I heard that White Dudes for Harris account and maybe individual accounts were suspended. And I can say that I was suspended and have not gotten a response to my appeal either. And I never Tweeted just followed and was in some pro-Harris DM groups and communities. Maybe for the better.

Thoughts on Mark Kelly as VP pick? I think he’s the best choice. He fills so many boxes of the “American Ideal”: Veteran and War Hero, Astronaut, Devoted Husband Who Helped his Wife. Mark Kelly is a Democrat in a Swing State who could help appeal to not just moderates and other key demographics, but can also counter whatever talking points/criticism the other side might try to level against Dems

This might be for the mods or team in <#1245826306780823563> or something more local. I can get you a link to get involved with your local DNC affiliated group. And I can point you to <#1268377860650045551> to ask questions there too. This channel is for discussing the news cycle though. I highly recommend taking Orientation so you can better find what you need on the server: <#1268398483841220649> then <#1268398608097476750>. I do know Kamala's campaign is very plugged in with Obama and his network and he and Michelle have endorsed her.

Thanks for the follow up info. I would sure hope that no reasonable person would hold it against Kamala that her husband had an affair in a prior marriage. Also it would be the definition of throwing stones from glass houses if the other side tries to bring this up, given who their candidate is.

replying to 2024-08-03T21:46:17.586+00:00 by Tim Barham [IL] Thanks for the follow up info. I would sure hope that no reasonable person would hold it against Kamala that her husband had an affair in a prior marriage. Also it would be the definition of throwing stones from glass houses if the other side tries to bring this up, given who their candidate is.
Exactly. It’s a grain of sand compared to his beach. Entirely insignificant. The only frustration is the media doing what it does best—focusing on unequal topics to balance the scales (bothsidesism).

I have a massive push back from a local FB group on Project 2025. They are claiming I am spreading lies and misinformation sharing Project 2025 information. This has been going on for days. They have linked a news article from CNN fact checking VP Harris on Project 2025 not even really pertaining to the video. The odd thing is this - CNN article is using MARY VOUGHT. She runs Vought Strategies and is married to RUSSELL VOUGHT. I do not think CNN is trustworthy. This woman is also the PR for my Governor and has ruined my states community. I am having to turn off all the commenting. I am worried they are going to charge me with election interference. Am I even in the right tab? There is really something weird going on here. I am not sure if I can post links in here.

I'm so sorry you're getting such pushback! I think CNN dropped the ball on that one. while 2025 might not explicitly say it, there's a report: https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/issue-briefs/?id=DDF54EF1-9601-4C04-BE87-DA296185FC14 that lays out what would be involved financially to make those ultra-wealthy tax cuts happen. When Harris said, 'When you read it, you'll see what he intends . . .' she meant you'd see it by analysis, not literally see it in writting. Also, how many times has the Republican party been fact-checked? 👀 Way more than the Dems, that's for sure.

Ali Velshi has been an amazing rsource for Project 2025 on msnbc. If you search for 'ali velshi timothy schneider', you'll see a brilliant conversation about the strategy of Project 2025...Break the Government, Tell People the government is broken, and only he can fix it. But it's actually true that we will all have to beg him and his oligarchs. Also, Velshi's segment about the military and national security apparatus. Project 2025 plans to give all high school students a "military readiness" test. And replace all generals with trump loyalists. Same for CIA and FBI. I don't think people realize what's coming. We have to tell them.

There's a super timely bit in this one about Kamala and bears. My post copy: Kamala dropped off bears, too.🧸💙 #Kamala2024 "The first time Harris was overseeing adoptions for the court … she rushed into her office with an armful of teddy bears to distribute to families as a token of that day. It hadn’t been done before."

As of 9 min ago: Kevin Munoz, a spokesperson for the campaign of Kamala Harris, said on social media that the vice president is yet to make a decision on a running mate. “We understand the excitement and interest here, but VP Harris has made no decision on a running mate yet!,” he said in a post on X. Munoz was responding to a local report that said Harris had made her decision and that her running mate has accepted. CNN reported earlier that Harris is focusing on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, although the process, these sources cautioned, is still fluid and none of the finalists can be ruled out until Harris makes her decision. Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly remained in the running as of Monday afternoon, a source told CNN.

I've removed the other posts, thanks for the reminder. I also wanted to share what I think is imminent messaging from the Trump/Vance ticket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIP3k1jCcTs "Extremist Walz wants every city in America to broadcast Muslim call to prayer!" I've already had one of my Republican friends share this with me angrily. I'm not against this at all, but we should be prepared to combat/rebut this hateful and misguided messaging.

So I am seeing a major decline in enthusiasm among my connections in upstate NY since Walz was added. For those who don't know. NY is now considered a battleground state . Most were pulling for Buttigieg and feel unheard after facing such an onslaught of anti lgbt laws more than any other time in history. The sadness and drop in enthusiasm is extremely palpable. How can I inspire enthusiasm to grow again? It's like a major drop.

I don’t think NY is anywhere close to a battleground state. This just happened today, people might feel a little disappointment but it should subside. Buttigieg himself has already been boosting Walz, if they trust him they should trust his support in Walz as well.

Also just think about the day that Biden dropped out. Everything felt really shaky for a few days leading up to it, then when it happened I went on a walk to think through things, then Harris has had this incredible momentum I never expected. I imagine once people start seeing Walz more they'll come around pretty quickly
2024-08-06T15:09:57.342+00:00 by Ian S. (NY-25) [ idrive66 ]
Looks like the battleground data was more centered around when Biden was still running. If we can put together a sheet with LGBTQ+ track record for Walz it would be really helpful to be able to quickly grab from it. I feel personally Walz can speak to the center field for sure.
2024-08-06T15:10:59.258+00:00 by Ian S. (NY-25) [ idrive66 ]

A related observation, Trump's camp is definitely lying right now about how they're relieved over it not being Shapiro. They knew how to attack Shapiro (and so did everybody else). They have no idea how to attack Walz because he appeals to the same voters who swung WI/MI to Trump in 2016.

This is definitely true, anywhere outside of NYC is definitely purple. NYC is maddening for its own reasons too, nearly every vote is decided in the democratic primaries. In the best case scenarios it's a progressive dem versus a centrist Dem, but usually the progressive won't have enough community support to breakthrough, and well financed candidates get through and defeat absolutely any Republican on the other side.

NY is not a battleground state. If some idiot tells you it is; put them on ignore. God knows what other fake news they'll try to feed you. New York has voted over 60% Democratic Party for the last 36 years. We also have a Democratic Governor and two Democratic Senators.

Not sure if this is right channel. Hoping someone that’s working on the reach library content sees this… can we get a “Waltzing into the White House” meme into the reach library with Kamala & Tim”.

replying to 2024-08-06T15:02:56.433+00:00 by Ian S. (NY-25) So I am seeing a major decline in enthusiasm among my connections in upstate NY since Walz was added. For those who don't know. NY is now considered a battleground state . Most were pulling for Buttigieg and feel unheard after facing such an onslaught of anti lgbt laws more than any other time in history. The sadness and drop in enthusiasm is extremely palpable. How can I inspire enthusiasm to grow again? It's like a major drop.
I'm in Western NY, and I'm not seeing that at all. I promise you we are not even close to being a battleground state! 😘

This just came in email from Publisher's Lunch, a professional writer's and publishig news org I'm a part of. Good to know: Heritage Foundation President's Book Delayed DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT by Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, with a foreword by JD Vance--the book associated with the conservative organization's Project 2025 policy agenda--has been moved to a publication date after the election. The book was slated to come out from Broadside on September 24; Edelweiss and major bookselling websites now list the pub date as November 12. Roberts told Real Clear Politics in a statement that he decided to move the book. "There’s a time for writing, reading, and book tours – and a time to put down the books and go fight like hell to take back our country," he said "That’s why I’ve chosen to move my book’s publication and promotion to after the election." Last week, The New Republic published Vance's foreword in full, and reported that they obtained an early copy of the book. Broadside has not responded to a request for comment.

This in particular: > "There’s a time for writing, reading, and book tours – and a time to put down the books and go fight like hell to take back our country," **We** are taking back our country from extremist politicians who want to force everyone else to bend to their will and erase individual identities and lifestyles they don't like, understand, or even know. Who want to ignore climate change for the sake of money. It is time to fight. And we are. Against him and his cronies and their Handmaid's Tale plan. No American with a heart wants that.

Not a teacher but have a son with autism and all three of my kids have ADHD so very familiar with 504 and public school advocacy/team building with the staff! Very admirable and inspiring to see a dad doing this! In TX, there's some resistance to accommodations and building understanding and compassion.

lol. we need yo be cognizant that there is a large section of our country who believes every word he's saying. We must work with our "neighbors" so they feel heard, but redirect them to the truth and the facts. We need to get back to a place where just because someone SAYS something, doesn't mean it's true. Sadlt, many trump followers treat his words as gospel. We have to work to see them, hear them, but then turn them to see how they're being played. we can villainze trump (he welcomes it), but we can't villainize our "neighbors" of differing views.

I am watching this and thinking about how to redirect a conversationa with potential trump texters. And to bring civility to his points, which has been lacking in all of his words thus far. Contrary to what we may believe, there's a large trump sect that like civility and open dialogue.

To a point yes. But I meant that from personal experience growing up in TX with abusers and evangelical Christians. It was an abusive environment so I just don't condone forcing it that far.

Absolutely. First of all, campaign volunteers aren’t here to essentially deprogram people. And with all of this, we meet people where they are, and if that’s planted firmly elsewhere, energy is better spent on moving those who are ready for a walk.

I believe that. I'm 52 and never seen anything like it in my life. We know politicians lie/fudge/speak out of context but this is a new level.

I'm 75 and I've only seen some one lie as much per sentence as Trump once in my life. His name was Joe McCarthy, but he didn't have as many opportunities.

I'm curious how persuasive McCarthy was compared to Trump IRL, from your perspective! He was responsible for the Red Scare wasn't he?
2024-08-09T01:03:05.619+00:00 by Wim [ energetic_mango_75468 ]
Yeah, he was responsible. He was very persuasive because Americans were especially scared of (maybe even paranoid about) the Russian Communists after WWII. The Russians claimed they were taking over the world (and having just dodged the bullet of the Nazis) no one was feeling ready to go to war again anytime soon. McCarthy's idea that there were people within our government ready to help the Communists was really frightening. Overtime, his lies caught up with him. More and more people started to see the injustice his angry, demagoguery had perpetrated. However, a lot of people suffered greatly in the meantime.

I just read a tweet from a U.S. citizen originally from Poland who lived through a lot of that too and spoke about the dangers of authoritarianism since that is a better predictor of unrest more than which political and philosphical theories the government is based on. In my anecdotal experience, and having traveled to Poland and Israel on human rights study trips, I've found this to be true. Stripping rights away happens in these authoritarian governments, along with silencing and harming opponents. Populism combined with authoritarianism is dangerous.

I did some digging yesterday and they aren't in any one place online, including the campaign website. They may add those later, just the campaign is so new and they are still hiring staff per job postings online. 🙂 Thank you for your patience!

I particularly liked the point he made about networks broadcasting Trump's rambling vitriol but not giving air time to the Harris/ Walz UAW event. Shameful. 💯

Just curious, how are the press or people posting online getting the press releases? It would be great to always be caught up with current campaign messaging. Would be too much to ask to have them all reposted on the discord somewhere?

There is no one place as of now. Not sure if the campaign will add a page later, but they are still hiring staff so we'll keep an eye out for a way to get more of those. We could post them in here or possibly make a channel but we're trying not to get too overwhelming with the channels. We'll let everyone know if it changes!

I vote for posting the press releases, campaign statements, and the Youtube channel here or in announcements channel. It's very hard to find online and the official website doesn't have links to the Youtube channel or news releases.

The little search box in the upper-right (desktop) is good for finding things. You can also "copy message link" and then share in another channel?

Very Republican of them. They play politics like football, winner take all, lots of smack-talk. They hold big pep rallies, have cute cheerleaders. Not a lot of substance. More brawn than brains. But they're good at making a united front.

moved post! Hey all, I was listening to Pod Save America this morning, and Dan Pfeiffer made a wonderful point when talking about we can get Kamala elected: "she has to educate people about herself - the single most important thing is to educate them about her bio, her positions, and her values. She has high name ID, people know almost nothing about her, and the persuadable voters know less than everyone else." I think this is such great advice - we can make a great impact just by sharing what we know about her and what we like about her work so far. For all of VP Harris's accomplishments, she is delightfully relatable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkG3Mr0cZC0 (hear Dan's quote at the 20:49 minute mark)

replying to 2024-08-10T17:32:48.898+00:00 by Daphne I’m swing specifics on #electoralcollege issues and how Trump could steal the election by not certifying votes at the election board levels. <@957714233217409174> can we get a channel- or can I be directed to a channel- on election fraud, efforts to prevent republican biased election boards from certifying the election. What’s the plan? Trump could lose the popular vote and electoral college and have Congress vote him in???
I'll jump back on in a bit to give a better response but there is a plan and super structure I've read about to combat some of this and I'll check into more.

The only thing that I’ve heard is that there are a group of wide attorneys who are trying to do something about the laws that have been used illegally to change this. I have not heard and I’ve been looking for how citizens can take action to try to change us other than just showing up at local and state boards voicing their opinions but personally, I don’t think that’s enough.
2024-08-10T21:05:21.301+00:00 by Beth Baras Vermont [ bethbarasvermont ]
Nation wide attorneys.
2024-08-10T21:07:25.04+00:00 by Beth Baras Vermont [ bethbarasvermont ]
Actually, I don’t think they are able to legally do what they’re doing, but there’s somehow getting away with it because up to now they’re not being stopped. I think that’s why this nationwide group of attorneys is trying to stop these efforts at least at the state level I don’t know about the levels because it’s happening there as well, which means it’s an awful lot of local and state election board that are doing this across the country. Seems to me there needs to be a massive outreach effort to try to figure out how to stop both state and local election boards.

Yes, we're focused on Team Harris-Walz campaign volunteers here. Our big goal/mission is to get Harris-Walz elected and a big blue wave up and down ballot. We aren't directly in touch with any team specifically working on the combatting fraud, that's not our jurisdiction per se, but there is an entire superstructure built by the Biden team that I'm sure is still addressing this.

The best way to prevent this is for us to win in a landslide. A huge win would make it much more difficult to impossible for them to even attempt or pull off. Blue Wave is our goal.

Even when and if Harris wins in a landslide, if local and state electors refused to certify the results, my understanding is that could stop the process from moving forward to the point that it could go to Congress or perhaps the Supreme Court to make the decision on who actually win the presidency. Which would be disastrous for the Harris campaign. And it could take months for the process to be completed. democracy.org has a lot of free newsletters written by some very bright people who are talking about these very topics.

I agree there is a risk and would love to help out somehow if there's any citizen group that can help. My understanding is it's largely up to attorneys and citizens cannot do much because it's all laws that need passing. I will look into it personally. We're just not equipped or trained here to offer guidance for how to get involved in this. I'll ask though, just in case anyone on staff knows something more.

It's also crazy because they literally have a process and a duty. They don't known who ppl vote for. They just are responsbile for ensuring it runs according to the process. They aren't there to judge anything. The local officials I mean, that's not their authority or job. If they claim fraud later, it reeks of them lying or having done something wrong themselves. They are there to prevent fraud.

But I’m not clear about is how Republicans have been able to actually get election certifiers who refused to certify the elections onto these local and state boards. And if there’s a process to replace them or add Democrats onto these boards to somehow prevent them from refusing to certify the results, does anyone have clarity on that?

I think there's lots of spaces where we can keep up with and voice concerns over the current challenges in the Middle East. It might be a good idea to keep this space focused on the election. I know it plays a big role! But in the past we've seen lots of people in the US from different backgrounds come together for solutions, and it's always worth it.

replying to 2024-08-12T00:49:51.848+00:00 by Megan Marie Sullivan, Chicago IL I think there's lots of spaces where we can keep up with and voice concerns over the current challenges in the Middle East. It might be a good idea to keep this space focused on the election. I know it plays a big role! But in the past we've seen lots of people in the US from different backgrounds come together for solutions, and it's always worth it.
Which "spaces" are you suggesting for this? I'd like to follow convos that are happening around this topic, so wondering where you were suggesting?

Not sure how many y’all frequent Daily Kos. But this is at the top of their rec listed diaries at the moment. One theory as to why Trump isn’t holding so many rallies is because he can’t secure venues. As has long been his style, he never paid all the bills for previous rallies even in 2016, so towns and municipalities are expecting advance payments—which his campaign can’t afford. The diary is keeping a running list of all the towns that have been stiffed. It’s a long list. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/8/11/2262167/-Deadbeat-Don-Why-He-s-Not-Holding-Rallies?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=trending&pm_medium=web

Makes me wonder how much venues are. I never thought about the costs so much—but it is nice they are free to attend.
2024-08-12T13:44:51.66+00:00 by Charlie [ zeltzerzootz ]
so, i did some digging into the finances, and even though the RNC raised 130 in july, they also had to pay for the convention, the speakers, places to stay, etc. If you look at how much the campaign spent in june, they only went into july with about $100M +/- (im not a math person, im a twitch streamer lol) but with the cost of the convention im betting they are almost COMPLETELY out of money. They spend 8M at USPS just at the end of June in one single transaction, there were more on there too. Not to mention the RNC is required to pay trumps legal fees because of the contract Laura trump put in place when she took over. They spent SOOOO much money on advertising against Biden, only for him to drop out, and thats why trump has been screaming about refunds
2024-08-12T13:45:46.076+00:00 by Charlie [ zeltzerzootz ]
also, they played the titantic music video and one of the rallies and its being reported the Celiene Dieon or someone on behalf of her record album is going after them legally for using it without having the license and showing it to and audience, then recording it and uploading it uncut you the internet

Also, the family of Isaac Hayes is SUING Donald Trump and his campaign for 134 counts copyright infringement for the unauthorized use of the song “Hold On I’m Coming” at campaign rallies from 2022-2024. In a letter, they demand Trump stop using the song and pay $3 million in licensing fees by August 16, 2024.

aggreed. You can be propalestine and not be antisemectic or support terrorism. Thats just a political way to keep the group seperated from the ability to have compassion for them which is why you hear that as the only talking point. Its just like the war on terror. Everyone was a terrorist and we renamed french fries because of it

There's nothing really to get ahead of. Trump literally hosts Nazis at maralogo. Also, being pro Palestine is not pro terrorism. It's just like saying being anti war on terror makes you pro terrorism.

You know, putting my tinfoil hat on, yeah. I've thought this too, especially with some of the internal sources I've read about on other leaks. Maybe the party is trying to pull something just so they can modify the platform to appeal to a broader base. Not a bad idea probably for them to do.

Which, if you've been online in recent years, is a death sentence. Mostly cause a majority of them have all banded together over their love of music. They are so strong they're bringing ticket master to its knees. The only thing he could have done worse would be like... idk say sports sucks or something like that

Okay, but I'm confused. It looks like the Jeffrey Epstein plane thing is not misinformation. Do you know for sure that it's misinformation? That video I linked shows that the plane serial numbers match, and that Trump is 100% using the original Jeffrey Epstein plane for campaigning. Someone close to Trump bought it for a good deal, and resold it to the campaign.

Hi Brentor! I haven't personally dug into this enough to determine the veracity of the reporting so I can't speak to that. Regardless, I'm not sure it's the type of news we're invested in amplifying here. Since there's been some dispute around it I'm going to ask that we leave this one alone for now.

Question about 2FA. Does everyone get asked to get this? Or, is this because I am being considered to be a Mod? I want to resolve this. If it is going to ask me to download an authenticator then I should resolve this from the Discord app on my phone. But I cannot find the alert on my phone Discord app. Any idea where the alert to get 2FA would be? Also, does it ask me to install an authenticator? Or does it just use a magic link to my email?

And polling has been pretty difficult recently. Project538 suspended their overall predictions temporarily when Biden dropped out on July 21, so you have to dig through the site. RealClearPolitics is conservative-leaning, and I realized that they delay their updates with Harris preforming well.

It's my understanding that they plugged in the current forecasts, but they can change of course. But it's fun to play with b/c as of now, their forecasts show all but my 3 additions. My only 3 additions were PA, MI, and WI since those are the three Harris recently took a lead in, and a strong lead. 🙂

Here's a similar map for the Senate races:
2024-08-13T03:22:13.901+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ]
From polling on 538, Dems are doing pretty well across the Midwest and South-West. Gallego in Arizona and Brown in Ohio are doing better than I expected. The only problem is Montana where it's a dead-heat race at the moment. West Virginia is pretty much gone and will flip red. If Montana goes too, the Senate is lost no matter who wins in November. Jon Tester is fighting for his life and I think Montana is the most crucial Senate election this year.
2024-08-13T03:22:45.567+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ]

Did you do this map too? What are your thoughts about a possible surprise blue wave-ish? I've heard polls usually tend to underestimate dem turnout and votes.

I did make this one too. If it's a blue wave, then the races in MI, WI, PA and OH are locked. AZ and NV would hold on well. Montana would probably hold on and maybe Florida would be like it was in 2018. I don't see anything else outside of those states being shifted right now.

I was working in policy in TX during Beto O'Rouke's run for governor. I learned then that based on policy position polls, it would be purple or blue if everyone voted. But the voting has gotten so messed up by Republicans. I voted with an ID with correct address, printout showing I was registered at that address, and they said I wasn't in the system and made me vote provisional, then mailed a letter saying my vote wasn't counted b/c I wasn't in the system. I was registered as a dem. So that's the first time in my 52 years anything weird like that has happened to me and it's also happened similar to many in TX I know. The've been removing so many polling locations, ballot boxes, etc across the state to silence the dem vote.

Yes, that frustrates me so much. To not have your own vote counted feels like a punch to the gut, especially when the state website for registration said I was registered to the right address. Months and months before that election. It felt rigged, for the first time in my life.

Here is a poll showing Trump +5 in Florida. Although it doesn't seem like much, Project538 shows polls from late last month with Harris behind by -6 to -8. So, some shift perhaps? It's also noted that the article this comes from really hammers in how Trump is underperforming the red wave that got DeSantis and Rubio reelected by double-digits.

Polling/Map Update: This morning I saw some pretty interesting numbers coming in. More polls are showing a better race for Harris in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. These are some added just recently over at Project 538.
2024-08-14T15:59:57.826+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ]
Also, from Florida! Polls showing a +2 to +3 advantage for Trump might be showing a competitive race in the Sunshine State. I'm holding off for calling anything but if this trend continues, Trump is in deep trouble.
2024-08-14T16:00:58.945+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ]
So here is an updated election map. Michigan and Wisconsin are being moved to tilt Harris. Florida remains lean for now, but might be moved to tilt or tossup if these trends continue.

<@1215056771886878721> This is super scary! I'm going to be very interested to see how/if this lawsuit is covered by the media. It should get lots of coverage *if* it's a legitimate threat...if not...then maybe it's just 'theater' for the red states to demonstrate their loyalty to DJT and not worth our time and anxiety. I'd recommend the podcast 'Strict Scrutiny.' It's a couple of Constitutional Law professors discussing current events. If this lawsuit is a threat then I'd imagine that they would address it on an upcoming episode.

My approach is to counter it when you can, but trump also says more lies per minute than anyone can reasonably debunk in a single conversation. If you're talking to someone whose mind is open to be changed, focus on one or two lies at a time that you're best equipped to argue against/debunk, and on issues most relevant to the person

it would probably be a conversation about corporate greed and the high interest rates - I think everyone who's home buying in the US knows the interest rates are the highest they've been in a few years b/c the fed is trying to rein in inflation. But I don't think I know anyone who reads the Daily Mail, and everyone remembers the great home buying spree of 2020. The Harris-Walz plan of getting new homes built and tackling corporate greed should help.

There's this - basically, Trump did issue an executive order but it was basically voluntary by the pharma companies and covered a small subset of Medicare recipients. Biden got it included in the Inflation Reduction Act (actual legislation, not just an EO), and it covers all Medicare recipients and is mandatory. Biden literally beat Trump on "The Art of the Deal" 😉 https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/fact-check-trump-lower-insulin-prices-false/

Harris Plans to Ban Grocery ‘Price Gouging.’ What Does the Evidence Say? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/15/business/economy/kamala-harris-inflation-price-gouging.html?smid=nytcore-android-share hey yall, I read this article in NYT which up until a couple hours ago was titled Harris calls it price gouging, but what do the economists say... COMPLETELY disregarding Harris's degree in economics!! She IS an economist! Now they've changed the title but it's still the same garbage. They quote some guy about how the egg prices were from low production... when there was an actual price gouging investigation that showed fixing!! Tldr; Harris is 💯 right on price gouging, has credentials to show it, NYT is doing adisservise to it's readers, and I don't use X but feel free to run with my indignation and let me know how it goes. Anyone who likes LTEs or talking to the press...They've changed the article once already...

So I think with the enthusiasm in the party down ballot races like this are going to be closer than people think they are. The race in Texas is actually within striking distance too.

Texas? I feel like Florida would be a closer race. Texas is going full out to unregistered voters and all of that stuff. Also, the numbers in Florida are better than Texas. Florida also has Harris' momentum building up and all those ballot initiatives can help out too.

Combatting high prices with strength is popular policy. It's what people want the President to do. Any "intellectual" or economist critique of these policies is vastly out of touch with the average American, because it amounts to handwringing over theoretical economic effects instead of the much more basic reality: lower prices make the cost of living more affordable for working people. It's the same reason that investing in the American people with big legislation like ARP, IRA, etc. is smart despite what deficit hawks attempt to fearmonger over: it materially improves people's lives in the immediate term. That is what politics is about. That is what government is about.

I usually donate to 2-3 senate races every cycle. Usually I look at the senate polling and pick ones that are competitive: one defense, one offense, and if it’s there, one that makes me giddy. So… this cycle, donating to Tester in Montana, because depending on the poll he’s either a few points up or down and we really need to hold that seat. The Texas race is worth it as an offensive play, and it’s close and we’ve just narrowly lost senate races there recently… I don’t have one making me giddy… yet… But I might donate to Osborn in NE who is running as an independent and seems to have a reasonable shot at unseating Fischer. Making Nebraska less red always makes me giddy…

Hi everyone, new here and curious if we have any comprehensive master-docs hyperlinked with reputable, unbiased sources/stats outlining failures and flawed logic of Trump/republican policies, particularly economically? So many individuals in socioeconomic groups that republican policy historically harms are convinced Trump’s “economic superiority” justifies everything else. I’m hoping to find a database of resources similar to this document that a gen z activist created in 2020, but haven’t found anything similar that’s more relevant to comparing our two candidates today: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vQu3FFQnKObUTmABEnw-s1TKYH9-9tpKXQoQYHAS-QjNiGcTE3vow42a99FXNi_ZoC0Q6gM9LfxasCe/pub?pli=1

Im so glad people are picking up on this. He somehow still has this reputation as “the funny candidate” even though he hasn’t been funny in years. Remember 2016 when people irl would make references like “build the wall” and “lock her up” in person? He hasn’t done anything that’s funny like that since 2020 at best. Personally, I’m just so bored of everywhere always covering this guy. I hope America as a whole can show how bored we are of him this November. 🤞

My reaction to the first few paragraphs is that 1. I agree she needs to trust her instincts more (not trusting them is one of many reasons why her 2020 campaign sunk) and 2. Fire Geoff Garin. Very interesting article!

2024-08-18T21:25:15.147+00:00 by KutieKatelyn [ kutiekatelyn ]

This reminds me of when Lester Holt tried to get on Biden's case about "not turning down the rhetoric" and Joe just leans in like "Why doesn't the media talk about the 28 lies he told at the debate? Lester, where you at on this?"

Biden was all about calling it out in his first post drop out interview. People might have issues with his age and foreign policy, but he calling a spade a spade and I’m here for it.

2024-08-18T21:36:14.125+00:00 by KutieKatelyn [ kutiekatelyn ]
I might be thinking too hard about it but the idea of calling it "weird" immediately makes it dismissible. The idea of "weird" is not something most people want to associate with. Walz put it best when he said "It's the emperor with no clothes", you call it out because it is objectively weird to want the things they do.

it is EXACTLY like the emperor w no clothes. Been that way for a while and weird I'm sorry but for that dude Garin like, maybe if they weren't so gd weird then we wouldn't be calling them that!

but yeah I think there's legit room for the Harris campaign to go even further with the whole "We're not going back" theme by invoking the myth of Orpheus... not necessarily the one from the game specifically, but the original story it was based on... "You want to end up like Orpheus? Vote for Trump. Want to get out of Hades? Vote Harris."

I'm sure it will. So much of the movement is based entirely around Trump, and by the end of Kamala's 8 years, there's no way he'll be fit to run again (if he's not in jail :P)

Not true, I remember a lot of people on Twitter warning progressives to stay away from DC that day because it would be bad and they didn’t want liberal people blamed for it. I definitely agree about Biden though. He would never allow it.

Though it may be an extremely crude comparison, the only reason that authoritarianism died down in Germany after they lost their leader was because of an extensive, widespread, and brutal deprogramming effort
2024-08-19T04:00:20.813+00:00 by Dillon Henriksen (IN) [ atlas191 ]

Well the biggest problem (among the public, not politicans) is things like Fox News spewing lies and propaganda and passing it off as fact, which I'm confident Harris will try to fight against

I was 25 in 2016, although being from the capital of NH with its \#FITN primary, I've been aware of politics pretty much all my life... like, the first candidate event I can remember was Bill Bradley in 2000, when I would've been 8, going on 9...

I guess you could say the combo of 9/11 in '01, Craig Benson becoming governor in '02, and the Iraq War starting in '03 was when my political awareness really started, though (like, in terms of getting involved in protests and writing letters to the editor and stuff)

Yea, I had a general understanding of who was who in politics from a younger age (10-11) but it really ramped up with the first Obama admin. Then there was Paul LePage 🙄

replying to 2024-08-19T04:02:57.595+00:00 by Dillon Henriksen (IN) Well the biggest problem (among the public, not politicans) is things like Fox News spewing lies and propaganda and passing it off as fact, which I'm confident Harris will try to fight against
We are right to be concerned. The thing with Fox News might be to continue lawsuits that cost them a pretty penny. The owners care about money and power. If Harris-Walz get 8 years and can diminish their power, and on the other front they are bleeding cash, that might help. Kamala is one of the smartest, street smart as well as book smart, people I've seen in my lifetime. When she surrounds herself with the same kind of folks, they may have an answer,

Joe Biden says it best .. and has in so many of his speeches. We have never lived up to the promise of what we could be. But when we try, we are better for it. I am 76 and lived through the years that were supposed to be so good, I am a lesbian who couldn't come out of the closet until I was in my 40's. There were the civil rights years when we fought so hard for equality and, of course, Roe v. Wade. But the great thing was we could fight. And we did. You, and everyone who is young give me so much hope. You have the ideals and the integrity and the enthusiasm to lead this country to a place it only hoped to be for so many years. Thanks you!

I recently looked at data provided by the Department of Homeland Security on the “border problem.” I was surprised by several aspects of the true nature of the issue, as opposed to a great deal of disinformation we are bombarded with. Here’s an emotional summary: It is straightforward. The yearly unauthorized entries at the border are about 1/2 a million. Meanwhile, about a million people overstay their authorized entry into the US. Another 1/2 a million people become legal residents in the US because of family ties. The number of “encounters” last year was 2 and a half million, but encounters are not unauthorized entries into the country! No one talks about Spanish tourists being a problem, one of the worst groups overstaying their visas, or the many US citizens' family members who become legal residents too easily. But there is an outcry about the inflated number of poor brown people risking their lives to cross the desert to sustain the American economy. Why? Because disinformation about a border invasion creates fear and uncertainty and ultimately votes for anyone promising to fix the non-existing problem. The attached pdf has data and graphs from DHS.

Well there’s no possibility of protesting republicans changing the behavior of republicans because virtually none of these people were ever going to vote Republican no matter what and the entire Republican electorate loves Israel for reasons of varying levels of sanity, whereas showing democrats that a key part of their electorate really doesn’t want to support Israel might actually change their behavior- and it has to a degree, certainly I don’t think the next dem admin, whoever it might be, will be this supportive of Israel

I imagine those who don’t like either will probably vote for him (if he’s on the ballot) I wouldn’t imagine they’d vote RFK Jr. Also I did see CNN interview one of the delegates of the “Uncommited Movement” and they seem reasonable, they’re just asking for a stronger stance against Israel, I think they’d still vote Harris, but idk about for nomination

Here's an informative, succinct LinkedIn post you might repost (not mine)—it lists pro-business federal regulations that Kamala Harris has supported as a senator and as VP, and what the regs have achieved. For anyone whose brain hasn't turned into MAGAmush, it should serve as a reminder that yes, Kamala is actually on Team Capitalism and not Team Communism. Sadly, the richest man in the world (sometimes) is apparently spreading the opposite message to some of his bros. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/joshfelser_climate-groups-begin-55-million-ad-campaign-activity-7231384615712612353-53OF?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

The trouble is that the court as an institution gives unaccountable power to people to restrict democracy. Justices of the Supreme Court may choose to use that power for good instead of evil but it’s nonetheless more power than any individual should have in a democracy

This is everywhere in my circles. We all know it's bogus, she's spoke out against him many times. I assume it will be handled in court, honestly. Little girls in England were just the victim of a mass femicide and there was a terrorist attempt by ISIS on her concert in Vienna, so this comes at a very difficult time for her and I think his team knows that. There's also rumors swirling online and in the media that a pop star will be at the DNC, so I think they're trying to sully an endorsement like the one from her that worked really well for Biden in 2020.

Yup, they don't. They also don't have a good grasp on how govt works—I've seen random online comments blaming Biden for the SCOTUS's overturning of Roe, for example.

So many people online just ignoring the border bill, the Reproductive Freedom for Women Act, the child tax credit bill all being tabled or failing, while also ignoring the bipartisan work like RFMA, IRA, and CHIPs act. They must've forgotten when Trumpers shut down the government for over a month because they wanted taxpayers to fund the wall that Trump said Mexico would pay for or the repeated (failed) attacks of the ACA or how he and his cronies have attacked SS and veterans benefits for every single budget since he came around. Even their orange king didn't get everything he promised, because of checks and balances. I don't know how these people come out of 12 years of mandatory education, where they take tests on US history over and over, and don't have a shred of a clue on how the government has to work. I've never seen a former president be this involved in the inner workings of the government, just calling people up and telling them what they will do to help him.

Electoral Map Update (08/21/2024) With the election just 76 days away, the electoral map looks better and better for Vice President Kamala Harris. Here are the changes: - Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District: Lean Blue to Likely Blue. This poll https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2024/08/20/harris-leads-trump-in-new-nebraska-2nd-district-poll/ shows a +8 advantage for Harris, showing a growing lead in the Omaha Area. - Michigan: Tilt Blue to Lean Blue. The news of Uncommitted leaders in the Wayne County Area endorsing Harris after her rally in Detroit can help improve her margins in the state, making it a little safer. - Florida: Lean Red to Tilt Red. Is a blue Florida possible this year? Maybe, but not quite yet. One video that shows me growing confidence in a close Florida is a clip of massive turnout to get out the vote in The Villages, a predominantly older community the usually goes for Trump. Not a tossup yet, but we'll see where the numbers go. - Maine's 2nd Congressional District: Likely Red to Lean Red. This poll https://scholars.unh.edu/survey_center_polls/807/ shows Trump with only a +2 lead in that part of the state, showing perhaps a shift in that area. Again, these are just numbers and colors on a screen. None of this matters unless we go out and vote on November 5th and work to get others out too. More updates will come closer to Election Day.

Yeah ... Doesn't seem to be affecting the stock market, though, so maybe we will get more screenshots today of DJT talking about "the last four years of economic disaster" or whatever while the Fox News chyron shows the Dow trending upward. Meantime, this CNN article provides some decent rebuttal material for such arguments (ack'ed that MAGAs will not listen, but others might): https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/08/21/economy/bls-jobs-revisions

If it helps any, RFK really only served to take voters/attention away from trump, rather than pulling any meaningful amount from the DNC. Him dropping out will increase trump's share overall share of potential voters, so we still need to be vigilant

In a shocking turn of events, RFK Jr. is going mask off and falling in line behind Trump like he was always going to. Now that Biden is gone and he is being ignored, his only real chance to aid the Trump candidacy is to try and get his dwindling voter base to go for Trump.

I took a look at the /RFKJrForPresident/ sub-reddit for the first time to get a sense of his followers' reaction. Too diffuse to say--from "he can still win" to "we just won the news cycle" to "F this guy if he endorses Trump." I like the last group best!

This is why I wouldn’t necessarily panic- no doubt some of his support will go to trump but tbh if you’re still for rfk at this point it’s probably because you refuse to vote trump- much of his support might go to the libertarians instead

replying to 2024-08-21T22:19:59.294+00:00 by KenArrari Yeah II mean I don't blame her personally that much, but it's just shocking that Biden isn't on the same page.

Although it is my personal belief that Kamala will be better for Gaza than Trump (and also better on literally every other issue) the milieu that I personally inhabit in America, everyone is so mad about Gaza that despite everything else they’re not supporting Kamala unless she takes a stronger position

replying to 2024-08-21T22:20:12.525+00:00 by Anum Aslam [CA -> TX -> CA] Most of the people I know are Muslim and very pro Palestinian and basically no one I’ve asked/talked to is voting Kamala on this issue alone. Some have even declared for trump… which I think is insane personally but
Yeah basically every muslim I know is going third party. Huge muslim and pali population here in NC and all of them were consistent dem voters until now. These should be the easiest votes to win.

A ceasefire isn’t actually signaling a change in U.S. policy, it’s more of a “calm down and go away” Maybe just embargo offensive weapons like US did with Saudi Arabia?

Yeah but at this point I think it's also synonymous. It's a full-blown extermination campaign. The only way we could ever really make them have a ceasefire before they've finished killing everyone is cut off their weapons supply.

so to those of us who are wondering how to counter the desire to 'send the democrats a message' - the strongest message you can send is the message you leave on the voicemail of your closest Democratic representative. But they can't do much of anything if they're voted out of office, and I don't think the administration that previously gave us the Muslim ban will do anything to help the situation for anybody.

