Part III, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz

Link to Part II

r3 I wonder how lippy Vance is gonna be three weeks hence when she smokes his ass. Not very much, would be my guess.

Baier admits she did damage to Trump.

[quote]“I think she had a mission that she wanted to do,” Baier said after the interview. “Maybe she wanted to have a viral moment or pushback. She came to Fox News and she wanted to have a go-after-Donald-Trump viral moment that plays on a lot of other channels and on social media. She may have gotten that.”

[quote]Harris received rave reviews from across the political world.

Except for our one MAGA troll who is still convinced she bombed.

Guys- Watch this Katie Couric video and get ready for what is going to happen- This Neil guy is the real deal-

The less electorals she has, the more likely this is happening-

I see why these psychics are saying that Kamala wins but it will be a torture chamber for a few months-

Interesting....and scary.

Can’t watch but if Kamala made a difference I’m grateful.

Fox News Interview With Kamala Harris Drew 7.1 Million Viewers, According To Early Nielsen Data:

R5 “I think she had a mission she wanted to do,” Baier said

And Fox News didn't? Mr. Baier, how do you explain the deceptive footage you showed of Trump from earlier that day?

I feel like if she loses, Tim Walz will be blamed, because it will probably come down to Pennsylvania and people will say she should have picked Shapiro, and I also feel that that is a bit unfair on Tim Walz, because if she loses it will be because she, like Hillary, didn't turn out enough of her base.

Actual billionaire will go campaigning for Harris.

Mark Cuban is in Wisconsin at a rally. And the audience is laughing their asses off at Trump. 🤣🤣🤣

Also btw R12 if billionaires want to campaign for you it's probably a signal that you're doing something wrong.

Is anyone watching Bill Clinton in NC opening for Tim Walz?

She’s going everywhere and recruiting everyone.

This is seriously an all out effort to win.

The thugs aren’t doing anything. Dump is canceling all of his appearances, Jimmy is MIA and nobody but white supremacist groups, tech bros and talibangelicals are supporting him.

This must bec posted everywhere.....

Lucky for those twats, Obamacare covers severe BURNS!

Ha! That was awesome! I love her. I sign waved for her today at an intersection and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of truckers, old white dudes, rednecks and young people who responded to our Honk for Harris signs. Saddened by the old angry white women who screamed "make America great again, Go Trump and laughably Trump 2020!" All the mean men were fat as fuck and the nasty bitches looked like they aged out of being hot shit in the early 90s. It was a great experience such a fun, friendly and beautifully mixed crowd. I'm going again next week

My best friend, our moms, and my dad are doing something similar this weekend R19.

Thank you R19 and R20 - I am phone banking! The energy around the campaign is electric.

Harris/Walz 2024?

I meant Harris/Walz 2024!

No question. We cannot have a fascist and his tech incel fascist VP in the WH.

We must win.

Sure, Bret, whatever you say:

r25, that is why Sure, Jan was invented.

[quote]Trump has canceled: 60 Minutes, CNBC, 2nd Debate w Kamala, NBC interview. Hasn't confirmed CNN Town Hall.

Maybe there's something seriously wrong with him. I mean, aside from the many things that are psychologically wrong with him.

Don't forget the NRA Rally appearance that he canceled. I think it's as simple as him having a tantrum over Harris' Fox ratings be more than twice of his. Ratings is one of the 4 things he cares about. Ratings, money, praise and rapey sex

I have yet to see a Harris ad that details the lies and obstructions from Trump. I mean...there should be round-the-clock, bullet-pointed ads showing all of the fucked-up things he's done during and after. The one thing Republicans excel at is running a good smear campaign.

Who's running her shit? They've FAILED.

Thanks for your concern, Boris at r29.

Nahh,I'm Natasha

Nah, just a garden variety cunt who appointed themselves as an expert in political science, but who's counting?

I guess this is why Leon is offering people $100 each to vote for Trump in PA and WI? (Which is illegal -- someone wake Merrick Garland).

"Bonier: This one surprised even me. I didn’t expect to see this in the data, and part of the reason is we’ve been hearing for almost four years now that Republicans were going to fix their mistakes from last time. They were actually going to push their people to vote early...

Our expectation has been that we should see Republicans accounting for a much larger share of the early vote than we saw four years ago. We can get back to that, but the second element was this case we’ve been hearing—that low-propensity voters, as they call them, voters who generally don’t turn out at higher rates, are actually much more likely to be Trump supporters, especially younger men, especially younger white men.

You’ve seen they’re really spending a lot of time, effort, and energy appealing to these voters. You can argue about whether that’s smart or not, but in the end, if what they’re doing is effective, you should be seeing that show up in the early voting data at this point.

Again, in Pennsylvania and Michigan, these key states, several hundred thousand votes have already been cast, so it’s not a small data set at this point. I was shocked when we looked at the early vote data—especially in Michigan and Pennsylvania—and we looked at these younger voters. We actually saw that the gender gap is actually wider now, with women accounting for an even larger share of the early vote than they were at this point in 2020.

In the end, I probably shouldn’t be surprised, right? We’ve all been talking about this for two years now since Dobbs. The group that has been most energized and activated in this post-Dobbs environment is young women. What it’s telling us is these Republican efforts are failing, and perhaps they’re paying the price for not building a true on-the-ground campaign."

Editorial cartoon of the interview

For Concerned European. Also, remember Trump has n3xt to no ground game in PA.

Pennsylvania appears to be the state where her outreach to Republican voters is working best.

A New York Times/Siena College/Philadelphia Inquirer poll found Harris winning 12 percent of Republicans in the state

GO, PA!!!

R35, thanks for that: but is this a double-edged sword in that her outreach to Republicans could be depressing turnout among Democrats?

how so?

R37 is a Bernie Bro. Nothing she does will be good enough.

Oh, get over yourself R39. I'm asking honestly because I don't know what's happening on the ground and from here it looks like a dead heat.

r6's link is very sobering. Trump has started to say if he loses, it's rigged. He's not going down quietly.

I can't breathe!

Anyone who’s been paying attention for the last TEN FUCKING YEARS knows that, r41.

He was sayin this election was “rigged” the minute he started running in 2020 after getting cunt punted out of the WH.

He said 2020 was “rigged” THAT entire election season, too.

He’s priming the qult for violence on his behalf AGAIN when he loses AGAIN.

The thugs have been ginning up their fucking cult for YEARS, putting election deniers in place, amassing weapons, holding forums on how to disrupt vote counting (where do you think traitor Flynn has been all this time? That self righteous prick didn’t just slither off under a rock), flooding the media with fake polls to “prove” the election was “stolen” from a goddamned TRAITOR, and other nefarious activities all meant to end democracy.

They were NEVER going to go quietly. We ALL know this. It’s why a bunch of usually “non political” people have been eating the drum about what a threat he is - Generals, business leaders, other country’s leaders, people in his OWN fucking party.

So gird your loins, my man. This is going to be a fight. We probably won’t know the results for weeks while these cunts try to tie everything up in court and throw out votes. Unless, of course, we bury that treasonous sonofabitch in a fucking landslide.

But I will be riding out that storm right here, with you bitches, because there’s no place I’d rather be.

r43, yes I know he's been saying it, but yesterday, he re-iterated it again, same old broken record.

The old hag Andrea Mitchell right now distraught because Kamala didn't attend the Al Smith dinner. I have to stop hate watching this show, I want to punch the tv.

R41, that was obvious since last year. He’ll contest even if she wins every electoral vote

Atlanta DLers, there's still a little time to register for the rally tomorrow

R42, here is the eye of the pig vs Trump. The pig's eye has more warmth and wisdom in it. It also doesn't look strung the fuck out.

Asheville, North Carolina. Haven't stood in a line like this to vote since Obama 2008.

Asheville, North Carolina. Haven't stood in a line like this to vote since Obama 2008.

r48 blech

R49/50 have me mystified... who are these people all lined up? Are they for her? For it? Those lines would make me feel a lot better if I felt she had the momentum, and yet somehow I can't see MAGA turning out like this.

Fuck, what a roller coaster.

CE shares much in common with Trump supporters: an inordinate amount of presumptuous knowledge based on jack shit.

CE??

"Concerned European." Look up, r54.

R52, Asheville is a heavily Democratic town. And they are turning out in droves to vote despite the devastating floods that they endured just weeks before.

One of my favourite blocks, R53. I know we're supposed to keep an open mind, but nothing ever comes from hers except reflexive contrarianism.

r55 Many of us had the good sense to block CE / r52 a long time ago

Actually, R58, R52 was me. Who just posted R57.

