publicly release "internal polling" results that are fabrications to develop a public narrative, but this doesn't actually address the question of whether real internal polls are more or less valid than public ones.
Here's the thing -- we ALL know that public polls are almost entirely Left slanted and intentionally erroneous to some degree, not even speaking to their other inherent flaws. Which is to say, they're unreliable just on the face of them. While internal polls could suffer the same problem, hitting on Silver's claim of "principal-agent" and "true believer" bias, there is a much, much stronger incentive for candidates to operate on precise internal polls. After all, there is a tremendous amount of money and power involved, not merely ego stroking, and the people backing these candidates apply even more pressure for them to use good internal data to get the desired outcome -- won elections that solidify regulatory capture, corruption and all the other things being paid for by these external parties.
The long and short of it is that Kamala was part of the same campaign committee as Joe, with respect to the donations that had been made. There was around $250 million from donations at the time. Because they shared the same committee, it was highly likely that there would be no complications in transferring funds to her as the new Presidential candidate.
For anyone else to become the new candidate, however, Biden would have to offer donors the option for refunds (which the Dems absolutely did not want since they knew it would leak away massive amounts of that warchest). The remainder could still end up going to the DNC, but only a fractional portion of that could then be sent back to a new candidate. That would still have been relatively sizable, like 30 or 40 million, but not near the quarter-billion Biden had built up.
This also doesn't touch on PACs which had hundreds of millions generated for Biden, but that may not have been therefore usable for a new non-Harris candidate. I think some of these still faced complications even with Harris.
Regardless, the huge held-breath pause that the Democrats seemed to take as it became clear Biden was being forced out was because of the internal maneuverings regarding the campaign funds and how they could keep their hands on it all.
Of course he's going to say that because he generates public polls that he wants people to put eyeballs on. Silver is a faggot.
I think it's more straightforward than you do. As they were pushing Biden out, they realized that the sizable campaignb warchest would evaporate unless they kept Kamala as the option (and even then they weren't 100% sure).
However, I also think that much of the palace intrigues and infighting we're seeing also relates to how that money is spent and flows out of Kamala's grasp. Joe and Jill, in addition to being pissed about having that warchest taken from them, want to see Joe's legacy as being "the only person to ever beat Trump." Hence the sabotage there. I also think the Clintons have been snubbed in this, with respect to the money, so there may be some sabotage going on there too.
Very interesting.
Wow, he really went hard on this one. Bravo Asmon.
Well, hope for one of them anyhow.
Ok, troll has become obvious now.
Gatekeeping is the way.
This is the diversity the Left so dearly wants for the West.
I hope Ubisoft absolutely crashes and burns right out of existence, and their woke employees become pariahs.

Oh Jesus fucking Christ.
To these Lefties, a Haitian eating a cat is as likely as a Californian. They live in a universe where it's just not something anyone does.
More than Vader, he was Thusla Doom for me.
If this is what he's slow walking over, he really is a giant faggot.
Legit, good endings are hard.
Some don't even seem to be in the gaming industry, or just minimalistically so.