They can't be messaged on either Twitter or Facebook, and I agree with the comments above, this isn't going to go away and after three days of invoking inclusion and an American history of standing up for civil rights the delegates are primed to join the sit in. Certainly it would be unwise to invoke Hamer's legacy tomorrow (as we should) without immediately drawing the parallel to the Mississippi Freedom Party being refused their seats. If Uncommitted can't be vetted then fair, but the most pragmatic answer is to give Tlaib the mic, as a Congresswoman she's incredibly popular and has been a party stalwart.

Coining the phrase “KamalaCrat” For those Republicans, Independents, and Just Don’t Cares who decide to vote for our Country and not for Donald Trump. It’s okay. You haven’t gone over to the dark side. The dark side came into your political space in the form of Donald Trump and his Extremists and pushed you instead to honor your core beliefs held deep in your heart of hearts. Belief in our democracy, belief in our country, belief in the power of the people to be better, to do better. Democrats will welcome you into their world and will still allow you to think and behave differently from them, because they will respect your choice to choose your country. I am a KamalaCrat. I have voted both Democrat and Republican in my life and have widely held beliefs from both sides. People like us used to be called Centrists. I don’t recognize the Republican Party anymore.

The issue is that the poll was worded with very heavy bias. People generally think “weapons -> death -> bad”, you’ll get a lot of people supporting fewer weapons. But poll the question “do you support a ceasefire that allows Hamas to remain in charge and no return of hostages” and you’ll get 70% of people voting No. I’d also like to see cross tabs, likely voter rating, and ranking of the issue (how many consider it top 3? Top 10?) If you have a link to the full data or find it, please let me know, I’d love to read up more!

It would also depend on what options there were. I support a ceasefire even if it allows Hamas to remain in power and I support a total weapons embargo and sanctions against Israel, but it won’t impact my vote in that I’ll still vote dem even if it doesn’t happen. If there wasn’t an option for that I figure a lot of people would have voted for embargo but this doesn’t necessarily mean they wouldn’t vote for Harris without it. I support kicking Israel to the curb but it helps no one to act as if doing so would be easy
2024-08-22T15:43:24.919+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
Though I will say that it’s inaccurate framing it as ‘ceasefire but hostages don’t return’ given that the deal Israel is currently not accepting involves the hostages returning- why should people be asked about a hypothetical ceasefire without hostages returning?
2024-08-22T15:50:19.833+00:00 by Andrew J [ andrewjabara ]
Quick reference: https://www.commondreams.org/news/kamala-harris-israel From July 25 through August 9, pollsters asked voters if and how the Democratic nominee pledging "to withhold more weapons to Israel for committing human rights abuses against Palestinian civilians" Regardless of belief, that’s a biased poll question
2024-08-22T15:53:48.681+00:00 by Andrew J [ andrewjabara ]
As for news about ceasefire, the ball is in Hamas’ court, why don’t you try asking Sinwar to agree to peace? https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ceasefire-blinken-israel-hamas-negotiations-1.7298070

People really need to give the Biden Administration more credit. These deals have been in the works for months, Netanyahu has faced pressure at home and abroad to end, and the sticking point continues to be things like I pointed out above (especially releasing hostages).

If you want to change policy dems are the ones it makes sense to protest
2024-08-22T16:07:33.411+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
I take them protesting us as a compliment to be honest- it shows they know we share the same values and the same commitment to humanity such that engaging with us would be productive, and it shows they know that trump will never be persuaded because he simply doesn’t care and just wants to support his fellow nationalist authoritarians
2024-08-22T16:07:50.92+00:00 by Andrew J [ andrewjabara ]
But optics are also important. Hurting Dem chances by giving more news stories and hit pieces for media is a sure fire way to boost Trump. Have you heard the phrase “cut off the nose to spite the face”?

Hey friends, just to echo what Gillian and Mlep said, I definitely want to empathize with anyone who feels this topic is worthy of discussion - it very much is! The reason we try to keep the conversation limited to volunteer opportunities and logistics is partially to make sure we can do things about the sensitive topics that bring us into the world of politics, while also making sure those working towards these efforts have the space to ask questions and learn while focused on those specific tasks. Please know that if we shut down a conversation here, that's not intended to say that these opinions or concerns don't matter! As Emily said earlier, there's also some great places to give feedback if you wish. https://democrats.org/contact-us/ is one place where the campaign is receiving feedback, and don't forget that those trained to use the REACH App can also share concerns documented from political engagement that way. Even if we don't have the space for every conversation here, rest assured the campaign can and does want to hear those concerns in other appropriate outlets!

The trait-by-trait breakdown is fascinating/sad...it offers a good framework for points to hit on when speaking to others about why Harris is the right choice. Respondents say Trump is better on supporting veterans, creating jobs, steering the economy, using good judgment....Gosh, all of this feels so easy to disprove with a few examples.

Many retired military feel left behind, unseen, or betrayed by the government in general (especially those who served in Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan)(Though not all obviously). The ones feeling that way are also often targeted by groups hoping to heighten their disillusionment/frustration/anger with the hopes of utilizing their specific skills to help their causes. I would recommend the Documentary: Against All Enemies (Free ATM on YouTube through the MeidasTouch Network) as I think it gives a decent perspective on what is going on there (at least in some cases)

What I really liked about Harris’s Econ speech was her talking about people who had worked at McDonald’s their whole lives, not just people temporarily there before they broke into the middle class- I think that was a gesture at including the poor alongside the middle class

Hi! It's very illegal under campaign finance law for this server to link to non-dnc fundraisers of any kind (given its status as being officially ran by the DNC). The Mod Team typically opts for "better safe than sorry" while deciding edge cases.

It's very illegal under campaign finance law for this server to link to non-dnc fundraisers of any kind (given its status as being officially ran by the DNC). The Mod Team typically opts for "better safe than sorry" while deciding edge cases.

OK. Yes, this feels very "edge case." 🙂 But I totally understand. Thanks so much for your efforts.

This article has some useful points and data for anyone who gets into conversations about the economy in "Tim Walz's Minnesota." It suggests that MN business leaders have a sense of corporate responsibility that translates into success and prosperity. Lots of Fortune 500 companies headquartered there, while "Minnesota boasts a triple A credit rating, nation-leading renewable energy generation, one of the highest real median household incomes, and, per our proprietary research, the third best investment return of state pension funds over a 10-year period." https://time.com/7014264/tim-walz-minnesota-economic-record/

I just listed them out myself—she mentions more than two dozen plans and policies. Stating that you will defend the rule of law *is a policy*. Maybe we took it for granted before, but this is a different time. I think many folks out there are papering over this sort of thing.

I think folks are looking for excuses to vote for what the other guy really stands for - it seemed pretty clear to me (i.e., strong economy for a few / select group or for many) - the trick is showing people through data points and statistics that diversity and an expanded economy is actually good for everyone. I think there could be more numbers, info graphics and hard data sets to prove that point - appealing to philosophy won't really work . And to be fair that might not even work - but that's the sense I get from some folks

We don't have a team doing that currently. The closest we have is Twitter Community Notes, a part of our Online Engagement Team. They fact check misinformation on Twitter. It's a great way to combat that.

Regarding VP Harris' accomplishments, https://kamalaharris.com/meet-kamala-harris/ is a good place to start and I would check in places like the Reach app and in our Amplify Messaging channels ( <#1250550849998946417>, <#1250876565366243348> , etc.) for more infographic-style content.

Mmm, I do have to disagree with Nate on his observation about what Hillary was wearing to her original speech, as if it's a coronation because it's white. I believed it was an homage to the suffragist movement, and that's how it played out in my social circles.

Even more hopeful: Trump has only won ONE election. And he barely won! 80,000 votes combined in PA/WI/MI. It was a fluke year. That lesson was burned into the Democrats who felt like they failed. No more. This Harris/Walz rollout is sublime. We're going to win if we just keep rolling.

Yeah - I agree with you on the objection to the coronation (I didn't catch that when I read it). There's definitely sexism there (as I noted, Silver leans to the conservative side). But I was struck by how positive he was about Harris.

Yeah, I don't worry too much because we're in California. He says it doesn't matter, and I say that I vote AS IF it matters. When we were in PA, he voted for Kerry (who neither of us really loved), then Obama. Because he knew his vote mattered there.

Great. I'm surprised how many ppl don't understand the Electoral College. I've had epic discussions w/ people who insist Ralph Nader wasn't at all to blame for Gore losing in 2000, and how voting Stein in PA in 2016 somehow made sense.

It used to be Dixiecrat run, being a "Southern" state. Ann Richards was Gov. But then the Southern Strategy took over.

This turncoat toad. He will probably bring a fraction of votes Trump's way. And we have another problem: the lack of a substantial Libertarian (like Johnson in 2016) to pull votes from Trump. Then we have Stein & West to pull from Harris. Not great metrics in swing states.

I have to be honest, I think that people voting for West or Stein are a little...confused about the candidates true intentions, to be kind. Are either of them actually on all the swing ballots? I've tried to look it up but the info I find is conflicting

The Green Party coalition doesn’t really have much momentum to begin with. Even with ranked choice voting in Maine, I never really saw them bring forth any kind of impact.

I think there's issues with impact available to a third party candidate, and I also believe experienced people bring something to the table that inexperienced people don't. Not saying a politician from the 70s is better than a brand new one, but in this election, we have the chance to elect a president who was recently a senator and a House member who also has governor experience. I think their recent experience will help them be able to actually get bills passed through the house and especially through the senate.

True. He's kooky. When Trump was introducing him today, he said "I'm going to create a panel for Kennedy" to investigate chronic disease. In other words, no teeth, no results. How sad. I'm reminded of Longshanks in Braveheart who got Scottish Nobles to bend the knee for peanuts.

replying to 2024-08-24T06:14:28.377+00:00 by Noelle (IN) I think there's issues with impact available to a third party candidate, and I also believe experienced people bring something to the table that inexperienced people don't. Not saying a politician from the 70s is better than a brand new one, but in this election, we have the chance to elect a president who was recently a senator and a House member who also has governor experience. I think their recent experience will help them be able to actually get bills passed through the house and especially through the senate.
Oh I think there could be headway made in regards to third parties at some point in the future, I just don’t think Jill Stein is the face of that.

Third party is more useful in local elections, where they can represent alternative issues, and bring forward more voices from local communities.

Many presidential 3rd party voters are one-issue folks that choose a candidate who represents that issue, kind of ignoring every thing else.

See, it's not exactly single issue voting I have an issue with. It's the ignoring all the other stances that I find problematic. I like a candidate with integrity. For example, I was watching videos of VP Harris from 2008 today on NowThis Impact's TikTok. She was speaking from the exact same places, about the exact same values and issues that she did last night.

I truly don't understand why cynics believe that voting for someone who wants a lot of progress, or even just holds a lot of hope, makes you stupid. Especially when we look at Harris's resume!! Everything about her record shows she knows how to deliver on promises, correct issues within an administration, and listen to people's concerns.

Wonderful! This is also an important aspect that many gloss over. Not only do we need our reps to vote in our interests, and if we never tell them, they just do what they want. But also, we're meant to elect who we like and then pressure them to do what we want! If there's no pressure you end up with guys like Mark Kelly, who is very popular but votes against unions

One of my long-time Lib friends liked Mark Kelley as the VP. He's a good Senator & all, but watching his speech last night... Walz is way better. I think Tim Walz is going to be a supreme surrogate for Harris in the swing states. Like Biden was for Obama. Maybe even better.

god i wish i could go full keynesian and be like deficit spending is good
2024-08-24T15:58:35.358+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
but yeah, to paraphrase her answer in the vid the economic growth that will come from people in the middle classes having these opportunities and using their money in the economy will ultimately lead to more tax revenue

Best thing is its also economically correct. Albeit it needs to be investing in people and not tax cuts for the wealthiest people in this country. Also press reporters gotta stop asking this question.
2024-08-24T16:02:25.187+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
the answer that i actually think is that the deficit doesnt really matter because our creditors would be hurt vastly more by an american bankruptcy than by the us not paying back the loans, but that doesnt really play well politically lol
2024-08-24T16:02:32.183+00:00 by Tori [ kittenladytori ]
I suppose to sum up, investing in people will pay for itself.
2024-08-24T16:02:59.115+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
the other thing is that tax cuts for the middle class is not something new for democrats

Absolutely she is! She lacks integrity and knows that she can promise whatever she wants because she's not going to ever have to follow through even a little bit. She's never held office above a town committee, or even tried! She comes around every few years to garner attention and money away from viable candidates. Many (including myself and the DOJ) are wary of her connections to Russian oligarchs as well.

+1. Anyone serious about building a party would, uh, do that ... In related/third-party candidates, apparently RFK Jr's New Hampshire campaign coordinator was the wife of Dana Rohrabacher (US House R-CA until 2019). D-Rohrabacher's Wikipedia page begins with "Rohrabacher has expressed strong pro-Russia and pro-Putin opinions which have raised questions about his relationship with Vladimir Putin and the Russian government.

Well if you think of it logically they have a reason to attempt to involve themselves in all of our politics as much as possible to direct funding, policy, etc that favors their needs/interests so not real shocking.
2024-08-24T16:44:21.073+00:00 by Ann (OH) [ ann0314 ]
And Putin especially is very into psychological and online warfare so anything he can do to direct things or push them online to where he wants them to be is what he will do. So in this case if he wants to try to move our government away from funding Ukraine - then he would try to disrupt any who support Ukraine and financially support those who don't or help push our voters in that direction. 😦

The real answer to that question is 'the same way federal spending always gets paid for. Congress passes a spending bill & new money is created by the Fed.' But people won't get that. So the tax the rich & social savings answers are probably best. If you encounter a "but the National Debt!" person, say 'we've had a national debt for over 50 years. So does every other major country on earth. Japan's debt is higher (relative to GDP) than ours. The sky isn't falling. That spending goes into the economy & supports everybody.' If you think a person can be red-pilled & #learnMMT , show them Stephanie Kelton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FATQ0Yf0Fhc&t=681s&pp=ygUZdGVkIHRhbGsgc3RlcGhhbmllIGtlbHRvbg%3D%3D

They just started this and it was announced across the state. It will more likely be used by younger residents than older ones. That said, they were vague in their initial releases about this and there is all ready misinformation going around that you can use this "Apple Wallet ID" for voting when you actually cannot. If you know anyone from Ohio, tell them to make sure they take their regular ID to vote. I can see using this as a way to invalidate your "ID" and then say you cannot vote 😦

The source of all the creepy weirdos' blather, as they aren't capable of original thought, is Fox News. I turned it on last night. They are doing everything possible to scare the crap out of everyone. They say Dems are trying to enslave everyone. In court, they've been adjudged and admitted to lying on air, but the Magats consume their filth and poison hungrily and have really lost their minds. Be scared. Trump wouldn't be a speck on the political radar without Fox News. They are the most watched news network in the US. Without Fox we wouldn't be concerned about fascism now. They enable and mobilize the morons and misfits.

The main thing is that his legal obligations prevent him from campaigning a lot already and the amount of money he’s lost just from defending himself in court is massive. It all depends on how quickly this would get to a jury

It's not very accurate. It shows me as not eligible which is not true. The first time they ever discounted my vote was an election last year where it showed I was registered to the right address on the Texas registration check online but their system did not in person. So they made me vote provisional, then sent a letter discounting my vote. I was pretty upset. But I moved to Maine and I'm registered here now so hopefully no more issues w/ that. Just something to be aware of.

I do it's necessary to point out any untruth Trump says, as well as abnormal behavior such as name-calling and insults. And if he does it on a daily basis in news cycle, then we need to point that out. MSM often does not anymore. His behavior has become normalised.

To appeal to older Republican voters as a Democrat, focus on shared values and common ground. Emphasize traditional principles like fiscal responsibility and national security, and highlight your commitment to preserving social programs that benefit seniors, such as Medicare and Social Security. Address concerns about government overreach with promises of efficient, accountable governance. By demonstrating respect for their values and showing a willingness to work across party lines, you can build trust and potentially gain their support.

It is important to note, Trump did say he wouldn't enforce the Comstock act. He also lied more than 30,000 times while in office. So, take this all as you will.

There's that, for starters. But for the sake of argument, let's imagine he's being truthful in this instance. That's still a big difference from 'I will sign into law a bill that guarantees a woman's right to control her own body and her own healthcare choices, including an abortion.' Simply vetoing a national ban leaves state bans in place. That's just not good enough because the rights of women in Florida, Arkansas, and Arizona, for example, should matter just as much as the rights of women in states which at the moment still affirm these rights.

The reason this is coming up is specifically because the left is saying he’d create a national abortion ban, which is a lie if he’s being truthful. He’s not denying that state bans will remain in place, for some reason he’s openly proud of that

I understand. That's why I tried to point to the policy difference as opposed to the feeling of concern that he might do the thing he says he won't.

New post by Adam Kinzinger about giving his DNC speech. Maybe worth sharing with Republicans you know who are on the fence and who need another nudge w.r.t. considering Harris/Walz for their vote. "I would have been proud to speak at the Republican convention this year. If invited, I would have spoken on the same themes: respect for the Constitution, the precariousness of democracy, the indispensability of the rule of law—all of which I learned from the Reagan-era Republican party I joined. If the Republicans aren’t interested in that message and the Democrats are, I figure it says more about them than about me." https://www.thebulwark.com/p/how-it-felt-to-address-the-democratic-convention-as-a-republican

I am still sorting out where to talk about what. Is this the place to ask if we have a meme - or if one can be created - that shows Trump on one side and VP Harris on the other? Underneath would be to the left Their Heroes (Heroines) and show under VP Harris Teachers, Mothers, Firefighters, Football Coaches and under Trump Putin, Kim Jong Un, Hannibal Lecter. There could be other lines like Who They Spend Time With ...Her: Family, old HS and College friends Him: Epstein, etc. Thanks.

I am beyond thrilled about this upcoming election because I truly believe that we have exceptional candidates running for president and vice president. As someone who comes from a culture where women are often marginalized and underestimated, this election holds a special significance for me. It represents a chance for us to show the world that females are capable and deserving of leadership roles. This election is not just about choosing our next leaders; it is about paving the way for global women empowerment. It is about proving that when we come together and fight for what we believe in, we can achieve anything. This election is a symbol of hope and progress, a chance for us to finally break free from the chains of sexism and discrimination. For me, this election is deeply personal. It is about more than just politics; it is about healing and restoration. It is about finally seeing the prayers of generations of women come true. It is about believing in ourselves and our abilities, and showing the world what we are truly capable of. This election is a turning point, a chance for us to make history and create a better future for all women, not just in our country, but around the world. It is a chance for us to stand up and say, "We can, and we will." This election is about empowerment, equality, and the belief that together, we can achieve great things.

I was wondering if there was a video archive or playlist of Trump and Kamala videos that show their stance on important issues. For example, if I am speaking with a Trump supporter that is not aware of what Trump has said about the constitution, I could share a video of that. Is there something like that? I think it would be a really helpful resource to help get clarity and facts around important issues.

The letter those GOP folks wrote states: "moderate Republicans and conservative independents in key swing states ... ultimately delivered the presidency to Joe Biden." I wasn't able to quickly find a source with data to validate that claim, but assuming it's true then yeah for sure, some kind of purple wave outreach concept would be cool. I know purple = royalty but a quick look at search results shows that it also represents wisdom. And the idea of wisdom seems to resonate with more conservative people—"common sense" is a term I've seen them use/relate to, along with "restraint." Voting for calm, steady, stable people would seem to be the conservative choice--and only Harris/Walz offers that.

I've been working with Betos powered by people campaign and the number of people that don't know you have to reregister with your new address after you move is MIND BOGGLING so they're basically shotgunning voter registration forms to anyone that's not registered or it looks questionable (ie. you're registered but your address doesn't match)

I was one of them and my vote did not count, despite the TX website saying I was registered to the correct address. It's voter disenfranchisement and gets me fired up. My vote did not count, for absolutely zero reason. I voted provisional, they sent a letter saying it did not count. Nuts. (I'm no longer in TX so I'm good now in ME but just FYI, this is very real)

I did check mine. On the SOS site it showed me as active registered at correct address. When I went to vote in a recent election (not presidential), they said I wasn't in the computer system the polling site uses. They had me vote provisional. Got a letter later saying I was "ineligible" to vote with no explanation and my vote didn't count. Told me to contact SOS. I moved to Maine instead. I'm a native-born Texan who spent my entire life there minus a couple years out of state long ago. I did everything right. This never happened in 50ish years of my life (30 voting). I did, however, register democrat the year before I believe. So just my single anecdote, but it is all true.

In a turn of events that surprised no one, a Republican group wants to dredge up the 1857 Dred Scott v Sanford ruling that held that the constitution did not extend citizenship to black Americans and therefore they could not enjoy the rights and privileges of the constitution. The subheadline also mentions that they also are attacking Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy with this suit. According to Wikipedia, current US senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are part of this group, along with many former members of state and federal government. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kamala-harris-president-supreme-court-b2601364.html

In Texas, voter registration becomes active 30 days AFTER the form is RECIEVED by the county election office. So for this election, registration must be RECIEVED by October 7th in order for it to be effective in time for this election. There is NO ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION IN TEXAS

replying to 2024-08-26T20:52:19.22+00:00 by Noelle (IN) In a turn of events that surprised no one, a Republican group wants to dredge up the 1857 Dred Scott v Sanford ruling that held that the constitution did not extend citizenship to black Americans and therefore they could not enjoy the rights and privileges of the constitution. The subheadline also mentions that they also are attacking Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy with this suit. According to Wikipedia, current US senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are part of this group, along with many former members of state and federal government. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kamala-harris-president-supreme-court-b2601364.html

You are entitled to your opinion. I have yet to see a religious text that treated women as human beings nm as liberating. Note I said text, not religion. Whatever anyone does with a book is entirely based on their value system, and as far as I am concerned that is the major problem. Mind you the vast majority of what we are fighting in the race is religious based views, that are not unsupported by the related text either.

I don’t think it’s wise to point to the worst, most toxic examples of something and say that represents the whole. Especially when some of the people we want to and can win over are religious. One of my best friends in college was a senior who had been a a catholic priest but left the church in the 1970s because he was gay and wanted to be out. This was in Nebraska mind you. But he never left religion and opened the Omaha chapter of Metropolitan Community Church of Christ. Which was and remains an LGBTQ+ friendly church. He also took the pulpit for the Omaha chapter of Unity Church and was later in the 2000s recognized as ‘the grandfather of gay liberation in Nebraska’. He never stopped being religious, though later in life his religion was kind of a mix of Christianity and Buddhism. We could point to a number of other Christian denominations that are definitely progressive and accepting. We can also point to non-Christian examples.

What drives me absolutely crazy about these types is they were the same ones trying to tell everyone Roe would never fall, it will never be an issue, blah blah blah. Feminists were raising the issue of it not being codified for decades, knowing where that would lead to, and they were dismissed by men everywhere, and look where we are. Now that women have been forced to the ballot box, not only for themselves but also for other people to have access to abortion, he's mad at US for the GOP losing voters?? You said something similar later in this convo, about how he actually has to compete because his views aren't appealing, but maybe his party should've kept their promises to us about Roe instead of the "Christian nationalists" and he wouldn't be losing.

Texas has been inching more purple for the last several election cycles, and now Harris is polling within 5 pts with a statistical TIE (2pts) for Allred's campaign to beat out Ted Cruz. It's an exciting time for Texas Dems!

RFK’s support in the swing states where he remains on the ballot will likely go down due to his endorsement of trump

Heres a fun fact about the states election board: The commission is made up of six members, two of which are appointed by the governor, and one each by the Senate majority leader, the Senate minority leader, the speaker of the Assembly, and the Assembly minority leader. The system is designed so that Republicans and Democrats each have three appointees on the commission.

Democratic Convention projects Kamala Harris in the polls, increasing her lead over Donald Trump The Convention is over, but Harris' honeymoon is not: the Democratic candidate continues to rise in the polls. Even when Trump wins key states, Harris' rise is remarkable.

Meanwhile Trump and Vance did a join interview on Fox the first day of the RNC. To me Fox News is not MSM. Lastly, as some who not Democrat but supporting Harris we need to fight back against the lies and show the receipts of the double standards. Also, Trump needs to be fact checked during the debate media period.

Good morning fellow voters. Please make sure you know if your state has a ballot measure coming up: https://ballotpedia.org/2024_ballot_measures
2024-08-28T14:44:30.074+00:00 by Catarina Teixeira [ catateix23 ]
"Find out who's winning and who's losing ground in the latest opinion polls on the US presidential election. On November 5, American citizens will go to the polls to choose their next president, in a race that has been tense and dramatic. In late July, current US President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election after weeks of pressure following a disastrous debate performance and growing questions about his health. Biden endorsed his vice president, setting the stage for a showdown between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The Democratic National Convention, held in Chicago last week, confirmed Harris' nomination and that of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her choice for vice president. The two are now locked in a bitter confrontation with Trump and his vice presidential pick, JD Vance. Who is ahead and who is predicted to win? According to the latest national polls and historical data on Biden and Trump collected by Euronews, trends indicate a recent increase in support for Harris, with just over two months left for both candidates to campaign and increase voter support, especially in key US states."
2024-08-28T14:44:45.317+00:00 by Catarina Teixeira [ catateix23 ]
"The graphs illustrate the evolution of the poll margin throughout the campaigns of candidates Biden vs Trump and Harris vs Trump. Since Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, Harris has managed to regain ground lost by Democrats."
2024-08-28T14:45:04.479+00:00 by Catarina Teixeira [ catateix23 ]
"In August, Harris began leading polls for the first time in the race, despite some analysts believing that the assassination attempt on the former president in mid-July meant her election was all but assured. Harris's standing has improved further after her supporters embraced Walz, who was initially seen as a surprise pick and a relative unknown."
2024-08-28T14:45:22.403+00:00 by Catarina Teixeira [ catateix23 ]
"Meanwhile, Trump's campaign has come under heavy criticism for its conservative views and those of its supporters, including Project 2025, a far-right plan that some see as a direct threat to Washington's government and its democratic checks and balances. JD Vance has also been the target of criticism following his less than impressive public appearances."

Ah, that speech ^^ is really good -- talks about proposed policies a lot, sincerely and directly. Addresses the audience a lot as "you." Tells them to pay attention to actions, not words. Respects the audience's intelligence and that they might be conservative but still have common sense. He even uses "common sense" to describe the Harris/Walz platform, reclaiming that phrase back from the GOP. Legend.

He is good! This differs quite a bit from the earlier stump speeches I saw. They were also good, I'm just praising that he can multiple different speeches to different crowds - all coherent with the central theme, mind you.

This is a thing people forget about carter vs Reagan, that it did seem close until it wasn’t- I think a lot of peoples decisions can change as proximity to the election makes them consider the implications of each candidate in more detail

Capital gains were taxed during the new deal and great society eras and the stock market did not crash and in fact the economy steadily grew until it ran into issues from oil prices and Vietnam unrelated to capital gains

I’d also say that capital gains were taxed starting with fdr and only stopped being taxed in the late 70s, and the us didn’t see constant stock market fluctuations then. Granted there might be some growing pains but it would settle into the new equilibrium pretty quickly

Agreed! This is not exactly an "innovation" and the sky is not falling. The pendulum has been swinging one way for a while. Harris simply wants it to start swinging the other way.

Oh actually slight correction, capital gains taxes were raised a good deal under LBJ before being cut under carter, but the stock market didn’t fluctuate with LBJ either

The proposed tax on unrealized capital gains applies only to individuals with at least $100 million in wealth who do not pay at least a 25% tax rate on their income (inclusive of unrealized capital gains). Payments can be spread out over subsequent years. Within that $100 million club, you'd only pay taxes on unrealized capital gains if at least 80% of your wealth is in tradeable assets (i.e., not shares of private startups or real estate). One caveat for this illiquid group is that there would be a deferred tax of up to 10% on unrealized capital gains upon exit. https://www.axios.com/2024/08/23/kamala-harris-unrealized-capital-gains-tax

7,425 dollars for a dinner at Maralago is diabolical. HE would have to pay ME a lot more than that to make me go to his house lmao

I was watching Morning Joe this morning and MSNBC analyst Elise Jordan suggested that VP Harris should do interviews with local news stations. Does anyone else think that would resonate with voters? If I saw her on my local channel with my local folks asking questions, I would be impressed.

I know that polls-are-just-polls, but the details out today from USA TODAY's most recent are just.... wow!! The general election polling puts Harris +5% over Trump nationally -- great news in itself -- but just look at the eye-popping shifts in the demographic breakdowns: "— Voters 18 to 34 years old moved from supporting Trump by 11 points to supporting Harris by 13 points, **49%-36% over Trump** —Black voters, traditionally one of the most overwhelmingly Democratic groups, moved from supporting Biden by 47 points to supporting Harris by 64 points, **76%-12%**. —Hispanics, a group the Republican campaign has been cultivating, moved from supporting Trump by 2 points to supporting Harris by 16 points, **53%-37%**.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/29/kamala-harris-donald-trump-suffolk-usa-today-poll-results/74984967007/

It's probably another money laundering op. There are no restrictions on who can buy books, right? Also, front groups buy huge quantities of these books to amp up the ratings. I recall a report regarding a that the RNC had actually purchased a massive amount of books to distribute. So could also be a way to use campaign funds to flow to the candidate for personal use. I can't verify that, however. Here's an article that discusses this activity: https://newrepublic.com/article/123156/why-did-ted-cruz-spend-122000-his-own-books

Minor positive: I appreciated this article's section on the importance of using politics to uplift people, rather than solely inflict pain and spread votes by alarming people. It's easy to forget that sometimes we can attract voters by emphasizing the good our candidates do or have done rather than just saying the goal is to beat Trump. If you're ever looking for stuff like that to share with friends on social media, there's tons of resources on the REACH App's library section to share with others about Harris/Walz/Biden accomplishments too!

Personally I’d also emphasize the difference with the trump campaign- while Harris has supported a ceasefire even though she hasn’t called for conditions on weapons to Israel, trump has explicitly said (at the debate vs Biden for example) that he would support Israel unconditionally, does not support a ceasefire, and supports letting them do whatever they want with Gaza. While Harris isn’t where I’d want her to be there’s a clear difference between her and trump on the issue in a way that would have a serious impact on the lives of Palestinians

So there is now a divergence between Nate Silver’s model and the 538 model. Silver today has Trump with a 52% chance to win versus 538 who has Harris with a 59% chance to win. I think this is a good reminder that we can’t take anything for granted despite all of the encouraging polling we’ve seen over the past few weeks. Have to fight for it!

Many of us are volunteering precisely because of 'T****' being a threat to democracy. Our fellow voters may not have a big issue with that; those that do ... are already in our camp. When we talk to voters, we need to show them that Harris/Walz will be a better answer for the issues they are concerned about. Don't mention "T****" or "M***" at all ... it drives DJT crazy when we don't talk about him.

That sounds good, but I posted a meme about Afghanistan detailing all the things that I called the Trump administration did and not Biden. I also included 2 sources that they could use to fact check and said these are facts. The response I got? "Not facts." Nothing else.

I hear you. I've taken to saying I'm playing whack-a-mole when my wife asks what I'm doing. I seem to have friends/groups that are either already convinced Kamala and Tim are the only choice and the always Trumpers. Mostly I am frustrated that my posts get no response, not even likes or angry emojis. It's like either nobody is seeing them or everybody is afraid to post - or I'm just not being effective somehow.

My take is that T isn’t losing any support at this point. But he isn’t gaining any, either. Our opportunity is to convince those on the fence, and to expand the voter base (see new voter registration) above. I’m sure folks at HQ know this, but I have to remind myself of the strategy.

I don’t remember all of them, but one of them effectively makes it so that the Georgia board of elections can conduct an investigation for any reason. And they could use this to delay the certification of Georgia’s electoral votes to after the deadline, which would cause the election to go to the house of reps where trump would win if it comes down to one state like that

The point being made is that if the Georgia electoral votes aren’t certified before the safe harbor date, they don’t count.
2024-08-29T19:50:12.847+00:00 by Jake Henderson (NJ-2) [MOD] [ i_am_anxious02 ]

2024-08-29T19:51:51.685+00:00 by Jake Henderson (NJ-2) [MOD] [ i_am_anxious02 ]
So the point being made is of Kamala wins Georgia and that gets her above or at 270 by a thin margin, the Georgia election board will just stall until after the safe harbor date and neither candidate will have a majority

2024-08-29T20:01:33.553+00:00 by Jake Henderson (NJ-2) [MOD] [ i_am_anxious02 ]
And in the event of that happening, there is nothing to certify, so I think the votes don’t count? All the acts state is “they have to certify by the safe harbor date,” not “this is what happens otherwise”

replying to 2024-08-29T19:47:13.471+00:00 by Jake Henderson (NJ-2) [MOD] I don’t remember all of them, but one of them effectively makes it so that the Georgia board of elections can conduct an investigation for any reason. And they could use this to delay the certification of Georgia’s electoral votes to after the deadline, which would cause the election to go to the house of reps where trump would win if it comes down to one state like that
Another GA rule: ANYONE can challenge vote of MANY voters at once. Not all challenges hold up, but it's easy to cast a wide net to maybe catch someone who, say didn't update their address after moving. ANd then casting doubt on the entire election

That may be true, but the laws do say that any lawsuits by a candidate is immediatly heard by a court of appeals. This wont be a repeat of 2020 with the +60 lawsuits

An action brought by an aggrieved candidate for president or vice president is guaranteed an expedited review. According to the law, the venue for such an action shall be the United States district court of the federal judicial district where the state capital is located. The action shall be heard by a three-judge judicial panel consisting of two circuit court of appeals judges and one district court judge. The court shall expedite the disposition of the action, in accordance with deadlines established by the law. Any appeal from the court's judgment may be heard directly by the Supreme Court on an expedited basis, and the court's final order on remand must occur at the latest on the day before the electors' meeting.

it's a heartbreaking situation, and it's especially difficult when the state department and current administration can't give us more news than 'we're working night and day on it.' As individuals, there are many things we can actually do to support victims of war and terror worldwide. Voting for Trump ain't one of them. Neither is giving away your vote when you live in a swing state.

replying to 2024-08-29T23:14:33.984+00:00 by Megan Marie Sullivan, Chicago IL it's a heartbreaking situation, and it's especially difficult when the state department and current administration can't give us more news than 'we're working night and day on it.' As individuals, there are many things we can actually do to support victims of war and terror worldwide. Voting for Trump ain't one of them. Neither is giving away your vote when you live in a swing state.
Yeah I mean obviously Trump is worse on literally every other issue. But I’m just having a hard time convincing them that there’s any meaningful difference in this one.

There totally is, though- Israel can’t invade the West Bank because it already occupies the West Bank. What it’s currently doing is a crackdown. The issue is will they formally annex the West Bank or continue the status quo. Trump will give them a green light to do that. Bidens honestly been a lot better on the West Bank than on Gaza (low bar) because he’s imposed some sanctions on settlers

They’ve occupied the West Bank since 1967, so while what they’re doing right now is awful, it’s not much of a change from the status quo, unlike in Gaza where they’re making a play for permanent occupation leading to annexation (which trump will allow)

In a way, Israel has already de jure annexed the West Bank, if you believe that transferring it from military to civilian administration fits that definition (its not military occupation if its not under military control). https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/06/08/israel-palestine-west-bank-annexation-netanyahu-smotrich-far-right/

Quick note about our community guidelines. Our Community Guidelines unite us with a shared commitment to elect VP Kamala Harris to the US presidency. Our vision is to create a positive welcoming space for everyone. Pumping each other up & creating a groundswell movement of hope. We avoid debating & falling into negative rabbit holes.

If you look at the MAGA comments, it looks like they decided on a strategy of moving the goalposts of the interview that it wasn't "good enough" on several axes: 1) not long enough 2) not a live interview 3) questions were softball 4) the interview was "staged" and "fake" 5) they "didn't answer the questions" 6) They had notes. These are all pretty pathetic (I don't think any even require a response unless they somehow gain traction), which to me indicates they both did a great job. There's also a smattering of random lies and misinfo that I encourage everyone to report as such.

Final point I'll make is that 6) "They had notes" is reaaaaally wild levels of attempting to gaslight people since you can literally see the table she's looking at and there are... obviously no notes.

The interview is just a case-in-point of how worthless ‘the media’ is. In the end, nothing was said that hasn’t already been communicated directly to voters. With Walz, inordinate time was spent re-litigating questions from his 2006 Congressional campaign that the national public has already moved on from as told by how little it still gets talked about on social media. And Bash spent a lot of time trying to play ‘gotcha’ while asking worthless and, frankly, idiotic questions with almost 0 political context, e.g. ‘you were VP for 3+ years! Why didn’t *you* put on a Captain Marvel suit and solve *the problems*!’ Hmmm geee… let’s think about that one… But there is basically 0 acknowledgment of scorched earth obstructionism from Republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court — and somehow the Biden/Harris admin still signing a historic amount of legislation. Kamala did great. Outstanding. ‘The media’ gets an F, imho, for acting entitled to the role of ‘arbiters of public discourse’ without actually rising to the occasion. There. Nuff of that. Time to check my schedule and sign up for some shifts

This is a **big tent** which includes individuals with different opinions. We are here because we believe Kamala Harris will be great president, and we will focus on that shared belief instead of debating other's opinions. We are in this together. Let's be united in our common goal and work to get Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the White House.

I am all out for Harris/Walz which is why I'm concerned about last night's interview. I was disappointed because they both dodged several questions the same way Trump does. The interviewer had to ask the same question several times because it wasn’t answered the first time. And Harris talked about helping the middle class just as Trump does. We need specific differentiation between her idea of helping the middle class & his. Imagine undecided independents trying to figure out whether Harris or Trump is more sincere when they communicate in the same way (not answering direct questions) & say they are for the same thing (improving the economy & helping the middle class).

Just off the top of my head: 1) Reauthorizing child tax credit (which she said in the interview) 2) building 3million houses so they're more affordable 3) reducing the max price of insulin for everyone (instead of just seniors, which they've already done). Trump has: eliminate taxes on tips, which under his implementation would also help millionaires and billionaires evade taxes even more easily. Harris/Walz proposed to do this same thing but remove the loophole. Trump also has no plan to pay for any of his proposals. Kamala does: tax the rich (who have more than $100million in assets) on unrealized capital gains.