Funny old world, one minute you're right, one minute you're wrong.

LOL....

Hearing Asheville is heavily Democratic helps me a bit because every damn one of the people in the line in R49 (that I can get a read on) is OLD. I was hoping to see a lot of under-50 women.

R61 Asheville has become a popular new retirement spot in recent years.

Listen, I had to go to poll worker training at the BOE today while early voting was going on in the same building.

The white women trumptards will all YOUNG. Like in their 30s. It was the fucking OLD PEOPLE - white women, black women and white men, that were holding Harris/Walz signs and passing out Democratic sample ballots.

Granted, it was the middle of a work day afternoon, but why aren’t these young white women WORKING instead of simping for a felonious pussy grabber?

Don’t assume than an older white Womens is voting for that prick. Many of them were alive PRE Roe and remember what it was like for women.

Cry harder, bitches.

R53 R57 R58

I love you, CE. It takes balls to be a named poster around here!

Love you too R65. It's cool, keeps me sharp!

[quote]Granted, it was the middle of a work day afternoon, but why aren’t these young white women WORKING instead of simping for a felonious pussy grabber?

They went to college to find a rich husband and got their MRS. degree. Now, they sit at home, go to luncheons, go to the beauty parlor, and occasionally take the kids from the nanny long enough to be seen in society with them. Do you think that the majority of young Republican white women actually have jobs? No, they are living off their husband's job.

Re: R67

I've been in a couple of relationships where I was as miserable the majority of the time as Donnie and Mel look in pictures. I know MAGA faithful love to spin their marriage as a fairytale but, believe me, what you see is what you get with them.

IOW: if they always look miserable when they're together, at least one of them hates the other one, but it's probably very mutual.

What an odd thing for her to appear at.

[quote]r63 = and passing out Democratic sample ballots

What are Democratic sample ballots?

She needs a powerful speech to close it. Not a word about Trump. Talking over him, beyond him. Something forward looking, optimistic, encouraging. In Philadelphia, obviously.

Newsweek::

"Emerson College polling, conducted between October 14 and 16, shows that among undecided voters who chose who they would vote for in the past week or month, 60 percent opted for the Democratic vice president, while 36 percent opted for Republican former President Donald Trump.

Among undecided voters who chose who they would vote for in the past week, 65 percent chose Harris, while 27 percent opted for Trump."

What doomed Hillary Clinton was the way late-breaking undecideds broke heavily for Trump. With both candidates weighted down with heavy negatives, the majority of undecideds opted to take a chance on Trump.

I can't see anything Harris has said or done recently that would cause voters who were open to her to change their minds?

R72, Democratic sample ballots are a flyer listing the Democratic candidate running in each race, down to the local races for county commissioners, county recorder, auditor and the like.

They have other names, but that’s what people call them around here.

So they aren't "ballots", r76.

Right on the ball, aren't you, r77?

No, r77. I said “that’s what they’re called AROUND HERE”.

Idk what they’re called elsewhere.

I wonder where the Trump-worshippers will go, or who they will turn to, after 8 years of Kamala Harris. Trump will be either dead or in the very least bedridden by then, so it can’t be him.

Wow. Lots of young people in line to vote at R81, unlike Asheville.

That's a rally, r82.

We have sample ballots here as well.

It lists all the candidates, Dem and Rep who are on the ballot. It’s a preview so you don’t go in blind and you can see what and who is on the ballot. They are sometimes even specific to your district.

We can print out the sheets and take them with us when we go vote. Obviously with your choices highlighted or circled.

I had no idea Kamala will be 60 tomorrow!

In California sample ballots are mailed to all registered voters, as well as a 140 page Official Voter Information Guide. It covers all 36 propositions (including official text, potential fiscal effects arguments for and against, as well as a list of endorsing or opposing individuals or groups) and candidate statements for those running for statewide office.

I was shocked when I moved to Indiana where such things didn't exist. At least Illinois sent some information, but the booklet was scanty IIRC.

R86, neither did I until I heard it on the news this morning.

[quote]What doomed Hillary Clinton was the way late-breaking undecideds broke heavily for Trump. With both candidates weighted down with heavy negatives, the majority of undecideds opted to take a chance on Trump.

Hillary was a known quantity, and undecided people opted to take a chance on the “unknown” candidate.

In this election, it’s the opposite. Trump has been President, and people want something else. Even though Harris has been VP, many undecideds admitted they didn’t know much about her.

[quote]I wonder where the Trump-worshippers will go, or who they will turn to, after 8 years of Kamala Harris. Trump will be either dead or in the very least bedridden by then, so it can’t be him.

It won’t be JD “personality vacuum” Vance.

[quote]It won’t be JD “personality vacuum” Vance.

They might think differently after he steps in for Trump and continues the strategy of owning the libs.

Will the Harris campaign ever challenge Vance to a debate? It seems logical to me despite all of the protocols and niceties. I think it would decimate the his campaign. And, knowing him, he'd probably lash out at Vance in some way.

Might it be a good time for Kamala's campaign to suggest who or what entity, in actuality, is really running for the office of POTUS?

r91, the bitch can't even figure out how to use his fucking phone!!!

They haven’t r75.

R79, they are the Ticket and the down ballot and may include recommends for initiatives and questions. If they are issued by non party political groups they are RECCOMENDS.

Atlanta is off the hook. It's like a street party as we wait for traffic to thin. She was on fire!

Go, Georgia!

Stay blue, baby!

"Yo. Christine Baranski is going door to door in Pennsylvania for Harris Walz.

She’s of Polish descent. Do y’all remember at the debate when Harris said Putin would go after Poland next and some Polish leaders in PA endorsed her?! Right.

This campaign’s ground game is… WOW."

"Hellooo! 🌞 We’re launching a 1000+ person bilingual canvass this AM in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

.@TeamAOC helped fill busses with hundreds of canvassers to support the local Harris operation, including 100s of Spanish speakers.

We don’t play about our army. Let’s GO! Pa’lante."

R101, I’d vote for baranski!

lol.

Christine Baranski and Billie Ellish both come out full-throated in the same day. That's a fifty year age span.

Does anyone know if there any Kamala biopics in the works? I can play Ella.

NICE!

What's Tim up to this week?

Christine Baranski, Billie Ellis and Lizzo

"To a person, election observers, elected leaders and some of Trump’s own allies agree on one operating premise: On election night, no matter what the results show, how many votes remain uncounted and how many advisers tell him otherwise, Donald Trump will declare himself the winner.

And from there, he could embark on a risky but plausible challenge to overturn the legitimate election results and install himself in the White House. Here’s how it could happen."

Of course, he’ll only have a few weeks either way so before he is sentenced.

Don’t be so touchy Jake, it’s locker room talk.

Politico clickbait at R112. Of course Dump will say the election was rigged. He did this in 2016 (even though he won) and 2020.

Love this!

Enough with the Twitter posts, troll. Jesus Christ.

r117, as sung by clyde and Gracie Lawrence

They’re great, R119. I miss many of these and I’m glad we can see how much ridicule and mockery that orange asshole is receiving, from all sides.

Keep going Twitter dude.

i agree - i;d never go to twitter otherwise

I only visit certain Twitter accounts and when I post, I make sure to replace the "x" with "twitter," and copy text in case the replacement doesn't work or for folks who don't use preview.

Will air on NBC Nightly News, the TODAY show, and across NBC properties."

I fucking ❤️ Julia Louis-Dreyfus!!!!

I'm still not seeing anything about Kamala speaking with Andrea Mitchell

She doesn’t fuck

Go tend to your geriatric Ayn Rand loving husband, Andrea at R128!

But, R126, you just knows that the "undecideds" will still say, " I don't know where she stands on the issues."

[quote] Jerome Bettis, "Mean" Joe Greene and the family of the late Franco Harris all publicly supported Democrat Kamala Harris on Sunday.

[quote] "I know this city and I love this city – we work hard to make things happen. No hot air. No bull. This is what defines the Steel City – and it’s the opposite of what Donald Trump stands for," Bettis said in a statement. "Donald Trump has made promise after promise to the city of Pittsburgh, and time after time, he’s failed to deliver…

This is great!

good for him for using this tactic

That's awesome, R133! And yes, I'm gonna add that I think Tim is sexy af.

daddy!

That’ll get 3 more votes

Oh, FFS

So in an effort to highlight his claim that Kamala Harris never worked at McDonald’s, Trump pretended to work at a closed McDonald’s where he served pretend orders to supporters pretending to be customers. Hopefully the fries weren’t cold.

