We love how they preface this piece with the word 'analysis' in ALL CAPS, as if this is some breaking news update.
America is not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic, one that elects the president via the Electoral College. The Electoral College is a brilliant system designed to make sure every state gets an equal say in who is elected president.
It also means it's possible for a candidate to win the national popular vote (which is meaningless), and still lose the presidency.
And that's a good thing.
So here's the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), acting like this is shocking, unacceptable news:
It has been a dream start to Kamala Harris's bid for the White House.
The party's convention was a raging success, crowds are packing into her campaign rallies and the Democratic presidential nominee is now pulling ahead of Donald Trump in several national opinion polls.
With two months until the election, her supporters are daring to dream big.
"She's certainly going to win the popular vote by millions of votes," two-time presidential candidate Bernie Sanders declared this week on ABC America.
But he was less confident about the bigger picture, only going as far as saying he felt Harris has a "very good chance" of winning the election.
'A dream start'? Really?
The DNC was a 'raging success'? Ha!
And we thought American media fawning over Kamala was bad.
Good gravy.
This makes their piece even more ridiculous.
Also -- they want an America governed by the insanity of New York and California.
We'll pass on that.
You'd think so-called journalists -- in Australia and elsewhere -- would do some basic research.
Absolute knobs.
Because they really, really want it to matter.
And they hate that they can't rule via mob.
We've lost all semblance of reading comprehension.
They'll be shocked, we're sure.
They could.
They won't.
But they could.
Probably wise.