I am not Arab or Muslim. I have great empathy for the people in Gaza who had nothing to do with Hamas' Oct 7th Raid. Harris is campaigning on bringing people together and governing all Americans under the laws predicated by the constitution. The Trump Era is over - that is - the era of "I can't have a conversation with those people." The Era of Empathy and Action is here. That is: "I hear your pain. What are we going to thrive in the face of all these problems together now?" For one I want to defend the constitution in this country as the protection of freedoms it has been and, if Harris is elected can continue to be, for so so many human beings. I will look for at least one Palestinian American to talk too about their concerns in this election and encourage them to consider what Ms. Harris is actually saying versus what the press says she is saying. Let's model dialog between humans again!

it is true that you do have some socially conservative muslim voters that did vote r (and actually arab-americans were a mostly republican voting bloc prior to 9/11 and the bush administration alienating them) but frankly those are definitely a minority and arab-americans generally have3 been part of the coalition for a while

Shared this on a Mastodon ( https://mastodon.social/@kzeta/113051574293456704 ) – One of the things I have always loved about Kamala Harris is her pragmatism and focus on solving problems and getting s*** done.

replying to 2024-08-30T13:24:55.65+00:00 by Leslie_UXD I am all out for Harris/Walz which is why I'm concerned about last night's interview. I was disappointed because they both dodged several questions the same way Trump does. The interviewer had to ask the same question several times because it wasn’t answered the first time. And Harris talked about helping the middle class just as Trump does. We need specific differentiation between her idea of helping the middle class & his. Imagine undecided independents trying to figure out whether Harris or Trump is more sincere when they communicate in the same way (not answering direct questions) & say they are for the same thing (improving the economy & helping the middle class).
Leslie - I would encourage reading a transcript of the interview it is available on CNN. She answered questions with details and then Bash would respond with some summary statement like "So you maintain that Bidenomics is a success." Harris responded skillfully to that with details of one example of capping the costs of prescription drugs for seniors. I encourage you to read the transcript of the interview. One questions she did dodge was how she felt about Trump's comment on her race. As a white woman - I am ready to move beyond this kind of identity politics as well. Thank you Harris and Walz for sticking to the substance. This is a ticket of integrity!

2024-08-30T15:26:52.5+00:00 by Ruthie R [ ruthieforkamala ]
Thank you! And I think it is important to state - as others have here - that there was also a lot of substance and details in this interview. Maybe a more effective response to Leslie's comment would have been for me to say something like: in response to your concerns about how Harris responded to questions about supporting the middle class, I know for me, an important one was the 25K tax credit on first-time home ownership. When I bought my first home we had something similar, a federal tax credit on home loan interest. When Trump ended that federal tax credit that hit my bottom line on owning a home! She included other details as well. Extending a tax credit to the first year of a child's life. And dealing with capping drug prices. And she included to context of our nation recovered economically faster that other countries post pandemic. As a family in the middle class I know that is true. We benefitted from stimulus checks and weathered that crisis but as a result had to change the kind of cheese we bought. Inflation is coming down now.

Also, can we just all agree that giving a nuanced answer instead of a direct one is actually not dodging? And that actually dodging (which I'm skeptical even happened in this interview but w/e) a question is about 20x morally superior to lying in response to one?

This probably sounds insane, but I've seen this in sales. A lot of the time, people just want to hear the candidate they like say the thing they want to hear. And personally, I think 🍊 doesn't dodge a question so much as tip over, fall out of his chair, and roll into a surprise muckpit.

This is about Trump's Town Hall with Tulsi Gabbard yesterday: The fact that Trump gets a pass on his 2.5min plus rambling nonsense on inflation where his answer (if we're being charitable) was essentially "drill more oil, it will magically solve all problems like interest rates" is actually baffling to me. Trying to transcribe his rambling just leads to thirty-sentence-fragment long paragraphs. (I just tried)

Yea, an outright ban would create a lot more immediate chaos that she likely wouldn’t want to see happen. I think her response was pragmatic in the sense that she sees a better path forward through the obsolescence of fracking as a long term goal.

My favorite part was Walz mentioning his son, because that was so nasty of the MAGAs to mock a kid, and for just being proud of his dad

This was an interesting tidbit from the CSM article above: “A recent Wall Street Journal poll found that 84% of voters say they have enough information about Ms. Harris’ policy positions and career to form a firm opinion.” Certainly puts one of the Republican/MSM talking points of the the past week into a different light, e.g. ‘We don’t know her policies! What are her policies! Policies! Policies! Give us policies!’ Cause… ya know… the mainstream political press is always so substantive and likes detailed and thoughtful convos about public policy. Yup. Yup. And also always has such a good pulse on the thoughts of regular people. Riiiight.

I listen to a debate channel on YT several nights a week. Yes, it is a topic that is frequently brought up and used against her negatively. They blame her for far too many things and never seem to see the good side of the things she has done. It is absolutely a talking point used against her as silly as it sounds. We all know the truth, they do not. I agree, it is a laughable matter.

If it's true this is Tim's brother and he's a Trump supporter, it wouldn't be shocking that he'd take issues with human rights values so not really surprising and doubt anyone taking this election seriously will be swayed. Don't so many of us have fractured relationships with family/friends since 2016? Just seems a lot like that.

Does anyone know why the campaign picked CNN and why it wasn't a live interview? CNN's reputation and reporting is terrible.

If you have Harris/Walz-supporting friends or family in Nebraska (or are in NE already), you might let them know that this Senate seat (Deb Fischer) is polling at a tie after five polls. Fischer's opponent, Dan Osborn, is an independent who's "a U.S. Navy veteran, steamfitter, industrial mechanic, labor union leader" and who's even led a strike. His platform aligns with Harris/Walz's so he'd be a likely +1 for the admin to enact their agenda. https://www.newsweek.com/nebraska-senator-deb-fischer-worrying-sign-independent-dan-osborn-poll-1947273

More polls (and of course, votes > polls): "In an ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted from August 23 to 27, **24 percent of Republicans have a positive view of Harris' campaign**, while 93 percent of Democrats and 56 percent of independents rate the Democratic presidential nominee's campaign positively. Meanwhile, 79 percent of Republicans have a positive view of Trump's campaign. The Republican presidential nominee's campaign was also rated positively by 38 percent of independents and 13 percent of Democrats." https://www.newsweek.com/quarter-republicans-view-kamala-harris-campaign-positively-poll-1947231

Question. How are we addressing the lack of response/complete ignoring of the questions about hostages when Walz was asked? I have Jewish friends that are very upset about that, and I can understand it. With Trump bragging that he is supporting Israel, it really just isn't a good look for the response from Walz to be walking away, imo. I know we are full of joy to have great candidates, and I hope To shed light on these issues that may be very significant to some voters, especially Jewish voters.

replying to 2024-09-02T01:48:30.074+00:00 by Brit Question. How are we addressing the lack of response/complete ignoring of the questions about hostages when Walz was asked? I have Jewish friends that are very upset about that, and I can understand it. With Trump bragging that he is supporting Israel, it really just isn't a good look for the response from Walz to be walking away, imo. I know we are full of joy to have great candidates, and I hope To shed light on these issues that may be very significant to some voters, especially Jewish voters.
imo the campaign has been very clear about its commitment to freeing the hostages and the biden administration has been trying to make that happen. its unclear to me what anyone would want walz to say that has not already been said, and i think that theres not much the campaign can or should say to win over people who would be swayed by trump's wholehearted endorsement of israeli war crimes
2024-09-02T01:53:57.099+00:00 by Brit [ bucket007 ]
And he just turned and walked away

He could’ve at least said “I am in full support of a hostage deal, we’ve said this multiple times” or something

I fully agree, but I'm not Jewish and others who are Jewish were very hurt by his turning around and ignoring the question.

i think the vast majority of liberal jews agree with the campaign's stance that the hostages have to return and israel's existence needs to be defended but that palestinians are people too and the gaza war needs to end because it's devastating gaza
2024-09-02T01:59:10.83+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
plenty of jews dont agree with that sadly, but most of them i think were leaning towards trump already

Heh not in my family. Even amongst my extended family, my aunts and uncle are way more pro-Israel than my mom and I are. Though my uncle hates Netanyahu. My Dad recently decided to become more in favor of Israel’s right to defend itself. That was a fun discussion 🙄

there were some people who were angered by her implicit criticism of israel's methods in gaza, but yeah- on this issue you're not going to be able to craft an answer that will make everyone happy, and in my experience what she said was acceptable to most liberal jews

something ive found helpful as someone who is to the left of most of my family on the issue of israel is framing things as what's actually best for israel's security- trump wants to give the israeli right wing a blank cheque to pursue their aims, but that won't help bring about peace between israelis and palestinians, it will just ensure that the cycle of hatred goes on for another generation. the best way to ensure the safety of everyone in israel is to make a peace agreement that respects the rights of both israelis and palestinians- that's the only way that there will never be any more israeli victims or palestinian victims of this conflict, and a peace deal and a permanent solution to this conflict is what harris wants to do

And that must be so tough, but I could see how the campaign team could tell Walz that he can't talk about this in any way shape or form outside of an official press event.
2024-09-02T02:23:57.122+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
yeah, and in terms of why he walked away- sure, he could have given a basic response, but then the reporter could have followed up and put him in a more compromising position with a gotcha question

Hi Brit! We are waiting on the campaign to release official statements, which will hopefully come very soon. As many have shared, it's complicated since it's not only up to a President (any of them) but Congress, international law and treaties, etc. So we need official statements so we word it correctly.
2024-09-02T02:26:25.989+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
also remember that literally right now negotiations over a ceasefire deal are at their make or break climax- if there was ever a time to avoid saying absolutely anything that might undermine them its right now

Hi Brit - the concerns of voters are completely valid, and I agree that it is a serious topic that can be very personal for many voters. I would suggest that you write directly to the DNC itself at https://democrats.org/contact-us/ regarding concerns, including policy/platform issues. Like Ophelia said above, it is an extremely complicated topic and we are waiting to hear official statements from the Harris-Walz campaign. In the meantime, we just want to remain positive and keep on encouraging volunteers to keep up the great work that they’ve been doing so that we can win in November. 💙

<@502060435952893954> We get that and there are definitely conversations happening at the staff level on how to best support all of us who are volunteering and trying to support Harris and navigate the complexity of these issues. But our role here with the virtual office is to support the campaign, amplify campaign messaging, and keep the positive energy going through this process. Discussing these difficult talking points without platform insight quickly turns into sharing our opinions on the matter which becomes a slippery slope into debate, which is against our community guidelines. Thanks for sticking with us, we couldn't do this without all of our amazing volunteers!

This is definitely an interesting perspective! Definitely unfortunate that it sounds politician-y. Here's my perspective: I say phrases like this to give myself time to focus. I think it'd be pretty hard to change, since it's likely a deeply developed habit. The reminder to herself to be careful with her words is likely objectively good for improving precision.

Happy to see that @kamalahq has now reached 4 mill followers on TikTok, and @kamalaharris just passed 5 mill followers. The former account uses humor and pop culture references to get across important issues/policies. The latter shows KH's interactions with people at rallies and on the campaign trail, and shows off her personality and warmth.

Just a thought. We need to stop giving frump and fox free air time. Instead of passing around his atrocious behavior, interviews, today's scandal, etc. I've been passing around a positive post of Harris/Walz instead. If you promote 1 minute of frump, generate 10 minutes of positivity and Harris.

Yes, I am sick of hearing about DJT. About Fox: +1, though it's worth mentioning that Dems are starting to appear there more, to show Fox viewers that they are normal people with normal policies. That's a positive development, I think—much harder to face people who are hostile, and winning some of them over is how we win elections. "A Fox News spokesperson confirmed that the outlet has seen, even before the Democratic convention in Chicago, a 41% increase in Democrat guests, excluding strategists, in the year to August." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/sep/02/democrats-buttigieg-sanders-fox-news-appearances-election?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Yes!! I had already challenged myself to share *exciting* things to my social, esp after the infuriating voter suppression in TX and Arlington incident... Exciting news this week: 1-New voter numbers! Per TargetSmart on CBS News, compared to July 2020, young Black women have seen a 176% increase in new voter registration and young Latinas just behind at 150%! 🖤🤎🎉 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_R0XrBgJkA/?igsh=MWdlbzUwcTRrd2QxMw== 2- Per the Washington Post, your social media content and shares *do* matter! The 227 creators at the DNC made 7k posts... that generated almost 400 million impressions! 🤯 talk about reach!! https://www.instagram.com/p/C_QvjpWPAwG/?igsh=d2RjZWRkdTUzeTBv What are you excited about this week??

But what does this even mean? “Top Democrats said they're very worried that many activists feel like this is a 60-40 race when it's more 50-50.” 1. Who are “top democrats”? 2. Who do they mean by “many activists”? 3. And what exactly is the concern? Record breaking donations, large numbers of volunteers, surging new voter registrations, and infectious enthusiasm? Like… how should we be behaving? Like we were before Biden stepped out and we had poll after poll of being behind? Was *that* really motivating to anyone?

Hi Mike, taking my mod hat off for this and I can't speak for whoever was quoted in that article, but one of the concerns is that voters and volunteers get complacent: "Oh, I don't really need to go vote/volunteer, because we're going to win anyway" I am happy where I hear Kamala say we're the underdogs in this race. We've got to run through the tape!

Apologies for my delay in response to this. I wanted to reference the source material before commenting. It struck me as an off the record opine about a speculation about a poll.

Yeah, just like those bus-tour stops at the restaurants. Since they didn't pack 10,000 into a diner... They seem to be very consciously intermixing small intimate gatherings with the arena ones - which, from what I've seen, are still packed.

I'm looking forward to reposting and hopefully joining the text team soon. I was curious, with my background in marketing and advertising, whether the campaign will depict the potential scenarios that will occur if Project 2025 is fully implemented. The stories shared by the young women at the DNC were powerful, but I believe that a campaign illustrating the ripple effects on three families post-2025 would be incredibly impactful. Many people relate to 'The Handmaid's Tale,' which is aligned with the concept, but not many have seen it. Just a thought.

replying to 2024-09-02T20:21:01.119+00:00 by Katherine Perez (FL) I'm looking forward to reposting and hopefully joining the text team soon. I was curious, with my background in marketing and advertising, whether the campaign will depict the potential scenarios that will occur if Project 2025 is fully implemented. The stories shared by the young women at the DNC were powerful, but I believe that a campaign illustrating the ripple effects on three families post-2025 would be incredibly impactful. Many people relate to 'The Handmaid's Tale,' which is aligned with the concept, but not many have seen it. Just a thought.
This ad titled "State Line" from the Lincoln Project illustrates an implementation of Project 2025 wrt abortion laws. CNN did a piece on it where the Republican strategist was incredulous, but I found it pretty straightforwardly accurate other than the artistic license of being able to see what the person's navigation was set to. https://youtu.be/3FGIyxhGkvo?si=F52FYbxpEVL0F2A7

"Trump is facing charges in multiple jurisdictions and cases, including election interference in a criminal case filed in federal court in Washington. Last week, he was re-indicted to comply with directions from the Supreme Court, which in July ruled that Trump was immune from prosecution for “official acts.” On Sunday, however, Trump flat out said he had “every right” to have been “interfering” with the election.

A good reminder to donate and volunteer downballot where one can. Tester is in a close race to keep his Senate seat in Montana. We absolutely want to keep that. Somehow the Maryland Senate race has Alsobrooks at a tie against her GOP opponent. If we can keep Montana and Maryland, we still have elections in Minnesota and Wisconsin that have Dems ahead but within the margin of error. In term of playing offense: The last poll has us within 3% of Rick Scott in Florida. I know folks are a bit excited for Texas, but Allred is still more than 5% away from Cruz. Osborn is a pro-labor independent running in Nebraska. They are within 1% of Republican Deb Fischer. That race has a ton of undecideds atm. ‘Reasonable’ people expect they will mostly break for Fischer in the end. I’m not so sure. Anyway… worth considering helping make sure we have a Dem Senate majority to pass the legislation needed to realize Kamala’s opportunity economy 💪

Another reason that we fight and we win. Trump commuted the sentence of someone convicted of murdering a law enforcement officer and he was sentenced to jail for DV in July of this year. TW - DV. Subscription is requested here but not required to read the article. "In the waning days of Trump's presidency, Davidson eschewed the Office of the Pardon Attorney and sought relief directly from Trump. Davidson's attorney Betty Schein, had deep connections to the Trump White House. Schein and her husband, Alan Futerfas, represented people associated with the Trump Organization, including Donald Trump Jr." The prosecutor in Davidson's 1990 conviction, John Duncan, was never contacted and was dumbfounded by the decision. "If you ask me for a list of people who nobody should give a presidential commutation to,” Duncan told the New York Times in 2021, “Davidson would pretty much be at the top of the list.” The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment." https://popular.info/p/murderer-whose-life-sentence-was

The Senate race in Nebraska is getting more national press it seems in recent days. Please tell any Harris/Walz-supporting friends or family you know who live there that they should watch this race. Polls range from showing a tie to a 1/2% difference. Osborn's platform aligns with that of our candidates. We need friends in the Senate for H/W to be able to carry out their agenda. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/09/nebraska-senate-osborn-fischer-democrats-red-states.html cc <@626158792572141589>

I have literally nobody left in my NE network to activate. Family and friends are all in. I’m also highly amused that part of the reason the race became competitive is because the person running for that seat for the ‘Legalize Marijuana Now’ party ended her campaign about three weeks ago. The LMN party had been polling between 10-15%. Kerry Eddy ended her campaign because she ran in the LMN party’s primary pretty much so she could then end her campaign and support Osborn. She also used to be the singer in my band when I lived in Omaha 😆 I’m not at all surprised she did that and am glad she did 😎

Excellent. In the past, the DCCC was limiting money to those candidates that had a really good chance at winning. Even now, our South Jersey D2 candidate is getting resources. Please send some money and resources to Joe Salerno, we need to be rid of Jeff Van Drew.

i had figured it was a hype bubble from the beginning, in part because of the screenshot meme. ironically that meme encapsulates the primary issue with nfts; they don't really provide any tangible benefit, both to the 'owner' and in general. purchasing the nft doesn't necessarily give you the actual rights to the image you just purchased, and the image itself is a jpg file that can be freely downloaded and saved to anybody's phone/computer, plus if the collection is pulled for whatever reason you may even lose access to the website that allows you to view it.

Absolutely terrible. Kemp should focus on pressuring the legislature to pass gun control instead of only offering prayer. I do hope the survivors and victims families can pull through this. I hope the community can band together and help each other out in this time.

In doing texting today for state Dems, got a reply from a rural voter who feels surrounded and threatened by Trump supporters. Part of the reason is that Biden Harris and Walz never have events in the area. They feel like we have sacrificed their safety because we think there's not enough votes to be gained. Seems like our campaign is reinforcing the toxic urban -rural divide in the country. Is that what we want??

Walz in Western PA today. They have 16 offices in PA in deep red counties. Also, the having the Harris campaign is having a rally in NH which is a purple state.

NH is barely purple. Still useful to campaign there at least once like today but I think it’s safe to call NH a light blue state

This convo confuses me. If they believe that MAGA is literally a threat to their life, what is there even to discuss re:voting? How is having an event going to increase their safety? I have never lived in a place where I have felt or actually been surrounded by people I thought hated me so I am actually asking. The idea of "sacrificing their safety" by not having a rally is extremely puzzling. The rural/city divide thing is also bizarre to me but I don't have any specific questions there.

So the issue here is our claim about saving democracy. If we're only concerned about getting elected so bad people won't, then we don't need to deal with this voter. However , if saving democracy means protecting all voters then this voter is more important than I am. I think we should have an event (rally or townhall) within 100 miles of every voter in the country.

But how do rallies protect voters? Certainly voter protection in conservative areas as well as more investigations of right wing violence would be very good, I just don’t see how holding a rally there would help that situation

I can understand how seeing candidates visibly campaigning in those areas could help folks feel less isolated and alone. Let's remember that this is a place for friendly conversation and helping volunteers coordinate and get energized, not for debating.

Thanks. This came up in a state Dem campaign, where it's difficult to access DNC resources like that. Could the DNC send each state party a set of CR like this to add to the text campaigns? I think that would be very helpful.

Thanks so much Jack! This server is for coordinating volunteer efforts for the national campaign and we don't really coordinate with state parties here. That type of feedback would need to be sent via the form I linked above. I would also recommend reaching out to the organization you were working with to request more support on that level, as they would need to be the ones coordinating that.

This is a bit cynical but it’s wearing on me today
ive been thinking this too, i certainly look forwards to the day when we can go back to being opponents with them, because it means we'll have won. but tbh i think that day may be a long ways off, the republicans will be maga for the forseeable future

Yes! Complacency can be a campaign killer. Not that OP was suggesting complacency...we're all HERE, aren't we? :-). But to those not volunteering or being engaged, it's easy to see a poll like that and not realize the hard work that has gone in to making forward progress. So....let's keep moving those numbers higher and higher!

Washington CNN — Judge Tanya Chutkan has set a schedule in the federal election subversion case against former President Donald Trump that **will allow prosecutors to release never-before-seen evidence, such as grand jury transcripts, ahead of the presidential election**. The deadline for the filing from prosecutors is September 26, according to the latest order from the judge, which largely sides with special counsel Jack Smith’s proposed schedule discussed at Thursday’s hearing. Trump’s defense team had sought to delay the public release of evidence in the case until after the November election. This is the one of several filings the judge expects before voters head to the polls. She has not scheduled additional hearings or a trial date.

I wanna add onto this to underscore just how bad this is than just Trump and JD Vance. This plan would give Elon Musk significant executive power over our whole government, without a public vote by the people. My city, Tacoma WA, has had something similar called a “city manager” for a long time. We’re currently in the process of changing our whole form of government because of how unaccountable and powerful such a position can be. Don’t make our mistakes!

Our vision is to create a positive welcoming space for everyone. Pumping each other up & creating a groundswell movement of hope. We avoid debating & falling into negative rabbit holes. There’s lots of work to do. Let’s do something—together.

It honestly sucks that the emergence of Trump was actually the time when I started paying attention to politics a bit more. I remember when Obama was first inaugurated into office, I remember watching his inauguration in the auditorium of my elementary school - but never did I think that it would become *so* divided now.

I never thought it would become this divided either, and I think I naively believed everything would just keep getting better and better after Obama got elected and then re-elected. 2016 was so traumatizing, which is why I now know I can never be complacent about an election again
2024-09-06T22:44:07.387+00:00 by Kimmai • Mod [ kimmai ]
Exactly. I voted for Hillary in 2016 (that was actually my first presidential election to be voting in); but I underestimated the impact that Trump would have on more than 50% of Americans.

Same. The day after Hillary lost (I was in college at the time), my classes were completely quiet because we were just all in shock. I *really* don’t want a repeat of 2016. So I’m doing everything that I can to help ensure that 2016 doesn’t happen again. 💙

Who Are the Biggest Donors to Trump and Harris? In presidential politics, campaigns are powered by billionaires. Here is a look at the most influential givers. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/01/us/elections/democratic-republican-political-donors.html

Here is a look at the most influential givers. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/01/us/elections/democratic-republican-political-donors.html
Comparison of the Donors: Wealth and Influence: Trump’s donors tend to be more traditional, wealthy Republicans with personal or transactional ties to him, while Harris's donors are often from tech and arts sectors, focusing on collective and long-term political strategies. Engagement and Strategy: Trump’s major contributors have shown a willingness to take risks on unconventional candidates or strategies, whereas Harris’s donors seem to be consolidating around established Democratic frameworks and the broader party infrastructure. Demographic Trends: Trump's donor base includes a mix of old-money and newer, tech-driven wealth, while Harris's support is more concentrated among progressive and establishment figures, particularly following Biden's exit from the race. Summary Both campaigns harness significant financial resources from their respective donor bases, but the characteristics, motivations, and backgrounds of these donors reveal broader trends in American political fundraising and the evolving nature of party allegiance.

<@535131333010391050> Debunking DC statehood misconceptions: 1. Our capital shouldn't be a state—the current plan is to make the strip of land with all the government buildings (the WH, Capitol, etc) the actual capital, and then make the rest, which is just a regular city, into a state. 2. It's so tiny—well, it has more people than Wyoming. 😉 3.

Ok. Trump uses the word tariff, and so I hope voters understand that they are talking about the same thing. I’m glad that someone (perhaps you) in the other channel said that when they explain it to voters, they get it. I will start some bilingual phone banking today. I wonder how many folks I will get to talk to in Spanish, and how a conversation on that topic would go. Usually it just depends on who you are talking with.

I think for sure there’s an opportunity to link it directly- for example in the childcare answer trump gave the other day he seemed to be saying that childcare costs will be small compared to the money coming in from tariffs, so could def be made clear that he’s proposing these massive sales tax on imported goods

I agree. Including the words “on imported goods” should work. I was so lost with what he said about child care at that what I think was an economic forum event. The people listening looked lost too. Normally that would be a huge, huge fail and cause a person to crash and burn, but with Trump it was treated more as same old, same old. But the same old is getting worse everyday it seems. I hope people see that during the debate!

People who believe a conservative ideology believe in the fundamental justice of a "natural hierarchy". They believe that all of nature is hierarchical. Human beings at the very top of nature's hierarchy, therefor any violence we enact upon the environment is correct and justified.
2024-09-07T20:55:53.708+00:00 by Quajek [ quajek ]
They extend this belief in natural hierarchy into society. White Christian cishet Republican men are at the top of their preferred hierarchy, and therefore any violence by them enacted on everyone else is correct and justified
2024-09-07T20:56:20.75+00:00 by Quajek [ quajek ]

The conservative ideology is incompatible with empathy. They literally cannot imagine someone else having different experiences or emotions than them. This is demonstrated repeatedly throughout history, when we see conservatives who speak out for years on a subject, and then it happens to them and they completely change their position.

If they're not personally in a violent marriage, they can't fathom that someone else could be, or if they can imagine that someone else could be, they think it's their own fault and they deserve it.

i think the big thing is, as a _result_ of being a historically red state and going through aggressive anti-voter laws including Paxton's actions, people are _demotivated_ to vote. because "my vote doesn't matter/they'll throw it out anyway" (or certainly try to) as much as i wish "let's motivate them!" would work, with so many roadblocks in the way, it's hard to overcome that too. we know that we could flip the state, just that the people in power are willing to outright ignore our votes anyway. or, at worst, find a way to consider them illegitimate. instead, what i think would help, is _federal_ pro-voting measures that restricts them from putting so many roadblocks.

For some reason people think I'm, like, attacking the people of Texas for suggesting that their turnout has historically been an issue

I think we can all agree here that seeing a big, beautiful, blue Texas on the map would be absolutely incredible! And you're right! We've got so much energy in this campaign, in this movement, it's palpable!

we agree. everyone's on board here, it's moreso that we're addressing that this battle has multiple battlegrounds, not just turning out voters. everyone here is right. voter turnout is super important, but more than voter turnout and convincing others to vote, we need help from higher up in the government to make sure our votes are counted and equal. teamwork makes the dream work! to move along to a similar topic, has anyone organized anything fun for the debate? dad and i talked about maybe hosting a family night, i might call my grandma if she'd be down to host.

It is up. Difference is 5.3 to 4.3 million. The AP article doesn’t cover all the detail though. Of interest is that Florida has 3.9 million registered no party affiliation which can tend to lean Democratic. The second article covers how ‘Inactive’ voters are counted and some other suppression efforts which make the million variance seem less daunting. <#1268357315879370762> https://apnews.com/article/florida-republicans-democrats-voter-registrations-b843059f8f3f1419794751753626a120 https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2024/08/15/florida-republican-active-voters-top-democrats-by-1-million-what-does-it-mean/

At most, it's +1 Scott, but that's within margin of error which can also mean it's anywhere from +3 to -1 for Scott

I was mad at first and going to report it to moderators, then i decided to combat it a different way, my first post said, “ I see your Kamala post from 2018 and raise you any recent Hannibal Lecter ramblings coming from Donald.” Second post was, “she’s just looking out for Vance here. Not a good look should any of his fabulousness show up in unexpected places.” Open to more suggestions!

They've been telling us that this election will be close, and this shows that. Just means we have more work to do. We shouldn't ignore this just because it shows something we don't like (NYT/Siena is considered one of the best pollsters out there), but we should take this as motivation to do what we can to push our numbers over the top.

I agree, but also I view polls as valuable data that can, when used correctly, provide insight They don’t decide elections but they can give you a look through to what voters are thinking if you use them correctly

What Phil said. I’ll also add, the polls are really weird overall this time around. In 2016 and 2020, Trump performed better than the polls predicted, so the models for 2024 have all adjusted accordingly. However, democrats have been over-performing as well—most notably sincd 2022 when polling said there would be a red wave, but in the end dems lost the House by only a few seats, and also any time there are abortion amendments. Meanwhile, things are happening in terms of new voter registrations and enthusiasm that the polling is probably not capturing because it isn’t sure how to model 2024. And we have a lot of other strange things happening with the polling this cycle where some democratic Senatorial candidates are polling significantly higher or lower than Harris in a way that is a bit difficult to believe. So we’ll see lotta polls. Find whatever in them that motivates you. Then let them go. My 2 centz

I’m on a poll fast lol (as my Zoloft is only so strong) but these are exactly the data points my rational mind reminds myself of when spiraling. The other is the very meaningful percentage of folks who voted for Haley in the primaries even after she dropped out. I’m sure a meaningful percent will go back to Trump sadly but they only need some to either stay home or vote for Harris to make a difference.

I read last week, I’d have to search the link, that 20% of the donations to Harris/Walz campaign for August (or 20% of first time donations… I forget and am too scattered to search it) are independents or registered Republicans… So I feel optimistic. And… I got my new stack of postcards to write and send for Democrats Abroad… 😁

Plus, several polling companies are owned/run by GOP operatives. They use their results strategically to "offset" more legitimate polling in the averages. That's how the GOP uses pollsters to create narratives of momentum.

Don't spiral. Another optimistic thing is how wildly voter registrations have increased in Dem groups since Kamala took over the reigns—young women, black women, etc. Like 3.5x same time in 2020

I saw that NY was corrected to blue. But still work is needed. I'm aware it's been shaky under current leadership. A lot of upstate areas have gone pretty solidly red and an alarming number of MAGAS in the downstate area. Though Harris /Walz signs are turning up in unexpected places.

Sorry for the ping, but this is exactly why I just joined this server. There is so much chaotic data and polling in this election cycle that it is so incredibly difficult to pinpoint just what any of it means. And I am the type of person who really relies on that sort of information to bring me comfort and motivation, but I just know it's not presently available, and it probably won't be accurate until we are actually undergoing the election.

I remember on election day in 2022 believing all the pundits and polling that pointed to a red wave. Even in the late hours of election day then, I recall an analyst I followed on Twitter indicating it wouldn't be good for Democrats at all based off what he was seeing. But obviously none of that came true. I do believe it will be the same exact situation in 2024. It doesn't bring me any comfort or reassurance now, and my anxiety is certainly spiking, but all I can do is volunteer and hope for the best.

Six takeaways from Trump's Friday press conference. https://apnews.com/article/trump-press-conference-carroll-verdict-appeal-5f5b808c6befaeaacc1d9c2071ebd631 After appealing a decision on serious sexual misconduct allegations, Trump and his lawyers spent 50 minutes not only criticizing the ruling but also dredging up past incidents, which could further damage his image. Why choose this approach instead of discussing his presidential plans? Here are six key takeaways from their comments that viewers might have missed: 1. E. Jean Carroll's Testimony: Dismissing her story as 'utterly implausible' overlooks the jury's careful deliberation. They weighed the evidence and made their decision. 2. Credibility of Witnesses: Just because the defense finds some witnesses unreliable doesn't mean their testimonies were improperly admitted. The court followed legal procedures, and the defense had ample opportunity to challenge the evidence. 3. Political Motivation Claims: Framing this lawsuit as a political attack distracts from the serious nature of the allegations. The focus should remain on the facts, not political narratives. 4. Judicial Bias: If Trump's team believes there was bias in the courtroom, they should address it through appropriate legal channels. The integrity of our justice system is crucial. 5. Emotional Appeals: Using emotions to sway opinions doesn’t change the legal arguments. We must prioritize facts and evidence. 6. Legal Process Integrity: Claims that the legal system is 'weaponized' are unfounded. All parties, including judges, are committed to upholding the law. In summary, instead of addressing the merits of the case, the Trump team seems intent on undermining the rule of law once again. It’s a risky strategy, especially since they may still be campaigning against Biden and his supporters, who are less easily swayed.

Yes, there were some polls where Oz was leading, and there were some polls saying the race was tight. But it was never actually a tight race in the end.

It boggles the mind, but I think it’s just from people being uninformed and the media letting him get away with everything and never covering his craziest things. People just don’t know the facts, data, and policy implemented. They just don’t know about the IRA, Chips, and infrastructure bill. Same with the stock market, GDP, job numbers, inflation, private investments, and factories/energy being built

Quick note about our community guidelines. Our Community Guidelines unite us with a shared commitment to elect VP Kamala Harris to the US presidency. Our vision is to create a positive welcoming space for everyone. Pumping each other up & creating a groundswell movement of hope. We avoid debating & falling into negative rabbit holes. There’s lots of work to do. Let’s do this.

Ugh, the Heritage Foundation is so misleading. From the article, a strong rejoinder to their claims: “So, my fellow Georgians asked me, ‘Are noncitizens voting in Georgia?’” Mr. Raffensperger said in May on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I can say, ‘No, they aren’t,’ because we’ve checked it.”

Hi <@1275838971532021934>, I'm sorry you had that experience. The way Facebook moderates posts is not always accurate. Especially if it is being reported by those you are arguing with - they have an agenda to discredit - and mass reporting sometimes has this effect. The Reach app content has been thoroughly vetted for accuracy and you can also check out the new Harris issues page for more information. If you'd like help looking up a particular talking point I'm happy to help. New Issues Page: https://kamalaharris.com/issues/

I answered your question yesterday and provided a link. Here is another link that is from yesterday vs. Friday: https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/rfk-jr-ballots-michigan-north-carolina-remove-trump-rcna170049. And this article from the Duke (University) Chronicle, posted nine hours ago, is probably reliable: https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/09/duke-university-rfk-jr-name-removed-from-north-carolina-ballots-court-of-appeals-state-board-of-elections-appeal-early-mail-in-voting-delay. It says, "This decision will delay early mail-in voting in North Carolina for days or even weeks — well past the deadline of Sept. 6 set by state law. State officials have also said that Kennedy’s removal from the ballot will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars." I suggest that if you need up-to-the-minute information about this that you join the North Carolina channel here and see if a clearer timeline emerges soon.

I think Nate Silver is no longer at 538; he retained the rights to his model when Disney bought 538, though, and he's now posting on his own site: https://www.natesilver.net/p/nate-silver-2024-president-election-polls-model His model doesn't account for the exceptional circumstance of this election cycle (how can you predict something that is so different from prior years?), but his narrative has touched on it. My read on the situation is that Harris experienced a huge bounce immediately when Biden dropped out; that bounce is just now petering off. Which is why she has been careful the entire time to repeat that we're the underdogs.

Yes I meant them for separate reasons: 538 because they valued incumbency way too much, and silver because of his poll selection and the fact he has Kamala doing worse than Biden ever did in his model

possibly because people who didn't like her didn't watch and people who did tuned in. there's a few undecideds that were converted (my dad specifically comes to mind) but how many of those 'undecideds' are out there i couldn't tell ya

i'll say one thing: it's good to remind people that we can't sit back and go "well she's got this in the bag, she won't need me" because we know likeability doesn't win this election. but for those like a friend of mine who is worried if it's "worth it," seeing the positive headlines and increasing odds/favorability helps her feel more confident that when she votes, there's a chance she'll actually win. it's hard to motivate everyone the same way but i love these headlines. some 'undecided's are only undecided because they're worried their vote will be 'wasted' (or in some places, prevented from voting at all) and this is proof for them that it won't be.

The general consensus is that when Harris gets more exposure she gets more voters. So if she does the debate and does more sit down interviews you’ll see more of her surging

I think the conventional wisdom in 2016 was that Trump voters were less likely to answer. But since then, the polls have not been consistently skewed one way or the other. My hypothesis is that not answering the phone is increasingly the default behavior. Which makes me wonder A LOT about the select group of people who do answer the phone.

The press is a big part of the problem. They kept pushing her to release her policies and now that she has, the only questions reporters have yelled at her is about Trump.🙃 Hoping that this means she will talk policy tonite and ignore Trump while subtley pointing out his word salad answers and maybe a few "weird" comments just to irritate him. That word seems to push his buttons.

We'll see his face because split screen (I think) and you can sort of hear what he says w/o the mic. It happened during the June debate and you could hear (barely, and not always) what they were saying with muted mic.

Though that probably doesn't account for enough of his losses
2024-09-10T16:46:06.466+00:00 by ElfSolidarity [ elfsolidarity ]
I think his diminished popularity among minorities probably explains it
2024-09-10T16:46:21.632+00:00 by ElfSolidarity [ elfsolidarity ]
Since he did *gain* among the old white people in retirement communities, that loss has to come from somewhere

I think it was the Latino vote down there

Yeah, Harris is definitely making gains there, but not to the level of 2016/2012
2024-09-10T16:49:12.447+00:00 by ElfSolidarity [ elfsolidarity ]
The racial depolarization is probaby most true with Latinos, but ofc not nearly as much as Fox News wants everyone to think

Absolutely. I found additional context on this issue via Haitian Times: https://haitiantimes.com/2024/08/30/springfield-ohio-haitian-immigrants-racism/. It's worth reading, it provides valuable context about where this comes from and how situations like this evolve. We can unfortunately expect to see it happen again.

From what I've seen, it's high school lunchroom style psychology. Trump is the loud bully that has an outward appearance of power and wealth. Doesn't matter if it's a facade - this thinking style only goes skin deep. So the question is how will Kamala and Tim create a lunch room persona around them for Democrat values and their campaigns?

The issue with Dems here is that we always try to out-logic everything (like Spock from Star Trek). These people don't behave that way - it's purely emotional and instinctual psychology. Like what's Kamala/Tim's "Dark Brandon" moment?

Our community is here to support the campaign by focusing on her leadership and the issues she stands for.

I understand that. But again, I fear that will not defeat all of the lunchroom style psychology Trump uses. If the party or campaign figures out how to break through that and start returning politics back to issues and real leadership before she takes the presidency, that would be amazing.