Got it ! 👍🏼

Surprised he showed up for his shift, r139.

[quote] I fucking ❤️ Julia Louis-Dreyfus!!!!

Hi Julia!

I can't wait for Twitter to be liberated from the vestiges of apartheid.

His fans love the Potemkin McDonald's stunt. They cook down and shoot copium right into their eyeballs tho. They tell themselves Trump was anointed by God so saying he looked anything but depressed and awkward, playing restaurant like a toddler is nothing to them

I saw a picture of Donnie right after he took his suit coat off but before the McDonald's girl tied his apron onto him and he has scrawny, sloped Peepaw shoulders, huge saggy knockers and a fat gut.

So that he would post that wish-casting football pic at R138 (with the bulge we all know he does *not* possess) is sad and hilarious. And with his continuing delusional behavior and narcissistic collapse, you really don't know if he realizes he really doesn't look like the picture at R138. He's such a freak.

I love the belted look on his smock. Very slimming.

Rivera calls out Trump's psychopathy, how his policies and plans will harm Americans, and how he is unfat to be POTUS.

"Do the right thing for yourself and your country

She is a warrior and a peacemaker, and I am proud heartily to endorse Kamala Harris for President, but it may not be without complications. When my initial endorsement went viral, a photographer taking my picture for a magazine article about the endorsement asked if I was “worried about retaliation?” By whom? By Donald J. Trump, the once and possibly future president who vows political retribution, and the possible use of military force against the “ enemies within.” When confronted by television’s Dr. Phil about his many menacing statements threatening retaliation, Trump dug in. “Revenge does take time. And sometimes revenge can be justified Phil, I have to be honest, sometimes it can.” It is like the bad old days of Richard Nixon, when commentators opposed to his Administration were placed on the infamous Enemies List. Those listed were often subjected to abnormal attention from the IRS. Tax audits were Nixon’s favorite form of retaliation. Trump who feels he was the victim of unfair scrutiny and a weaponized deep state is more ominous. He makes it sound as if he’s going to get the Godfather’s Luca Brasi or the Proud Boys to perpetrate physical muggings.  In addition to his lack of civility, racial stereotyping and sowing division, there are many crucial reasons to choose Harris over Trump. If you have a daughter, and I have three, it cannot be a close question. Only one candidate for president will honor her right to reproductive freedom, and that is Vice President Kamala Harris. In contrast, her opponent, former President Donald Trump is the principal architect of the legal regime that stripped American women of what, for half a century, they believed was a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, the right to choose for herself to have an abortion or use birth control.  By stacking the Supreme Court, President Trump insured that the long arm of government will be in many of your daughter’s bedrooms forever more. True, some states have enshrined reproductive freedom in state constitutional amendments, but many women and even their doctors and care givers remain in jeopardy.  So does Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act, which has helped millions receive necessary care and treatment. It remains under assault by Republicans unable to present a reasonable alternative. Blame Donald Trump who tried unsuccessfully to abolish the ACA, and will try again. Even the Child Tax Credit is in continuing peril by conservative think tanks bent on achieving a nation in which compassion is a commodity that has to pay its own way.  There’s another political issue. Remember back in the 2000 presidential campaign when then VP Al Gore pretended that he didn’t know Bill Clinton? It was a mistake that overlooked impeached Clinton’s otherwise pretty successful presidency, and it cost Gore the election. Similarly, If I could advise the Harris campaign in these last two weeks before the nation votes again, it would be to embrace President Joe Biden.  Aside from the melancholy way in which the old timer was involuntarily cast aside, remember, he’s also had a pretty good presidency. “Bidenomics” largely succeeded in wrestling down inflation. Unemployment and violent crime are also down, China is being confronted, so is Russia, especially in Ukraine, NATO is on sounder footing, and Israel is winning this phase of the unending Holy War.  The border is the biggest mess, but the undocumented aren’t “poisoning the blood of the country.” And those who are attempting to exploit the relatively few incidents in which undocumented immigrants commit heinous crimes, they are, in the words of a father of a young woman killed by one, are “heartless” and “despicable.” It is another reason I am voting for her. Donald Trump has thrived on conflict and confrontation. Kamala Harris, as president would seek to heal our divisions and celebrate our unity and patriotism."

R144....

I can’t even watch that chump

" If Trump wins, Elon and his companies will essentially become unregulated and he will have an amount of power and American business man has never seen before.

"'Elon Musk has thrown his fortune and power behind Donald Trump. In return, Trump has vowed to essentially give the world’s richest man and a major government contractor the power to regulate the regulators who hold sway over his companies.'”

Stephens: "I really would rather have just sat out Election Day. But Jan. 6 and election denialism are unforgivable. And as my friend Richard North Patterson likes to say, “Donald Trump is literally bleeping crazy.” And what crazy brings in its wake is JD Vance, whom I find worse than Trump, because he’s just as cynical but twice as bright. And what it also brings in its wake is Tucker Carlson and the Hitler defenders he likes to platform."

More Cuban:

"Mark Cuban on CNBC: I sat in front of restaurant owners and asked them 'what would it be like if you got a knock on your door and there was someone from Stephen Miller's squad asking you for the immigration status of everyone who works for you?' That's not how you run a country."

Vote Blue to keep Trump from killing Social Security.

"Reporter: A brand new analysis finds that Social Security would run out in six years if Trump's agenda is enacted"

The GOP wants social security busted so they can enrich themselves and the financial services industry with retirement cash moving to securities (401k-type arrangements).

Trump bankrupted casinos and his social media stock is on life support. But let's turn over our Social Security money for him to manage.

Frankly, I am not too worried abut SS and Medicare. The first attempt to make any real change (other than increase the payroll tax for stability) would e met with such resistance that he’d fold like a house of cards. I will rely on that —and it’s OK.

The real damage will come elsewhere.

He could just put Elon in charge of Social Security. I rule nothing out with them.

R163. Lots of things may happen, but the events triggering your post won’t happen. It’s bad enough as is—don’t be hysterical about everything…

For all their efforts to manipulate their conservative voters, the truth is --as usual-- very different.

"Watch: Donald Trump's administration wrote the DOJ Transgender Care Manual in 2018 for prison inmates to receive gender affirming surgery and care. Every Trump accusation is a confession."

"Liz Cheney: "If the issue is foreign policy, I would just ask everyone -- think about how dangerous and damaging it is to have someone who's totally erratic, completely unstable, someone who has aligned himself, who idolizes tyrants ... our adversaries know they can play Trump""

R166, you sound quite naive

I didn't know the bitch was Libra!

R169 is the Everything will be fine if Trump Wins Troll.

R172 you type obvious. Reality check.

R174 is the hysterical queen in need of a a dose of practical reality.

I wonder if Geraldo or a paid writer composed the statement at r146. It's pretty eloquent and not something I would have expected from him.

I guess conservatives are fine with this as long as they get to control the ladies bodies. They give zero shits about the actual babies and their horrific suffering. Perhaps an opportunity to shed a few crocodile tears and talk about how the babies' pain is all "God's Plan".

You know, I'd be fine if they stuck to being in a voluntary religious cult. They have that right, who cares? That they insist everyone else must join them, is unacceptable.

"Infants died at higher rates after abortion bans in the US, research shows"

"If you just watched Michael Keaton in the commercial for Sunday Night Football, here he is campaigning for Harris in Pittsburgh."

Jonathan Last: “I believe that for all her political ambition, Kamala Harris is carrying this burden for us. She’s not Barack Obama, basking in the warmth of a cultural moment en route to becoming a cultural icon. She’s more like Frodo Baggins, walking toward Mordor while carrying a millstone around her neck, in an attempt to save all of Middle Earth from a dark fate.”

Goddamn I love Michael Keaton. His time on Mr Roger's Neighborhood obviously rubbed off on him

Fucking hilarious, R146! There should be a line of t-shirts and yard signs with that slogan for placement near Trump/Vance signs.

^ It's clear the man was targeting because he's gay.

Well, of course.

Russian Propaganda Unit Appears to Be Behind Spread of False Tim Walz Sexual Abuse Claims

What the fuck?!? Should've known when Tucker Carlson started saying Tim reminded him of the creeps at boarding school his dad abandoned him at (and he had to fuck the headmaster's daughter to pass) that these Russian spoogeniks would hamhandedly and falsely accuse one of the last decent men in politics of being a sex pest like the rest of their messiahs

tucker kalrson needs to fucking immigrate to Russia already

Fuck you, Russia.

Plenty of rich American douchebags have been selling out to Russia for years. NHL team owners have done shady things to get hockey players out of Russia in order to play on their teams.

