    Honestly, I suspect that if they had found out that Harris is more popular than Biden or Trump on a national poll

    Maybe you don’t have to suspect and can just read the fucking article. Because you’re wrong and are writing paragraphs of text about how you imagine things happen rather than just taking a minute out of your day to get the information you’re requesting. Don’t demand other people to be your assistant and then get pissy when they call you out for it.

      The important question is how popular Harris is in a national poll, and how that compares to Biden and Trump. (Not whether Democrats think she’s OK. That’s a non-issue. )

      You’re not answering because (a) you got instantly “pissy” about me asking and (b) there’s no answer to my question in the article. There are a lot of half answers and they don’t add up to any whole answer. Again, if they had found out something unequivocal or important about Harris’s popularity nationally, they’d have put it in the headline, but there isn’t anything. You’re telling me off for not reading the article, but it feels like you’re not reading what I’m saying and missing the point entirely.

      I asked the question that the headline didn’t answer and that the article didn’t answer, and instead of admitting that, you’ve gone on this long tirade against me for asking a question on an internet forum, which quite honestly is weird behaviour.

        I’m a different person observing your immature response to being called out for not reading the article. The article very much did answer your question. Your assumptions about what would be the headline answer are wrong.

          Incorrect. There is no clear, unequivocal answer to the question of how Harris compares to Biden or Trump in national popularity or saying states. Your assumptions about the ability of headline writers to pick out the big news in a story are what’s wrong.