We hear you, <@213531210792697858>, all of this can be so frustrating. We'd also like to share that viewing female-presenting as less than/weak, and masculine-presenting as better than/strong is based on nothing but societal constructs. Constructs are just ideas; they aren't real. We can all work to unlearn them and, as we do, we should avoid reinforcing them by using things like stereotypical gender roles. The more we play into them, the more ingrained it stays in us, and the more we pass it on to others.

replying to 2024-09-10T21:12:48.274+00:00 by Jeannine • Lead Mod We hear you, <@213531210792697858>, all of this can be so frustrating. We'd also like to share that viewing female-presenting as less than/weak, and masculine-presenting as better than/strong is based on nothing but societal constructs. Constructs are just ideas; they aren't real. We can all work to unlearn them and, as we do, we should avoid reinforcing them by using things like stereotypical gender roles. The more we play into them, the more ingrained it stays in us, and the more we pass it on to others.
I'm actually really excited to see how Kamala approaches the role of POTUS - would love to see her completely break the mold and forge her own unique leadership style!

I look forward to that AND doing my part to help her and Tim win! All the polls are within the margin of error (good or bad) and margin of error is margin of EFFORT - we can do it.

I hoping Harris talks more about women's freedom and reproductive health and how that relates to being a strong woman and better for all people. Had some MAGA folks tell me that Republicans are the party of women-so weird and then there is Trump's gross comments about his "chosen women" plus JD being well...JD. Harris has got this and I'm less nervous that the June debate with Biden. We good and if you are social media-talk her up after the debates!

## Debate Reminder: Stay Positive and Focused! With the debate starting soon, let’s all remember our shared goals: positivity, volunteerism, and getting Kamala elected! As we’ve seen in past debates, some discussions—whether from media or personal circles—can veer into analyzing Kamala’s performance through a gendered lens. We ask that everyone remain sensitive to how these conversations can impact those who have experienced gender discrimination. Let’s keep our focus on policy discussions and show thoughtfulness in our commentary. ### Thanks for your support, and let’s continue working together to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Enjoy the debate!

I woke up this morning to the best news and feeling much gratitude toward our candidate. Kamala is a hero. She faced a huge challenge. So much pressure. So many eyes on her, so many doubts from naysayers and worse. A media that undermines her constantly. So many lies told about her, constantly. And the hopes of so many people around the world riding on her shoulders. And she did it. She did it for us. She used her talent, brains, sincerity, professionalism, and competence to get an enormous job done. THIS is the US I knew: Great people achieving great things, a place of winners and dreamers who seek to inspire instead of tear down and diminish. I am so happy for her. And Joe Biden must be walking on air today. Right now she's on the front page of Financial Times, WashPost, NYT, and lots of international press, featured as the winner. Even WSJ concedes that she won, though they grumble about it.

Cool. 23/25 undecideds said KH won. She picked up +5 "definitely" votes and he got none. -4 "probably" votes for DJT. This article provides quotes that give context on their views. Somehow they were split on economy. I did think she could have addressed the question more directly (it came at the very beginning) but he misrepresents what a tariff is and offered no policy points I can recall. I have to wonder how much of this is projected "businessman = strong on economy" stereotyping. It's like they didn't hear the parts about how economists have trashed his plans as disastrous, or when KH pointed out his trail of failures. https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/presidential-debate-voter-poll/

A textbook example of Trumponomics: predict crashes and failures all because he is not in charge, and then the opposite happens. Gives press conferences about recessions and depressions just around the corner at the very moment the stock market rallies by hundreds of points. He predicted a recession during the Biden admin, but instead we got a soaring Dow and job growth. Now he predicts failure for TS, but she did already endorse Biden in 2020 and has since become a billionaire. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4873647-donald-trump-taylor-swift-kamala-harris-endorsement/

Wondering if an online engagement lead can request content team make something related to the debate regarding how easily manipulated Trump is (as she demonstrated in the debate by baiting him) and what a national security threat that is?

I think it depends what kind of audience and what kind of interaction we are really trying to have at that moment.. For example, if I have a limited amount of time to 1-make calls, 2-speak to someone at their door, or even if my priority at that moment is just not to get bogged down, it may be more productive to focus my energy elsewhere.

More numbers 🥳 (good news for campaign visibility and reach): "Early Nielsen ratings figures for Tuesday’s telecast, produced by ABC News but simulcast on multiple broadcast and cable networks, show the debate drawing about 57.75 million viewers across the big four broadcast networks, CNN, Fox News, Fox Business and MSNBC. That about 6.5 million more people than the final tally for the June 27 debate between Trump and President Joe Biden — and that total included eight more networks and out of home viewing, which aren’t yet factored into Tuesday’s numbers.

Maybe KH's first endorsement from someone affiliated with the Heritage Foundation—mind you, a founding member who's no longer with them. An Old School GOP Rep who started voting Dem with Obama in 2008 and who left the party after J6. It's a glowing endorsement of her foreign policy abilities and toughness. One nit: "Harris, in Congress, knew how to work across the aisle; Trump sees members of another party as his personal enemies." Only half-true: he also sees members of his own party as personal enemies. Basically he sees enemies. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/republican-congressional-leadership-foreign-policy-kamala-harris-20240910.html

Think about it like this; roughly 65 million adults in the USA are not registered voters. Out of those, roughly 2 million are Pennsylvanians. Assuming pseudorandom, that just brought in **9,400 Pennsylvanian voters** It’s often to unfair to assume pseudorandom in situations like this so the actual number is probably lower, plus people that are registered might’ve tapped the link and not all of these people will vote etc. But we’re still probably talking about thousands of voters

Harris/Walz's plan to support small businesses and startups is a national security policy as well as an economic one. China's startup sector is collapsing due to interference on ideological grounds—from 51,302 VC-funded startups in 2018, to just 1,202 last year 🤯 and fewer expected in 2024. Numerous quoted sources state that the climate for innovation in China is being hampered and funding is rapidly disappearing. Sounds like an opportunity for the "H/W opportunity economy" to leverage. The Silicon Valley guys backing Trump claim that DJT's got better policies for helping US compete with China. But that seems like scare tactics in light of this report. DJT *also* has his innovation-restricting ideology in Christian nationalism, already used at state level (FL and TX, for ex) to shut down "woke" innovation that addresses real natl security issues like food security, disaster recovery, and energy security, and at fed level (MAGA Congress going after virologists and other scientific researchers, for ex). https://www.ft.com/content/1e9e7544-974c-4662-a901-d30c4ab56eb7

Fully agreed. Notice that Trump et al never speak to the substance of the cases against him, attempting instead to gaslight the public about politically motivated charges and court procedures. No doubt that he and all of those who wish to restore 1950s-era America, with all its implications, will do ANYTHING to win. I believe things will get worse -- a pre-extinction burst of horrendous behavior, or worse -- before they improve as we approach and win the Whitehouse. We must not be deterred.

On track to raise more this week than during Convention week: https://observablehq.com/@rdmurphy/actblue-ticker-tracker And yes, before anybody pipes in with noting that money doesn't vote, while that is true, it is an excellent barometer of voter enthusiasm! Over 70% of these donations are coming from women, and many are first time donors.

replying to 2024-09-12T07:40:07.651+00:00 by howdyfriends (KY) Harris/Walz's plan to support small businesses and startups is a national security policy as well as an economic one. China's startup sector is collapsing due to interference on ideological grounds—from 51,302 VC-funded startups in 2018, to just 1,202 last year 🤯 and fewer expected in 2024. Numerous quoted sources state that the climate for innovation in China is being hampered and funding is rapidly disappearing. Sounds like an opportunity for the "H/W opportunity economy" to leverage. The Silicon Valley guys backing Trump claim that DJT's got better policies for helping US compete with China. But that seems like scare tactics in light of this report. DJT *also* has his innovation-restricting ideology in Christian nationalism, already used at state level (FL and TX, for ex) to shut down "woke" innovation that addresses real natl security issues like food security, disaster recovery, and energy security, and at fed level (MAGA Congress going after virologists and other scientific researchers, for ex). https://www.ft.com/content/1e9e7544-974c-4662-a901-d30c4ab56eb7

Russian propaganda TV host Vladimir Solovyov admits that Kamala Harris won the debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pp3uk0ERR0. Here he talks with *2016 DJT campaign advisor* Dimitri Simes, charged by the USDOJ last week for working with a Russian TV station under sanctions. Vlad S. and Vlad D. discuss Ukraine and the "decreasing" chances that DJT will, essentially, stop aid so that Russia wins: "The debate did not go well, not well at all." Solovyov and his guests regularly discuss topics like reclaiming Alaska, starting nuclear war against the US, or bombing the UK/other NATO allies. This YouTube clip comes from "Russian Media Monitor," a YouTube channel run by Daily Beast writer Julia Davis.

well, nearly 60mil are under age 18. And counting streaming some estimage 80m watched. That (80m/275m) would be about 29% of voting age pop

i'm personally not in agreement with shutting down nuclear plants. while i dont think energy economies should be dependant on nuclear, I think it is a piece of a bigger puzzle that belongs. that being said, even if there is a valid critique here, trump did not make that critique. he made some random incoherent nonsense like he always does

I just saw the full interview on the Breakfast Club. As far as I am concerned what Stein about women of Color is offensive. And Angela Rye was right by the way. If you can't say Kamala name correctly then why I should even consider you. They need to put respect on Kamala's name.

The H/W campaign is reaching out to Polish-American voters in PA, reports the NYT. I didn't post their article due to a paywall, but this Philly Inquirer article gives more context: https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/polish-pennsylvanians-presidential-debate-20240911.html. As a PA native with Polish roots, I'd love to see a "Cooking with Kamala"-style clip featuring pierogi. A quick Google search suggests that various church groups in PA—especially PGH—make and sell them year-round. And pierogi are similar to Runzas (dough stuffed with deliciousness), so Tim Walz would appreciate. Independence and freedom are values that *many* Poles share in common with non-MAGA Americans. The campaign's efforts to build a stronger bridge with this community is smart strategy and also represents a celebration of our diversity.

https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1833681961107214573 Due to Biden's historic low unemployment rate, immigrants did a good deal to meet labor shortage. Trump's statements about immigrants are misleading. Immigrants could help fill those job openings that just offered the minimum wage rate.

Thank you Jess. 🙂 This is exciting for someone who grew up on church-lady pierogi (my mom made them, then we'd sometimes buy them during the church sales). And as someone from TX, you'll know all about the German and Czech culture up and down I-35...thinking of a koláče-baking opportunity should our candidates do any rallies in Hill Co.

replying to 2024-09-13T04:17:34.517+00:00 by peter silverman/Tiamat (Petia) I just saw this on the Daily Kos - on the Trump/Vance 'Eating Pets Lie' - https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/9/12/2269974/-Vance-updates-the-Blood-Libel?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=latest_community&pm_medium=web
The blood libel (Nazi propaganda spreading the lie that Jews kill children) was the very first thing that came to my mind when I first read about the Springfield lies. Trump repeating this in a venue with 67 million viewers, and news and social media being able to spread and repeat this at the speed of light, is extremely dangerous! While this is a dark connection, I think it is a good idea to make folks that wonder about this (e.g. on your phone calls) aware of the parallels to how Nazi Germany othered and dehumanized Jews with this technique, ultimately leading to the holocaust. Haitians in Ohio are terrified, unfortunately for good reason. Sorry for getting so dark, but this is really serious.

Hi Kat that is absolutely important to recognise and remember. It's part of why we are all here to do this good work and help get Kamala Harris elected this November. Did you watch the debate?

This is a local interview for the Philly Media Market: https://6abc.com/post/look-brian-taffs-exclusive-action-news-interview-vice-president-democratic-nominee-kamala-harris/15300044/. She is more relaxed in this interview vs the CNN interview. I also think this interview asks true questions, not Trump talking points.

I mean, we say that, and it certainly seems likely, but what if Singh does best in English Canada and the Bloc does best in Québec -- they could strike a deal. There are swings in Canada’s multi-party system that we aren’t used to here with our two-party system...

> Gabriel Boric has been vocal about mental health issues and his personal struggles with obsessive–compulsive disorder, a condition he was diagnosed with as a child. In 2018, he took a leave of absence from Congress after being hospitalized due to his condition. The improvement of mental health services, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, was one of the central themes of his presidential campaign. This is super cool. I think he's relatable to most young men and young women for this.

Harris could do quite a few things to stop the far right in America and the rest of the world. For the US turning the page on Trump Will be huge. Politics has to be normal again. Passing the border Bill and doing comprehensive immigration could really stop it here. Immigration is the issue that makes people go far right

> The party's efforts to date includes knocking on 1.3 million doors, making 3.1 million phone calls and sending more than 10.9 million text messages. The party also points to the fact that several DeSantis-backed school board candidates lost during Florida’s Aug. 20 primary, **the governor’s first real political loss in years.** This is wrong. Donna Deegan upset the DeSantis-endorsed Republican candidate in the JAX mayoral election in 2023.

I think the keys are oversimplifying and maybe need an update, plus as Nate Silver pointed out recently, economic signals are mixed, and real take-home-pay is where people feel economic pain the most, which is one of the more negative signals.

Lichtman is also a hardened Democrat who has fiercely attacked the media for reporting on Biden's age and repeatedly whistled past the graveyard even as polling had the battleground states moving to Virginia. I don't know what Nate Silver's real politics are, but he has independence.

Right. Lichtman changed his model after 2000, though. I don’t think he’s as respected in his field as Silver is, even though he has a degree and Silver does not.

I don't see Shapiro ever being Vice president. The reason why he didn't get it is because he doesn't want to be Number two. He wants to be in charge. Gavin Newsom is the same and I feel like whitmer is as well

Hi <@1278463895953997866> ! NPR has a donate link. If possible please try to see if Yahoo or MSN has this article. It can be posted from there. Most NPR articles take us to a page with a Donate link, so they unfortunately have to be removed so we can remain in compliance with the fundraising laws.

But yea, Trump was absolutely not prepared to answer anything. I simply think this is flailing and the whistleblower rumor is a red herring
2024-09-14T15:47:15.532+00:00 by Sarah (ME->WA) [ sarahtoninreceptor ]
They need something that will gain traction to distract from the optics of the debate. Anything that can make people doubt the conditions or raise conflicting ethics questions (seeing that whistleblowers are generally respected in liberal circles) is not a terrible way to do that, but it’s all part of losing the plot and creating chaos.
2024-09-14T15:48:01.535+00:00 by Sarah (ME->WA) [ sarahtoninreceptor ]
And losing the plot is crucial for Trump since if anyone even remotely becomes informed as to what happened, they’ll see he’s a deeply unqualified and unserious person and it was on full display at the debate.
2024-09-14T15:48:57.703+00:00 by Sarah (ME->WA) [ sarahtoninreceptor ]
I don’t think you’ll convince the folks you’re trying to argue with. They’re acting purely on suppositions and rumors to cover their butts. It’s unfortunate but at the same time, I don’t believe anything would have changed even if they’re right
2024-09-14T15:53:12.063+00:00 by Sarah (ME->WA) [ sarahtoninreceptor ]
Exactly. You don’t want to tread into their waters. You know what happened at the debate and you know there isn’t any sort of legitimate information that has recognized a whistleblower. I feel like this is how a lot of folks in MAGA operate. They want to bring you into hypotheticals and gamble on the possibility that they are right and ignore when they are wrong. They also know we can’t ignore being wrong and seek to find information that corrects wrong info.

This is great news about the huge push for outreach to the Latinx community. I’m making bilingual calls with the campaign. Targeted outreach is definitely needed to reach this population, especially in the swing states, but also in Texas and Florida. It will make a difference! 💪🏽💙🌊

I think if anything, you can just assert that there is no information that corroborates their point, and engaging in these thought exercises disguised as debate doesn’t help them. If you can put out correct information then someone reading but not participating can see it, and that’s what’s impactful
2024-09-14T15:58:43.57+00:00 by AncientWiserOne [ ancientwiserone ]
I also agree. If this were previous debates like those seen in 2008 and 2012, candidates would focus on policy and discuss their way of handling it, as well as the specific details. Trump did none of those things, he only started to fearmonger about scenarios such as "the end of our country" and "World War III", and used Haitians as a scapegoat to further his own image. That's not to say we can't change our opinions though if such claims are proven true, but such claims would not change our opinion about the abhorrent behavior of this candidate and former president. We are going to push for those articles that reinforce that incompetence, because those are the stories that matter, not a supposed coup involving the VP and the media.

@JDVance · Sep 13 In Springfield, Ohio, there has been a massive rise in communicable diseases, rent prices, car insurance rates, and crime. This is what happens when you drop 20,000 people into a small community. Kamala Harris's immigration policy aims to do this to every town in our country.

2024-09-14T16:32:07.95+00:00 by Jabotinsky’s Strongest Twink [ unbridleddepression ]
There’s so much commentary about how Kamala’s performance appealed to women and Donald’s appealed to men. But most men don’t like seeing women mistreated. Most men aren’t Donald Trump.

Hi! You can post news articles, with no fundraising links, in this channel. If you have a particular question for the Harris campaign, your best bet is https://democrats.org/contact-us/

Florida we can win the senate race because of the ballot measures and Harris could make it really close. If Trump loses NC or TX or FL it’s over

To be fair to the article, they did point out some major lies about the Trump campaign. That’s not to say there’s statements from the twitter account that could’ve been done better.

Hi. If you have the stomach and patience for the stuff that gets slung around on Twitter, Please join the <#1260333091319451660> channel under "Amplify Messaging". Also know there a multiple KamalaHarris handles and most are used to amplify the positive message. The KamalaHQ handle (from my observation) enters and messages in more of the misinformation sphere, in the noise - if you will. KamalaHQ posts on Truth Social, a very hostile environment as you can imagine.

Others besides KamalaHQ also pointed out Trump addressing the wrong state, like Aaron Rupar (the guy that watches Trump speeches so you don't have to). I agree it's just hair splitting. Maybe some of the quotes have been paraphrasing, but nothing has been misleading.

Yeah it’s definitely millennials and gen z running it and they have to be a little more careful. The insults go way too far even if it’s something Trump says to us.

Sorry, it's Newsweek—but via MSN, at least: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse dropped some useful info for this campaign and downballot races this week.

RE: CNN Recognize the CNN, like most media, is corporate owned. Follow the money: CNN is owned by Warner Bros. "The leading shareholder in Warner Brothers Discovery is John Malone, a multibillionaire cable magnate. (Malone was a chief architect in the merger of Discovery and CNN.) Malone describes himself as a “libertarian” although he travels in rightwing Republican circles. In 2005, he held 32% of the shares of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. He is on the board of directors of the Cato Institute. In 2017, he donated $250,000 to Trump’s inauguration. Malone has said he wants CNN to be more like Fox News because, in his view, Fox News has “actual journalism”. Malone also wants the “news” portion of CNN to be “more centrist”." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/aug/24/the-changes-at-cnn-look-politically-motivated-that-should-concern-us-all

This article might interest you: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/election-2024-hollywood-silicon-valley-1235967050/?sfnsn=mo. There is a "VCs for Kamala" affinity group with 854 letter signatories (can't link due to a donate button on their website), including LinkedIn CEO Reid Hoffman and Mark Cuban. Also, a few weeks ago Chuck Schumer and other Dems targeted toward the crypto community at an outreach event, to offer an alternative approach to "FOUNDERS GOVT!". Lastly, there have been some recent H/W fundraisers in SF.

About the GOP's get-out-the-vote efforts. "[T]he Trump team is tailoring its effort, carried out in conjunction with outside groups, to be focused primarily on what it has dubbed 'low-propensity voters'—the people who are showing up in poll after poll saying they did not vote in 2020 but are breaking Trump’s way by a significant margin this time." Big money coming from Leon Musk and cryptobros. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna170516

Encouraging poll from Iowa—47-43-6 Trump-Harris-RFKJr, when it was 50-32-9 Trump-Biden-RFKJr!: https://eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2024/09/15/iowa-poll-donald-trump-iowa-lead-shrinks-as-kamala-harris-replaces-joe-biden/75180245007/. "Another 1% pick Libertarian presidential candidate Chase Oliver, 1% say they would vote for someone else and 1% are not sure." AND: "Trump leads with men 59% to 32% over Harris. And Harris leads with women 53% to 36%." Hopefully we can chip away some of the support among IA men for the toxic masculinity ticket. Remember, Obama won Iowa twice. And with that, I'm done with links for this morning/afternoon. 😀

4 ways this election is going to go 1. Landslide (like Obama in 2008 2. North Carolina flip and somewhat of a big margin like 2012 3. Trump wins like in 2016 but flips Nevada 4. 2020 exact results (-3 electoral votes due to census)

If any Minnesota and New Hampshire But Minnesota 1. Voted Hillary Clinton 2. Voted Joe Biden against Trump 3. Nixon was the last Republican to win 4. Tim Walz won statewide New Hampshire 1. Republican primary was within 10% between Haley and Trump, a lot of Haley’s voters saying they won’t vote Trump 2.Polls have shown Harris leading big 3. It went from a swing state to a D+8 state pretty much

I see this time in the campaign as very critical. The more that DJT seems like the loser, the more likely it will be that GOP folks refuse to co-sign his + JDV's increasinly unhinged lies and delusions. They will speak up if they no longer fear him. So we gotta keep moving, getting those poll numbers higher, collecting those strategic endorsements...we can do this! We're doing it for our candidates, but also on behalf of reality itself.

I don’t think Republicans are going to go to her site. They see these news interviews and respond to those. Whether or not Harris is held to a higher standard can’t be helped. While I think she killed it during the debate, she skirted the very first question. That can’t keep happening.

Completely agree. But societal misogyny is not going to change between now and Nov 5th. We all have to work in the system we are in WHILE we work to change it.

As someone who is a person of color I disagree. We need to hold people to same standards period. I will continue to call any ism because microaggressions are real and to say what are you doing about it is only apart of it.

I am in Houston. TX does not have online voter registration, a deliberate attempt to make it more difficult to register and suppress votes. At events, we have a common voter registration form which is accepted by several neighboring counties. When the event is over, the forms are delivered to the respective county Clark. The VDRs take a photo of the receipt and enter into Reach so the progress can be tracked.

Donna, I agree and that is a GOP complaint I read about all the time. She can’t meander, she has to answer directly, with bullet point responses. I forwarded the YouTube link to the senate dem leadership and asked them to discuss with the campaign.

I am saying this as someone is not a Democrat who is a people of color but in my experience especially black women are held to impossible standard. Harris needs to do all of these things but anyone who is male but especially white men can be incompetent still be candidate for President of the United States.

We can't play there game especially given who the candidate on the other side is. Lastly, Trump has been running since he lost in 2020 and Harris has only been a candidate since July. I like the fact that she talks about where she comes from.

Hi friends! Remember with all fresh events, it's very easy for rumors to run wild until the facts are nailed down and vetted. Take what you read with a grain of salt while (hopefully) the news media does due diligence in verifying the facts of the incident!

Yes. Birtherism was a big one.

Also what’s funny about calls is all these extreme stances people think Kamala has make me go…I wish she was that far left but really she just wants to make moderate changes that will actually work out in reality.
2024-09-15T23:15:20.22+00:00 by pilot [ .pilot ]
not conspiracy per se, but lots of thinly veiled bigotry. I rarely had outright hostility but it can be very draining making 50 calls, talking to 20 people, and having maybe one productive chat

But trump said he’s the most “pro IVF”. I heard her get called that at least twice today (and I’d disconnect if they went further than that into racism or blatant badgering). They parrot talking points from trump almost as badly as Meliana copied Michelle. <:frank:1273015487407718402>

I do something similar when they bring up the economy. Everyone thinks it’s going bad when if you take 5 seconds and google it you see it’s superior to where it was with trump especially compared to other countries. If I can get people to go “oh” and consider things I consider that a win. They’re not voting blue yet but at least the gears are turning…

I envy your skills with the phone stuff though Thomas. I can find answers quickly but when it comes to emotional intelligence I get a fat F without body language to go on. That’s amazing that you can engage that way in a phone conversation.

I’ve also noticed people respond more positively to “how” or “what” questions over “why”

i'll need to find the interview so take this as anecdotal, but i remember watching an interview of a former head of FBI who was often tasked with handling hostage situations, and he said the one thing that helps most and what most perpetrators really want, is for someone to listen. that tracks with a lot of what we're seeing. once people get their word in and you acknowledge they were heard, they're far more likely to listen too
2024-09-15T23:27:15.04+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ]
Like even if it’s the same question changing the wording makes a difference.

replying to 2024-09-15T23:25:23.223+00:00 by Thomas W E You gotta hear people's concerns. Make people feel heard and listened to. They have POINTS that are always real to them. When you know what motivates them really, and you've made some connection - you can use that to find a wedge issue.
What you're saying here is so spot-on. It's how we build trust, and trust is the key that unlocks so much else.

I think you might be referring to Chris Voss, who was formerly the FBI's lead hostage negotiator.

Thanks. I might consider it in the future. I can talk and am pretty confident in conversing in general so that’s not the issue. It’s the people who get really “passionate” (to put it nicely) where I freeze up. Not sure if that’s something that I can bypass. I help where I can!

Like if it’s with people you know you can ask questions and come to an understanding but that’s hard to do in a scripted phone call (emotions are largely read via body language). I studied psych though so it’s funny I’m not better at this. 😂

Remember - from my perspective anyways - there is plenty that can be done without being on the phone! Everyone is valuable. One of the things that excitements me is just seeing all the people want to help. I guarantee the GOP has nothing like THIS.

Passionate as in not swearing, just in the realm of their tone and speech veers into slightly combative. Many people could capably converse in such scenarios; I just can’t get a good read on these scenarios via phone. I totally agree with you if they’re disrespectful or going now where it’s thank you time.

2024-09-16T01:30:26.387+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]
Trump won it by 17 points in 2020 it has shifted by a lot to the republicans in order to win he needs to 1. Over preform Trump by 17% 2. Over preform the current polls by like 5-6%
2024-09-16T01:31:32.547+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]
Texas will be easier 1. Cruz got 2% in 2018 2. Texas keeps shifting more Democratic 3. Trump won it by the lowest margin since 1992 by around 5% in 2020
2024-09-16T01:32:09.314+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]
Allred has to 1. Over preform CURRENT polls by 4% 2. Shift Cruz margin by 2%
2024-09-16T01:33:16.166+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]
Yes
2024-09-16T01:33:49.645+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]
Even if let’s say Allred loses by 2030 Texas demographics would have a toss up race in Texas which whomever the democrat is unless it’s a bad one will likely flip

Not to put a damper on anything. I live in FL. The place where all the republicans came during Covid. It is certainly not going for Harris and I’m pretty sure it isn’t voting out our loser senator Rick Scott. Not sure about Texas environment but FL is a lot more hostile to Dems now. A lot!

Oof. Thankfully... as many of the mod team can attest lol, Texas is super motivated right now! There was a (snapshot) moment when 270towin had us listed as toss-up, and in spite of so many voter suppression efforts, we're still closer than ever to becoming a battleground state, thanks largely in part to registration drives that (per a report shared via *CBS News? Screenshot below from [Insta] @ blackgirlswhobrunch )... Compared to 2020, NEW voter registrations in Texas have increased SIGNIFICANTLY! +175% among young Black women +150% among young Latina women and more (likely Dem voters)!! 🎉 🙌🏾 💪🏾

Absolutely, it's not a quick conversation but if it's someone who you think is genuinely open, it's worth giving them other avenues of information to make their own decision! I also highly recommend directing them to sources like NPR - my personal fave news source - as they are really good about providing fair and factual reporting for both sides of the aisle.

if your phone number is already there, then you'll be okay. that notification is for those who aren't aware.

As s een in X- here's a thought: @DGComedy I need a Democrat in Congress to propose the ‘Save Donald Trump’s life gun reform bill’ so the Republicans either have to pass it or go on record that they don’t care about protecting Donald Trump. https://x.com/DGComedy/status/1835430340950667346

there was a poll saying trump is up just 2% in Florida and Rick Scott 1%. If turnout is high we could get a pretty big blue wave nationwide

Cities are almost always hard blue even in the most conservative states (see TX) so if people can get out and vote and there was never suppression and mail in votes always counted (better yet, let’s just make voting a national holiday). Red would never win again.

Another possibility that isn’t a net 0 chance is a tie. I was playing with maps and I forgot the exact state layout but basically if they both get 269 (based on the dumb rules we have counting each state as 1 vote) trump would be president and Walz would be VP. Not as terrifying as trump vance win, but it’s wild to think about.
2024-09-16T14:03:53.918+00:00 by Alan Chaulet (MA) [ thecoolsponge ]
Yeah if we don’t get that 1 Nebraska EC vote it will probably be a tie
2024-09-16T14:04:00.602+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ]
At least Walz would be down the hall to yell at trump but yeah…we need Harris to win. I think the future (although we never get complacent) is a bit less scary once that happens. GOP lacks an enthusiastic candidate and the more younger voters that can vote (and more aged population passes the torch), the better odds blue has.

replying to 2024-09-16T14:04:00.602+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] At least Walz would be down the hall to yell at trump but yeah…we need Harris to win. I think the future (although we never get complacent) is a bit less scary once that happens. GOP lacks an enthusiastic candidate and the more younger voters that can vote (and more aged population passes the torch), the better odds blue has.
And have a tie breaking vote in the senate most likely
2024-09-16T14:05:40.465+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ]
Not likely but not a net zero chance so. Gotta keep pushing for Harris.
2024-09-16T14:07:06.051+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ]
In a tie no way trump loses because each state gets 1 vote (so all those tiny population largely red states get 1 vote and places like cali despite being massive also get one 1). They can then only choose Walz or Vance which is gonna be Walz hence the weird tie ticket.

Texting is fun and less stressful that in-person or phone, so I have been texting a bit like a mad horse since I got on board that, but I know phone calls are probably more effective in the long haul so I am working on getting more comfortable with that. This week I am attending a sort of "how to make your personal story relatable to persuade others to vote blue" workshop through Indivisible and hope it helps me feel more comfortable with calls.

Everything we are all doing will make a difference in the long run! I think I attended at least 6 or more different trainings before deciding that the chat captain role would be best suited to my personality, skills, etc. I just love how quickly we've all come together to help make this happen. It truly is a people-powered campaign, that's not lip-service!!!

After feeling devasted in 2016, I swore I would not sit on the sidelines in 2020, and sent thousands of texts, and wrote hundreds of letters. I hope to beat my numbers form 2020 this time around. We cannot be complacent with the threats that are so close to home.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is spending $25 million on direct voter outreach programs in 10 main battleground states: AZ, FL, MD, MI, MT, NV, OH, PA, TX and WI. Per their website (can't link to it due to campaign finance laws) the money goes toward phone, in-person, and digital outreach, along with programs targeting specific constituencies. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/senate-democrats-pumping-25m-into-effort-to-expand-voter-outreach-in-10-states/ar-AA1qF8vA

WashPost has a new article that links to YouGov polling data (5th paragraph) about people's reactions to last Tue's debate. 40% of respondents watched the whole thing. That seems ... good? The article itself shares some data points on how many people believe in DJT's greatest-hits lies and conspiracy theories. They highlight that his lies "have also generally only caught on to an extent" with independents—"and the data suggest these are likely Republican-leaning ones." In other words, most independents, including GOP-leaning, aren't buying into his nonsense either much or most of the time. Which is good for us, if it means they're still living in the fact-based world and we can still get through to them. https://archive.is/o5uJw#selection-1025.78-1025.95

YouGov's data ("1120 U.S. adult citizens") also shows that 15% of respondents "haven’t heard anything about" the debate.

YES! Absolutely! Anytime I see a poll I don't like, I focus on spending a little extra time volunteering.

I know a lot of polls aren’t reliable since this election is very variable but I really do hope all this momentum and positivity behind Harris means she’ll lead

That is, a double-digit win for Clinton, which could potentially yield somewhere around 400 votes for her in the Electoral College, and make states as exotic as Texas and Alaska competitive.

JDV addresses them on Thu morning.

Gwen Walz was in AZ yesterday to rally teachers to GOTV, speak at a "Women for Harris" event in Flagstaff, and talk to folks in deeply red Kingman (was 75% for DJT in 2020). This campaign continues to do a great job reaching out to red places and seeing opportunities instead of writing them off. 💪 https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/16/gwen-walz-campaigns-across-arizona-on-monday-heres-where-shell-be/75211990007/

Harris is different from Clinton. Hillary inherited the liability of scandalous Bill Clinton's presidency, but Biden's records are clean. Republicans could not attack Biden.

That forecast has gotten better for Harris since I last checked it but those error bars are extremely wide. South Carolina, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Jersey, Indiana, Montana, Oregon, Mississippi, and Illinois not being safe is pretty wild Nice to see that even though they’re very hesitant to call states they have Michigan and Wisconsin as leans democratic

I’m likely in the minority here, but the [existing research](<https://twitter.com/DKThomp/status/1835810870317683061>) on this suggests that their first endorsement didn’t move the needle. In addition, it didn’t significantly increase Biden voters’ trust in the scientific field, while sharply decreasing it among Trump voters.

Hmmm.... Maybe state conventions. They did something similar with the 21st amendment right? Thinking of hypotheticals.

I’ve seen a theory by the hardline (not ideological, but tactical) wing of the blue coalition that says decreasing conservatives’ trust in the institutions is a good thing on net, because the institutions are where the power breaking occurs.

I don’t think this will happen with Nevada or New Mexico but it’s interesting to note that Tennessee and Kentucky voted for the winner each time from 1964 to 2004 and Missouri each time from 1912 to 2004, except for 1856. However Obama lost all 3 twice

I disagree. She was being asked questions that was important to Black Community. I don't know how much Black press that you read or watch on regular basis but gun violence, economic issues, and race relations are the key focus.

i love when she's not forced to a short, 2-minute response. she's good at being brief and to-the-point, but hearing her full-fledged ideas and where she draws them from, is super humanizing too.

Just remember to keep your energy focused on doing everything you can in the time we have. It's so easy to get bogged down by the crazy stuff that keeps popping up in the news, but that's what they want- to distract us and keep us spinning. That time could also be spent helping with a text campaign or a phone bank or using the Reach app to connect with your people. Staying cautiously optimistic and incredibly active is going to be what makes this happen for us. We have to keep our focus on the work and maintain the energy that is going to get Harris and Walz elected.

Agree, the facts are the reality of what we're dealing with. it is important to talk about some of these stories in the news, like Springfield, while remaining focused on the campaign. If anything, what's been going in in the last few weeks in the news has motivated me to do more, and make sure people turn out to vote, and get Kamala Harris elected.

I think it makes sense for there to be so many rallies and events to make up for lost time since President Biden announced that he was not going to pursue re-election in July 2024. Consequently, Vice President Harris' campaign started in July 2024 vs. late 2023/early 2024.

Hey folks, online there are images surfacing of a 2020 tweet from the VP about a virtual town hall meeting hosted by P. Diddy. Folks are trying to line up connections between her and the now arrested singer, but this recent tweet is a loose connection at best. https://x.com/KamalaHarris/status/1248624302682828802 This is referencing a virtual town hall put together by Revolt TV, where a variety of different representatives were speaking on the Coronavirus' effect in black America. This was a group event that didn't have any direct ties to anyone, it was rather just a discussion on the prior pandemic. If anyone tries to bring this tweet up, feel free to let them know about this info.

Radio engagement is really effective with Latino communities. I’ve been doing bilingual phone banking, and hope that the campaign is putting lots of ads and interviews on Spanish stations, and TV. Will help a lot with voters who get info that way.

Nice—**111** more GOP ex-official endorsements for Harris/Walz! Paywall, so here are some of the bigger names: "former defense secretaries Chuck Hagel and William S. Cohen; Robert B. Zoellick, a former president of the World Bank; the former C.I.A. directors Michael V. Hayden and William H. Webster; a former director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte; and former Gov. William F. Weld of Massachusetts. Miles Taylor and Olivia Troye, two Trump administration officials who became vocal critics, also signed. But a number of **Republicans who did not sign a similar letter on behalf of Mr. Biden in 2020 signed the one for Ms. Harris** this time, including several former House members, like Charles W. Boustany Jr. of Louisiana, Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Dan Miller of Florida and Bill Paxon of New York." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/18/us/politics/republican-officials-harris-endorsement.html

Hi news fans! Just a quick note that server-wide, we have many Haitian immigrant volunteers and they've asked us to continue protecting them as tensions have escalated and they live in fear right here in our country. Specifically, we don't allow jokes/making light of the situation in Springfield and we know they are human beings who have fled a traumatic situation. Haitian and all immigrants in the U.S. work hard and contribute to their families and community. They pay taxes. We ask that anything you share or say about our beloved Haitian community is positive and protective of them, to help us change the narrative about this vibrant group of people and resilient, hardworking residents in the U.S. Thank you!

Just a quick note that server-wide, we have many Haitian immigrant volunteers and they've asked us to continue protecting them as tensions have escalated and they live in fear right here in our country. Specifically, we don't allow jokes/making light of the situation in Springfield and we know they are human beings who have fled a traumatic situation. Haitian and all immigrants in the U.S. work hard and contribute to their families and community. They pay taxes. We ask that anything you share or say about our beloved Haitian community is positive and protective of them, to help us change the narrative about this vibrant group of people and resilient, hardworking residents in the U.S. Thank you!
Would it help for us to create and share positive social media content about Haitian immigrants or other immigrant communities?

I am a data nerd, but I have just gotten exhausted with the over analyzing of polls, especially when we see, again and again, that they are so variable depending on who asks the questions, how the questions are worded, who answers the phones, and how their response is interpreted. So I choose to spend my energy ensuring that I can say I've done whatever I could do come election day. Prognosticating is not my jam. That's all.

That’s understandable. I get it, I just personally like to do surface level dives into the polls for the sake of learning more on the state of the race Not saying it’s the same for everyone, whatever allows you to keep pushing!

Thanks. The media has been quite bad on covering the issue of inflation, which Trump & Co. decided to make a major line of attack 1-by equating high inflation to bad economy (its not), 2- by not challenging the argument that if it happened under Biden then it is his fault 3- by never emphasizing that Trump made no case for why is it Biden's fault and what he would have done differently, and finally 4- by ignoring the offsetting increases in wages. I think my argument to debunk is the simplest and most effective way we can approach this. but I am having a hard time getting it out there.