I was almost more crushed for my Ancestry test to come back big positive for Russian than I was to learn that the asshole I handed a condom only pretended to put it on

Uncle Joe/Dark Brandon comes out swinging.

"Trump just spoke literally a chip shot from my daughter’s flooded-out house in Swannanoa, NC, and lied some more about FEMA. I’ll repeat: It took FEMA less than 10 days to take her application, assess damage, and deposit their maximum grant into her bank account. FEMA was great!"

"When he says your kids are being forced to get sex change operations in school...or that migrants are eating your pets...or that FEMA is your enemy...or a thousand other absurd claims he wants you to believe...

Step back for a minute.

Forget what he's saying to you.

Focus on what he's saying ABOUT you.

He's saying you're gullible.

That you lack critical thinking skills.

That you're an idiot.

That you'll dance to his tune when he feeds your prejudice. When he preys on your fears.

That he can manipulate you. For your money. For your vote.

He isn't a president.

He is a predator.

Predators do not belong in the White House."

"NEWS: A source with the Harris campaign confirmed with The Courier Journal that Gov. Tim Walz is visiting Louisville on Wednesday to campaign in Kentucky ahead of Election Day on Nov. 5."

And yet, the legacy Media is pissed we turn away.

"It's insane that the main policy proposal of one major-party candidate is "Carry out the largest domestic purge in history by a factor of twenty, and no, I won't be telling you exactly what groups will be removed" and the media is like "Cool! What's your plan for health care?""

Entire comment mentioned at R208:

"It's insane that the main policy proposal of one major-party candidate is "Carry out the largest domestic purge in history by a factor of twenty, and no, I won't be telling you exactly what groups will be removed" and the media is like "Cool! What's your plan for health care?"

If Trump follows through on his plan to remove 20 million people (again, he won't say who, because there aren't even 20 million undocumented immigrants in this country) that means one in every 15 Americans will be disappeared. Every workplace, every classroom, every street

We are talking about armed men coming and grabbing one in fifteen people - young people, old people, workers, mothers, kids, neighbors, customers. It's pure unadulterated insanity, it would destroy the social fabric, crush the economy, and morally stain the country for all time.

And nobody can explain how it's supposed to work, mechanically. You'd have to set up a massive internal security apparatus akin to a totalitarian state. There's nowhere to remove people to, so if you attempt this at scale they're going to end up in concentration camps.

And what happens when you've got a huge class of people living in camps, that the government regards as undesirable outsiders, who the leader regards as genetically inferior? All the questions that start to emerge evoke history's greatest nightmares.

None of this is an exaggeration. This is the stated, explicit plan of Donald Trump. Why isn't there any alarm over, or even any interest in, what he's planning? Don't we deserve to know?"

R208, legacy media tipped their hand in 2016 but it is so clear now that they are roten to the core

That's a feature, not a bug.

"Three non-partisan economists, Warwick McKibbin, Megan Hogan & Marcus Noland evaluated Trump's economic proposals & claimed Trump's proposals to end independence of the Fed, deport 8.3M workers & his tariffs would shrink GDP by $8T, raise prices 25% & trigger a Depression."

get out and VOTE

From the Harris campaign event with Liz Cheney yesterday:

Liz Cheney responds to Lindsey Graham criticizing Republicans for Harris:

“Don’t listen to Lindsey Graham, number one. It's a good life advice”🤣

According to Karen Tumulty from the Washington Post, Kamala is going to be in Houston on Friday.

This should be interesting. Didn't his daughter just announce a pregnancy?

The STEALERS.....hahahaha......that Freud was a great doctor, wasn't he?

Cheney was sometimes quite funny yesterday but she's got resting Debbie Downer face so I can't quite tell if she's totally fucking miserable taking her lonely principled stand or it's just wuh-wuh face. Anyway, you've got to respect her even if her politics is unthinkable.

as the two ballot printers stopped at the same time for two different reasons this morning when i stood in front of them...much to do about the outcomes.

[quote] This should be interesting. Didn't his daughter just announce a pregnancy?

She did. I wonder if the daughter still lives in Michigan. Reproductive rights are protected there due to Prop 3 passing in 2022 and Gretchen Whitmer has been a champion of reproductive rights for many years now. This video is rom 2013 when she was a state senator and she opposed to what was known as a "rape insurance rider law"

oh...tx...red

After the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Eminem posted a tweet to his Twitter expressing his displeasure for the decision saying "As a father it pisses me off that women have fewer rights 2day than just a few days ago… we r fuckin goin bckwards. Here's how 2 help in Michigan. [sic]" and included a link to a pro-choice organization in Michigan.[405]

Why are people still trying out for Trump's VP? Don't they know Vance is locked in? These folks need to get back to beating their wives and kids and scaring all of their neighbors.

"A Philadelphia man is facing federal charges for allegedly threatening to skin alive a state party representative who was recruiting poll watchers.

According to court docs, 62-year old John Pollard asked to observe the polls. When the rep did not immediately respond, Pollard allegedly wrote: "I will KILL YOU IF YOU DON’T ANSWER ME!"

Re: R224: that's a great father. Never thought I'd say that about him.

Quit trying to get “legacy media” to happen. The alternative is TikTok.

In the last thread I posted that Harris/Walz had a big concert coming up. I guessed Stevie Wonder cut I was wrong.

Eminem I. Detroit tonight

Springsteen in Atlanta Thursday

Christ almighty that's vivid. At the Atlanta rally everyone was so happy and helpful. Even standing in line for an hour to get in

^^^ (Sorry for the typos)

I did wonder where Eminem was. I always thought he was a great father and figured he'd be on Team Harris for sure. Nice to see him speaking out.

This Deadline article includes the following little tidbit:

[quote]The Harris campaign already is promoting a contest to win two tickets to see a surprise performer at a get-out-the-vote concert, with the silohetted figure of a female singer. Taylor Swift has endorsed Harris’ campaign, and Beyonce has lent the use of her song, Freedom.

Why is Springsteen in Atlanta instead of Philly?

"In a third: "GONNA FUCKING FIND YOU AND SKIN YOU ALIVE AND USE YOUR SKIN FOR FUCKING TOILET PAPER."

He forgot IT RUBS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN!!!

I do love how Harris is slowly making all of MAGAs faves problematic. Between Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Eminem, Dave Bautista...

It must be for them what the early days of #MeToo were like for people who didn't hate women.

[quote] I did wonder where Eminem was. I always thought he was a great father and figured he'd be on Team Harris for sure. Nice to see him speaking out.

Eminem is probably the type of dad who respects his daughter's autonomy when it comes to reproductive issues and other gender issues. When I was a teenage girl in the late 90s/ 2000s, I became friends with a girl who came from a very conservative family. Both parents were very strict and controlling. My friend had an older brother and younger sister. She was always upfront that the brother was treated better than the girls in the family. Her parents always spoke to her and her sister in very condescending tones and acted like both girls were morons. Both parents were heavily involved in anti-choice organizations and would attend March for Life type rallies in our state. My friend spent a lot of time at my family's home and admitted to me that she wished her parents were like my parents. She told me how she noticed how my dad wasn't condescending with me/talked down to me. At my friend's house, at meals the mom would make/serve plates for her husband and son and the two girls had to serve themselves. My friend noticed at my house that once the food was set on the table everyone served themselves and got their own glasses of water and beverages. When we each finished our meals, we rinsed off our plates and put them in the dishwasher and at my friend's house she had to always clean up after her dad and brother.

When I was in college, I worked at a call center for a health insurance company. Part of my job involved doing outbound calls to customers to go over coverage/billing for procedures or medications. There were a bunch of times in which young women in the age of 18-22 had their parents on speakerphone and the parents were consedencing with their daughters and would tell me what to say me. The parents on those calls reminded me of my friend's parents. They acted like their daughters couldn't speak/think for themselves at all. There were a few times young men in the same age range had parents butting into CS calls I was conducting, but overall it was more common with young women and their parents. Whenever my employer would have meetings or trainings, the topic of early 20 somethings with nosy parents always came up from different CS agents. The other thing we encountered were moron parents who didn't understand that HIPAA applied to their kids who already over the age of 18 and didn't have HIPAA authorizations on file.

In more recent years, I have noticed that it seems more dads of girls and women are more respectful towards them. Of course, there are still the controlling asshole dads like my middle school/high school friend's dad. I really like the whole "Girl Dads for Harris" movements that been going on in social media and there are men putting up "Girl Dads for Harris" signs up on their lawns. The videos of Tim and Hope Walz are nice to watch because you see a dad who really respect his daughter and is protective, but not condescending or controlling. My dad died last year. He was a moderate Democrat and military veteran. He hated Trump and when Roe vs Wade was overturned in 2022 he couldn't stand how many men were applauding it. He said "It's not my fucking place to tell women what to do with their bodies or whether they should have children or not".

