Join me in White Dudes for Harris Tonight
A newly organized campaign called "White Dudes for Harris" is holding a mass video call this evening, saying that "it's time for white men to get 100 percent engaged and make sure Kamala Harris is elected as our next President."
It already claims to have 75,000 participants registered for the call at 8 p.m. EST tonight, with transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg and actor Mark Hamill scheduled to speak.
Organizer Mark Greene, an author who writes about masculinity, said in the event description that the group aims to support Kamala Harris's presidential bid, countering the Republican Party which he says represents a culture that "has positioned white men at the top of a bullying and rigid dominance-based culture of masculinity."
The group says it was inspired by the leadership of Black women in political movements, with Greene asserting that white men must also step up to advocate for change, and to help stop Donald Trump and J.D. Vance's policy platform, particularly in relation to women's rights on abortion, birth control, and IVF, which he describes as the policies of "Christian Nationalists."
Let’s make it 100,000!

I fear this is all going to backfire in the long run.
The woman heading the White Women movement is truly unbearable.

So you’d be against white people marching for civil rights in the 1960s? R4

This spontaneous outpouring of support can't possibly bode well! Are you from the NYT Editorial Board, R4?

Awesome. If nothing else happens, this recent outpouring of support from all corners of the diverse Democratic universe will at least help mobilize voters for the Senate, congressional and local races. It's given a real shot in the arm to the party as a whole.

I’m looking at the white women posts on X. I posted a sample from the organizer. I hope the white men call sounds different.

How can the Democrats hope to win if they keep up these outreach efforts to groups they need to win? Is it any wonder that Trump will be our next president?

He's really good r35. I admit like some others I'm worried that he looks old, which is an unfair but real issue this year, but honestly, I suspect that's an exaggerated fear. Once people start hearing him, they seem to love him.

Rachel Maddow just had a disturbing report: Republican officials in several swing states have appointed at least 70 election officials who have vowed to not certify election results in their districts if Trump has lost them.
And Trump himself has been telling conservative audiences that he doesn’t “need” their votes, suggesting he thinks he will get in some other way. Is this why Republicans haven’t cared about Project 2025 leaking? Is there already some kind of coup happening?
And if so, what do we do about it?

I have to say - I know she’ll have an uphill climb but the campaign is off to an impressive start. I don’t recall this kind of energy and visibility in a campaign in a long time. I don’t know if it’s getting through where needed but it’s pretty exciting.

That was one helluva show tonight. Anyone who missed it ought to catch it on its 11pm central re-showing.
[quote]And if so, what do we do about it?
Nothing, really. Not at our level. Rachel's guest Elizabeth Warren emphasized that we need to turn out the Democratic vote in such numbers which will help overwhelm what they're trying to do. They hope to stop the election in its tracks by refusing to certify the results. Several states will be unable to reach a conclusion, and this will land the whole question in the laps of... (wait for it)...
The Supreme Court, which is where Trump expects to find his route back to power.
Biden has just three short months to take up the new-found powers the SC has given him, and arrest that plot in its tracks. He's probably the only direct remedy to the coup that Trump has planned.