Educating the public on the perils of a Trump presidency is no easy matter. As an attorney and policy analyst, I have been doing so since 2012. And now we found many unaware of the existential threat to our democracy that is looming. That threat, is Donald Trump. He showed us four years ago who he is, and what he is capable - and now there is no palliative force such as Mike Pence anymore - just the opposite. And he has been immunized by the highest court in the land for his most egregious misdeeds. Now it is up to us - to spread the word about the devastating effects Trump's Project 2025 will have on everyone - not just his voters.

honestly, this was to be expected- the teamsters elected a pro-trump leader and most of their members are much higher income than the rest of the working class- a lot of teamsters in a lot of ways act as independent business owners more than workers. theres not much that can be done to reach out to them, i think, not much that the campaign isn't already doing, anyway. since every other union is firmly in harris's corner i think we're doing fine with the unions, and most union workers will see that

from what i read it's closer to 70-72/100 but they're compensating because of Trump's surprise turnout in 2016 + polls aren't always accurate.

> In the 2020 election, now-President Joe Biden ended up needing to win the national popular vote by at least 3.8 points (assuming a uniform national swing) in order to carry enough states to win 270 electoral votes. This year, thanks to her stronger standing in state polls than in national ones, our forecast thinks Harris needs to win the national popular vote by only about 2.1 points in order to be favored to win. However, that still means the Electoral College will probably help Trump, meaning that it's essential for Harris to maintain her current lead in the northern battleground states especially. That's why our forecast gives Harris a 61-in-100 chance of winning instead of 72-in-100 (her current chances of winning the national popular vote). source: https://abcnews.go.com/538/polls-show-harris-gaining-after-presidential-debate/story?id=113745432

I think Cruz’s alleged unpopularity with MAGA is a convenient Democratic narrative. He was consistently hitting >85% against a placeholder opponent in the Panhandle in his primary this year — that’s not unpopular with MAGA.

Yeah Panhandle is tough to deal with if you want to flip Texas. Some of those counties vote 90-95% red

What’s interesting to me is that many of them have substantial Latino populations, although my look at the precinct data suggests that they are much, much, less likely to vote than the white residents there.
2024-09-18T21:52:06.074+00:00 by Aden W (TX) [ aw823 ]
That’s true and demographics vote differently in different states. White men in rural Vermont vote very differently from white men in rural Mississippi

I’d really like to see the following posted next to social media about the GOP shutting down the government because of the SAVE Act…. It helps to keep American informed… Since the Illegal Immigration Reform and immigrant responsibility Act of 1996, it is illegal for a noncitizen to vote in federal elections. As of June 2024, no state constitutions explicitly allowed noncitizens to vote in state or local elections.

We appreciate your hard work putting this together. I understand your concern and it’s difficult not to worry. It’s hard to think that someone can deny science that’s right in front of our faces. The best thing we can do is to stand our ground, double down, and do that hard work! If everyone volunteers every day, even if it’s just an hour or two of their time, we can win this!

Hi, Newsies! I want to take a minute and say that I hear you. We hear you. Many of us share the same concerns you have. And we know that bad news gets clicks, it gets attention. Bad news is infectious. But we can choose where we focus our energy. Personally, I'm ignoring polls. I'm just foot on the gas until Nov. 6th, because even if someone tells me Harris +32 across the country, I want +38. I'm staying alert to the news, and I'm choosing to turn my energy towards action instead of what-ifs. When I wake up on Nov. 6th I want to know that I did EVERYTHING I could to win this. We are in the middle of this campaign, and it can feel like a lot. We can do this though! We can choose to recognize the realities of what is at stake here AND we can choose joy. We can choose to turn our energy towards activating. When we do that we come out with a win win win. So, tell me, what are you doing to turn that energy into action? Or, what's one positive piece of news, or joy, around the campaign that you can share with others? Because joy is just as infectious!

from what i hear, one of their heads spoke at the RNC, which explains their "no endorsement" answer. but on local levels several in battleground states have already endorsed Harris edit: correction, not spoken at RNC, sorry. was thinking of the wrong group

Fifty-two percent of likely voters polled in Michigan supported Harris and 47 percent supported Trump; in Wisconsin, 50 percent of likely voters polled supported Harris, compared to 49 percent who said they supported Trump.”

Collected some info I found on Teamsters locals and groups endorsing Harris. Lots of swing states locals, but not only: * MI Teamsters Joint Council 43 * Teamsters’ National Black Caucus * Teamsters Joint Councils 7 and 42 (39 local unions representing 300,000 members in CA, NV, HI and Guam) * Teamsters Joint Council 39 in WI * Local Teamsters 238 in Iowa * Teamsters Joint Council #40 in PA covering more than a dozen locals across Pittsburgh, Jeannette, Cambria County, State College, Erie, New Castle, Washington and Uniontown * Teamsters Joint Council 28 in WA, ID, Alaska * Teamsters Local 623 in Philadelphia, PA * Local 769 in Miami, FL Teamsters Local 237 in NYC, NY told Politico they will endorse. I have sources for all of the above, if you want/need them. Also found a tweet from US Sen.

Never been better at ignoring polls. I’m excited. I make some calls in an hour. Our Dems abroad postcard campaign is over. We sent thousands of postcards to people voting in swing districts. No more postcards now. Only phone banking and door knocking. Next time I will call via the Dems Abroad platform calling other expats in the Netherlands to see what that’s like and how it compares to scale to win. Today is only my third time making calls like this. They say the third time’s the charm…. 😄

Exactly! There is no way Trump expands his base over 2020, with Republicans publicly denouncing him, the insurrection, and all of the criminal and civil convictions. Let alone Dobbs and how fired up women are. I don't think the pollsters have adapted to the new reality.

The big weakness of polls is they’re weighted towards likely voters, so if there are a bunch of new voters they won’t capture that support. This is what happened in the 2022 midterms because of dobbs and I don’t see a reason it wouldn’t happen here

I treat pollsters as sports commentators during a soccer game. Sometimes they drum up excitement only for it to turns into a missed or blocked goal. Sometimes they're busy discussing how badly a player is doing this season only for that player to score an amazing goal. The players and the crowd are everything. The sports commentators are there for the analysis. We here are the crowd ready to use our voices to lift our team to victory.

replying to 2024-09-19T15:03:10.902+00:00 by Carol M [OR] Exactly! There is no way Trump expands his base over 2020, with Republicans publicly denouncing him, the insurrection, and all of the criminal and civil convictions. Let alone Dobbs and how fired up women are. I don't think the pollsters have adapted to the new reality.
Of course there will be a few new voters possibly some who flip but that number will just be canceled out if not decreased gain with the new Republicans 4 Harris support

TL;DR: We should feel encouraged by the current polling and the positive reception of the Democratic ticket. Here is a concise synopsis of the key points from the interview: 1) New polling shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in three key "blue wall" states - up 6 points in Pennsylvania, 5 points in Michigan, and 1 point in Wisconsin. This may be part of a broader national trend favoring Harris. 2) The latest Iowa poll shows Trump's lead over Biden has narrowed significantly, down to just 4 points after leading by 18 points in June. 3) Strategist Simon Rosenburg believes the debate helped Harris and hurt Trump, with the aftermath of Trump's efforts to change the subject being "a huge failure" for him. Rosenburg says the Democratic ticket is in a strong position with high favorability, and they have a better capacity to gain ground in the coming months. 4) While the Teamsters union did not endorse the Democratic ticket nationally, Rosenburg notes there were many local Teamster endorsements in key battleground states, and the campaign has worked hard to maintain strong union support, which he believes will be the most enthusiastic for a Democratic ticket in decades.

replying to 2024-09-19T14:21:21.612+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY In the last 8 years him leading nationally in a few polls means he will win the popular vote. Like what? Is he going to flip 7M people and how is he? And electorally? How is he going to do better than he did as an incumbent
Political science research has found declining incumbent advantage for decades, and now almost all incumbents in democratic nations are unpopular, including President Biden whom Kamala needs to carefully extricate herself from without dumping on her boss completely.

Summary: Kamala Harris advocates for significant health reforms, including reducing health care costs, eliminating medical debt affecting 33% of Americans, safeguarding reproductive rights, advancing gun violence prevention, addressing COVID-19 impacts, and implementing six months of paid leave while expanding child tax credits. Specifics: 1) Health Care Costs: Harris supports extending enhanced Biden-era tax credits that have reduced health care premiums for millions. The Inflation Reduction Act caps insulin prices at $35 per month and limits out-of-pocket drug costs to $2,000 annually for seniors. 2) Medical Debt: Approximately 33% of Americans are affected by medical debt. Harris's initiatives aim to relieve $7 billion in medical debt for 3 million people by 2026 and propose excluding all medical debt from credit reports. 3) Reproductive Rights: Harris's policy plan affirms her commitment to safeguarding abortion rights, especially after the Dobbs ruling. She has launched a 50-stop reproductive freedom bus tour to promote her agenda. 4) Gun Violence: The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act includes measures like strengthened background checks and funding for school security, representing a significant legislative effort in response to gun violence, with tens of millions allocated for safety grants. 5) COVID-19: Harris has advocated for a $250 million contribution to an international pandemic preparedness fund and supports ongoing research for long COVID, addressing a condition affecting millions who experience lingering symptoms. 6) Paid Leave: Harris proposed six months of paid family and medical leave, significantly more than the 12 weeks included in the American Families Plan, and supports expanding the child tax credit from $2,000 to $3,600 per child, as well as $6,000 in tax relief for lower-income families during the first year of a newborn’s life.

Of the three possible scenarios following Musk's purchase of Twitter, the following was the author's most concerning: "The darkest-darkest timeline is the one where the world’s richest man runs a communications platform in a truly vengeful, dictatorial way, which involves Musk outright using Twitter as a political tool to promote extreme right-wing agendas and to punish what he calls brain-poisoned liberals." Count that as yet another reason to leave X/Twitter. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/09/elon-musk-trump-posts/679937/

potentially. David Chalian was just on CNN and basically said “the question is now whether Robinson can lose the governor’s race so hard that it actually affects *upballot* votes”

Hey friends! We’re aware of the recent news about Mark Robinson that’s starting to circulate. Given how fresh this information is, details are still emerging, and the graphic nature of the story makes it sensitive. While it’s natural to have reactions to this kind of news, let’s not forget that our focus here is on advancing our volunteer efforts. Please be mindful of the discussions you have, as it's easy to get pulled into a rabbit hole when we don’t yet have all the facts. Let’s continue to support each other and stay dedicated to the work we’re doing!

It's really sad that we have so many such people in our govts. There are so many talented people in the US who would actually do their jobs, if elected. Not tweet all day, not spread hatred, but solve problems and lift people up. That's why our candidates mean so much to me. They are trying to drag the country out of the path of a teetering garbage pile, before the garbage collapses on everyone. H/W are really unique, courageous people and I'm proud to do whatever I can to help them succeed. We're lucky to be able to be in here, working on behalf of people who inspire trust and who care about restoring values like kindness and competence to the national discourse. <:kamala1:1269028302203523114> <:WalzSmile:1270424129853456445>

> Robinson also invoked a quote from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in which he said he was the victim of a “high-tech lynching” during his confirmation hearings amid the allegations against him of sexual harassment against Anita Hill in the early 1990s. > > “Well, it looks like Mark Robinson is too,” Robinson said. Aren’t conservative Republicans opposed to identity politics? This is flagrant race-baiting.

I suspect it’s because of their much more conservative membership. They ran two surveys and found that solid majorities supported Trump, which departs from other unions.

I thought their strawpoll was done back when Biden was still in the race (where he narrowly led Trump). Then again, I do find it fishy that Trump could turn a 6-point deficit into a 20–30 point advantage when Biden handed the baton to a candidate much more popular among *every* demographic.

I love being the party of the “Hollywood elite.” The Republicans never explain why they’re the “elite” (hint: because everybody in America and around the world watches and loves them).

My guess would be similar to Utah in 2022 where the republican incumbent still wins but by a much narrower margin than usual. Nebraska does seem more moderate, but the independent in Utah was a former republican and Deb Fisher isn’t Mike Lee

I'm 75 and don't get around enough to go knocking on doors so I talk to everyone I know about the election. I tell them what watch on C-Span not so much on what the media is saying but what is actually being done in Congress. They thank me for it. One of my sons is a truck driver and is showing the people he meet how to sign up on their phones. We all talk about what is going on, everywhere we go like church I use it teaching Sunday school class to compare the pass with today. I'm sorry I can't do more

I really hope Arizona turns blue again this election! It’s amazing to remember how it flipped in 2020, thanks in large part to Native American voters. Historically, it’s been a Republican stronghold since the 1950s, but the Navajo Nation and other Indigenous communities played a critical role in turning it blue. Their voices matter so much in this fight, and we need to make sure every vote counts again in 2024! https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-2020-election-results/2020/11/13/934591289/how-the-navajo-nation-helped-flip-arizona-for-democrats

The Ohio Democratic Party should tacitly endorse him if he runs for Senate in 2028. If he decides not to go that route, he could serve as a Republican appointee in the Harris administration in its third and fourth years (or more!).

Many vexing issues were discussed on tonight's Deadlock on PBS. Different scenarios. If election administrators haven't already had nightmares about these, they will now if they watch it. For all I know, they may have already come up with solutions. I was already concerned about a group in 2020 in folding chairs near a drop box for ballots.

Hopefully this NYT investigation leads to a batch of new GOP endorsements for Harris 🤞 ...TL;DR DJT planned, and is surely planning now, to weaponize the IRS against political enemies. It quotes Jeffrey Berman, ex-US Attorney (SDNY) who was chaotically fired on a Friday when Bill Barr announced he had resigned, when he actually hadn't. At the time, Berman was reportedly investigating Giuliani for alleged crimes relating to his activities in Ukraine (per Wikipedia). https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/21/us/politics/trump-investigations-enemies.html?unlocked_article_code=1.MU4.NyIM.voDAk0dWxeTt&smid=re-share

To anyone worrying about Nebraska becoming winner-take all; The Nebraska legislature has 49 seats, being unicameral. For such a bill to get past a filibuster, it would need 33 votes at least for a 2/3 majority. There are exactly 33 republicans in the Nebraska legislature, and at least one is publicly against winner-take all. For the moment, we are safe! Let’s not worry about that right now; instead, let’s worry about electing Kamala and Tim with the system we currently have!

They did a sneaky thing to prevent that from happening; Maine laws don’t come into effect until 90 days after the bill is signed or the veto is overridden, meaning it’s too late for Maine to counteract.

That’s why this is only being discussed now. Thankfully, though, it’s looking like this trick is going to fail due to a lucky break. Let’s take advantage of it!

Thanks for this great reminder Jake of not letting anything take our eyes off the prize! With only 45 days left until Nov. 5th (yes, you read that right - just 45 days!) we've still got a lot of work to do. The work is hard work. It is good work! And as Kamala says "we love hard work!" Now is the time to stay focused on the work and remember what we have the power to control. When I start to worry, I just register for another of our events!

No inflammatory, breaking (all facts not in) or old news. Please do not spam this channel with many links close together. Thank you!

My dad insisted that all of us kids know how to change the oil, check the battery and other fluid levels, and change a tire before we could get our driver's licenses. When my first car (a used 1964 VW beetle) needed a new clutch, we bought the repair manual, took it to a place where we could pull the engine, and he showed my how to replace the clutch.

same here. he made sure i knew how to jump-start a car, replace a battery, how to tell if the brakes need replacing, and how to check tire pressure. my dad loves Tim Walz, and through Tim Walz i got him interested in Kamala Harris. he's excited to vote, which is a huge turnaround from the negative view he had about politics just earlier this year.

Hello - I received this article from a very concerned acquaintance who lives in San Diego, a border town, who wants to know what the Dem response to this is. The headline is as awful. I’m going through video of the hearing now to see if this is indeed what the former border patrol agent said. I’m well aware that the Biden Admin was ready to sign the border bill Congress was working on a year ago and that Trump scuttled. Letting this acquaintance know that is not going to suffice. Has the campaign put out any kind of response to these allegations by this former border patrol agent? This is someone who would vote for Harris but this article has her very concerned and I’m worried she might change her mind and heaven forbid vote for Trump. If she is feeling this way we could lose other voters particularly in border states on this issue, I’m headed to AZ a border state next week to knock doors. I need some good talking points on this allegation that border patrol was told to not report border crosses with ties to terrorism. Can someone point me to a rapid response on this, admin statement in response, Harris campaign statement???

From this issues website: Restore and Protect Reproductive Freedoms Vice President Harris and Governor Walz trust women to make decisions about their own bodies, and not have the government tell them what to do. Donald Trump handpicked members of the United States Supreme Court to take away reproductive freedom – and now he brags about it. In his words, “I did it, and I’m proud to have done it.” He even called for punishment for women who have an abortion. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Vice President Harris has driven the Administration’s strategy to defend reproductive freedom and safeguard the privacy of patients and providers. As Governor, Tim Walz led Minnesota to become the first state to pass a law protecting a woman’s right to choose following the overturning of Roe. Vice President Harris has traveled America and heard the stories of women hurt by Trump abortion bans. Stories of couples just trying to grow their family, cut off in the middle of IVF treatments. Stories of women miscarrying in parking lots, developing sepsis, losing the ability to ever have children again — all because doctors are afraid they may go to jail for caring for their patients. As President, she will never allow a national abortion ban to become law. And when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, she will sign it.

Say specific things in the border bill Trump killed. It would have hired thousands of new border agents and spent billions more and do big reforms. The Democrats gave the gop 90% of what they wanted. Also border crossings are lower now than Trump's last year. Trump was all talk and if you look at the numbers was awful on border security. The border was much more secure under obama. I can explain more in DM's
2024-09-22T15:38:50.128+00:00 by Alan Chaulet (MA) [ thecoolsponge ]
That bill would’ve increased legal immigration. The GOP have gone full nativist. It’s much worse racism and Trump is directly repeating the same words as Hitler by saying immigrants poison the blood of America

Came here to say what Alan said, <@1255695517342502922>. Trump killed the border bill for political reasons -- he preferred to campaign on it than to solve problems. The border bill was by Sen. James Lankford, R-OK. Here is an article by Voice of America (legit news source) providing stats about the improved situation at the border since Biden went ahead with his exec order in June: https://www.voanews.com/a/white-house-reports-drop-in-border-encounters-credits-executive-actions/7791479.html

Thank you Alan. I will DM you. All very very helpful but this woman is aware Trump scuttled border bill. What I need to be able to address is the allegation by this border chief that the administration was directing him to cover up serious problems at the border. As I doing my own research, this hearing seems to be part of a series of hearings called by the Republicans to attack the admin and the Harris Campaign. https://www.axios.com/2024/09/05/harris-walz-house-republican-investigations. Never in the clips of his testimony does the border chief say who in the administration told him to “cover up” these issues. When I have time later today I will see if I can track down CSpan coverage of the entire hearings as I would like to hear what Dem representatives asked him at this hearing. I need to hear some cross-examining of the witness so to speak.

replying to 2024-09-22T15:35:59.871+00:00 by Alan Chaulet (MA) Say specific things in the border bill Trump killed. It would have hired thousands of new border agents and spent billions more and do big reforms. The Democrats gave the gop 90% of what they wanted. Also border crossings are lower now than Trump's last year. Trump was all talk and if you look at the numbers was awful on border security. The border was much more secure under obama. I can explain more in DM's
Thank you Alan. I will DM you. All very very helpful but this woman is aware Trump scuttled border bill. What I need to be able to address is the allegation by this border chief that the administration was directing him to cover up serious problems at the border.

replying to 2024-09-22T15:14:02.317+00:00 by JoanL Hello - I received this article from a very concerned acquaintance who lives in San Diego, a border town, who wants to know what the Dem response to this is. The headline is as awful. I’m going through video of the hearing now to see if this is indeed what the former border patrol agent said. I’m well aware that the Biden Admin was ready to sign the border bill Congress was working on a year ago and that Trump scuttled. Letting this acquaintance know that is not going to suffice. Has the campaign put out any kind of response to these allegations by this former border patrol agent? This is someone who would vote for Harris but this article has her very concerned and I’m worried she might change her mind and heaven forbid vote for Trump. If she is feeling this way we could lose other voters particularly in border states on this issue, I’m headed to AZ a border state next week to knock doors. I need some good talking points on this allegation that border patrol was told to not report border crosses with ties to terrorism. Can someone point me to a rapid response on this, admin statement in response, Harris campaign statement???
Also you might want to let her know the big picture of this tactic.....GOP has control of the house so they can stir up anything even one person in this country says and make into a house investigation just before the election to trick voters.....Dems do not use this tactic but GOP has numerous times. (Remember those powerful but empty accusing words that bias voters like: "What if I told you""...I have heard."...etc.)

Not sure if I’m allowed to post here because it’ll probably end up in the campaign social channel but Kamala says she’s eliminating unnecessary degree requirements for federal jobs. Stuff like this should have bipartisan appeal and reduce false perceptions of elitism

I would’ve liked either Walz or Shapiro as VP pick but I think Walz was better because Shapiro can maintain his presence in PA whereas Minnesota is more solidly Democratic already

My understanding is that there are 4 seats in the senate which are competitive but favored for republicans to win, which we need to win one of minimum to retain our senate control; Montana, Texas, Florida, and the Nebraska non-special election

to the Texas discussion earlier -- i would definitely be cautious about putting money on either Florida or Texas turning blue 100% but it's gone from "it will never happen" to "it's possible" ever since Abbott screwed up the response to the winter freeze and Cruz was caught retreating. like someone else pointed out, Beto wasn't far behind last time, and now Allred is ahead by one point. Paxton wouldn't be making so many aggressive attempts to preserve Republican control if they knew they had it in the bag. they're desperate, which means they can see things aren't going their way anymore. safe to say it's way, way too soon to make any bets. but it's not so unlikely that it _can't_ happen, just that it's a hard struggle due to how many walls they're throwing down to stop the blue wave, so it might take a while. circling back on topic though, i would _love_ to see Texas or Florida flip, because if anything that sends a LOUD message that there's a lot more joyful warriors than they could have ever hoped to prevent from voting

I'm staying alert to the news, and I'm choosing to turn my energy towards action instead of what-ifs. When I wake up on Nov. 6th I want to know that I did EVERYTHING I could to win this."

Hi Guys! I'm from Indiana! I think it's very important to turn my state BLUE again! We are currently purple!! But Obama was able to flip a red state such as Indiana BLUE!! He won that election by a LANDSLIDE!! My point is small cities and towns like the ones that name up Indiana are the pulse that signifys to swing voters that if we Midwest voters are confident in a candidate, it MUST be OK!!!! Obama visited my city TWICE! He held a rally in our stadium!! He visited our most conservative college campus to talk directly with contractors working on a building project fir the campus! It made a difference!! Incidentally Trump in his winning year, also visited our city several times before he won his primary bid and his presidency! My Point Is VP Harris has got to add Evansville IN to her trail!! She's got to visit!! She's trailing 45 in our polls by a small percentage. But she needs ti close that GAP. It's the difference between eking out a win in the electoral college, and a precise LANDSLIDE VICTORY.!! Leave NO room fir accusations of stealing the VOTE!! So if ANY of you have connections or influence to her campaign managers and advisors. PLEASE RESPECTFULLY PASS THIS ON!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🗳🗳🗳

Welcome, welcome, welcome! I love the enthusiasm! While none of us volunteers likely have that kind of influence with the campaign, I can urge you to get involved with your state channel (I see you have already joined it!) and get involved as much as you can here with phone banking, texting, or other outreach activities.

That is an interesting article. That said, we are not allowing downloadable files like pdfs, because they can contain viruses. The link you provided IS fine, however, because the donate button is only part of the site navigation -- the page itself is not asking for donations. So no need to spell it out. Would you please delete your original post, and re-post with just the active link? (no need to spell it out)

I agree with <@919266668574810122> it’s critical that the campaign stands strongly and openly in enthusiastic support of trans folks. It’s vital strategically and, more importantly, it’s the right thing to do. It scares me when trans folk are targeted as it threatens my family. I’m a “Mamala” to trans kids and stuff like this ad makes us less safe. One of the major reasons that I am giving my time to this campaign is that I believe Kamala will protect my kids’ right to be who they are. I’m glad to be part of this campaign, and I believe that it supports trans rights, AND sometimes I wish the support was louder. 🏳️⚧️

The NYT poll is outlier this cycle. They are not in line with the other polls. I don't get worked up about one poll but if multiple polls were saying the same thing I would then be concerned.

Plus polls in general don’t take into account new turnout bc they’re weighted to likely voters so all the first time voters Harris is bringing in aren’t as much on the radar- and they’ve been weighted towards republicans since dobbs
2024-09-23T13:59:52.671+00:00 by Uriel Berman (FL) [ urielberman1.3 ]
agreed the majority of the polls have shown us either tied or slightly behind in those states
2024-09-23T14:00:05.171+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
Young people don’t answer phone polling as much either so it’s weighted towards older voters as well

The race is close and most of the polls fall within the margin of error. They could be overestimating Harris or Trump. It’s best to always keep pulling our hardest in this tug-a-war over voters.

We don't get many canvassers in my neighborhood but I know various groups organize to head to our nearest swing state. And that seems to be amping up right about now. So perhaps that article is just looking too early at the activity.

No one is proposing anyone stop pulling our hardest but some people work better in a mindset of confidence as opposed to one of anxiety over polls. I think it’s important that we not let every bad poll hurt morale

I don't know if it's more prevalent this cycle versus previous cycles but it's a good thing to be aware of. I believe I first saw this sort of thing occur in later 2001/early 2002 so it's been a fact of civic life for at least that long. I wouldn't let the fear settle in. Just keep a close eye on your surroundings and if you see something, say something.

If someone’s conducting a good poll they should be weighting their responses if their sample isn’t completely representative (like counting responses from young voters more if their sample includes a disproportionate amount of older voters), but there being less young people in the sample does still mean those numbers will be less accurate

An important contribution to the discussion about whether Trump is/not a fascist. (Spoiler: Not quite but he's still a major threat to democracy and freedom -- focus there, not on whether he meets criteria). Ultimately, the article concludes that Trump is not a fascist, but rather a cynical and erratic politician who could potentially enable the rise of fascism if he is re-elected. The author argues that good government is the only guarantee against the worst form of politics returning, and that a victory for Trump could be a cause of 21st-century fascism, not because he is a fascist, but because he doesn't know how to govern. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/21/is-donald-trump-a-fascist?

How is that Montana Secretary of State Christie Jacobsen isn’t sitting in a jail cell right now for subverting our elections ? She left Kamala Harris off the online voting ballots sent out to our troops overseas and registered American voters overseas . They’re claiming it was a “ glitch in the system “ and that is laughable. This was either gross misconduct or it was intentionally done.

I think that the thing about fascism is it’s very particularist to each country’s history- so national socialism looked very different from Italian fascism which looks different to contemporary American fascism. In a sense the distinction doesn’t matter but I do think fascism is a vibe more than an ironclad generalizable ideology
2024-09-23T15:41:18.655+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
I think that it makes sense that American fascism isn’t openly desirous of a totalitarian state because American authoritarianism unlike euro authoritarianism has always centered around shrinking federal power to enable local tyrannies

I love her statement:"I understand why young people are really angry, and really hurting,” Fonda said. “What I want to say to them is: ‘Do not sit this election out, no matter how angry you are. Do not vote for a third party, no matter how angry you are. Because that will elect somebody who will deny you any voice in the future of the United States … If you really care about Gaza, vote to have a voice, so you can do something about it. And then, be ready to turn out into the streets, in the millions, and fight for it." great answer for non-voting/third party voters.

Wallace ran as an independent against Nixon in 1968 under the “American Independent” party, winning some former confederate states. RFK jr was running under their banner in some states to gain ballot access

Yes, his program ended up absorbed by the republicans with Reagan as well

That’s true. Southern strategy and Reagan campaigning on “state’s rights” at a lynching site. And there’s a recording of Reagan calling Nixon and using a racial slur, which made Nixon laugh
2024-09-23T18:14:19.28+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
In the 76 primary Reagan explicitly said that George Wallace democrats could find a home in his Republican Party

The invisible bridge by Rick perlstein has a lot of info on how openly racist Reagan was before he softened his image- in that same primary he also harshly criticized Gerald ford for helping to pressure the whites supremacist state of Rhodesia to democratize and end white rule

Because it’s a crime to interfere with our Presidential Elections. Especially when you are a sitting Secretary of State.

Yes. Let "good" polls spur you on, and disregard polls you don't like. If you ask most people, they've been either cooking for the family or watching football. Polls don't mean much until Oct 20 or 25, if then.

divorce rates have been steadily rising for over a decade, so many kids have parents that are divorced or have stepparents. having a family in the WH who has stepparents, but also _loving_ stepparents, will mean such a difference for those kids, too

Not only loving stepparents but a functional coparenting arrangement with little animosity is big for children of divorce

Hi there. Thank you for being engaged. I understand how important this topic is. As a former resident of Missouri, I understand the complexities of this, However, we must keep this a safe and positive place where the issues are focused on electing the Vice President and Democrats up and down the ballot. I encourage you to turn this passion into action by signing up for volunteer opportunities at (https://events.democrats.org/) as a result, the post has been removed.

<@884234266215608371> Though this channel is specifically for campaign related news stories, I know personally how anxious and even helpless these stories make me feel. What I've been trying to do is channel those nerves into something good and use that energy to put in some more volunteer time with the campaign. If you have any interest in phone banking, we've just launched a new program where you can phone bank on your own schedule. Check it out and see if it's something that might help you too https://events.democrats.org/event/704955/

You know, that's okay! We all have ways to contribute, and phone banking is impactful but it's totally fair to feel like it's not for you. 🙂 It's so fantastic that you gave it a try. I'd love to hear more about your text banking plans this week, though!

This is for all the callers who helped build the rally in Greensboro, North Carolina. This video is about Kamala. Starting around 10:20 is what I would call Kamala at her best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsaE_UDBmZY&list=TLPQMjMwOTIwMjQz-lC_9u0nvA&index=9

The USA article below that says that there was no Fox poll with those numbers (which are clearly inaccurate, as most veterans will likely vote for Trump) and that someone made a Facebook post that had those numbers and falsely attributed them to a Fox poll

It's good evidence that polls are imperfect and can be misleading (or even made up) - but luckily, we're here to focus on votes, not polls! Have any of you been able to participate in any activities this week? Thinking about phone or text banking? We have some new events going on. It's great to turn that anxiety over polls into something productive.

I texted earlier. I posted the pictures in the texting nice things channel already but I got to talk to some pretty cool people on Saturday. One person was in a group of former Alameda County public defenders who support Kamala, many of whom fought her in court back when she worked in the San Francisco DA office. Another person had worked on many democratic campaigns in the past
2024-09-24T04:30:46.898+00:00 by Madison • [Mod] [ madison7026 ]
That's amazing! I've been so inspired hearing all the successes from phone banking. It's amazing how many different people are supporting (or considering supporting) her.

I think in general it’s tough to use a tool that was designed in a time when everyone had landlines and wasn’t screening unknown callers. It just creates a lot of bias! So I’m grateful that the polls are trending in the right direction for sure but also doing things to be sure we win! 😊
2024-09-24T04:56:39.151+00:00 by Joseph1697 [ joe4334 ]
It didn't fit with everything I have experienced. Once people get the Trump bug, they are reluctant to change and usually double and triple down. That's why I don't argue with anyone. I'd rather work looking for someone who doesn't vote than someone who needs years of deprogramming. If they're that far gone, going to be that stubborn, just let them go. I can't do anything for a mule.

No, but this group alone has made literal millions of calls! Which is amazing if you think about it. Even if a tiny fraction of those calls charge someone’s heart or mind, that’s one more vote in our column.

I think someone posted that yesterday. It was a summary of the CNN poll from a Bluesky poster. The questions also included capitalism, socialism, Project 2025. Same poll?

2024-09-24T21:00:13.087+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ]
538 is a meta-analysis poll. It takes lots of different polls and averages them out, weighing the different polls based on things such as if they're biased and if they have a history of being accurate or not

Our Floridian group on this server has been doing great, forcing action in a state that was presumed red a few months ago is not easy but volunteers did it. Trump’s camp has to do something in FL, otherwise they risk us taking control

The other super important thing about flipping FL and/or TX is that if we can flip it and keep it blue, it eliminates the EC advantage for Republicans… so they are more likely to want to give it up. That’s the right path forward for representative democracy!

Not only that, flipping either one gives a huge advantage to democrats in the presidential race from that point forward. They’d more or less have to give it up at that point if they want any chance at winning

The negative news cycle can be overwhelming and it’s so easy to get stuck in it. But there’s a way to move from staring at the dumpster fire to putting it out. Help us convert that same frustration into votes at the polls. Which shift do you prefer from our selection here?

At the lowest 95% or higher should be safe imo. Them labeling 97% as likely makes the map kinda wild

i understand, since numbers are more concrete, and much easier to digest than anecdotal evidence. a lot of work, including past elections, economic success, and public opinion are also factored in. but polls can change, and as we saw in the debate, a _lot_ can change all at once. polls are, at most, a snapshot -- often 3-5 days later if not more -- of the _recent past_ opinions of a small sample of people. they're not at all reliable for predictions, except as a "if it happened NOW, these are the likely breakdowns" and definitely _not_ "this is how it will go in the near future". if anything, polls affect voters, not voters affecting polls. at most, i'd give polls a "this is fun for thought" and little else in terms of weight. encourage people _not_ to rely on polls to feed their voting decisions, and to rely on activism instead - such as phonebanking.

What do you mean by “polls feed voting decisions?” Obviously i wouldn’t tell people to skip voting because they live in Indiana but I also wouldn’t want to spend a ton of money trying to win South Carolina when it’s not going to be the tipping point state

# Kamala Harris said: Can you feel… “the contagious power of hope across the room and all across the country -- the anticipation, the energy, the exhilaration of being on the cusp of a brighter day. The chance to vanquish the demons of fear, division and hate.” We deserve better. And, we’re here to fight.

I suggest that you watch or listen to today's podcast, Social Contract with Joe Walsh. Every Tuesday, Carl Allen discusses the polls in detail. He forecasts that the Harris-Walz ticket has a 66% chance of winning the election, but the only way we can make it happen is by remembering it is all gas, no brake. Let's do this.

Hey there - welcome! Definitely voter registration on campuses is a thing.

Agreed. The last governor in Massachusetts is a Republican and he won by a bigger margin than Warren did in 2018. I voted for both of them. I will do split voting again this cycle as well. You can't win as Republican in Massachusetts running on a MAGA platform. Plus love the fact that Harris was a prosecutor.

I’ve seen republicans sadly demonized by certain segments of the internet. They’re not all the MAGA stereotype, and even those that are should not be demonized. Many republicans are here doing the work, for ALL Americans, not just democrats and republicans for Harris <:blueheart:1252803082849488956>

Harris's four key pillars of her "opportunity economy" to appeal to undecided voters: 1) Lowering Costs for the Middle Class: She emphasizes cutting taxes for over 100 million middle-class families, lowering the costs of housing, child care, and prescription drugs. Harris also plans to offer $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers and tackle corporate price gouging. 2) Supporting Small Businesses: Harris aims to make it easier for small businesses to grow by increasing the tax deduction for startups from $5,000 to $50,000 and providing low-interest loans. Her goal is to help create 25 million new small business applications during her first term. 3) Investing in Future Industries: She stresses the importance of leading in industries like clean energy, AI, and biomanufacturing. Harris plans to invest in these sectors and retool American factories to strengthen communities, create union jobs, and drive innovation. 4) Fair Economic Partnership: Harris advocates for a balanced partnership between businesses and workers, with rules that hold companies accountable. She promotes apprenticeship programs and skills training to help workers thrive in the modern economy. In summary, Harris focuses on reducing costs, boosting small businesses, investing in future industries, and ensuring fair treatment for workers.

By contrast, Harris notes the following in Trump's positions: 1) Tax Cuts for the Wealthy: Harris argues that Trump’s policies primarily benefited billionaires and large corporations, giving them trillions in tax cuts while raising taxes on middle-class families by nearly $4,000 a year. 2) Failing the Middle Class: She claims Trump has no intention of growing the middle class, focusing instead on enriching himself and the wealthiest Americans. Harris positions her plan as one that will help everyday workers, unlike Trump’s agenda. 3) Job Losses and Manufacturing: Harris points out that almost 200,000 manufacturing jobs were lost under Trump’s presidency, even before the pandemic. She criticizes his promises to bring back jobs, using examples like the carrier plant in Indianapolis, where jobs were offshored to Mexico during his term. 4) Small Business Neglect: She references an article from a leading expert on small businesses titled "Does Donald Trump Hate Small Businesses?"—with the answer being "yes"—because Trump slashed small business programs and raised borrowing costs, making it harder for them to succeed. 5) Weak on China: Harris says Trump was repeatedly "played" by China, failing to address trade imbalances and offshoring. In contrast, she promises to take strong action to protect American jobs and industries.

"He's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot." --Lindsey Graham (R-SC) "We shouldn't have listened to him." --Nikki Haley (Gov-SC, former) Simply unbelievable that anyone would take their chances with him. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/09/26/opinion/donald-trump-personality-history.html

The underlying implication that women have to hide or justify any decision that should be our right to make and be proud of as citizens of this democracy is one of the core facets of why this campaign and the work we are doing is so important. AND- women have been figuring out ways to protect and support women in the face of patriarchal systems and structures since time immemorial. So we call, and we text, and we canvas, and we vote, and we demand better of the people we put into office.

similar but also completely different situation for me: my ID still has my birth name and gender, and my photo from before i started transition. i look nothing like that anymore and i'd honestly love to never see that ID again. but because of the state of things (literally and figuratively), i might have to adjust for voting day. as much as i understand i have voter protections/rights, i'm still aware my state isn't all that supportive. i'm only dealing with it for one day (to vote) but it still feels god awful. well, voting for a future that none of us have to do this just to feel safe helps. one step forward at a time.