Right now, with the election two weeks away, I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for a possible Trump win, but I want to be in a place where I can sort of shake if off. If Harris wins I will likely cry tears of happiness and sadness. The sadness would come from knowing that my dad and other proud girl dads who have passed on aren't here to see a woman elected president and they aren't here to see people stand up to assholes like Trump, Vance, and others who want to control women. If Trump wins, I could myself feeling a lot of rage, but like I said right now I'm just trying to get myself prepared to deal with a Trump win, but not feel like total shit like I did in 2016.

Blast Tim Walz's words all over the Universe.

President Obama in Madison, WI this afternoon

Dipshit is such an underused and good Midwestern word. Perfect for Elon Musk

Why are they wasting time talking to Jon Stewart. They should be on Rogan. They would get the most exposure. Even Howard Stern no longer has an audience.

[quote] I do love how Harris is slowly making all of MAGAs faves problematic. Between Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Eminem, Dave Bautista...

Honey, only Swift is a MAGA fav. None of the other ones are.

Harris/Walz are such a strong ticket.

I was just watching some of Don Lemon's one on one videos with voters in Florida. The number of woefully uninformed, ignorant and outright sexist pieces of shit in America is SO depressing. All were white men and all would have been brownshirts in 1933.

R247, republicans neglect a good education for America’s children for a reason. Keep them stupid, keep them impressionable, keep them voting Republican.

100% R248. Vance and Musk want to do away with universities and the Dept of Education for that very reason. Keep them ignorant and without options.

Everyone goes as Trump for halloween

Meryl made me laugh.

The NBC interview with VP Harris looks great.

Two weeks! I will be phonebanking to help the campaign. Please volunteer if you can.

[quote] The owner of the Los Angeles Times has blocked the paper from endorsing a candidate for president this year.

[quote] Last week, the LA Times published its electoral endorsements for the 2024 election. And while the paper noted in its first line that it is “no exaggeration to say this may be the most consequential election in a generation,” that was the only mention of the presidential race in its endorsements.

[quote] The paper’s editorial board, which has endorsed Democratic candidates in every presidential race since it first endorsed then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008, was preparing to do so once again this election.

[quote] But according to two people familiar with the situation, executive editor Terry Tang told editorial board staff earlier this month that the paper would not be endorsing a candidate in the presidential election this cycle, a decision that came from the paper’s owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a doctor who made his fortune in the healthcare industry.

Well at least the owner of the la times will eventually go broke.

I HATE EMINEM.

R263 Can we deport that cunt back to South Africa.

Bill Gates gave Harris $50 million

All one of these people would have to do is publicly mime the craziest thing he says in a special child voice.

CNN just announced that Kamala will be speaking from her residence at 1pm EDT today.

Harris campaigning in Texas could put Allred over the top. It's bad news for Cruz that he's the incumbent yet can't reach 50%.

[quote]CNN just announced that Kamala will be speaking from her residence at 1pm EDT today.

I don't see that anywhere. Not on their web, not on socials. Are you sure?

And the RNC has spent hardly anything in Texas. I know it's fucking Texas and they'll probably re-elect Rafael Cruz, but anything is possible in this election cycle.

Colin Allred winning would be delicious for all of the Reich wing pundit heads exploding, though!

What will also be delicious will be all the right wind pundits turning on him. Everybody loathes Ted Cruz. The minute he's out, everybody will be ripping him a new one. Which makes the Republicans twice as awful, but that's normal.

Yes, R271

R274, 75: thx. Wonder what's coming.

Yessss! This is a very Trumpy thing to do. That's it. Win the news all day today, tomorrow with Obama and Bruce, Friday in Texas, Saturday with Michelle. Pay him at his own game.

does seem odd, but indeed, her campaign staff is smart enough to take a page out of turmp's playbook

Her CNN Town Hall with Anderson Cooper is tonight.

Make him stroke out, Kamala. Make him stroke out!

Nate Silver is now saying that his gut tells him Trump Will win.

She can’t campaign from her residence.

Nate Silver damn well knows that many Americans are racists and misogynists. Nothing new on his part.

Maybe she knows she’s fucked and is trying to show that she did all that she could. Her internal polling cannot be good.

She went home for a shower and change of clothes, R283. Unlike Trump, she wears clean underwear. Actually underwear.

Hi, I'm KAH-ma-lah, Harris. And for all you dumbasses who do not know, I graduated from Howard U, an HBCU, even if you don't think I'm Black, my college was, and I went to the University of California's Hastings College of the Law. I then went to work for the district attorney of Alameda County then the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and later the office of the city attorney of San Francisco. I was elected Attorney General of California in 2010, and reelected in 2014. If you do not think I have experience you can lick my multicultural pussy. A pussy that Trump will never grab. In 2017, I was elected to the US Senate from California. I was appointed to the Judiciary Committee, where I made Brett Kavanaugh cry like the little bitch he is. If Black men think I don't have the political cojones to be president, they haven't been paying attention. I will cut Putin's ball off. So, NOW you know me.

12 days to go. I've half a mind to just tune everything out until election night. Perhaps even transform my life in some small but meaningful way. Does anyone else ever get that urge while reading about this constant election madness?

She looks and sounds so presidential.

r289, I voted early. I will wait till election night to tune into the results.

With so much early voting, where are the EXIT POLLS?

R292, exit polling is for Election Day for people who show up to the ballot box. Early voting is different.

I learned in this thread that one of these men is about to become a grandfather

[quote]Nate Silver damn well knows that many Americans are racists and misogynists. Nothing new on his part.

No, Nate Silver now works for Peter Theil, the billionaire foreigner who bought Vance the Senatorial office, so he is hardly non-partisan.

Re R295, Eminem’s daughter recently announced that she and her husband are expecting a boy.

Tim and Gwen have voted.

You aren't fooling anybody, r285.

I love Tim and Gwen - so adorable and wholesome.

I just voted!!! My state - Virginia - will doubtless go to Harris/Walz without my additional vote, but I REALLY needed to take part in this election.

I have maybe three posters on DL blocked. But, to no surprise, troll at R285 is one of those.

I have hundreds blocked, and yeah, she's blocked too

Stuart Stevens, ex Bush media consultant, calls Trump's campaign a 'festival of imaginary demons.' Beautiful, I'm stealing it.

R332 I remember that article years ago and it didn't surprise me. I have who immigrated from Germany in the 70s as a young woman. Every other year her siblings and other relatives would come to visit her. and then she would visits in the other years to visit them in Germany. When Trump took office, they didn't want to come here and she said she didn't blame them. She went to Germany for visits from 2017-2019. She didn't travel in 2020-2021 due to COVID and her relatives did visit in late 2022. In late 2017, I was considering a trip to England for 2018 and I remember travel forums had tons of posts from Europeans who said they were avoiding traveling to the US while Trump was in office.

I had a second job in a hotel from 2014-2018. When Trump won we lost most of the European tourists and had to run a 3 nights for 2 package to get to fill the rooms in summer. We also started working with an Australian travel agent. My friend stayed there this summer and the Europeans were back! Brits, Spanish, Irish, Dutch. Great to see it but they will be gone again if he wins. This time they may not come back for a long, long time and who could blame them.

I’ve watched the “skipping dip shit” clip about 20 times today. Walz is amazing. He is dynamite on the campaign stage. Such way with words. He’s not trying to be clever or witty. He just says what we’re all thinking.

Walz really represents the best of the American spirit. Hardworking, humble, empathetic and deeply patriotic. I love that clip too R337:)

r330, what the fuck!

Kamala will give her closing remarks in the same spot where Trump incited the Jan 6 riots. He falsely claims to have had a bigger crowd than MLK.

I love how she’s trolling him. Her crowd will be so much bigger than his!

Undoubtably

Kamala has the same secret service agent at every appearance. An eagle eyed lesbian who would have seen that teenager on the roof in Butler. I don’t know how much input the VP has on her security team but I approve this choice.

For non-Philadelphians, 4th street deli is famous, mainly for its old-timey vibe, ENORMOUS portions and darn high quality.

None of his cult will care if he groped or even raped the girl but maybe they are going to put the tape out to try and force the Trump/Musk/Vance campaign to admit that Donnie assaulted the girl because he has dementia and mistook her for someone willing, like Loomer.

