Sadly, this is spot on. No one wants to hear this, but there is only one thing that could even remotely possibly lead to a landslide for Harris. That is GWB & Mitt Romney endorsing Harris & campaigning every day from now until November for her, all across the country. And even then, probably not.

This is the core of "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party." Either we need different political institutions, or we need 15-20% of Republicans to decide they value democracy more than winning. Democrats can't conjure magical 🦄 solutions.

2012 Obama showing is possible for Harris. Maybe 20% chance. That’s about the ceiling but it ain’t bad.