An action brought by an aggrieved candidate for president or vice president is guaranteed an expedited review. According to the law, the venue for such an action shall be the United States district court of the federal judicial district where the state capital is located. The action shall be heard by a three-judge judicial panel consisting of two circuit court of appeals judges and one district court judge. The court shall expedite the disposition of the action, in accordance with deadlines established by the law. Any appeal from the court's judgment may be heard directly by the Supreme Court on an expedited basis, and the court's final order on remand must occur at the latest on the day before the electors' meeting.

replying to 2024-09-26T16:42:12.782+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) I hate this. The fact that women have to hide their votes out of fear of retaliation by others around them doesn’t sit well for me. But if they have to do this, I guess you gotta do what you got to do. But the context behind why these are made is sickening
Having to hide your vote from your spouse is nauseating. What sort of life is that? How can you have a partnership when your spouse can't even respect your right to choose a candidate?

replying to 2024-09-26T17:26:59.892+00:00 by Jennifer • [Lead Mod] The underlying implication that women have to hide or justify any decision that should be our right to make and be proud of as citizens of this democracy is one of the core facets of why this campaign and the work we are doing is so important. AND- women have been figuring out ways to protect and support women in the face of patriarchal systems and structures since time immemorial. So we call, and we text, and we canvas, and we vote, and we demand better of the people we put into office.

Thanks for letting me know. What should the disclaimer say? I thought this documentary, just released yesterday, was a powerful warning about the effects of Christian Nationalism. Please let me know

Thank you, <@1275616253397958721> for being open to this. I haven't watched the whole documentary, but I can say this isn't about the warning that is the intended messaging, more some of the content that may be re-traumatizing for some folks. Maybe a disclaimer like "Content warning: This video contains detailed accounts of traumatic events" so that viewers can decide whether to engage or not

Something about their wives and daughters abortion rights and healthcare. Even if they’re pro life the Trump abortion bans are awful for women’s healthcare and cause obgyn's to leave red states

I found an article on the Otherwords blog by Institute for Policy Studies -- not linking due to campaign finance, but will share a quote: *More and more men are stepping up and joining **Men4Choice**, a national organization dedicated to recruiting men in the fight for safe and legal abortion. The group hosts community education events with young pro-choice men and organizes Get Out the Vote events mobilizing hundreds of male allies for contacting voters. “It’s not just about abortion. It’s about freedom. It’s about power,” founder Oren Jacobson told the Post. A prominent ally is second gentleman **Doug Emhoff**, who helps the group with outreach to broaden their membership."* Men4Choice group has a resources tab on their website that you might be able to get some info and text to add to such notes.

The ones that stay are often put in difficult ethical dilemmas where they need to choose between their own freedom and the life of their patients as performing banned procedures can sometimes carry criminal penalties for the patient and/or doctor. Who would want to practice medicine in an environment like that?

For replying to news & social media about Kamala in AZ today... HOW BIDEN & HARRIS HAVE FOUGHT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CALIFORNIA. As California AG, Kamala Harris went after drug gangs, human traffickers and cartels that smuggled guns, drugs, and human beings across the US-Mexico border. CENTRAL AMERICA ROOT CUASES. In 2021, VP Harris led the effort to address root causes of illegal immigration to the US from Central America, negotiating $4B in direct assistance and over $5.2B in US private-public investment. With economic recovery 2022-23, encounters at the Southern border from all countries increased, but the share of encounters from Mexico & Central America decreased by 30% points. BIPARTISAN BILL KILLED BY TRUMP. In Feb 2024, Trump urged Republicans to REJECT the bipartisan immigration bill that included permanent restrictions on asylum while significantly increasing border agents, asylum adjudicators and immigration judges. The bipartisan bill (supported by ~20 Rep Senators) was DEMANDED and NEGOTIATED by Republicans who tied the bill to a Ukraine aid package, but Trump killed the deal for his own political gain. BIDEN-HARRIS ASYLUM RESTRICTIONS. Between Feb and Jun 2024, the Biden-Harris administration developed and executed a plan for DHS and DOJ to suspend the entry of most migrants crossing the US-Mexico border illegally, virtually shutting down asylum processing. The Biden-Harris plan differs from Trump’s plan by providing exemptions for humanitarian reasons such as victims of human trafficking, unaccompanied minors and those with severe medical emergencies.The result was ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS FELL TO A 4-YEAR LOW. More recently, Biden has secured additional funding for the most significant increase in border agents in ten years. COMPREHENSIVE REFORM. As President, Harris will bring back the bipartisan bill and sign it into law. And she will push for comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.

Oof I had no idea they were trying to take credit for this. I know it's not true since I have family members who depend on insulin and stay up-to-date with the prices. I just found Trump's post on it: “Low INSULIN PRICING was gotten for millions of Americans by me, and the Trump Administration, not by Crooked Joe Biden. He had NOTHING to do with it,” Trump wrote on social media. “It was all done long before he so sadly entered office. All he does is try to take credit for things done by others, in this case, ME!”

WAGES ARE UP, PRICES ARE DOWN, and the ECONOMY LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN 2017-2020 (The Trump Years) The August PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) price index, the cost of goods and services in the U.S. economy, rose 0.1% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.2%, down from 2.5% in July and the lowest since February 2021. Meanwhile the GDP for the 3rd quarter grew to 3.0% while WAGES during the Biden-Harris years have grow 4.6% doubling inflation which has dropped to 2.2% as note above. AND HARRIS-WALZ HAVE A REAL PLAN (not a concept or a tariff) TO LOWER FOOD PRICES EVEN MORE. TAKE A LOOK...

I’m from San Diego too. I thought Kamala’s AZ border speech was excellent too. She struck a good balance between addressing the need for border security and protecting human rights too, especially for refugee applicants. There are so many of her points that you can use while canvassing. Thanks for being in this good fight! We have a great candidate, we just need to help her get elected!

As someone who studied psychometrics, political polling annoys me to no end. It suffers not only from the "statistical noise" that this essay mentions, but also from self-selection bias, question bias, response bias, and enormous margins of error. Quite frankly, even from a statistical standpoint, most polls have such a tiny sample size(500 - 1000) as to render it non-representative. Then they "weight" them to correct for perceived past polling errors! Add to that the genuinely baffling hypothesis that a large number of people can be swayed on fundamentally held preferences -- something social science and psychology in particular shows is not only highly unlikely but also that efforts to actually change someone's mind are frequently counter-productive and lead to entrenchment -- and what you wind up with is little more than fodder for media pundits. We should focus our efforts on driving out our base and increasing voter participation.

Quite frankly, even from a statistical standpoint, most polls have such a tiny sample size(500 - 1000) as to render it non-representative. Then they "weight" them to correct for perceived past polling errors! Add to that the genuinely baffling hypothesis that a large number of people can be swayed on fundamentally held preferences -- something social science and psychology in particular shows is not only highly unlikely but also that efforts to actually change someone's mind are frequently counter-productive and lead to entrenchment -- and what you wind up with is little more than fodder for media pundits. We should focus our efforts on driving out our base and increasing voter participation.
Thank you for sharing! As a data person myself, I agree that I do not put weight in polls. I am all gas through the 5th and ignoring every poll I see

There’s so much news all around us these days! Did you know phone banking is one of **the** most impactful ways you can help elect Kamala Harris if you are outside of a battleground state? It’s easier than many people think, and often fun!

He's practicing a lot and has Pete B playing Vance. Vance is not stupid and he's perfected all of the "abuser communication techniques" so I'm staying hopeful but not over-confident on this one.

The debate rules are also crap, no fact-checking and Vance gets the last word. Given JDV is totally cool with making up stuff as he goes along, I suspect Walz and Co. are figuring out how to manage that and not spend the whole time countering fictions.

Yes, luckily everybody is super-talented and Walz is so likeable while JD Vance can't go 10 seconds without attacking people. His popularity ratings are in the pits.

The store was a little backed up on shipping due to high demand, but you should get a notice when it ships. Sometimes when it comes to these things, you may need to check your junk mail or any other tabs you might have (updates tab on gmail for example)

Yes-they do. My stuff took about a month from ordering to shipping and I received a "backlogged due to demand" form letter when I enquired-but they did send my merchandise a few weeks after. If people want signs, I always tell them to contact their local Dem HQ. Ours had yard signs for free.

That might be nice to add too so we can all learn how to discuss these important news items in terms of the campaign when we are making phone calls to voters or online discussions. It's so important to stay up on the news, but we want to provide info that our volunteers can use in their volunteer work to move the needle with more voters! Appreciate you helping us to bring more info into our persuasive discussions.

Part of the deregulation was that usda inspectors couldn’t visit meat plants as much so it might a “simple” proposal too

That's excellent. I'm glad to see it is being investigated, though I wish the justice dept moved faster. I've found the whole story picture is persuasive to voters. *Trump did this thing to help his buddies and it is having real repercussions in your community or in areas like yours. Democrats or Harris/Walz recognize this problem and have a plan to fix it (or are trying to fix it). Would you be willing to join us and work toward fixing this issue?* Thanks for helping complete the picture. 💪 Speaking of which, have you signed up for a phone bank today??? I think you would connect to voters by speaking about these issues.

Awesome articles and shares! Thank you. Quick reminder to keep them Harris campaign-oriented, only share news from articles, interviews, and socials. Please leave room for people to respond and let us know what you'd like to chat about with the links you share here. The idea is to generate conversation, discuss topics, and support one another and the campaign. Non-official events can go in <#1268426751164551199> and state channels only (we must move NE events to this channel and remove any events with fundraising attached per campaign finance law). Please don't spam too many articles in a short time/all day. Thank you!

Pretty hard to see how the Uncommitted group thinks a Trump presidency would benefit them. It's time to face the fact that only one party is the least bit persuadable on this issue, and it's not the GOP.

Leon had suspended WDfH's account, but a backlash led to its reinstatement. You might contact the organizers to let them know about your situation—others retweeting the same info might be impacted too, and it could lead to some news coverage like the WDfH suspension did. The co-organizers are on LinkedIn and their Mobilize page has an email address. This group is generating a LOT of backlash because the MAGAs and incels are very bothered that white men might support a Black woman and treat women respectfully. One of the co-organizers wrote a post about it recently.

Boy! That's a tough question. When I watched the presidential debate, I was fired up for days. You might consider watching the VP debate as fuel for your volunteer efforts that follow. You might also get some messaging you can use in talking with others.

Am I the only person feeling like the campaign would get more positive PR donating 1 million or so each to hurricane Helene recovery efforts in NC, GA, SC, and FL than it would running ads in those states?

Hi <@1275164246291910707>, The hurricane hurt a lot of people and no-one here is trying to campaign off that. Trump making it an issue is not something we have any control over and FEMA is doing it's job. If you'd like to send comments directly to the campaign, please submit a comment on https://kamalaharris.com/contact-us/. We are here to volunteer to get Harris/Walz elected and hopefully more dems down ballot. What volunteer activity can you work on to help? I hear that you are frustrated, but I'm asking you to channel that frustration into action that can help.

the Miami Herald [released a piece against Project 2025](https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/editorials/article292970334.html) before the hurricane, detailing that Project 2025 would make preparing for these hurricanes -- and predicting them -- either privatized or left the states to fend for themselves. that, alone, is moving the needle but i don't think this conversation is going to go anywhere at this point. Kamala already spoke about the efforts she and Biden plan to make, and moves are being made.

I guess what I'm getting at is that I want to see more than her saying she and Biden have told Fema to help. I have friends and family in the Carolinas who are politically informed, liberal voters. They hadn't even heard of the emergency declarations. What I'm getting at here is that the actions taken are a good start, but the messaging is failing as people are not hearing it

There's a large opportunity here to distinguish herself and the campaign with its empathy vs Trump's narcissism. Have her meet with community and state leaders in the states and ask them what more can be done to help.

I mean maybe they have deemed it a high burden on the affected areas for them to go there. In terms of security needed and most resources needed for clean up efforts. There a lot of reasons that a visit like that can not be realistic logistically

<@345245681918803969> As part of my "regular" job, I work with emergency managers, and there are really strict protocols regarding aid sent in times of disaster. FEMA is working quickly and effectively, but right now, the scale of the damage is such that nobody has been able to do a true needs assessment. Roads are out so there's no way in or out, no power, no cell service, etc. I guarantee the Biden administration is handling this in the same way it has handled other disasters, by following protocols and providing help as requested by governors. I absolutely guarantee the white house and leaders are in close contact. But NC is really not a place for political campaigns right now - as Anthony said, the logistics take away from rescue/recovery efforts. But what IS really clear is how awful the Republican playbook is on FEMA, the national hurricane center, and climate change. Have you been phone banking or participating in online engagement to get the word out about the importance of a Harris administration compared to the awfulness of Project 2025?

“The White House said on Sunday that Harris would visit communities devastated by Hurricane Helene “as soon as it is possible without disrupting emergency response operations.” The storm has killed more than 90 people and brought disastrous flooding.”

The best thing for politicians to do at this point is to get out of the way and let disaster specialists work to help the people who are dealing with this devastation. And I know, based on the Biden administration's quick and effective response to other natural disasters and situations like the Keystone Bridge, that they are hard at work on making sure folks in that area get the support they need. It's the role of good government when government is working well: to help people when they need a hand. So it's truly critical that we elect a government that wants to keep on playing that role instead of basically leaving Americans to fend for themselves in times of tragedy.
2024-09-30T04:48:06.117+00:00 by Melissa Ashley [ penguin384 ]
I grew up in Asheville/WNC (but live in MA now), what I'm hearing from family and friends that live there (who have finally been able to make contact), parts of the area are still inaccessible. I think Biden is doing what he can by dispatching FEMA. Politicians going there actually won't help, but they can send their support other ways.

Agree on campaign focus and long view around Helene/disasters. But I think the mismatch of where some few-millions of voters are in recent impact and seeing connection to campaign/Harris which <@345245681918803969> is mentioning is worth recognizing as being more than zero. As folks mentioned: informing about broader contrasts for 2025-29 pres. term would be helpful for folks that have focused on it. To that end I see no content in the reach app videos/one-pagers or in discord meme-vault. Not for mass media IMO. I’d worry some messages might land poorly so close to the disaster but some info in more digestible form could be useful (DoI,NOAA,paper-towel-tossing,…) to help draw contrast & inform might be nice to have at hand. —— Also. Water trucks with yardsigns taped on them would be fine too and I believe compliant with campaign rules but the various governmental institutions instead of campaign are necessarily the prime source for that across all areas. But maybe some key gap existed and can be filled quickly… could be a nice bit of earned media…. I’d hope/think a local campaign would do it though. Like with covid ppe you sure don’t need dozens of “extra” buyers trying to pump resources into an area. But if congressional candidate X knows Bob’s water which FEMA&others are NOT deploying and can bring in a couple trucks on short notice… that could be great earned media.

Also, NYT are STILL criticizing her for "no policy details" and not doing enough interviews. That's arguably misinformation. In case anyone here missed it or is new to this Discord, last week the campaign posted an 82-page document just on the economy at https://kamalaharris.com/issues/. I'd bet that more such docs are forthcoming. And she's doing more interviews since the debate.

Look I don't disagree but the fact is that NYT is always harder on Democrats than Republicans. Lastly, the NYT isn't the only one that has been guilty of sanewashing and treating this like a normal race. And people who work at the NYT are right leaning anyway as well.

Good morning News Fans! ☀️ It's a new day....36 days to the election ☀️ Just a morning reset...this channel is to discuss news **in ways that connect and uplift one another to do our volunteer work here.** Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the historic impact of Helene. We support the recovery and restoration efforts, which are sure to be long and complex. We respect that FEMA and state officials will tell us what they need most so we can respond with our best. We won't solve national or global issues, or **win this election**, by debating FEMA response or the media. Please, take serious concerns to your Team Leads (if it affects your work here and your responses to volunteers). They are the ones who can inform us on official campaign messaging and direct any anxiety into productive action. Also, it's a great idea to practice Self-Care by limiting our focus on news in these final weeks. Let's not activate the negative feedback loop that's so difficult to stop. Instead, let's activate what we can control...contact with voters! We have just 36 DAYS to GO to Nov. 5th. **In such a close election, the only way we win is to be burning up those phones, finding those fence sitters, and turning them into Harris voters!** Thank you!

As I hop on this morning to catch up on this channel, instead of positive Harris news, I once again find a stream of posts criticizing what the Harris campaign is or is not doing. I find this very demoralizing. We are here to uplift the campaign. I would wager that none of the posters here have ever ran a presidential campaign -- I know I have not. So I trust that the extremely capable and seasoned team that the Harris team has around her know what they are doing and I just stay in my lane. Volunteer. That's why we are here, correct? We are volunteers. Supporters. I know the Mods are trying to be nice to everyone. But I am frustrated with this channel or the General convo channel because folks keep taking it over to air their grievances with the campaign or to present what the other side is doing. This close to the election the volunteer community should be more disciplined. Anything here can be put out in the general social media community to show "Dems in disarray." We need to stay focused.

New economy-related move: "In a rollout featuring Harris, the Small Business Administration is easing the terms for a program that lets employers refinance debt incurred for land, buildings and equipment. The agency expects the changes, which follow a series of similar revisions to the program over the last few years, will make it easier for small businesses to meet eligibility requirements and to potentially lower the costs of their loans by thousands of dollars. The SBA backs small business loans as a way to reduce risks to banks and other kinds of lenders and expand access to financing." https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/30/harris-small-business-loans-00181573

IMO-it seems different sections have different rules. Some mods aren’t allowing any negative posts while others do. I’ve been advocating for a general feedback section where volunteers can share feedback. Basically we can give feedback but we don’t know the total picture. I recommend some folks take a breather and unwind if it gets too much-I know I have and will in the future. JMO<:harris_walz_blue:1274776851805372508> 😊

We understand the frustrations. We are trying to balance allowing everyone to feel heard and discuss the news (in this channel), while still keeping conversations primarily positive and campaign focused. I appreciate your advice to take a breather when needed, so we can focus on the work ahead in the next 36 days!

replying to 2024-09-30T03:47:51.627+00:00 by Madison • [Mod] The best thing for politicians to do at this point is to get out of the way and let disaster specialists work to help the people who are dealing with this devastation. And I know, based on the Biden administration's quick and effective response to other natural disasters and situations like the Keystone Bridge, that they are hard at work on making sure folks in that area get the support they need. It's the role of good government when government is working well: to help people when they need a hand. So it's truly critical that we elect a government that wants to keep on playing that role instead of basically leaving Americans to fend for themselves in times of tragedy.
Unfortunately, we need to be conscious of the fact that if Biden or Harris don't show up, the media will say that they don't care! And the local folks will never know that all the help that they received came from the Federal Gov't. Red State governors willfully avoid mentioning Biden and take credit for everything!

President Biden addressed this in his speech this morning, and also on X. He is doing the right thing by not visiting and diverting attention and resources from where they are needed.

I understand that Biden doesn't need to go now. But these are red states. His statements won't be seen by the population or shown by the local TV/radio. They will just show the governor! Sinclair Broadcast and conservative radio dominate these areas. Democrat presidents and governors have to go out of their way to reach these folks. They live in a FoxNews/Sinclair bubble.

Biden is doing the right thing but holding off going, it will be drain on limited resources if he goes down now. Even though I'm not there now, as mentioned in an earlier comment I grew up in Asheville, so have I personal connections, family and friends who live there (some of which I haven't been able to make contact with) If he or Harris were to go now it would disrupt rescue/ emergency operations.

PBS Frontline aired an outstanding program a few days ago called The Choice 2024. (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/interview-collection/the-choice-2024/) The main 2-hr program details Harris and Trump, their background, successes, and failures. PBS conducted nearly 40 interviews with people close to both candidates. I've been watching the one with Brad Parscale, Trump's former social media guru. Tough to watch, but contains info we'd be stupid to ignore. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/interview/brad-parscale-2/

Can't see the full article due a paywall, but it'll hopefully be reported elsewhere: "Morgan Stanley economists estimated that implementation of Republican tariff-hike proposals would drive up inflation and impose a hit to US economic growth that undercuts employment. 'If the proposed tariffs are fully implemented, we estimate a near-term acceleration in the inflation rate, and a delayed drag in GDP growth,' Morgan Stanley economists led by Seth Carpenter wrote in a note Monday." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-30/morgan-stanley-warns-of-70-000-us-monthly-jobs-hit-from-tariffs?leadSource=reddit_wall

That's great! Glad he isn't trying to get in too soon. It can really complicate immediate relief efforts to have a sitting president try to visit a disaster area too soon after the event.

i love seeing all this news in <#1252676126698897429> . governors going out and reporting that the Biden administration _is_ helping, and Biden's efforts to reach out, Kamala's compassion on full display at her rallies, and wisely, they're not trying to interfere except to make sure the communication remains open so the people on the ground (and in the air) can get to work. i was there when Ike hit Galveston, and it was awful. we got lucky, our street was the oldest so our power lines were underground. we had power back the next morning. but the rest of the neighborhood, and most of our side of town, was completely without power. people were sharing generators. we loaned ours to a family friend. one of my dad's coworkers had a tree fall on their house, so we took them in until they could move into a temporary housing while their new house was built. it took a _long time_ to recover. eventually we did, slowly but surely. but there were folks besides us who needed help much more than we did. hurricanes are HUGE, and this one devastated multiple states, in some places huge chunks of them. i can relate to frustration when we want our loved ones to be safe. i'm betting they're doing everything they can, especially since above being Dems or Repubs, they're Americans, too. covering that much ground is going to be hard, and it's going to take time, and it has to be done in steps so everyone's coordinating together. we got this, they got this. ♥

Hi, Newsies! I want to take a minute and say that I hear you. We hear you. Many of us share the same concerns you have. And we know that bad news gets clicks, it gets attention. Bad news is infectious and debating is not tolerated. But we can choose where we focus our energy. We won't solve national or global issues, or **win this election**, by debating or with negative responses. Please, take serious concerns to your Team Leads (if it affects your work here and your responses to volunteers). They are the ones who can inform us on official campaign messaging and direct any anxiety into productive action.

Hi friends! Please remember that many of us come from many religious backgrounds or none at all. We want to focus on the things that bring us together. We share many common values like honesty, integrity, kindness. Some people find their religion integral to this, some don't. That's ok. We're a big tent -- let's keep the focus on what we agree on regardless of how we got to those ideas.

On a personal, not moderator, note: I often feel alienated by religious language, but I remind myself that our right to religious freedom means that others can have faith that I do not. And expressing their feelings/beliefs doesn't mean they're trying to force their religion on us. I hope you will reconsider voting! I think that Harris-Walz is much more likely to protect all of our right to choose our own religion, while the other guys seem determined to legislate their idea of Christianity.

I think it will be really important to saturate the web with Tim Walz' positive moments - he made some key points. Vance was very slick and this will help him (he avoided most of the errors he has made in the past), but this won't take away from Walz' positives.

Does anyone have a notes document or debate flow debunking Vance’s claims and/or outlining arguments in defense of Gov. Walz in the order of how things were discussed tonight? I tried to make one but had to stop because I was missing things while typing, but I would love to read what stood out to others in order to strengthen my talking points with conservative family members. I know there were some journalists doing live note taking, but I get frustrated with how much the media often tries to equivocate the two campaigns and would like to get straight to the pro-Walz talking points.

2024-10-02T04:48:39.304+00:00 by howdyfriends (KY) [ apfee2024_81383 ]
Honestly if I were JD "Yale Law School grad" Vance I'd be unhappy with these poll results (adding in CBS' too). Note the large margin of error. Noticing that the media is sane-washing him hardcore, though, focusing on style over substance. Still, a lot of coverage of the final minutes when he dropped the ball on the peaceful transfer of power (including on NYT front page) so hopefully that becomes the takeaway people remember.

Another poll -- CBS favorability. Walz won this one!

Really sickened by the media's coverage of the debate—definite "coastal elites" vibes. Luckily a lot of people completely ignore and don't trust them now (though of course I'd prefer a trustworthy media to what we've currently got). Here's a CBS article with some more data about viewers' reactions and it shows good signs for Walz: 60% favorability (+8% vs. before the debate), viewers thought he's more prepared to be president, did a better job talking about some issues and on issues where they said he didn't, it was only by a few points. No blowout flops. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news-vp-debate-poll-2024/

Also there is a 1-2-3-4 punch manipulation of those groups that JD and Frump are very good at because of their own childhood shame...the author refers to it as a repeated ritual: 1- Frump or JD says something transgressive (ie people eating cats) 2-Pundits shame Frump all over the airwaves 3-Donald becomes the victim (See I'm all ganged up on but thats ok I'll take it for all of you)4- Frump ROARS back at his shamers and that is extermely cathartic for those out there suffering from their own shame. All in all a way to turn Shame to Blame. Democrats relate to steps 1-2 and Republicans relate to steps 3-4. Solution?? Difficult, but intercept at step 1, dont shame but clarify the truth and deflect without judgement/shame to create a competing narrative where you become the listener....(oh that's not true but tell me what you mean about X". I find this a potentially very helpful conversation to hear and use when talking to disengaged or undecided voters.

Newsflash! The BOMBSHELL information in Jack Smith's brief outlines content of conversations with Trump seeking to deny a free and fair election and subvert the rule of law, using insurrection as the last straw. Pence's testimony completely contradicts Vance last night trying to whitewash Trump after he lost the 2020 election.

We have to accept that Vance was slick and seemed level headed. We know the truth but that is the verdict generally. We need to really amplify the Jack Smith brief just released by Judge Chutkin. Bombshell testimony by Pence and others. Directly contradicts Vance's answer last night asserting a "peaceful transfer" of power in 2020.

From new prosecutor filing: A top aide testified that he went into the dining room during the Jan. 6 riot to tell Trump that Pence had been rushed out & the aide wanted Trump to "take action that would ensure Pence's safety." Trump looked at the aide and responded: "So what?"

I always appreciate when news stations and reporters dive into the non-verbal cues during debates. It adds such an interesting layer to the communication! Sometimes, what’s most important is what’s left unsaid.

I caught the friendship bracelets that Tim Walz was wearing. These are not the ones that are on sale on the Harris-Walz website. I'm thinking they have personal or sentimental value beyond the official campaign. I don't see Trump or Vance doing something like this.

Arlie R. Hochschild's discussion of her findings about decoding Trump' "anti-shame ritual" are accurate. They need to be utilized immediately by Harris Campaign staff to update the training being given to all volunteers that are engaging voters. It reminds me of a caller I had this week while phone banking. She said she could tell me why her neighbors and friends in PA were supporting Trump . . . They are angry . . . and Trump sounds like them . . . angry.

I’ve been watching a lot on how the Democratic Party has lost rural America and this is another point that makes sense. The National (and possibly even State) Democratic Party just needs to go out more and speak to them. Small town voters are sometimes more impressionable than you think. I just wish Tim Walz had more time to have these conversations.

One thing I wish would be brought up in the debate and talking points is that Christian Nationalism is the same as fascism. I would be pointing out at every opportunity that there is a very good litmus test for who is telling the truth to America. Jesus told us to treat the immigrant as yourself, not turn them away as the right wants to do. Also not to seek power over others for your own gain, because money and power are idols, and that's exactly what rampant capitalism is. That is what defines and exposes the right. They can't argue it because any true Christian will see it clearly.

It’s sad that “his voters” have been hurt. It’s a tragic event for us all. He also lost “his voters” in the pandemic. When covid first hit it killed red and blue alike. It’s possible initially he thought covid would mostly kill Democrats as it was so bad in cities like New York and Seattle where I am. Once the vaccine arrived blue states and areas were early adapters of the vaccine and kept up with shots more often. Covid deaths then were higher in red states. I’ll leave it to future PolySci majors, Masters thesis, dissertations and books but by killing his base, Drump lost 2020. One study finds “A simple counterfactual analysis suggests that Trump would likely have won re-election if COVID-19 cases had been 5 percent lower. We also find some evidence that COVID-19 incidence had a positive effect on voters’ mobilization, helping Biden win the presidency.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7809554/#:~:text=There%20is%20some%20evidence%20that,they%20are%20also%20quite%20sizable.

I heard they announce $750 in direct payments to help families, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to enough. Some were already mad at the Biden-Harris administration for other issues and unfortunately this just compounded on that. I do hope the communities continue to receive any aid they need from the federal and state governments.

I’m former Floridian and know how slow recovery is (much less that level of damage) but more super public in your face may be needed about what is being done.
Wait until they learn who defunds fema and hurricane relief and won’t lift a finger to fight climate change

Yup but all that just seems like excuses when you are hurting and that area has long been underfunded and the devastation is horrifying.

replying to 2024-10-03T20:47:24.572+00:00 by Jaron Holden (OK) I heard they announce $750 in direct payments to help families, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to enough. Some were already mad at the Biden-Harris administration for other issues and unfortunately this just compounded on that. I do hope the communities continue to receive any aid they need from the federal and state governments.
The $750 is just the initial emergency disbursement for gas groceries hotel room etc. There are many programs to help people but it is a long road.

Striking members of the International Longshoremen’s Association will be back to work at the ports on Friday, two sources told CNN Thursday, as the union and the management group representing shipping lines, terminal operators and port authorities have reached a tentative deal on wages. The sources who spoke with CNN said there is not yet a final agreement on the complete contract. But one of the sources said that the two sides had agreed to extend the contract that had expired Friday until January 15 and have the union members back on the job while the final details are worked out and the agreement is ratified by the rank-and-file.

The workers could reject the tentative deal. But hopefully it's good enough that they won't feel like they need to. And at least they will work Friday, and I assume this will alleviate the situation and buy some time back.

Totally understand the worry, especially with the source in question. For now, it's best to wait and see if any reputable outlets pick up the story. The campaign will likely address this if it becomes more significant.

Is Trump really riding in a bus for three days? I can’t imagine him sleeping on a bus. Does it have a gold toilet?

Right now popular threads like /politics are bombarded with Trump stuff. Even if people on them are pro-Harris, we still see a deficit of content about her+Walz and the campaign. Head on over to the channel—we have materials, refreshed daily, to help you get started and receive guidance about what to boost and post.

The report came less than a day after striking dockworkers agreed to return to work through the end of the year, avoiding what could have been a major economic disruption with a month to go before the election." “The combination of this great job market and easing inflation is generating solid real wage and income gains,” said Jared Bernstein, the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/04/business/jobs-report-harris-economy.html?smid=threads-nytimes

replying to 2024-10-05T01:16:40.796+00:00 by Dannsync I do have to say my first thought when I heard she was going to be on that podcast was that moniker. Its one of the more Risky jokes that a lot of people may think about making considering the podcast.
I can see that, but we really should allow people to decide on their own nicknames (or embrace and share the ones others have given them.). Let's have a listen when this podcast airs, and see what she has to say.

If you come across left-leaning/anti-Trump Jill Stein supporters, maybe share this -- she's doing conservative podcasts, and sounds open to pardoning some J6 insurrectionists. Given she doesn't even know how the Congress works, I don't think she should be evaluating sentencing. 🙄 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/jill-stein-would-have-to-look-at-pardoning-jan-6-rioters/ar-AA1rI1cP

“Anastasia Bennett, 22, told the outlet that she had become tired of the former president’s constant insults – she now intends to vote for Harris. “It was the insults and just being an hour late,” she said.”

“one attendee said they were still pro-Trump, but that he would have said “You’re fired” if anyone else had been as late as he was. The ex-president was reportedly an hour late taking the stage.”

So Junji Ito is a Japanese horror artist who does lots of body horror stuff and the post in campaign social of trump and Vance’s heads looks similar to one of his characters, tomie, who has her normal face and her demon face that is her true self

This is absolutely how we’re going to win! We’ve got better ground game, better phone banks, better text banks, and better online engagement. 😊 Have you thought about how you’re going to participate in those activities to get Harris/Walz elected?

That's....interesting. I suspect that they have resorted to paying people for signatures because they have no presence on the ground in these states. And they are **certainly** not nearly as organized with their virtual volunteers as the Harris-Walz campaign.

I saw the interview with Tim on Fox News and I thought he did a really good job. The interviewer was pushing the "abortion all 9 months" theory in Minnesota. It was the first time I understood where the right was getting the "9-month" abortion idea. Tim said that when a woman needs an abortion for health reasons, is between her and her doctor, and it was clear they didn't want to put restrictions on that relationship. I thought he was very effective in pushing the woman's health care issue as opposed to someone running out in month 8 because she decided to terminate her pregnancy. The host may have thought it was a "gotcha", but it was an "a ha" moment for me and made perfect sense. So I suspect many in the Fox News audience got it too. Tim was adamant about "VP Harris and I want to bring back Roe v Wade" which I thought was very effective because getting into the minutiae of the Minnesota law was just going to confuse people. The interviewer also said that the family of the woman in Georgia said her death wasn't because of the abortion restriction laws, but Tim was on message that her need to travel to a different state delayed her health care and probably led to her death and he pivoted to the mess in Texas with the increase in pregnancy issues due to their strict law.

Kamala need to go on a male driven podcast and discuss her stance on apprenticeship programs and removing the 4 year degree from job applications I remember her mentioning it but it would be HUGE. Young men feel left out of her conversation, this would be big Young men these days feel like college is a scam and that they shouldn’t go to college. Apprenticeships and trade job expansion would be BIG

A 3% national margin with such a large lead among independents touches on another important subject. In the US, people are much more likely to identify as conservative or moderate than liberal. In fact, according to Pew Research, even in California slightly more people identified as conservative than liberal. This is also reflected in the 2020 CNN exit poll, where Biden won self identified moderates by 30 points. In my opinion this likely contributes to why messaging is often harder for Democrats, in addition to having more nuanced positions. It’s also important to understand that self-identified independents are not necessarily self-identified moderates. https://www.pewresearch.org/religious-landscape-study/database/compare/political-ideology/by/state/ https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/exit-polls/president/national-results

This is also reflected in the 2020 CNN exit poll, where Biden won self identified moderates by 30 points. In my opinion this likely contributes to why messaging is often harder for Democrats, in addition to having more nuanced positions. It’s also important to understand that self-identified independents are not necessarily self-identified moderates. https://www.pewresearch.org/religious-landscape-study/database/compare/political-ideology/by/state/ https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/exit-polls/president/national-results

I have a friend in Lakeland, and I'm really worried about her. These hurricanes are underscoring and highlighting in bold that we need political leaders who understand climate change.

He was up by 1% in one poll, which is very different from being up by 1% in a polling average (538 has him down 3). However many forecasters have moved it from “likely” to “lean” R, since Allred has been closing the gap in polls and fundraising well. I’ve posted more about it in the <#1268378299428634727> channel.

👀 Anyone here see breaking news you think we should try to get posted on reddit? Articles/videos/etc. should be fresh (0-12 hours old) and about Harris, Walz, endorsements, upcoming appearances, campaign issues, appearances...—factual, favorable, and timely. Harris vs. Trump policy comparisons are OK, but stuff for the "Trump sucks, Part 2 billion" pile = no thanks. No polls, either—I think people are largely tired of them. 😀

I am sure I am the last to hear this but I wanted to make everyone aware of Donald Trumps latest undertaking he is selling Bibles This is just wrong making money off of sales of the Bible. He also included in the Bible the Declaration of Independence And The Pledge of Alegents! King James Version Leather Bond Selling for over $60 Dollars. Than he will also sign. How can people be OK with this??? I realize some just see this as a book. But many people see it for much more such as to give guidance in the times of need. I am not a Trump supporter but he has gone to far, in many ways. But using the Bible for policity is really over the top. I am sorry I forget the state that wants a Bible in every classroom in the schools. Separation of church and State but who cares he is Donald Trump. But if this governor gets what he wants it will be amazing but the only Bible he wants in the classrooms are Trump's. I admit that is not specifically said but the governor is saying it must be leather bond. KJV and have the Declaration if Independence in it and the Pledge of Allegiance in it. So Trumps Bible. He stands to make millions of dollars for these Bibles. For his campaign! This is just wrong on so many levels. I will update the state i just didn't write it down.

replying to 2024-10-08T15:05:50.173+00:00 by Ophelia • Lead Mod TX mail-in ballots strongly favor Repubs but early voting in person and election day strongly favor Dems from research I did a few years ago while doing advocacy in TX. But let's get those dem ballots up! (Absentee in TX has stringent requirements).
Out of curiosity, do we know why that is? It’s interesting to me that the dynamic in Texas is reversed from so many other states

Well apparently it flipped recently (I moved out of TX last year and went to grad school a few years ago so lost touch a bit).

I don’t have a lot of knowledge on those from the Arab American community who decided to support Jill Stein, but I did read that Kamala Harris had met with leaders from Muslim and Arab American communities a few days ago to hear their concerns. She also expressed her own concerns about the scale of suffering in Gaza and made it clear that she is doing all that she can in her power to end the war in Gaza. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna174115

He’s a political journalist. I don’t think he has access to any internal polls that aren’t publicly available. However, judging by the networks reporting it he may be looking at Republican internal polls. Internal polls will generally favor their candidate

You're so right <@1266526173257535572> ! The average voter may not think of that (as they say, all politics are local) but if you're having conversations where East Asia and autocrats are part of the convo, that's a very persuasive point to bring up.

To be clear, you believe the Guardian, one of the more progressive and responsible mainstream media, is condoning political violence with that article? Have you read it?

I see. So any news coverage of political violence, even if covered by respected media by the opposition, is verboten here? That's is a bit much. We're not children. Yes, Yes. I'll add it to the debrief form.

Obviously because to him it’s only fair if he wins. He acts like an elementary schooler who won’t get off the court in dodgeball and instead accuses the person that hits them of cheating and being out themselves.

The negative news cycle can be overwhelming and it’s so easy to get stuck in it. But there’s a way to move from staring at the dumpster fire to putting it out. Help us convert that same frustration into votes at the polls. Which shift do you prefer from our selection here?

Because there’s absolutely no way trump is winning young voters- it might be plausible that Harris underperforms there but for young voters overall to outright go trump would be a massive shift that doesn’t make sense

I think the critical thing to understand is that to people who support Trump or who might vote for him. He represents to them security, strength and economic prosperity. Despite facts getting in the way of that perception. The most successful thing I've managed to get out of people that support him is that both sides want what's "best" for America, we just disagree how to get there.

I think communicating that I don't think Trump supporters are some kind of horrible people is pretty important. If we do that, we write off any chance of swaying anybody who might be leaning away from him

We can disagree pretty fundamentally about policy and still understand that we're human.