He could rape 2 teenage girls on stage and that crowd of red hats would cheer and applaud. He could shoot one of his own supporters and convince the others that the guy thought he lost the election and therefore deserved it.

Nate Silver doing his part for the oligarchs who fund him. Gotta get him to say he thinks Trump will win so they can sell the Big Lie 2.0.

Sorry Thiel/JD/Silver fanboy. Use your head.

This is killing me, it's like a very very long night of watching election returns.

I know it's not in my best interest to keep checking articles and looking for ways to predict the outcome, but my brain just won't let go.

This is so hard. The consequences are monumental, and if I'm honest about it I'm terrified.

Maybe I should wake up my partner and bang it out.

You know how challenging it is to be totally unfuckable as a gay man? He accomplishes this near-impossible feat. In an age where geeks are cool, he manages to be a throwback to the greasy, gross geek of yore.

No amount of money will change the fact he’s unlikable, creepy and unfuckable. It’s baked into his cake.

Thank you, R372 and R374.

I would not have him or his husband wash my toilet, they are so beneath my contempt. From his Wiki page:

[quote] After the 2020 Presidential election, White helped raise funds for the payment of fees incurred by President Trump's legal team in challenging the election results.

Bill white was a lucky flunky. They flipped this house and ran off to Atlanta.

Anderson persisted with some odd choices last night. He seemed determined to wrest out of her a concession they should have done something differently and earlier with regard to the border. He wouldn't give up. It was evident he was just determined to get "we should have done something earlier" (so CNN could have the Harris admits or Harris concedes headline, I assume) but it didn't really feel like the right question to dig in on.

That said, she wasn't at her best last night, but it made no difference to the outcome. She certainly had moments of excellence but overall, thirteen days out, she was still not landing answers to some key issues (like the fucking economy.) However, she did no harm at all and as I said, had moments. Still, it left me kinda flat.

TL;DR: I think presidential journalism has to change. What we've got now is of no value. I thought this mostly about the debates but I also thought it last night about Anderson's questions: they're just aiming for the gotcha. They are. Some of the questions in the CBS debate was so ridiculously hypothetical and complicated... it means nothing to the actual audience. It's all about the TV journalists. We should hold a real debate: Healthcare in this country needs to be expanded to ensure no American lacks coverage or NATO is a fundamental element in the United States' nationals security or I would have a member of the opposite party in my Cabinet. Find out what they really think about the substance of governing (or, in the present sense, that one of them can't think at all.)

[quote] Hopefully Hope is registered in Montana where she was working and she can vote for Tester as well as her father

Hope was on the campaign trail for awhile with her dad. I don't think she has seen lately. Probably went back to Montana for a bit to take care of things and vote.

One other thing: WTF is it with Anderson and his grief obsession. I know what it is, it's his latest tangent. Which is fine... off road. But he pounced last night on a question about Harris' grief after the death of her mother and I'm like what does that have to do with the price of eggs? Jesus, buddy... if it's that bad, up your therapy but stop taking the rest of us with you. I have no patience for that guy's self-indulgence but I guess the bosses can't say anything because he'll cry or something.

[quote] As Harris Courts Republicans, the Left Grows Wary and Alienated

NYT ^^

If she wins, the headline will be 'Why Liz Cheney has ruined the next 4 years' or 'The Left will ruin Kamala's administration, she should resign right now'

As a leftist, I want her to win. I don't care what she says or who she campaigns with because she is running against a cult figure. These are not normal times but 12 days out the NYT is still looking for a gotcha.

Harris hasn’t “courted” Republicans, they came to her because they understand the existential threat of Dump. I swear, the NYT has become such a garbage paper, it boggles the mind. I truly think they decided to run a story with this theme, then found some straggler lefties to fit the narrative. .in fact I don’t see anyone from “the Left” say anything about being alienated.

This cockroach is back.

As if he wrote that. He can barely speak.

If Nate’s gut is right I expect a bunch of apologies to be posted here.

Pretending she was the White House?

It's ridiculous. The tiniest minority in the country being used to scare the shit out of people. I have never met a trans person. I worked with someone who used they/them pronouns - once. A butch lesbian who was totally harmless. The idea of a decades long culture war over 0.01% of the population doesn't bear thinking about.

ridiculous

r398, a lot of trans people in L,A.

[quote]It's ridiculous. The tiniest minority in the country being used to scare the shit out of people.

The Democrats made this a legitimate issue by embracing all things trans and making it a huge part of the Party’s narrative, when in reality few people care about it, and most find it disturbing.

They are not targeting people in LA with those ads. That's the problem. They are targeting people in the rust belt who are never around a lot of trans people and couldn't find one to get outraged about. Same with their border ads. People in Iowa and North Dakota reported being more worried about the border than people in Arizona!

R401, that’s a load of horseshit. The Repukes are the ones who pushed the Dems into addressing it by running ad after ad claiming men are invading the women’s bathrooms. They stoked fear because that’s what they do. If it wasn’t trans, it’s would be some other issue that stokes fear but has no bearing on the wellbeing of people.

[quote]As if he wrote that. He can barely speak.

You beat me to it, R394. The brain-dead content sounds like something he'd say, but it does seem like someone else typed it. He's too incoherent to have done it on his own.

And when the fuck did she compare Trump to Hitler? All she did was quote the comments from John Kelly. I'm glad Herschel Walker didn't win a Senate seat because the last thing it needs is another right-wing idiot.

[quote] Miguel Gomez, 21, leans toward Donald Trump. His parents very much don’t. Their home reflects the fierce divides among Latino voters in Arizona.

How did the NYT dig up this kid? How many energized women did they walk past to interview this kid who will probably fire up his Playstation on election day and never actually vote. How much time are they wasting ordering these people to type just to drum up fear and make Harris look weaker. They could easily find a group of Republican women in AZ voting for Harris.

R400, but not enough to be considered a factor in Harrisburg, PA in this election

[quote]It's ridiculous. The tiniest minority in the country being used to scare the shit out of people. I have never met a trans person. I worked with someone who used they/them pronouns - once. A butch lesbian who was totally harmless. The idea of a decades long culture war over 0.01% of the population doesn't bear thinking about.

Republicans have no low and will gladly throw any minority groups under the bus in their quest for power. Since Trump hasn't presented any plans other than retribution and tariffs, they're falling back on their tried and true method of culture wars. I wonder if they really think that being anti-trans will seal the deal for them.

Remember, this is the same party that went after gays in the 2004 election with all the same-sex marriage ballot measures meant to turn out their base to vote against it. That worked then, but in 2024, it reeks of last minute desperation. They see women turning out in high numbers to vote for reproductive rights and know most states that have it on the ballot will approve the measures. They've seen how much success the Democrats have had on the issue and need a deflection from their Hitler-admiring cult leader.

In my opinion, any person who votes for Trump regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, and religious background is pretty much crapping on all the law enforcement officers who were injured, harmed, and have PTSD issues related to J6 and also the family of Brian Sicknick. J6 is unforgivable and it fucking irritates me that people are still supporting that shitbag. There are plenty of things I dislike about Liz Cheney, but she wised up due to J6.

This. *Every word*:

"I can't speak about ground game at this point but, in in broader terms, Kamala Harris is running a strategically masterful campaign, one that I believe is of historical importance. The coalition is diverse, both politically & socially, yet it is also incredibly *cohesive.*

Lyz Cheney & other Republicans who are campaigning for Kamala have not asked for policy changes or rhetorical shifts. Abortion rights & LGBTQ rights have not been sacrificed, nor have POC been thrown under the bus. This is to the credit of many, including both Harris & Cheney.

Democratic voters--when we're able to move past depression & panic--are also staying strong. We're calling out propaganda like never before. Yes, the online "left" is attacking us, as is Jill Stein, but they are no longer attacking us from *within*, as they did in 2016.

Rather, due to numerous factors, the online left (not AOC, et al), has been functionally cut-off, for the time-being. They are causing problems, but not problems *w/in* the coalition, as they did, again, in '16, as well as in '20. The coalition is more unified than it's ever been

The media is focussed on bringing Harris down to Trump's level, so as to create a false equivalency. "How does she distinguish herself from Biden?" "Why no interviews?" Etc. Meanwhile, Harris is running a cohesive *Democratic* campaign, w/ Republicans on her side.

Part of the brilliance of the campaign is that Harris, as a Black-Indian American Woman, has been able to center herself as *Who She Is As A Leader*. Her surrogates are functioning as a flanking cavalry. The surrogates are the ones addressing bias related to race & gender.