It's really hard to do that when, every single time I try to talk policy I get shouted at or slurs thrown my way. I just can't interact with them personally.

i have a very good friend who voted trump in 2020 and probably will this year too. we have a lot of the same values and he's a decent and kind man who also earnestly believes that life begins at conception. i disagree with that premise, but taking it at face value if you did believe that i can absolutely understand voting against the pro-choice candidate no matter how personally odious you find trump

oh I feel you. I just have to remember in my case my buddhist practice, which emphasizes compassion. Trust me my Buddhist practice has been especially difficult the last two election cycles 🙂
2024-10-10T01:28:58.272+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]
on the other hand, there are some people who support trump who do so because they like him as a complete package- they like the idea of having power over women, they like aligning towards global authoritarianism, they like returning to an america where the white man is on top
2024-10-10T01:29:14.846+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ]

replying to 2024-10-10T21:56:50.123+00:00 by Dana Gitell [MA] Does anyone have thoughts on this article which is giving me anxiety today? 😬 https://www.axios.com/2024/10/10/2024-polling-wisconsin-michigan-pennsylvania
If you look up the poll on Quinnipac’s website that poll has Trump up 51-43 among 18-34 year olds in Michigan which is off. Even if Kamala gets less support than Biden in 2020 among young voters there’s basically no way Trump wins them
2024-10-10T22:06:06.933+00:00 by Aden W (TX) [ aw823 ]
It also has young voters as the most conservative age group which again is off. It is pretty hard to get young people to respond to polls (much lower turnout, which is why the GOP’s single digit advantages with seniors can cancel out a 20 pt Democratic advantage among young voters)
2024-10-10T22:07:29.219+00:00 by Aden W (TX) [ aw823 ]
PA cross tabs are more realistic with Kamala up 54-38 among young voters, so that result (Kamala +3) is probably more accurate
2024-10-10T22:08:08.284+00:00 by Aden W (TX) [ aw823 ]
And in Wisconsin it has Kamala up by just 4 among young voters which again is unrealistic

Democrats have an amazing record on the economy and yet we don’t toot our horn. Dems keep fixing the mess of Republicans time and again. So, why don’t we get vocal about how we rescue the economy and have the support of 16 Nobel Prize Economists? We let Republicans go unchecked on their claims of a better economy.

It seems like the NYT just realized this individual rambles all the time , making no sense.His rallies are just getting longer and crazier. The media keeps measuring the candidates with a different standard. When Kamala is talking policy the media talking heads want a dissertation, but the bar is so low for the other candidate. With his “I got concepts of a plan” for health or “child care is child care” when asked for proposals regarding child care

It is always so great to listen to him speak.. for so many reasons... there is his powerful ability to articulate a point, but there is also the emotional safety that the sound of his voice evokes in me. From back when there was always an adult in the room. It's a great reminder of why we work so hard here to make sure we don't go back.

Kind of funny for them to say that when I know many people are sent to my conservative university (was rated among the worst in the country for LGBTQ+ students pretty recently, among other things) because their parents think other schools will “indoctrinate” them.

Something I'm seeing that bothers me more than any poll is DJT, Trump Media stock. After being left for dead on 09/23 at $12.15, the stock has jumped to today's intraday high of $27.24 a gain of 116% before closing at $25.28, a 108% gain. This would be a good indication of Trump's chances for an election win. Meanwhile, the S&P 500, a good indication of Democrats chances, closed at 5719 09/23 and finished today at 5815, a gain of 96 points or 1.7% over the same 13 trading days. While this indicates that both parties are gaining voters, Trump's gains are much greater than Harris-Walz especially among undecided voters. Is it true? Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see. Actually, don't wait, just work harder, much, much harder - then we'll see!!!

Pro tip: Ignore polls and work. Polls right now are often coming from right-biased pollsters. RealClear Polling (someone linked above) is a very right leaning poll aggregator on top of it. There is a LOT of this going on right now. Actual early voting data coming in from PA shows democrats are building up a sizeable lead in that state early on. Looks to be on pace to build a sufficient firewall of votes before the more conservative-leaning election day votes. Michigan and Wisconsin also look promising. In the meantime, let's keep getting folks to VOTE.

replying to 2024-10-11T20:31:52.594+00:00 by Paul Peszko Something I'm seeing that bothers me more than any poll is DJT, Trump Media stock. After being left for dead on 09/23 at $12.15, the stock has jumped to today's intraday high of $27.24 a gain of 116% before closing at $25.28, a 108% gain. This would be a good indication of Trump's chances for an election win. Meanwhile, the S&P 500, a good indication of Democrats chances, closed at 5719 09/23 and finished today at 5815, a gain of 96 points or 1.7% over the same 13 trading days. While this indicates that both parties are gaining voters, Trump's gains are much greater than Harris-Walz especially among undecided voters. Is it true? Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see. Actually, don't wait, just work harder, much, much harder - then we'll see!!!
Don't get discouraged by the gains in the DJT stock. I dabbled in trading digital currencies (cryptocurrencies) for a while. It has a lot of similarities to the stock market. There are lots of scams out there where the person offering the investment opportunity creates hype to pump up the share price. Then the creator sells all of their own shares, tanking the price per share (more common with digital currencies than stocks due to less SEC regulation). I wouldn't put it past debt addled Donnie to do something like that. The S&P 500 can't move as fast as a single stock because of the huge market capitalization. In other words, it would take a nearly impossible amount of money changing hands to make the S&P 500 go up by 100% in a month. A 1.7% gain in less than two weeks shows a very positive sentiment in the market.

Trump stock was over $66 in late March. Now in the mid-$20s. Still way WAY overvalued. It's a pale X imitator with a shrinking subscriber base with loads of debt and anemic revenue. And its sole "Truther" becomes more befuddled every day. Watch it fall again soon.

The recent micheal Moore article that hit the news and a shift in the vibes on my own socials have me a bit concerned heading into the last weeks. I've been incredibly invested making content for the team and volunteering, so no mistake I am on board here, but it's hard to ignore the situation in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis. Just wanted to call this out, as I'm seeing a lot of folks in my spheres who we are losing the last few weeks on this topic alone. I understand not much can be done, but I did want to call it out as I'm seeing more of the sentiment.

There are some genuine issues here (I sympathize with the situation in Gaza in particular), but it's also important to remember that in these last few weeks, there is going to be a lot of handwringing and interference by people trying to depress turnout for us. There will be floods of bots, trolls, and fearmongering media articles and punditry every day from here on out. That's not to say that everyone who expresses worry is doing it in bad faith, but those feelings will be amplified by bad actors to sow doubt and throw us off. We should acknowledge that fears are genuine with everything at stake, but as a favorite quote of mine from Andor goes "There is a difference between fear and losing your nerve." We must keep at it in spite of the headwinds we might face, because whether it's organic or manufactured, these last weeks will be filled with pessimism and doubt.

Doesn’t feel like the right place but I was told that I should post this concern in the news channel even though I am merely expressing my opinion and would like to hear the thoughts of others. I dream that US campaigns could be drastically shortened. My preference is that All campaigns should be no longer than Kamala has had; it would mean far less time for nasty campaigning, far less voter fatigue, less time for contradictory polls bouncing to & fro. There could also be less emphasis on fund raising if media coverage opportunities were time limited.. I know you probably feel I should be making calls instead of making wishes for the future right now but wishes for the future are the reason I’m in this and even though 11/5 is certainly the immediate issue, I occasionally need to step back and look at the big picture in order to deep breath, reenergize and then get back to the dialer. If we talk about this stuff now, maybe 2028 or 2032 or 2036 or beyond could be saner.

I understand your point of view and suspect it is shared by many. The best we can do is elect the right team to begin to address a host of issues with our current elections processes, starting with funding. Not much else we can do until we have Kamala and Tim in office with as much support from Congress as possible.

While we’re all working hard to make an impact right now, your wishes for future election reforms show that you're thinking ahead—and that’s a good thing. It’s important to find moments of reflection so we can stay energized and keep fighting for a better future. Let's focus on 11/5 for now, but I love that you're dreaming of ways to improve the system for the long run! 💙

Hi Dianel. I’m on the autism spectrum, and I was very anxious about calling, but data show calling voters has the greatest success rate in getting people to vote.

Right now, a lot of calls are being made to donors to recruit them as volunteers, so it’s a reassuring experience.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s really inspiring to see you push through your anxiety and make those calls, especially knowing how important phone banking is for this election. Taking things at your own pace and taking breaks when needed is such great advice.

There may be laws on it. In Texas the people who have voted so far are also much more republican than the state overall because we have so many restrictions on mail in voting that it’s predominantly seniors and early voting hasn’t started yet

We need a compassionate meaningful statement by Harris on the suffering in Gaza, and now Lebanon. PLEASE! I am so tired of hitting the Gaza tag with absolutely NO response. I talked to a democrat who has changed to Not Voting today. When I mentioned what DT would do with regards to this issue IMO, she stated that she believes Harris will do the same. She was not uninformed, and I am wondering if this is one reason why Harris is not as strong with women as DT is with men. LET'S WIN THIS WITH COMPASSION!! <:blueheart:1252803082849488956>

One thing I’ve been thinking about on this topic is for people to view presidential candidates as stepping stones. While Kamala needs to be more left on foreign policy, we first need the country to be more left. So we have to vote and organize locally. The dangerous part of the rhetoric being online it can deflate people in “red states” from not voting because nothing gets done. Where their local Democrats need them to turn out BADLY. We need those people to progress and vote in their states, so the United States can start shifting. If they don’t, the states won’t move. So we just got to at least encourage people to vote locally, and remember, progress is a marathon, not a sprint. We move step by step.

Hi Kathleen -Kamala is generally seen as more empathic toward Palestinians than Biden and called for a ceasefire first.

That's all fine and good, but the big thing that is missing is for KH to at least express a willingness to use more leverage in negotiating with Israel, i.e. conditioning US aid. This would be a pretty big break from the Biden policy, sure. But why not? It's the right thing to do and I think doing this in the closing weeks of the campaign would really go a long way in moving a lot of these hesitant voters who we are hearing from every single day.

It's definitely a tough one and I know that many think that further clarity here would move the electoral needle. But we've got to work with what we actually have. So, take a gander at https://kamalaharris.com/issues/ and see if there is information there that can help you in conversations with family, friends, and other voters (ya know, strangers in the checkout line etc.)

Thanks Tyler! Good point and is one made in the Hill article. Muslim Women for Harris say she'd be wise to campaign with the Palestinian state rep. denied a spot at the DNC - I think we should push that idea. One expert says Harris can use existing Leahy law to stop weapon shipment for any country committing war crimes https://www.instagram.com/p/C-WaLUwtAhB/?hl=en https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4925123-vice-president-harris-middle-east-crisis/

I do not understand. Isn't this about getting Kamala elected? Organizing and building community should be about helping this team address the criticisms pointed at Kamala's policies. If we can't talk about how we solve for that with the people we are in contact with where would we go to do that? We need to solve for converting more voters to Harris/Walz. How do we do that without mentioning the policy? You censored my comment but I think it was about how to address the economy and inflation messaging that is not currently working with people that are not already Harris/Walz voters. Being "positive" by not allowing a mention of the challenge is a little like sticking ones head in the sand. Where can volunteers go to talk about framing the Harris/Walz policies in a way that reaches the Harris/Walz non-voters?

Hi there - yes, this community is about getting Kamala elected! We just want to avoid going down any negative rabbit holes and debates. The <#1250550849998946417> channel has a variety of resources that volunteers can share on social media to spread the word about Kamala’s platforms and policies. Volunteers are also encouraged to contact the Harris-Walz campaign directly with any suggestions and concerns at https://kamalaharris.com/contact-us/.

This is why I think the panic may be unwarranted. I think she’s being slept on. The hop from Biden to her was likely voters. The hop from polling to Election Day numbers will be from unlikely voters. As long as we keep up our work.

There’s a couple of good news articles out there that should be talking points for surrogates and potentially ads (but I would say more interview and talking points). They especially address cost of living and inflation for any voters that think they are somehow getting 2018 prices plus also on taxes. One of the surveys comes from WSJ which is pretty conservative - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/expert-finds-trumps-tax-proposal-141523448.html https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/economists-say-inflation-deficits-will-be-higher-under-trump-than-harris-0365588e?mod=mhp Imp points and data/research that should be cited when talking in interviews etc. (In my opinion). <@1263159708466811000> just in case anyone wants to share with campaign directly

And right wing pollsters have flooded the news with biased polls lately. Early voting numbers are telling a different story (so far) especially in blue wall states. Too early to tell for sure but the newest numbers give me hope. Lots of Dems and lots of early votes in general, which is a good sign.

The accusation itself is kinda academic since she put the sources in footnotes and that article highlights Mr. Rufo’s hypocrisy and racism. “have tried to expose plagiarism among academics, many of whom have been Black scholars who work in the field of diversity and inclusion.” “he had not evaluated academic papers or books written by former President Donald J. Trump or his Republican running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, because they did not fit into the group’s hypothesis, which Mr. Rufo described as the theory that “left-wing racialist ideology leads to academic corruption.””

It also has a statement from a spokesperson. “”This is a book that’s been out for 15 years, and the vice president clearly cited sources and statistics in footnotes and endnotes throughout,” said James Singer, a campaign spokesman.”

I agree the right move would be to ignore it in general but Fox's Bret Baer is sure to try to attack Kamala on it even though everyone outside the right wing fever swamps knows Rufo is not serious. So it better to have a short and crisp response along with a redirection going into the interview.

https://www.npr.org/2024/10/13/nx-s1-5151968/harris-weed-crypto Does someone know what this crypto stuff is about as far as the campaign is concerned? is it good regulations that like, protect people from losing all their money if they lose their password (which is how crypto is now basically). On the other hand crypto is a purely speculative thing that often pollutes a lot for no reason, and that serves essentially as an investment in world organized crime and rogue states, since those two groups depend on a thriving crypto ecosystem to perform a lot of financial operations now. So maybe protecting crypto is a bit of a mixed bag?

Sometimes this takes a while to figure out how to make your message heard. One thing that helped me connect with what I was trying to get at was doing a "personal story" training. Basically: 1: Identify 1-2 core values/struggles that make you who you are / people can connect with. (EG: "I'm a parent concerned about my kids." or "My family has struggled with diabetes and medical costs my whole life." or [insert your story here] ) 2. How does that connect to the candidate? (Kamala Harris is FOR protecting kids in schools / funding Medicare / etc. ) 3. How can you connect that to the person you're talking to? (If X is important to you, this is why you should vote / get involved / learn more!)

Unfortunately many do not, which is why there are so many anti-vaxxers and climate change deniers in this country. However it does refute the claim many business leaders are making.

i can understand why the tariffs thing would be appealing though (as a person, like myself, who doens't really understand economic details).

On the other hand crypto is a purely speculative thing that often pollutes a lot for no reason, and that serves essentially as an investment in world organized crime and rogue states, since those two groups depend on a thriving crypto ecosystem to perform a lot of financial operations now. So maybe protecting crypto is a bit of a mixed bag?
Indeed, The pandemic era stimulus drove a huge speculative bubble in cryptocurrencies and led to a large enough ecosystem to be built around it to become a political player. So even as several crypto big fish like Bankman-Fried went to jail a not insignificant number of people made some money in crypto in 2020-2021 and are now looking for government intervention to keep the party going. All the crypto pandering is certainly not without financial and security risks not to mention the energy usage disaster that it is currently.

Tariffs are a double edge sword: 1) we all pay on the front end when the goods come into the US and the fovernment collects the tarifff (i.e. import tax) from the importer; the importer's expense is then just passed along to the consumer in the form of a higher price. 2) Once the other side retaliates, say, like last time under Trump when he raised prices on the washing machines and China responded in kind and imposed tariffs on our pork and soy beans, a lot of farmers started teetering and the US had to take hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money to compensate the farmers for the trouble.... ALL respectcable (and somewhat respectable) economists say the across the board draconian tariff scheme will spike inflation and the cost of living, will blow a gigantic hole in the budget deficit and will cripple our economy. Just think about it: everyone wants to wear Nike sneakers, but nobody wants to make them for 70c per hour (whihc is what the sweatshop workers in Asia are making them for). Tariffs are important to safeguard our competitevness in very narrow targeted areas that will enure the US wins the future, like battery techology, AI, advanced microchips etc. So, for example, Biden imposing huge tariffs on import of chinese EVS is a smart move, because we have a lot of good paying jobs in the EV supply chain and the battery technology is strategically important. These are the only kinds of tariffs that are acceptable. Again, tariffs are generally used to encourage domestic manufacturing of strategic goods, not as a means of collecting revenue from the US citizens by instituting an effective sales tax.

"Everyone wants to wear Nike sneakers, but nobody wants to make them for 70c per hour (whihc is what the sweatshop workers in Asia are making them for). " This indeed emblematic of a major problem with our civilization, though I don't know if/how tariffs come into solving it.

This makes no sense at all. All things being equal, more trade makes everyone richer. The wage exploitation issue is real but wage levels in Western countries like the USA have risen even higher since the 1990s when the factories first moved abroad. 30 years on, the kind of tariff you would have to impose on low-tech goods like Nike sneakers to move the shoe factory back to the USA would be so huge that sneakers would become a luxury item. We can institute policies to prevent wage difference exploitation in our emerging industries but across the board tariffs will simply make everyone poorer.

That sounds plausible. But I don't think you can say "more trade makes everyone richer" because all the other things are not equal, and people have not really become richer. I think many people feel they have less power, less unions, less stable employment etc vs a few decades ago, which correlates with (among many other things of course) the global trade and outsourcing and all that

I agree with you that all things are never equal and I would even grant that maybe NAFTA and PNTR were a mistake in hindsight, not necessarily economically but politically, given how certain parts of the country like the blue wall states were impacted by off-shoring and how it allowed China to become a superpower. Also, when we say "people have not really become richer" we have to be more precise in what we mean. Real (ie., inflation-adjusted) median US household income is about 30% higher now than in 1992 and the median household can certainly afford more "stuff" like cheap sneakers, cell phones, computers etc now than 30 years ago. The reason people feel poor and stressed out is because the price of things we cannot outsource, like land to build homes on and services like a college education, medical care, child care, elder care have risen much faster than wages and more of everyones' salary is spent on these items. Across the board tariffs are not going to solve any of these issues as these problems are all internal to the country. With regards to unions, yes we should encourage more union power in the strategic manufacturing industries we would like to develop like EVs, batteries, nuclear etc and one can use targeted tariffs to achieve that. Separately the government also can facilitatie an increase in union power in the services sector which is much bigger now than manufacturing. Amazon workers, truck drivers, rail operators, teachers, dock workers etc are all under this category and tariffs do nothing for them.

First of all, a lot of this has been Republican pollsters inflating the poll markets with polls favoring trump so that his odds look better. Second of all, weird polling anomalies or not, **none of us know the true state of the race based on polls or betting markets.** We know based on our interactions with individuals, the momentum we see in people, and the early results we’ve seen, which are all great! We’re doing the work we need to do, and that’s what matters most. Keep working, and we’ll win this race together!

The polls are not going to predict such a close election, so let us all stop looking at the polls especially poll aggregators that do not correct for partisan bias. David Plouffe himself laid out the case: The campaign thinks Trump's ceiling is about 48% in the swing states that matter and the Harris campaign is aiming to get her to as close as 50% as possible. Turn out is basically the ball game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzpT138vOIU&t=47s If you have to look at a poll aggregator look at split-ticket or 538 as they both adjust for house effects and penalize/ignore junk GOP polls.

At the end of the day, such a close election will come down to our efforts as volunteers and the will of the voters, which are directly interlinked! That’s why we encourage volunteering as a solution to anxiety. Believe me, I feel campaign anxiety too, but it gets easier knowing I’m making a difference and helping to prevent my fears from becoming reality

I think it's important to remember that we might not for exactly the reason we didn't last time - PA isn't allowed to start counting votes before election day, so that can take time. But we really want to get up the margins so we aren't relying on GA, which looks likely to be a bit of a mess. I see you're on the calls team, have you been doing any phone banking to PA or GA this week to help increase our margins? 🙂

I haven't seen much pushback against the arguments Trump made in his recent interview in Chicago (just some tweets from Aaron Rupar on X) - I think it will be important to challenge his assertions ASAP. I found this article in the NYT which reviews the interview and highlights some of the counter-arguments from professional economists, but it is fairly neutral overall: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/15/us/politics/trump-tariffs-economy-economy-club-chicago.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Sk4.wsaG.u7_TEZ8W2ZOe&smid=url-share

These interviews with these independent journalists have been so productive and helpful in understanding Kamala Harris and I feel like she’s secretly building a silent majority. I think some people are saying they’d vote for Trump but will ultimately vote for Kamala Harris. I’m confident she will win. We just need to keep up our work in building a coalition and be sure to take ourselves to the polls.

The calls at this link are often easier ones, calling volunteers to help them plug in to our campaign work and get them activated!

The link I just shared with Diane above is sometimes more "volunteer-interest" calls. Those are very friendly calls! And you can help them plug in to all of our activities, including swing state calls. I mostly host swing states phonebanks to have those persuadable conversations because I'd rather be uncomfortable for three weeks than lose our democracy for who knows how long. We're fighting for it and fighting is hard work. But making calls to activate volunteers is key as well because it replicates our efforts! Feel free to try these calls out and see how you like them!

also in GA if you look at the numbers of who voted yesterday the Dems only have a 3% advantage over those who have voted so far (which is odd,no)?

Be careful trying to over-analyze or read too much into the numbers and what they mean. Focusing on that is shown to increase anxiety about things we can't control by worrying. But we can control GOTV by making calls! 🙂 Let's call vols to activate them or voters to connect and ask how Kamala can earn their vote.

Haven’t checked the Georgia registration numbers but I would assume it’s like Arizona where there’s still a republican edge in voter registration because some people haven’t switched their registration yet.

Hi <@1295426076201320458>. Thank you for reaching out regarding the Harris' campaign event at Bucks County PA. I am checking if the event is public.

For those of you talking to voters on the economy, the new WSJ economic survey is pretty clear on the impacts of tariffs. And, as a reminder, WSJ is a fairly conservative publication. So if there’s bias in this, it’s in Trump’s favor. 😬
2024-10-16T15:48:02.834+00:00 by Aden W (TX) [ aw823 ]
Since they always complain about taxes being passed on to consumers (companies can just raise prices if they want to and don’t have to lower them after getting tax cuts) why can’t they reason that tariffs will also get passed on?

Here is a breakdown of the first early voting day Georgia data: 328,800 mail & early ballots have been cast and 260k ballots are outstanding, that's 11% of the total 2020 turnout. 86% of early voters were over the age of 41 54% were female 56% were white 55% were Democrat and Independent

May have done better in the Midwest but probably worse elsewhere. Would have lost by more in the sun belt (and probably wouldn’t have won Nevada. Not sure about New Hampshire (and the rest of New England to a lesser extent) since it’s kind of libertarian (The “live free or die” state) but he’s also from the area. Probably would have also done worse in Virginia and Colorado (possibly even lose them). Overall probably lower popular vote but possibly more electoral votes. We’ll have no way of ever knowing though.

I took it as she’s on Fox News, where they’re intentionally going to do their best to misconstrue her words and make her look “radical”. She played to the center for this interview strategically. Based on her history, I’m confident she’ll be good for my community.

I’ve even thought about it myself. I’m black, nonbinary, progressive and live in Oklahoma. I’m public enemy #1. If I were running for office, I’d focus on the issues that connect us and that I can help the most people with, not with those that divide us. Then once elected, I would advocate for my people. That’s what I’m hoping her strategy is and what we’ll see from a Harris-Walz presidency.

The interviewer was trying to get a sound bite becuase he is in coordination with the Trump campaign. Harris didn’t want to give it to him on principle. But she was very clear. She said. “I will follow the law” And the context of the question is the law states we are mandated (rightly) to provide gender affirming care to inmates in federal prison

Fox paid a $787 Million fine for being found guilty of deliberately lying on behalf of Trump regarding the 2020 election. It should be a sobering reminder about the fragile state of US democracy that it remains the largest "News" organization in the country in spite of that.

I’m confident we will get it. As someone who is black and LGBTQ and a firm believer of having a growth mindset, change happens over time. This is playing the long game and taking a couple steps on the right direction. Unfortunately, our identities are seen as radical left. Our existence is political. It’s why we need to learn how to organize in every state and start voting in people who will support us or at least not hurt us locally as well.

I am sorry for the state of trans-discourse. But the campaign has to speak to the median voter who as of 2024 is a socially conservative individual who probably watches Fox news or Sinclair media. It would be political malpractice for the campaign to raise the salience of any issue on which they are losing the median voter.

I think the of the main message you hear from both the VP and Gov is while not explicitly mentioning trans people or all LGTBQIA folks but it is something you hear in every stump speech and it’s this: “We believe in the freedom to love who you love and live OPENLY with PRIDE”

I fully hear you though Tripp. I sometimes even get jealous of cishet white men, because they have more power to resolve issues that directly affect my identity and livelihood than I do. I’m with you. This sucks. We will get there with time, activate our communities, and then activate our allies to stop the attacks on our existence.

I'm so sorry you feel this way. Just know that this campaign **does** believe in you and your rights and *will* fight for them when in office. There are many issues that people are very passionate about that do not get the attention they deserve, but that's the reality of politics in a tight race. Every bit of hard work you've and others have done will pay off if we finish strong. Thank you for being here.

Hi Ruthie - almost across the board, strong early vote turnout is a positive sign for democrats because democrats tend to vote early while republicans tend to vote on election day. GA has had record-breaking turnout for both days early voting has been open. It's not a guarantee by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a great sign for us. Additionally, a lot of the early turn out has been in urban areas like Atlanta that are traditional dem strongholds. Urban voters are one of our most important voting blocks.

I didn't watch the whole thing, just clips, but he unfortunately did a lot of dodging. I don't think he sold anyone on himself, though, and definitely defied the journalistic "do no harm" principle.

I think, generally speaking, the goal of really good political media interaction is to try to either a) convince undecided voters to vote for you or b) convince people who weren't already going to vote to get out and vote. And Harris has done a truly admirable job with that by getting out of her comfort zone, and I think every interview I've seen really had high upside and not much downside, i.e. she didn't turn anyone off who wasn't already turned off. I don't feel like Trump has been successful at that.

She announced a surprise concert with somebody the week before the election. I bet it is Taylor Swift. It could be Beyoncé or Charli XCX most likely

Hi <@826195119677374534> totally empathize with that feeling for sure - it's incredibly hard for all of us right now. That having been said, I've found that the best thing to help me cope with the uncertainty and fear has been volunteering for the campaign.

Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman weighs in on the likely impacts of Trump's plans for imposing high tariffs across the board. From the conclusion: "The tariffs would impose large burdens on middle- and lower-income families. They probably wouldn’t significantly reduce the trade deficit and might actually hurt American manufacturing. And unilateral U.S. tariff action would wreak havoc by fracturing the world trading system." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/opinion/trump-tariffs-economy.html?unlocked_article_code=1.TE4.Kea3.wbzp6cN36FDA&smid=url-share

Thank you! It's a major issue in the campaign, for sure, so that's fine. Plus the first paragraph has a callback to a Kamala line: "Did anyone really want this?"

I just finished visiting a friends’ house and helping him and his wife fill out their ballots. We are here in Seal Beach, California. Not a swing state, but a swing congressional district. Jeffiries with the gavel for House is a potential critical part of making sure the electoral votes are properly counted. I got my friend and his wife to vote for the first time since Obama 08. This reinforces and energizes in me the power of persuasion!

In a tight race every vote counts. The DNC has an ad about this which is playing in swing states like Michigan. The Arab and Muslim community are literally considering voting for Stein due to Gaza.

Yea a pity about that. I sometimes wonder how tractable these Stein voters really are, who consistently vote for a party that never wins anything or does anything. I dunno it seems similar to trying to win over fox or joe rogan viewers, or disaffected republicans. there are lot of real democrats to be energized into voting and i guess they're having more success with this latter group

I disagree with not trying to win over disaffected Republicans/right leaning Independent voters because that is how Ronald Reagan won in a landslide in 84 via Reagan Democrats. Harris trying to do the same thing with disaffected Republicans/right leaning Independents. I am one of those right leaning Independents.

Good points! I know it can be easy to get pulled into news and polls and go down those rabbit holes. Democracy is complicated and we celebrate our differences but it doesn't mean we don't have to then do the work of understanding, leaving space for differing experiences, and honoring everyone's concerns. These days I’m trying to use that motivation and time to volunteer. And, I bet with your interest in sharing info and helping others, you will love our training on [**Organize Your Friends and Family**](https://events.democrats.org/event/597621/utm_source=Discord&utm_medium=Posts&utm_campaign=Daily%20Engagement) if you haven't already done it.

I think we need to realize that Kamala Harris is campaigning as a unifier. Not as an either/or candidate, but rather a both/and! We’ve been missing that from a politician who wants to listen to everybody and create pragmatic solutions. She believes we all have more in common than what divides us, and I agree. She is energizing the base by several policy proposals, such as Medicare covering in-home healthcare, building new housing, legalized marijuana, reparations investigation and much more. She is also appealing to right leaning Independents and disaffected Republicans, by going to Fox News. Listing the threat to Democracy, how her economic plan is better, and highlighting gun ownership.

Heather continues to provide crucial commentary: "Trump wants to get rid of the current government so that he can enrich himself, do whatever he wants to his enemies, and avoid answering to the law. The Christian nationalists who wrote Project 2025 want to destroy the federal government so they can put in place an authoritarian who will force Americans to live under religious rule. Tech elites like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel want to get rid of the federal government so they can control the future without having to worry about regulations.

Remember, the polls are within the margin of effort. Yes, get out and vote! But you only have one vote. If you help us [phonebank](https://events.democrats.org/event/725393/?utm_source=Discord&utm_medium=Posts&utm_campaign=Daily%20Engagement), you can get out other people's votes too! When will we see you on the dialer?

I'm with you, but at the moment, we're living in a world with the electoral college, so we've got to fight hard in the swing states. 😊

And speaking of fighting hard in the swing states... folks, we're getting down to the wire. You're going to see the mods pushing hard this weekend to get folks over to <#1242256751445934262>. Please don't ignore us. We really appreciate the discussion here, always, but we're getting down to the wire. Yes, the early vote data look good, but to borrow Simon Rosenberg's analogy, it's like we're up by a field goal at the two minute warning. There is still a lot of race left to run, and we HAVE to close strong to maintain our early voting progress. So please, even if you're new to it, even if it seems scary and intimidating... give phone banking a try. Even a few calls helps! You don't even have to sign up for a shift, just hop on the dialer. <:phone:1252803032346001479>

What response should we give to people who claim Kamala "kicked Jesus out" of the Wisconsin rally? Apparently the protestors shouted "Jesus is Lord" when she talked about reproductive freedom, and then she told them to go to the other, smaller rally. Mother-in-law called today saying that this "proves" Kamla isn't a Christian, and some social media accounts are saying she is the anti-christ, like this one: https://youtu.be/X9MB87UR3iE?si=QouDMjxNbX7gmRdc. I want to do my part to nip this in the bud! I know she's a woman of faith. What else was she supposed to do with people interrupting her speech? SMH. If this is supposed to go somewhere else, LMK.

replying to 2024-10-19T20:50:02.842+00:00 by Christie McBride What response should we give to people who claim Kamala "kicked Jesus out" of the Wisconsin rally? Apparently the protestors shouted "Jesus is Lord" when she talked about reproductive freedom, and then she told them to go to the other, smaller rally. Mother-in-law called today saying that this "proves" Kamla isn't a Christian, and some social media accounts are saying she is the anti-christ, like this one: https://youtu.be/X9MB87UR3iE?si=QouDMjxNbX7gmRdc. I want to do my part to nip this in the bud! I know she's a woman of faith. What else was she supposed to do with people interrupting her speech? SMH. If this is supposed to go somewhere else, LMK. I'm new to Discord.
Let them spout whatever they wish, people will try to do what they can to get others on their side even if that means using their religious liberties to do so. Kamala was also expressing hers. The Pharisees also hated Jesus for preaching the truth. John 15:18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”

@Christie McBride the USA practices the separation of church and state, meaning religion and politics are separate. Why? Because part of being a democracy is peacefully co-existing with people of every faith, including atheists. They WERE at the wrong rally. MAGA republicans are Christian nationists. The conversation here is about public policy and upholding the constitution for the rights and freedoms of ALL people. Our fight is for democracy, not religion.

Simon Rosenberg did a deep dive on his Hopium site today into red wave polling and polymarket today. It seems to me this is extremely important. The Republicans are using these tactics to drive the narrative that Trump is ahead and will win. Partly this may be aimed at justifying another "stop the steal" campaign if he loses. But it is also something that can negatively depress turnout among Harris voters, which is a potentially serious problem: https://open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc/p/vp-harris-and-her-campaign-are-working?r=gc81z&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

I used to work in politics in D.C. and regionally and I'm a news and political junkie, but I learned a LOT in this, plus these are GREAT selected short must-see clips of Obama, Clinton, Kamala (and Trump at his weirdest).

Hi <@587777444271095837>, We know it’s easy to focus on polls and early vote data, but the truth is that polls don’t vote. We’re in the home stretch, and the single biggest impact you can have is through phone banking to talk to voters in swing states. This outreach is far more important in determining who wins the election than polls! Phone banking can impact voter turnout by as much as 3.8%. Would you be willing to join us over in <#1242256751445934262> and get started phone banking today? (If this channel doesn’t show up for you, please go to #Channels-and-Roles and select ‘talk to voters in key states.’)

I don't blame you. But <@1285725723885306032> is onto something and I'll also note something feels real weird to me about these polls. I don't know enough to know for certain but I'm seeing lots of people who do tend to better understand these things note that it seems like the GOP is cooking the polls. Apparently a similar thing happened in 2022. They really want to make it look like there was fraud because "the polls all said this was a win for us!"

I am glad that your election presentation helps your family and co-workers on making their vote decisions. Voting is a very important process. I know at times, I get overwhelmed by ballot measures that my state proposed us to vote every election. It's a chance for your voice to be heard, but the information that is provided is sometimes a bit overwhelming.

I'm in a red state too so it's usually written in a very confusing manner specifically to create outcomes people don't understand. We voted to get rid of partisan gerrymandering. Then, 2 years later the gop legislature put a sneakily worded ballot measure in that lead with looking like it was going to ban lobbyist contributions over like 5 bucks. problem was that was already on the books and the rest of the initiative undid the anti-gerrymandering from before and boom! We're right back to the same situation we were in before and we hadn't even had a chance to have an election with non-gerrymandered maps yet.

It's shocking how some of these states are taking voter rights away or making it more difficult for voters to register and vote.

That's because they didn't. The Missouri GOP is mostly in the business of undermining the blue dot cities on either end of the state (St Louis and Kansas City who don't really vote for GOP folks. It's bad here and I don't want the rest of the country to experience just how bad politics can get.

Mostly by ignoring ballot measures and then putting their own out there with confusing wording where in order to avoid the bad outcome you have to vote in non-intuitive ways. They also tried to push for a change to the amendment process that would've made it so you didn't just need a majority of voters but the initiative would need to win in a majority of Missouri's districts and so many are rural that would be incredibly hard to do.

It reminds me a ballot California has a few years ago about Uber and Lyft requiring to pay health insurance for their drivers. The companies lobbied and advertised against the proposition so well, that California voters voted against the ballot. Now, it turns out, that is the wrong decision, but it can't be fixed due to that ballot voted.

I don't know enough to know for certain but I'm seeing lots of people who do tend to better understand these things note that it seems like the GOP is cooking the polls. Apparently a similar thing happened in 2022. They really want to make it look like there was fraud because "the polls all said this was a win for us!"
Yeah, it seems like we have been flooded with right leaning polls. I personally find hard to believe that Trump has made more inroads with undecided voters in the last 4 weeks where he has displayed a bizarre unhinged behavior and had a disastrous debate

It may be this close since 48-49% of Americans are locked in disinformation silos. That’s why we gotta work 100 times harder. I tell myself every day that we can do this together. VP Harris represents such hope and joy.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/pennsylvania-gov-shapiro-law-enforcement-take-look-elon-musk-voter-pay-rcna176279 “Hasen told NBC News on Sunday that Musk’s PAC is only offering the payments to registered voters, not the general public at large, which is what could make the scheme illegal. “Essentially what you’re doing is you are creating a lottery. You’re creating a lottery where the only people eligible to participate in the lottery are people who register to vote, or are registered to vote, and that’s illegal,” Hasen said. He noted that the general intent behind election laws prohibiting bribery is to prevent people from buying votes, but “you don’t have to say you have to vote for a particular candidate in order to be breaking this law. ... It can be to either incentivize people to register or vote, or it can be to reward them,” Hasen told NBC News on Sunday.”

Right 💜 I got the invite to go yesterday (and the first one) and with my disability it just wasn’t possible 😢 My limitations have become VERY “in my face” lately because I have been working overtime for our live on TIk Tok 5 days a week where we combat misinformation, give information on voter rules, candidates & anything we can. We have streamed A Storm Foretold in our Discord and so many people wanted to see it we have to do it again. We streamed the E Jean Carroll film by Brave New Films. We are planning to stream The Apprentice. We have literally streamed all 4 days of the DNC, both debates & had our own Bingo cards made up & are using the swag we got from the DNC as Bingo prizes. We have promoted & streamed a bunch of the unifying calls and I can honestly say I have NEVER EVER worked so hard for free and been proud of every minute.

In 2020 at the time the oldest candidate for POTUS Joe Biden (78) released his medical records In 1980/1984 at the time the oldest candidate for POTUS Ronald Reagan (69/73) released his medical records In 1956 at the time the oldest candidate for POTUS Dwight Eisenhower (66) released his medical records Donald Trump is showing mental health problems most likely do to age. He won’t be able to lead our nation. Especially being scared of releasing his records. Do we want some like this this as our President? Do we want JD Vance as President? JD Vance who has praised Project 2025. We must fight to make sure Trump loses. Call, reach out, text, email, do some door knocking we have 17 more days left

We have streamed A Storm Foretold in our Discord and so many people wanted to see it we have to do it again. We streamed the E Jean Carroll film by Brave New Films. We are planning to stream The Apprentice. We have literally streamed all 4 days of the DNC, both debates & had our own Bingo cards made up & are using the swag we got from the DNC as Bingo prizes. We have promoted & streamed a bunch of the unifying calls and I can honestly say I have NEVER EVER worked so hard for free and been proud of every minute. I’m going to the High Hopes for Harris call tomorrow & who knows maybe 1 day I’ll get to go.💙

Hey folks! We're now at a point where we have to close strong, which means doing the work regardless of what the polls and early votes say. (Although I too am encouraged by early voting numbers!) The single most important thing people can do right now according to the campaign is phone banking - it can increase turnout by 3.8%, and as you can see, that's within the margin for most of these polls. Would you all be able to head over to <#1242256751445934262> and make some calls, ideally tonight but any point in the next week would be super helpful? This is the number one priority for the campaign and really helps us get out the vote, which is how we're going to win this thing!

Hi <@1294740582656245845> - the registration deadline in GA was on October 7th per their Secretary of State's website. However, if someone thinks they aren't registered to vote, it still might be worthwhile to have them check their information at iwillvote.com because sometimes people register without realizing it when they first move or get a driver's license! 🙂

Quick question for anyone. I see that Harris was leading in the polls for much of the election. Now she is down in a TIPP poll, which accurately predicted elections 79% of the time, so not a junk poll. I understand polls are not votes, voters are votes, but Harris losing right now feels contrary to what I'm seeing: great energy on her side, huge crowds, on-target messaging, a truly massive volunteer campaign, versus a lackluster campaign on the other side. Several weeks ago, the narrative was he was in trouble, now it has switched. I suspect this might be some kind of propaganda misinformation/ratf**king campaign. What's going on? (I'm doing my part, written over 500 hand written addressed letters to swing state voters, signed up for door knocking in WI).

I was helping run a big Sierra Club Chapter letter writing campaign. It will be the biggest in their history. This is what I hand wrote: With four combat veterans in my family, two wounded, and one who liberated the Nazi death camps I found the thumbs-up photo op near a grave site disqualifying. This disrespect is now everywhere: legal immigrants, childless cat ladies, minorities, even house pets--dog-eating immigrants. This is not the America they sacrificed for nor one I recognize. Last year, with Canadian wildfire smoke everywhere, I wondered if this was the future of summer: burning eyes and lungs, air purifiers. If we elect leaders who ignore these problems, I think so. That is why I am voting for Vice President Harris. She has exceeded my expectations. She beat the special interests & big polluters. Her optimism and joy are a welcome (and necessary) change.

This is a great read about what is happening in the polls. It’s a bit long, but he provides context into what we are seeing with polls, and the illusion of the “red wave.” Basically setting it up for the big lie. Ignore all polls and focus on getting Kamala Harris elected. Follow Simon Rosenberg on Twitter for more: https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/vp-harris-and-her-campaign-are-working

We know it’s easy to focus on polls and early vote data, but the truth is that polls don’t vote. We’re in the home stretch, and the single biggest impact you can have is through phone banking to talk to voters in swing states. This outreach is far more important in determining who wins the election than polls! Phone banking can impact voter turnout by as much as 3.8%. Would you be willing to join us over in <#1242256751445934262> and get started phone banking today?

Yes...good key notes to have if talking to pro-life friends and family. From the Daily Beast, including a Cheney quote: "I think there are many of us around the country who have been pro-life, but who have watched what’s going on in our states since the Dobbs decision, and have watched state legislatures put in place laws that are resulting in women not getting the care they need,” Cheney said during a moderated conversation with Harris in Malvern, Pennsylvania, on Monday.

We’re in the home stretch, and the single biggest impact you can have is through phone banking to talk to voters in swing states like Georgia. Phone banking can impact voter turnout by as much as 3.8%. Would you be willing to join us over in <#1242256751445934262> and get started phone banking today?

2024-10-22T01:50:14.208+00:00 by Aden W (TX) [ aw823 ]
If he wins the best bet for republicans would be to convince him to retire. He introduced a bill that would limit senators to 2 terms, so it would be pretty ironic for him to run for a 4th (he’s running for a third right now)
2024-10-22T01:56:28.751+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]
The only way he can keep winning is if he wins this time by 5%+
2024-10-22T01:57:25.087+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]
Democrats will turnout in the midterm election against Cruz in 2030 if it’s 5% and lower turnout for republicans it’s a flip
2024-10-22T01:58:38.286+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]

2024-10-22T01:59:46.361+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ]
I’ll give Cruz an electoral advantage in 2024 due to the Donald Trump turnout. He barely won in 2018 and he has only gotten more disliked

<@744633328107388979> please don't feel badly! We all contribute in the ways we can. Also, some folks who struggle with calling voters (me!) have had luck with our [Help Confirm Phonebanks](https://events.democrats.org/event/709269/?utm_source=Discord&utm_medium=Posts&utm_campaign=Daily%20Engagement) - you're literally just calling volunteers who are signed up for phone banks to remind them and see if they need a link to their zoom 🙂 but if that's not for you, in person canvassing is SO important and something to really be proud of!

I posted this because it shares helpful advice from a powerful supporter of Vice President Harris, tech billionaire Vinod Khosla, on a simple and empowering way for a regular voter to undermine what's he's doing.

Had my first conversation with someone online he was a Muslim in Wisconsin and he has been a victim of disinformation I talked to him a while we talked about the differences in policies and talked about Trump's capitulation and his wanting Israel to bomb Iran and destroy Gaza. By the end of our conversation I think I convinced him to choose Kamala over Trump. I presented to him evidence that America is on the brink of losing our freedom because of Donald Trump and Kamala can save us. So I asked him to go into the voting booth and choose Kamala in the best interest of America and the world.

PSA for any volunteers in the server: do not post pictures of your ballots. Some states will invalidate your ballot if you post a picture of it, and even if you aren’t in such a state it’s explicitly against server rules.

## Hi friends! Today is the first day of early voting in Wisconsin, and we are currently 300,000 calls behind our goal of the day. We need all the help we can get to reach out to Wisconsin voters and engage with them to get out the vote. I know that phone banking can be anxiety inducing, but it will all be worth it when Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are elected as the next President and Vice President of the United States. Can we count on you to help us reach our goal?

I strongly disagree with this, to be honest with you- no one is complacent here, everyone is very aware of the danger that trump could win, and undermining every bit of good news dampens enthusiasm. we have to be aware of the danger, but at the same time we have to believe that we can and will ultimately prevail and celebrating successes that are on the board here and now goes a long way for morale

and yeah, realistically it was not complacency that did hillary in, it was the lack of enthusiasm. it was easy to predict a landslide win for obama in 2008 (financial crash, 8 years of bush, etc) but people still showed up in droves not because they were worruied about a republican win but because they were excited to vote in Obama

Yes! I’ve been doing canvassing and GOTV for a local campaign. If I were in a swing state, I’d absolutely be canvassing for Harris. I’m about to drive 8hrs to go to her rally in Houston.

In addition to this, look at the types of propaganda put out by the opposition right now. It's not stuff meant to make us complacent, it's stuff meant to depress us. They know that's what's more likely to negatively impact our turnout.

I mean... yes, AND we could do a pretty good job of it ourselves if we were given equal autonomy and access. Maybe instead of *protecting* women, we examine the systems and structures that create a need to protect certain people more than others and dismantle those.

We're glad you're here and participating in ways that work best for you. Involving the people in your life can be a really effective way to make a difference. Rallies are not typically shared until a few days before for security reasons. You can reach out to your local Democratic office to get information about schedule and attendance. In the meantime, I recommend checking out the [**Organizing Your Friends and Family**](https://events.democrats.org/event/597621/?utm_source=Discord&utm_medium=Posts&utm_campaign=Daily%20Engagement) training.

Thanks for sharing this. Regardless of party, there should be protections in place to ensure older adults are safeguarded when it comes to campaign donations. It’s heartbreaking to think that some elderly individuals, who may not fully understand the impact of their actions, are unknowingly contributing large amounts of money.

Because people are letting fear rule them about the changes happening in this country. This is why doing all the things like phonebanking, canvassing, and combating misinformation and disinformation is so important. We understand the assignment as the pro-democracy ticket. Between today and Sunday I hosting a phonebank, a friendbank, making content, and was just asked to do GOTV presentation to Win With Black Women for disabled voters. We need to get everyone turned out to vote. At the end of the day I am gender non-conforming gay woman of the Global Majority with a disability so I can't just sit on the sidelines. I said this also as a moderate conservative who attended the Republicans for Harris campaign event in Bucks County, PA a week ago. However, I have been involved in the campaign since the first week since I understand the assignment (Never-Trumper) in ways that others who share similar political views took longer to get here. Lastly, people unfortunately care more about power than freedom.

There will be a good number of GOP voters that are voting for Harris. If between 5-10% of GOP voters in NV break for the pro-democracy ticket it is whole ballgame. The Republicans for Harris outreach is working. Plus we don't know how independent voters are going to break. We just need to keep Phonebanking and canvassing.

So more town halls with Liz Cheney. Well, we're going to find out how many of these disenchanted republicans exist on election day I guess. I for one find it rather demoralizing that the campaign keeps emphasizing the endorsements of the Cheneys whom I consider war criminals

Debating is not allowed on this server anywhere, this is the online volunteer office for Team Harris-Walz. We're united by our shared values here and are working together to defeat authoritarianism and preserve democracy and individual freedoms. Let's remember to assume best intentions and if we feel harmed by a message, DM the mods. We are highly responsive and will work with each of you to help maintain our Big Tent community and find a place for you to engage in positive action to help us win this election. That's more important than our individual policy or campaign concerns. This is a Harris-campaign supporter and volunteer server and we're all human here, working hard for one goal. Let's just be kind and remember this. Thank you.

Dick Cheney is not on the ticket and it's important to remember that anything you say here in our volunteer workspace is not going to reach Harris campaign advisors. We're here because we've already decided to support the Harris-Walz ticket and we're here to work for that ticket, whatever they may need. Let's focus on what we can change and control-voter turnout. 🙂

I understand that and do believe that was your intention. There's a fine line between expressing a strong opinion and stirring up debate in this channel especially. You can get support here, of course. We had "election anxiety" in mind with that rule, if that helps. I think the Cheney ship has already sailed and everyone is entitled to their opinion of that, we're just not the place to debate those opinions because it detracts from our objective and harms the unified team spirit we have here. Does that help? We do understand not everyone here is enthusiastic about every campaign choice and that's okay.

I am seeing movement, especially after J6. People in my life are more open to information, and unlike a lot of people who supported Trump, I grew up in NY during the 1980s, so I knew what time it was from the start.

Early voting was always going to be more Republican this time around because trump is actively encouraging his supporters to early vote and we don’t have democrats early voting in masse due to COVID. It’s hard to say the exact impact but I think that this balances out to less republicans and more democrats voting on Election Day

Word on the street is that Dems will need a firewall of 400k votes to ensure a PA victory. Dem returns outnumber Rep returns by 356k so far and we have a ways to go, but the number keeps increasing in the Dems favor. Will be at 400k by Monday and could hit 500k by Election Day.

Also note those return rates. Dems are returning ballots they’ve requested faster than the republicans, a sign of higher enthusiasm. You don’t have to mail in a ballot you’ve requested. Some decide to vote in person on Election Day and some decide to just not vote at all.

As for the balance of who’s voting — states like WI and MI don’t have party affiliation attached to a voter record like PA does. So really it’s just guesswork. Personally I have a hard time seeing massive early vote numbers being anything but a good sign for democrats.

PA is an important one to have any data on because it's probably going to be the deciding factor (ironically, because the media *really* wanted the 2020 race decided in Philly but it would up being GA).

My parents have been mailing in every ballot since COVID, because it was a pretty painless process. I just vote in person day-of after work, because 1. NJ is a reliable blue state with no shenanigans about getting votes in on time or purging registries. 2. My polling place is like 6 blocks from my house, I could walk there if I wanted to. 3. It's right next to the police station, so even if 1 didn't apply nobody would be trying anything.

An in-depth look at the Polymarket betting market (a platform created by Peter Thiel). Right after Elon Musk claimed that betting markets are the best predictors of elections, four massive bets (totaling 30 million dollars, possibly from one person) were placed. This had a huge effect on the odds - this is blatant manipulation! Polymarket is being used as a vehicle for deception to bolster the Republican narrative on this election! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1INviKkv7-c

It’s definitely interesting to see the shift in messaging from Trump, given the previous controversy surrounding mail-in voting. However, mail-in ballots are a legitimate and widely used method for voting across the U.S. Discouraging its use could disadvantage his voter base, so encouraging it ensures his supporters take advantage of all available voting methods. Rather than fighting against an established system that millions use, it makes sense to embrace it to maximize voter participation from his base.

I have a general question: have there been any updates on Kamala's potential sit-down with Joe Rogan? It was in the news a week or so ago that it was being considered, but then it all went quiet. Meanwhile, Trump has announced he's going on Joe Rogan, and X is full of BS traffic now how "Kamala is afraid". Wasn't she the first to contemplate such an appearance? Why would we cede the initiative on this narrative that Trump is the one backing out of interviews, that he's tired etc.? Because I think it was getting traction. Also, I think she generated a fair amount of buzz and publicity for going on Fox, and Rogan is unlikely to be any more hostile... Anyway, just frustrating that she missed out on the opportunity to keep being on offensive here.
2024-10-23T22:44:23.258+00:00 by KraakenTowers [ kraakentowers ]

Yeah, it’s definitely frustrating that Kamala hasn’t gone on Rogan yet, especially since she was the first to consider it. Timing could be part of the strategy, though—maybe they don’t want Trump’s appearance to dominate the headlines or give him an easy comparison. I agree it’d be great to keep her on the offensive with these kinds of interviews, especially after how well she handled Fox.

I see, so it was Rogan who rescinded the invitation. Too bad. Not surprising though, given that he's obviously right-leaning. I thought he was at least adventurous enough to try and mix it up on his "bro" show

Thank you, Vanessa. I'm glad I'm not the only one wishing that. I'm 100 % sure that she's not "afriad", because she's demonstrated she's quite fearless so many times.... I just hate to give those trolls more ammunition for their baseless attacks... I hope you are right, that she may still go on and eclipse whatever BS Trump is going to spout.

Trump is a master of grabbing headlines. Whenever he's in hot water, like just now over his praise for the Nazis and disrespecing fallen soldiers, he will go on Rogan, say some sensational nonsense and shift the narrative.. How can you pin down somone as slippery as him? Why are we the ones that are expected to behave like adults, to make sense, to provide detailed policy proposals, and all he has to do is to keep from sh..tting his pants in public (and even that he'd probably get away with)

People like to joke about whether Trump's mind has been eroded by his Adderall addiction, or his syphilis, or if it's just dementia. But this guy's claim to fame is that he got thrown through a table on his head from two stories in the air. And he can still speak more coherently than the enemy.

He’s a Republican goon who worked on Newt Gingrich’s Contract on/for America. He’s spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about Harris. If he’s trying to discredit something she’s doing, it means the VP is doing exactly the right thing.

I think there's a difference in what should be said by some guy in the NYT and what should be said in other places like e.g. this discord and, most certainly, within the higher echelons of the campaign

Immigration - Trump's comment about immigrants angered so many people. Who in good conscience could agree to Trump's policy of immigration? Inflation - Trump's proposed tariff policy would cause " inflation bomb ". In addition, inflation had lowered to 2.4% in September, thanks to Biden. Israel - Trump will unconditionally support Israel. How about Gaza humanitarian crisis? Trump will not care about Gaza.

Kamala can get her message across to those voters who are tired of the "back and forth attacks" between she and Trump. This will be a major key in getting the ones who are still on the fence.... What she has been saying regarding Trump and the things he has said on record making him an existential threat to our country MUST BE SAID. She needs to make her audience, the potential voters, UNDERSTAND the implications of the worst case scenario... Abortion rights and more money in people's pocket will not matter much if the government and infrastructure that gives the Dollar it's actual value ceases to function or collapses. The Dollar has the power to purchase goods and services through printed Legal Tender backed by the full faith and confidence of the Treasury of The United States. If the United States Constitution is thrown out, so is the value of the dollar. The only thing that people may be concerned with is REVERSE border security... THE COUNTRY COULD SEE A NEW IRON CURTAIN DESCEND... In that scenario, people need to ask themselves if no abortions and more money in their pocket is really WORTH THE COST. If we choose the wrong path, by the time people figure out that they made the wrong choice, they will have already passed the point of no return. Make the connection effectively between the greater good and the good of the individual and Kamala will see a shift in the poles. I HAVE FAITH! <:BlobThinkSmartBigBrainRollSafe:1277980629308411917>

I understand this very well, and you know.. yes, trump is a tough opponent, he have a huge missinformation structure by his side, but remember their convection? When they thought it was a won battle already? You can bet they know they are facing a tough opponent too, you can bet they are nervous and they should be, also remember the red wave that never came?

We have the ground game. They don't. That won't necessarily show up in public opinion polls. We have dedicated followers. Trump contracted out his campaign, paid to go door to door.

Some interesting data ... Harris has a massive lead in individual donors and in donations. And donations are coming from all parts of the country (see map below). There's so much out there that points to a Harris win in my mind--everything from yard signs, to volunteers, to the ground game, to her rallies to massive turn out in early votiing. But we have to keep working -- we have to make sure those donors show up at the polls.

Misinformation mostly. But Nevada and Arizona mostly vote by mail and are now counting ballots. Of all the swing states PA counts the slowest. So far Michigan has submitted the most absentee ballots, but thanks to them flipping the state legislature they passed a law to count faster. Georgia did the same thing but also passed some controversial laws. Wisconsin is a little funky

I don't have a lot of confidence in NV or AZ, but they also have such small EC totals that they won't come into play unless we get a weird situation where Harris carries NC but not PA.

27% of Arizona's 2020 turnout along with 23% of Nevada's 2020 turnout have already voted. However return rates are lagging behind the others with Arizona at 27% and Nevada at 9%. We also dont have the early in person data which could be a slight boost

According to the early voting data, the blue wall early vote is overwhelmingly Democrat & Independent (Which I would say is slightly even)

By the end of our conversation I think I convinced him to choose Kamala over Trump. I presented to him evidence that America is on the brink of losing our freedom because of Donald Trump and Kamala can save us. So I asked him to go into the voting booth and choose Kamala in the best interest of America and the world.
Thanks for the account of the Muslim man you talked with.

You may think you just need to find the correct oligarch for your side, but it's just not gonna work out well. If these social media are going to be where politicians, journalists, etc interact, they need to be regulated by _elected governments_ not just TOS designed to maximize profits for shareholders

Good point to make <@337633121971208202> - and thanks for the quick research <@1145541274988982434> ! - but overall, I would recommend waiting until the press conference gives us more information & context to see what the story actually is.

Does anyone know where this letter is? Politico reports as being the sole owner, but I want a copy. Want to mail a copy of this letter to every one of my neighbors that isn’t ashamed to have a trump sign in their yard!

That sounds like interesting dinner conversations. 🤣 I’m waiting for Giants/Pats so I can give him more grief 🤣 I mean the first text I woke up to was a congrats text from a Red Sox fan… Maybe it’s me (I’m Gen X) but growing up this was always there but you just KNEW better. I mean even with that historic rivalry when 9/11 happened the Red Sox were the first ones there. When the Boston Marathon bombing happened the Yankees were the first ones there. There is a respect that opposing sides had for each other… what happened to that? 😖

Why hasn't anyone on Kamala's campaign FACT CHECKED Trump on this and put it into all of her appearances...Multiple studies have found that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born citizens. 1 For example, a 2020 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that immigrants were 60% less likely to be incarcerated than U.S.-born citizens. 2 Additionally, a 2021 study by the Justice Department found that nearly 90% of prosecutions of immigrants were for violations of immigration-related laws, while U.S.-born citizens were more likely to be incarcerated for violent and property crimes. https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/debunking-myth-immigrants-and-crime "The data showed that as the immigrant share of the population grew, the crime rate declined.

replying to 2024-10-26T04:15:46.364+00:00 by Jungstir Kamala should go on Joe Rogan.
He was super biased in a favorable way to Donold from what few clips I could stomach to watch. Rogan calling the media bias against conservatives etc. etc. That said, she went into the lions den that is FOX, and IMHO, came out stronger. I think Rogan would be easier in some ways. 🤷 Maybe Tim Walz could test the waters first? The two different ideas of masculinity side by side would be interesting to say the least.

> The Harris team said around 30,000 supporters filled the Texas rally, according to multiple reports. Over 1.5 million reportedly registered to attend the rally. The venue has a seating capacity of just over 22,000, although it typically hosts outdoor sporting events and many Harris supporters were standing on the field Friday.

Don’t. I was at that Harris rally last night. The energy was amazing. Kamala Harris is my favorite candidate that I’ve been eligible to vote for President and I will be voting for her. My first ever vote. Ignore the drama. We can get the vote out. Let’s do this. Let’s also remember all the incredible qualities of Kamala Harris. It’s what motivated me to get off the sidelines. 💙

replying to 2024-10-26T16:31:20.838+00:00 by karawithak I’ve gotta say y’all trump’s ground game in Michigan is baffling to me. I drove up to Grand Rapids yesterday from Chicago and so far I’ve seen more billboards from the Harris campaign and super pacs I can count, but I haven’t seen a single pro Trump billboard. even in the rural areas. It’s weird right? you’d think given how cheap billboards are that they would put some money into that
Just drove I-70 through rural Missouri last night and there were more DT billboards for sure than what you're describing.

And performatively going against transgender people is not what appeals to moderates. Moderates want to hear common sense solutions to their problems, not culture war talking points to divide American citizens from each other. The polls and electoral results have born this out; the proper response to conservatives transphobia is not to capitulate to it but to show that we care about actual problems and not the culture war

Hi <@1254791015177654385>. This campaign is a big tent, and we welcome trans and non-binary folks here. That means we don't compromise on bigotry in the interest of winning votes. It wouldn't be acceptable to say we should compromise on racist or sexist things, so it's not acceptable to say we should compromise on transphobia. Still, if you would like to send suggestions to the campaign, there is a mechanism for doing so, which is [here ](https://kamalaharris.com/contact-us/).

While texting, I have been seeing more and more voters against Harris/Walz citing keywords like Gaza, Palestine, and genocide (as you all may know). The frequency is probably 1 in 20 replies now. We do not respond to these tagged replies, just close and save and pray someone out there reaches out or Kamala reaches those voters. I looked through the REACH library to see if there would be some gems I could use in person when talking to these voters or to those on the phone, and the only note is a video of Kamala, before the sea pier was built to bring food to Gaza....last year really. That is it....there is no content for us to use. Today I found this...it is something. I do feel the campaign is very very hesitant in saying anything at all....but we need something ...this is all I have found on my own so far. If it is not ok, just delete it.

Totally understand your view here. It's a very hot topic, which means so much to so many people .. in a million different ways. This issue is complicated and just like you and others.. I wish there was a clear answer or way to make the situation resolve and lives to stop being lost. Please hang in there! <:blueheart:1252803082849488956>

Here is a clip of Trump saying he's calling Netanyahu regularly and sabotaging ceasefire plans: https://xcancel.com/TheDailyEdge/status/1849206453866999873#m. And here's a video of Lawrence O'Donnell arguing that a vote for Stein is a vote for mass deportation. His closing line is to the effect of: "when millions of people, including Muslims, are being deported from the US under the travel ban Trump has vowed to bring back (and which Biden rescinded immediately in early 2021), they can thank their friends who voted for Jill Stein." The clip also shows AOC calling Stein "predatory," and two Harris/DNC campaign ads about Stein. https://www.reddit.com/r/AnythingGoesNews/comments/1g9yolo/lawrence_odonnell_a_vote_for_jill_stein_is_a_vote/. Finally, here are Palestinians saying Trump would be the worst for them: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/23/trump-would-be-the-worst-palestinians-react-to-us-presidential-race.

Love that! Great resource. Thank you! one advantage of when we reach the above voters by phone is we can listen to their concerns and let them know we’re passing their words on anonymously to the campaign, where our debrief will get read. I have said “I will put exactly what you want the campaign to hear, talk to me..” then I do the contrasting candidate spiel. They’re more willing to listen to the facts if they’ve already been heard. I will tell callers in rehearsal etc about the above. I don’t know how that translates to texting —is there that opportunity as much for that moment of “you are heard”?

Hey <@824574425575063592> 👋 woohoo for getting your vote in! I voted early too and it was really energizing!! We are so close to election day and being surrounded by a sea of red is really motivating me to get in reach with anyone I can to help us win.

Kamala Harris has said time and again that she wants a two-state solution. I don't think any president has ever said this, at least in my lifetime. I think that fact could use more prominence/airtime. Update: Ok, that was incorrect. But I guess I didn't hear it said during the debates of this year... Regardless, in the decision at hand only one candidate has said they want a two state solution, and that is Kamala Harris.

To be fair, the two state solution has actually been the stated position of every president except trump- it’s a question of if we think they’ll acc work towards that gol, which I do for kamal

Hi <@1273910058132181030> I'm not familiar with either of the research outfits behind the survey this article refers to so I'll address this more broadly. I think all of us are well aware that a poll is only as good as the questions that are asked, the sample set and how that data is presented. Please refrain from painting everyone from Israel with one brush. As Americans, consider how painful it is to be told that all Americans support our opposition. We know this is not true even as we do know that some do. Let's not do that to the people living in other countries. I refer you to our campaign's official message, [Stand With Our Allies, Stand Up to Dictators, and Lead on the World Stage](https://kamalaharris.com/issues/#:~:text=Dictators%2C%20and%20Lead-,on,-the%20World%20Stage) Click on this section to open and read campaign positions on Israel and Palestine

if you read the article, it's a couple israeli polling agencies who present poll results in which they found more israelis want trump to win than want Harris to win. So to avoid painting israelis broadly which would indeed be very painful, I will rephrase to say that "some israeli polling has found that more israelis want Trump to win than want Harris to win"

The Reach app has a Library of content you can download and send to her. You can share with her that Trump says he will revoke the citizenship of naturalized citizens. (You can find that in new stories, if you search.) You can also point her to http://kamalaharris.com/issues where Kamala contrasts her position on immigration and people of color with what Trump is proposing in Project 2025 and elsewhere.
2024-10-27T18:00:00.303+00:00 by Terri S [AZ] Mod [ terrishafer_91141 ]
You can share with your Indian American neighbor that Trump plans to cut Social Security and Medicare as well as end the Affordable Care Act. He is also planning to end the cap on insulin costs, reinstate the ability of insurers to deny coverage for preexisting conditions, and remove the cap on annual spending for prescription drugs. His tariff plan will raise the average person's costs by $4,000 per year. Those are major issues for all communities.

DJT already had a dept of denaturalization -- your neighbor and her community may think they are OK because they've done nothing wrong, but when there's no more rule of law anyone can be vulnerable to being accused of wrongdoing. This is why the matter is so serious and why four-star generals are speaking out. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51681840.

<@1139259114028019782> you can also direct your neighbor to They See Blue, if they are not already familiar, as that org is specifically focused on mobilizing voters of South Asian descent and will have a broad range of resources and talking points specifically targeting this group of voters.

I have some information that the reason a lot of South Asian Americans are voting Trump because of his extreme anti Muslim views. Which makes the whole Muslim protest vote for Trump or Stein all the more ironic and sad

replying to 2024-10-27T16:48:10.461+00:00 by gibberish_grinch if you read the article, it's a couple israeli polling agencies who present poll results in which they found more israelis want trump to win than want Harris to win. So to avoid painting israelis broadly which would indeed be very painful, I will rephrase to say that "some israeli polling has found that more israelis want Trump to win than want Harris to win"
A lot of Israelis, especially those coming from former USSR have been brainwashed through the same right wing Kremlin propaganda sewage pipe as the American MAGA

Just watched the Vance disastrous performance in CNN. So everyone in Trump administration that has raised the alarms about his authoritarian tendencies is because they are disgruntled employees, I wish they have more time for the interview so Tapper could have done more damage to Vance’s logic , he was making stuff up and was trying to pivot to their BS talking points. I meant this is not hearsay the enemy from within topic is something Trump has repeatedly used and it is just incredibly that people that knows better keeps sanitizing this madness, even Vance has called Trump American Hitler. Vance should take a look at the people that surrounds Trump and specially pay attention what happened to his last running mate😬

MICHELLE OBAMA SPEECH …PRICELESS!! https://youtu.be/ud1oky7uESs?si=KL9KqSj4Mw2a2vDQ">https://youtu.be/ud1oky7uESs?si=KL9KqSj4Mw2a2vDQ There are still 18% persuadable voters. Best argument for them: If we are to win this election, let us AMPLIFY MICHELLE OBAMA’S recent speech: https://youtu.be/ud1oky7uESs?si=KL9KqSj4Mw2a2vDQ">https://youtu.be/ud1oky7uESs?si=KL9KqSj4Mw2a2vDQ, which is very important! Rich in data, Michelle beautifully presents the choice we face on November 5 through real-life experiences: WHO HAS YOUR BACK? TRUMP OR KAMALA HARRIS Starting at minute 17—particularly from minutes 18, 19:30 (the economy, JOBS LOST TO TECHNOLOGY, ELON MUSK’S ROBOTS), minute 20 (WOMEN’S HEALTH, not just reproductive rights), and minute 22 (an explanation for men about women’s health), up to 29:00: TO THE MEN THAT LOVE US (priceless message). IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN CLOSING ARGUMENT: WOMEN, PERSUADE MEN TO VOTE FOR KAMALA IN SOLIDARITY WITH WOMEN's CAUSES: HEALTH RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUALITY (and particularly, my take for the economic message: Equal pay for equal work!) Quotes: • “A vote for Trump is a vote against us.” • “TO THE MEN THAT LOVE US.” • “We women have every right to DEMAND that the men in our lives do better by us.” • “We women will become collateral damage to your rage.” • “Let us use our voices to make the men in our lives stand for us, not for Trump.”

Michelle Obama’s speech is rich in persuasive points and data! It’s definitely worth listening to. I highlighted some sections of the video point by point, but if someone can help organize these by topic and timestamp, you’ll have excellent arguments for your phone calls.

But we get to choose whether we feed that anxiety or channel it into action! We have mindfulness sessions regularly in this server to help our vols manage stress.

I am confused about what the meme-vault is for. I posted something there, adding a meme and was told that it’s used to motivate/pump up volunteers making calls. Explains why most of the memes there are about phone banking. I stopped using it for that reason. Maybe it should have a different name if it’s not meant to be for posting memes.

I'm tuning into parts of Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden today, and I honestly can't believe some of the statements from Tony Hinchcliffe. As an American, it's appalling to hear this kind of rhetoric. It truly reminds me that Kamala Harris is a leader who genuinely embodies American values.

The Trump campaign can just say it was the “comedian’s” view not Trump’s. Even if Trump did say it there is nothing short of him saying the n word live on TV that would hurt his base. Trump has done or said a bunch of damning things but his supporters still defend the behavior.

> _“You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.”- Mahatma Gandhi_ it's stressful, watching this. in fact it's scary. and for a few of us, a little too familiar. the good news (and there is some!) is that even with all their talk, they're not the majority. we have new endorsements from influential people even just today. but many are still not aware of what's going on, or not informed of how serious the situation is. the best way to make a difference in the coming days, is to do everything we can to get every single person to vote. > _“When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak up.”_ no effort is fruitless. the more of us who volunteer and take initiative, the less support they get. by reaching out to those voters to make sure they have an action plan, we're closer to ensuring that democracy is saved. i see a few people here aren't on any calls or text teams, and we're in serious need of people for outreach, especially in dialing. it's a lot easier than it seems! even i've been able to do it! and helping to make those calls means making a difference. turning anxiety into action helps to get rid of that helpless witness feeling too. head on over to <#1242256751445934262> to get started taking action. even just one call is more than no effort made. and every call contributes to our [goal of 10 million calls!](https://events.democrats.org/event/734916/?[utm_source=Discord&utm_medium=Posts&utm_campaign=Daily%20Engagement) so now is the best time to start!

Interesting. This article just links to a twitter post for the original though. While I love twitter for standardizing the idea of reading full length articles and letters as a series of compressed jpgs, which is a great way to transmit text data, does anyone have a link to the full text of these leaders' letter as text not an image?

Yes, it's true that his voters don't care -- but he can't win with just his MAGA base, and independents and decent Republicans DO care. They will decide the election. And then, we must do everything in our power to end the MAGA movement in America.

Trump has had extremely widespread support among republicans. I don't have the latest numbers. It is also possible to boost Kamala's numbers by energizing more people in the democratic base as well as the decent republicans.

True. However, there are roughly equal numbers of registered Republican and Democratic voters in the electorate. There is a huge swath of unaffiliated or Independent voters, and they are breaking for VP Harris. And a sizable number of Republicans who are publicly rejecting Trump's fascism. He hasn't expanded his base, so why would we think he could do better in 2024 than he did in 2020?

A reminder that if you see on social media some positive early voting signs or polls, be sure to post something to the effect of reminding that 2016 looked positive too, but Trump got elected, and no mater how good things look we have run through the tape/push through to and past the end. Something to that effect. It's a delicate balance because we don't want to kill enthusiasm, but we also need to keep people from being complacent. The MAGA and Herritage Foundation etc. operatives, lawyers, and base are relentless, and we need to not match but exceed them on this level to ensure we save our rights and democracy.

You make a good point! Talking about 2016 probably only motivates the already motivated anyway eh? No, there are a lot of reasons 2016 was different. I'm not diminishing that at all. Honestly, we could list all that things the campaign could have done better for hours. And as much as it hurts people to hear it, the Clintons are DEEPLY unpopular amongst many republicans. So you're totally right. I just remember the feeling leading up to the election and people where I was at thought this was in the bag months before Nov. 5th. I'm going to take your advice and save the sticks for only when needed and use the carrot to motivate as much as possible, if that makes any sense. 😆

Historically, the success of Washington’s football team in its final home game before a presidential election has been a reasonably reliable indicator of the outcome. And on Sunday, the Commanders were going to lose — until they didn’t, because the rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels completed a 52-yard miracle touchdown pass as time expired. The 18-15 victory, beyond ensuring that the Commanders remain in first place in the N.F.C. East, may also have implications for those in Washington jittery about that other looming contest. In 17 of the 21 presidential campaigns since the team moved to Washington in 1937, the outcome of its final home game before Election Day has accurately predicted the outcome. It was called the Redskins Rule, before the team changed its name, and it held that if Washington won, the incumbent party in the White House would win the election. If Washington lost, the other party would prevail. By that measure, Washington’s sensational comeback on Sunday would signal good news for Vice President Kamala Harris and bad news for former President Donald J. Trump.

We are going to win this election. We are still joyful warriors, but we also understand the deadly risk to our democracy that a Trump victory represents. As the campaign has evolved, Trump and his cronies have increasingly exposed their fascist DNA. The campaign messages have been serious all along but are evolving to reflect the fascist threat that Trump's former advisors are talking about. We are joyful warriors, but we are warriors nonetheless, determined to protect and preserve the Constitution of the United State of America.

Worth considering -- common types of mis/disinfo to watch for, as per SciAM and according to UW researchers: 1) Non-citizen voting claims: Watch for deceptive "person on street" videos with edited subtitles/content falsely showing non-citizens saying they'll vote 2) Admin bias rumors: Minor local election errors will be exaggerated/twisted to claim widespread corruption. Debunked in FL ballot typo case. 3) "Suspicious activity" claims: Expect social posts about mysterious vans/equipment at polling places - similar to debunked 2020 claims where news photographers were painted as suspicious actors https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/these-are-the-rumors-and-misinformation-to-watch-for-on-election-day/

Many of you may have heard about Trump's comment that he shares "a little secret" with Mike Johnson in congress. An obvious possibility is that this refers to a plan to refuse to certify votes from some states and throw the election to a house majority vote (this was an unsuccessful plan in 2020). This is receiving a fair bit of media attention now, as reviewed in this article: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/10/28/2280418/-Trump-s-Little-Secret-is-Starting-to-Get-Media-Notice?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=trending&pm_medium=web

Debunked in FL ballot typo case. 3) "Suspicious activity" claims: Expect social posts about mysterious vans/equipment at polling places - similar to debunked 2020 claims where news photographers were painted as suspicious actors https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/these-are-the-rumors-and-misinformation-to-watch-for-on-election-day/

I agree that there’s always polling error but mathematically an average of swing state polls should be more accurate since there’s more of them. However the Iowa and Alaska polls could end up being right. Kansas within 5% is definitely off though

This is what ive been talking about. MAGA Republicans have been spreading lies about mail in voting, they know democrats primarily use mail in voting, and because of that certain individuals are willing to break the law to steal the election. If you believe your ballot was affected, please call your local election officials. And if you haven’t returned your ballot, PLEASE hand deliver it if you can. The mail is not safe or reliable. https://www.abc15.com/news/region-phoenix-metro/central-phoenix/ballots-damaged-after-usps-mail-collection-box-fire-near-7th-avenue-and-indian-school-road

Hi Jen - OK - I took down the statement made today by our UN Ambassador, which gives a somewhat new stance on Israel from the Biden-Harris administration. Volunteers seem hungry for talking points to share with many voters who are seriously thinking of staying home or third party due to the US response to wars in Gaza & Lebanon. "Stand With Our Allies" does not have any information about the Harris positions. I searched Reach with several search terms and only found a March video of Kamala and several on the great harm Trump would cause to Gazans. Please let me know if there is other Reach content and also who I can send content to so it might be added. - Thanks in advance, Dan

Unfortunately I'm 5 foot show I got a great shot of people arms. LOL. Sadly, I watching it on Youtube as I couldn't actually see Kamala. But the campaign comes with water and food. And all those cheers were from the crowd around me. But next time I'd love to go to an arena and sit down. Funniest thing was the DJ playing YMCA. The crowd all kind of looked at each other. Thanks to the campaign for having a rally where they are extremely rare in campaign season.

Concerned / frustrated / angry about Biden’s garbage comment. Has Harris campaign responded yet? Hopefully a “I do not believe Donald Trump’s supporters are garbage. I believe his hateful rhetoric is, but his supporters are Americans and as I’ve said numerous times, I will listen to them and fight for them, too.” can control some of the damage.

This is my fear as well. Imagine someone leaning toward Trump because of the "economy and stuff," hearing about the MSG rally and thinking of switching sides because of that hateful rhetoric. Then, they tune in to CNN and see this. They might say: "Oh, they think I'm garbage if I choose Trump? Yeah, the other side is not better, finally."

This is the equivalent of the "basket of deplorables" debate during the 2016 election. It isn't going to actually sway undecideds. The rhetoric game is too intense these days for this comment to make a difference