This gives Harris a "cleanliness." She can stand apart from the attacks b/c the surrogates--the cavalry--are flanking her. I will repeat that Republicans like Cheney have made the choice to join this cavalry without concessions. Which is to Harris's *great* credit as a leader. It is also, as hard as it may be for some of us to say, of great credit to these Republicans.

Harris's campaign is historic because of who she is, as a Black-Indian American Woman. It is historic because of who & what she is fighting: American fascism. It is also historic b/c it involves a *new coalition* that has not involved triangulation anywhere but rhetorically.

Further, this new coalition is remarkably cohesive & laser-focussed. The media is missing a great story here, as they are mired in bias & "horse race" false equivalencies. But the rest of us need not miss the story of this moment, including Harris's excellence in leadership.

What are we, as Democratic voters, going to do as members of this historic coalition? Leaders in the cavalry--from Obama to the Cheneys--are out there building permission structure to vote for Kamala. How are we, as voters, going to join the fight this week?"

When you have to fear death threats or violence for yourself or your loved ones, reprisal or revenge, that's abuse. It's not sustainable for a political party. Trump *will* lose more support from registered Republicans this election than in 2020 because he has become more focused on revenge, retribution, and threats.

"Some Republican voters fear revenge by ‘the Trump people’

they will literally destroy the party

About a third of eligible voters in Georgia have voted by now.

wow!!

[quote]The Sabato Crystal Ball and the American National Election Survey combined encompass a record of citizen forecast polling that stretches back to 1956. In every presidential election since then, “whenever the expectation percentage has exceeded 50%, as is the case with the Harris-Trump race, the forecast of the presidential winner has always been correct,” states the summary released Wednesday.

I think there are Republicans who secretly voting for Kamala. It's hard to know if they will help in the end. I have relatives who were Republicans who died prior to Trump going into politics. I believe if those relatives were alive they would loathe Trump.

Not a lot of people want to be with someone or a group of people who they feel forced to be with, by threats of violence or revenge. Not when they have a way out that's secret (voting).

This isn't just about Democrats vs MAGA. It's about a coalition of Americans from all kinds of affiliations vs. MAGA and a few dipshit billionaires who want us to be slaves.

"Many people are saying" on steroids. I guess that means even Dems agree that she can't win this, right? 🙄

Ha! I hope every last one of those Federalist cunts drops dead of shock when Harris is sworn in!

Those pricks are the ones behind all of this fascist bullshit. The kkkochtopus.

Marist polling of early voters:

AZ: Harris 55 Trump 44

NC: Harris 55 Trump 43

GA: Harris 54 Trump 45

[quote] Nate Silver is now saying that his gut tells him Trump Will win.

Does anyone see the irony in Nate Silver - who bills himself as a quantitative, dispassionate data geek - making a totally emotional, qualitative “prediction” based on a hunch?

Anyone can do that.

And he gives himself an out by saying he could be wrong. How convenient.

He truly has revealed himself as a useless, paid-off tool.

Vote blue and make this creep unemployable.

If you read the article the headline doesn't match. He says his gut says Trump for clicks. The article actually says it's basically tied and there's a strong chance all swing states break for Harris and she could win. He's just being a shit stirrer and probably has millions on those crypto betting apps or foreign betting sites. An headline like that can swing the betting market and make him a fortune.

Anyone else see that Trump is now saying he might abolish all income tax! Another sign that he is not at all confident and is throwing out more freebies.

[quote] Everyone knows that if Trump doesn’t win this election, it means we don’t have actual elections anymore, because there is no way Kamala Harris wins a lawful election. Everyone sees it and everyone knows it.

When will this stop? It's exhausting. Will they stop this shit when he loses or will we have the same BS for the midterms and for the 2028 election.

It's a big gut but I'm not sure that actually means anything.

We will no longer have elections. We will have "elections".

It will never stop until the Federalist Society is absolutely CRUSHED INTO OBLIVION.

This means that every candidate they prop up needs to be cunt punted and HARD.

They’ve been doing this shit for 60 years and they will not stop. We are in this for the long haul.

That doesn’t mean we can’t take a breath and relax. But we cannot go back to being complacent in regards to elections. We can’t. We need to pay attention and vote in EVERY election.

I really think that Trump has changed the game R432 - you no longer need to adhere to common decency or have any shred of integrity to be GOP. They don't believe in democracy, they embrace the most cruel and depraved behaviour. They are sick sick fucks. In order for Trump to end - he needs to get his ass handed to him at the polls.

I think he has opened a Pandora's box and very dangerous people like Vance and Thiel now see what is possible. Not recognizing the results of the 2020 election should disqualify you from running or holding public office IMO.

Those are great numbers at r424, and not surprising. Anyone care to elaborate on what they might mean, are they a harbinger of what's to come and if so, why.

r429 HOLY SHIT!

They mean, r437, tgat the thugs and their cronies have flooded the airwaves with lies disguised as “polls”.

Kamala has MOMENTUM, aka “The Big Mo” and she’s rolling.

We keep banking votes and running up the score. That means if there is a flood, hurricane, power outage, snowstorm, sandstorm or whatever and thugs can’t get to the polls on Election Day, they don’t have the votes.

THEY DON’T HAVE THE VOTES.

Keep your foot on the gas and ignore those polls.

I love Kamala's look at the Atlanta rally tonight. Dressed up jeans, so cute!

She wears clothes *very* well.

She's going upbeat tonight. It's best.

I marvel at her energy and her ability to engage and connect with people. You can’t do this without confidence and conviction.

ugh!

"Interesting nuggets in NYT/Siena:

Harris cut Trump’s lead on the economy **in half** since last month

Among the 15% of voters still not fully decided, Harris is up by 10. Two weeks ago, Trump led them by 1.

Late breakers are swinging her way - same we saw in Emerson last week."

Some wholesome Gwen Walz to start your weekend.

And, R488, you'd never see Usha Vance there, because she can't eat beef.

Gwen has a similar vibe as Nancy Pelosi. Kind, sweet & motherly .... but intelligently authoritative too.

Only foreign dictators who hate America, traitors, and felons are vouching for him.

"Ex-Trump aides emerge to back Kelly’s harsh warnings

The letter from former White House officials comes as Harris is leaning into her closing argument that Trump is a threat to democracy."

"Kamala Harris will return to Philly Sunday for church, Puerto Rican food, and a barbershop visit as Trump heads to Madison Square Garden

Harris’ full-day tour will focus on predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods. She'll first attend services Sunday morning and deliver remarks at a Black church in West Philadelphia."

wow! she was JUST in philly

[quote]Harris’ full-day tour will focus on predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods.

So ,what else is new?

Pennsylvania is the most critical state in this election and Philly is the most critical area in PA. Harris must get out the Dem Philly vote to win. It’s all about turnout now.

Yes she can win PA if she turns out Philly. They could probably call it quickly if Philly has high turnout and the first counts go overwhelming for Kamala.

the urban vote and the suburban vote is the most crucial

18th st, btw 7th & 8th Ave

Apocalypse Now

I love Gwen and Tim and their family!

R49. Old Chelsea Station 10011

Tim Walz in in Philly. There was an alert that a man was spotted on a roof.

The final NYT and CNN national polls look like shit, worse than for Hillary.

Nevertheless, I'm still perfectly calm, there's no way he can win this.

Re r499

The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement in this year's presidential race, the editor of the editorial pages has told colleagues at a tense meeting this morning

God damn

Bezos is a pussy terrified he’ll lose his government contracts.

This was always the risk with all of this media consolidation.

It is, indeed, the Amazon Washington Post.

Yesterday we did our second sign waving event for Kamala at a busy intersection. Both times we heard gunshotty type noises. Can rednecks make their cars do that on command? Seemed coincidental and intentional. Both times we all bowed up and walked towards the "shots". We all laughed a little and said gunplay wasn't out of the realm of possibility. Nobody screamed, or pissed their pants or anything. We all stayed, undeterred. I can't see a gaggle of Trumpers behaving the same way. Also just as we were packing it in, this guy came to our staging area with an American flag and a Trump flag on his truck and drove around the bank we were parked at like an asshole. I couldn't hear what he was screaming over his engine and tires. As soon as this big Black guy in our group topped the hill, he took off like a pussy, tires smoking. We all laughed some more.

R504, this is NOT 2016.

Doing the right thing (but let's not call her name)

If the GOP has to hold their noses and vote for Harris, fine

Sacha Baron Cohen Brings Back Borat and Ali G for 2024 Election Parody

Cohen mocked presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a viral "The Tonight Show" appearance.

[quote]Among the 15% of voters still not fully decided, Harris is up by 10. Two weeks ago, Trump led them by 1.

That's the whole ballgame right there. An 11-point swing in two weeks is impressive. The NYT/Siena poll is the highest rated poll in the US, so if they are showing this, it means a lot. Emerson College also showed the same thing last week.

Whoever gets the late-breakers wins in a close election. That's how Trump won in 2016. Mitt Romney's former campaign strategist, Stuart Stevens, predicted a few weeks ago that the race would be very close up until the final week and then it would break for Harris.

The punch the LA Times and the Washington Post will take from this from a journalistic credibility standpoint cannot be understated. This is far beyond this election.

No Pulitzer committee will reward this craven behavior, even if the reporting is worthy. And no talented, ambitious journalist will want to work for an organization known for cowardice. It’s an embarrassment and you’ll never be rewarded because no one respects it.

This is what happens when people without a journalistic background - not to mention countless conflicting interests - purchase news organizations.

This is no longer the paper of Woodward and Bernstein. It’s Amazon Post Prime.

There's a new VA poll that shows Harris leading Trump by 1% . Her lead in MN is slipping.

I’ve heard stories where if you knew what really goes on at Amazon, you’d be using Walmart + and Target exclusively.

Yes, Walmart, who have long been synonymous with employee abuse and general greed, pales in decency and morality compared to Amazon.

Time to test that theory.

[quote] There's a new VA poll that shows Harris leading Trump by 1% . Her lead in MN is slipping.

Please share this poll, troll. I’m eager to see it. Is it one of those new, illegitimate right-wing funded polls that emerged from nowhere in the past month to gin-up the averages?

I’m eager to see. Please, share, Ivan.

Also, there’s a new poll that says your mom is known as the Siberian Slut who will take 15 dicks for a handle of cheap potato vodka.

I’m presently in line to vote early at city hall, philadelphia, PA. It’s 1pm on a Friday and at least sixty people are ahead of me. Something I’ve never seen. I usually vote on Election Day and at an easy going time like now. In 2020 I mailed in my ballot. I hope this means philadelphia outperforms the last election

Harris is + 5 in MN. Nice try though. Again, gay MAGA tools are repulsive

And the young couple behind me are voting for the first time, being college kids. The boy mentioned that he only registered a little over four weeks ago

To demonstrate the importance of newspaper endorsements, in 2016, only six newspapers in the country endorsed the obese, melting rapist. Just six.

The sadder holistic theme: no one reads newspapers anymore. A TikTok endorsement, sadly, carries wore weight.

Nonetheless, Bezos is a piece of shit. I’ll happily pay another 25 cents for dog poop bags at Target moving forward.

I cancelled my subscription a while ago. Washpo is stupid bad about billing

[quote] Among the 15% of voters still not fully decided, Harris is up by 10

I've seen it 68-32 in her favor on another poll. The Tipp Poll which is as right wing as you can get (their homepage articles would make you vomit) was right in the last 2 elections and has her holding a steady lead of 2-3 since the debate. Watch for her to break on that poll next week. If she's up 4,5 on that poll on Nov 1 she's likely to win in a blow out.

I too just canceled WaPo. Fuck those cowards.

[quote]There's a new VA poll that shows Harris leading Trump by 1% . Her lead in MN is slipping.

The Virginia poll is by crap pollster Quantus. From The New Republic:

[quote]It all went down in mid-September, at a time when the FiveThirtyEight polling averages showed the slightest of leads for Kamala Harris in North Carolina, a must-win state for Trump. Her edge was short-lived: The averages moved back to favoring Trump. And Quantus Insights, a GOP-friendly polling firm, took credit for this development. When a MAGA influencer celebrated the pro-Trump shift on X (formerly Twitter), Quantus’s account responded: “You’re welcome.”

R537 How objective, impartial and data driven 🙄

Hopefully, 2024 will denote the year jerking-off to polls became irrelevant 🪦.

You're welcome sounds almost like an admission of tweaking methodology.

? ? ? ?

[quote]Quantus’s account responded: “You’re welcome.”

[quote]I too just canceled WaPo. Fuck those cowards.

Remember this if Trump wins. When he starts to turn on journalists and newspapers for criticizing him, I don't want to hear a damn thing from them about being intimidated or the loss of press freedom. You enabled the bastard and these are the consequences. The same those for other outlets that "normalized" a fascist as if he was just another candidate.

I never normalized him. The legacy press did

Aside from how much fun Coach is having, I love how JT shakes his hand like, "oh hey, nice to meet you."

Bush advisor Matthew Dowd just said on TV that he cancelled his subscription because of this.

Bezos is a piece of shit.

Will we overcome, gurlfriend?

Didn't Bezos bring that right wing turd from the UK to run The Post?

R537 Yes. It’s basically the Daily Mail now.

it's better than the NYT though

Now, there's a low bar to jump over, R539.

Walz is starting to pack the pounds back on. Must be all the "regional delicacy" campaign stops they're forced to do. Those morning runs of his can only combat so many cheesesteaks, cheese curds, and coney dogs.

R541 Which makes him a perfect DL ally.

Why are they so scared of this piece of shit? Can't somebody just come out and tell the truth?

The world is truly upside down. The Cheneys are campaigning for Democrats and I’m dumping Amazon for Walmart +.

If I hadn’t already cancelled my WP subscription after the Biden debacle (not holding Dump to the same standard) I would have cancelled after this. R544, I’m with you, Walmart is just as comprehensive as Amazon.

Are they in support of the Harris ticket?

Bezos had some party years back that Ivanka and Jared attended. He's against unions and is probably a Trumpster.

Trump has issued a Cease & Desist. This doesn't sound like a candidate who thinks he's winning.

What exactly am I supposed to cease and desist doing?

[quote] Those morning runs of his can only combat so many cheesesteaks, cheese curds, and coney dogs.

Almost all of the early votes from Democrats will be for Harris. But it's likely not as many Republican early votes are for Trump as he is hoping.

That will be the big question mark till Election Day.

These hoarders of cash and resources are worse than nutcases on Hoarders who have dead cats crushed under piles of ancient newspapers. Medicate these assholes

I'm with R513. It's good that they're pushing how close it is, because Harris needs voters to punch her name as much as possible, not stay home or leave prez choice blank. Trump isn't likely gaining more voters himself at this point.

I love that, r543! So typical Midwest dad - “tell the kids we said Hi!”

I had this same interaction about an hour ago with someone I met for tea.

From Twitter, something obvious, true, and a bit scary.

The Washington Post registered 1600+ cancelations of digital subscriptions in the first three hours

Good. I have looked to the WP for 50 years to be a beacon for journalism and they killed it. As I posted, I already canceled after the Biden debacle, but they need to receive the message that they have let down the American people.

I personally know of more than 20 cancellations. It’s likely much higher than 1600. Sadly, my Prime renewed, so I can’t cancel for another 335 days.

So I get that they were fearful of potential retribution, but they had to know what kind of people their subscribers are, Do they think there are any MAGAts subscribing to the WP?

My Prime renewed in March. I won't renew it next year. I cancelled my WaPo digital subscription back in June.

I'm looking at twitter now and there are tons of tweets talking about WaPo cancellations. Stephen King said he cancelled after 5 years.

I liked this tweet from this guy who is state senator in Iowa.

Zach Wahls @ZachWahls I am a strong believer in paying for serious, high-quality journalism, and that is exactly why I am canceling my @washingtonpost subscription over this timid, cowardly decision that could not come at a worse possible -- or more revealing -- time.

I can’t believe so many people were paying for this shit.

I’m so tired of these “miracle elixirs” promised to really rid us of Trump this time.

Remember the Access Hollywood tape? What’s worse than that? And he got elected.

Here’s the really damning thing, the really awful thing. It’s not a Trump victory. Even if he loses, there are tens of millions of people in this country who are keen to have a sexual molester, pathological narcissist, a racist, and a fascist as president. Thats like terminal cancer for the country.

R568 No, he hasn't.

Katharine Graham and Ben Bradlee must be rolling over in their graves right now.

I know many people didn't like The Post, but I thought it was a a good film.

If Trump wins, Danny Strong should write some tv movie or miniseries on Bezos, and other newspaper owners refusing to endorse candidates and the other billionaire assholes who are in league with Trump.

I wonder if Mark Cuban or Bill Gates will comment.

Harris supporters ordered free tickets to attend the Trump Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden. Hilarity ensues!

Trump on Friday met in Austin, Texas, with executives from the Bezos-owned space exploration company Blue Origin, among them CEO David Limp, the Associated Press reported

Limp.
