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.

replying to 2024-08-03T20:24:47.008+00:00 by Tai [Mod & Kamala's Captain] Okay I want to be clear about that news I posted if individuals don’t want to read it since I’m sure it will come up unfortunately: 1) No child or children 2) Kerstin and Doug are fine 3) He told Harris early in their relationship 4) Biden team knew in 2020 during their vetting for VP

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 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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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”.

It will take a bit to get robust info up on Reach and even on kamalaharris.com but it should be going up very soon.

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.

I think we all recognize this, but the best way to make our concerns and desires known is to reach out to Democratic representatives. They're preparing for the DNC and like to hear from us voters!

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!

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.

2024-08-09T01:03:05.619+00:00 by Wim [ energetic_mango_75468 ] avatar

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.

replying to 2024-08-09T01:03:05.619+00:00 by Wim 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 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.

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)

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 ] avatar

Nation wide attorneys.

2024-08-10T21:07:25.04+00:00 by Beth Baras Vermont [ bethbarasvermont ] avatar

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?

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

replying to 2024-08-12T06:09:51.477+00:00 by Mike - (NE/Abroad) 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

Deadbeat Don needs to be a meme for the campaign

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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

2024-08-12T13:46:27.427+00:00 by Charlie [ zeltzerzootz ] avatar

factor all that in, with the 443M vertic out of NYC that he still has to pay, and the sentencing date in Semptember, he's broke

(mod hat off on this statement): I'm usually skeptical b/c he always seem to survive his financial disasters but based on his vast history of bankruptcy and fraud, I wouldn't be surprised at all that this is a huge factor in his weakening profile and presence.

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

They also use the same propaganda and Big Lie tactics of Mein Kampf. 🤯 < why we don't ban books like MK. So we can recognize when someone's using it as a playbook or using its principles.

If you stop people from reading a book, they can never learn how truely bad it is. The only reason more people dont know about it now is because its so like... hush hush.

i love that he also backed out of the 45M he was going to donate lol

2024-08-12T14:43:00.489+00:00 by Suzy Baka [ suzy_baka ] avatar

I think he’s donating $45m monthly to a PAC

2024-08-12T14:43:17.112+00:00 by Suzy Baka [ suzy_baka ] avatar

I think he said he’s not donating it to Trump (which is true ig)

2024-08-12T14:43:34.309+00:00 by Suzy Baka [ suzy_baka ] avatar

But it’s still going to a PAC that wants to reelect him

2024-08-12T14:47:32.476+00:00 by Charlie [ zeltzerzootz ] avatar

oh! i heard he like cancelled all upcoming donations

As to other sources .. all the right wing outlets have stories: Newsmax, Breitbart, Fox and some fringe ones I never heard of. I am seeing no stories about what the real story is.

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.

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.

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. I appreciate your understanding!

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?

I created this using yapms.com. I didn't use any real sources for this map, keeping the obvious swing states in the tossup and being general with how the other solid/lean states fall into place. Pretty much just what I think, but I'd love to hear from others across the country what they think is most accurate.

2024-08-13T03:07:04.597+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ] avatar

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. 🙂

2024-08-13T03:12:42.268+00:00 by Ophelia • Lead Mod [ opheliabanana ] avatar

With just those 3 adding to their forecast, we would WIN.

I definitely am not technical about it but just based this on surprise polling results just released this weekend. Showing a major shift in those three states. 🙂

Here's a similar map for the Senate races:

2024-08-13T03:22:13.901+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ] avatar

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 ] avatar

I'm hoping for some big push to put Texas and Florida in play. At the moment, Texas is a long shot but Florida... just maybe.

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.

2024-08-13T03:31:02.395+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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.

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

Hillary did great in the debates (he helped her) but one lesson is that she came across as too serious and know-it-all which can be off putting.

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. 🤞

Does anyone know what role if any Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has in the HW campaign? https://thehill.com/business/4743521-coinbase-adviser-bottoms-biden-campaign/ I did attend CryptoForHarris but I was not actually sure if she was involved.

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 ] avatar

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?"

I think a lot more people will feel the negativity of a second trump term more than a group of people who have exhibited frequent and intense signs of being called weird as hell.

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.

As Walz said about the weird stuff, it's not name calling it's an observation.

2024-08-18T21:36:14.125+00:00 by KutieKatelyn [ kutiekatelyn ] avatar

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)

yeah make sure your local polls have enough poll workers signed up

2024-08-19T03:56:50.097+00:00 by Dillon Henriksen (IN) [ atlas191 ] avatar

And the idea of the Blue Wave is very important for this as well, so if they try and tamper with results it will be more obvious since Kamala has so much support

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

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 🙄

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.

I think by doing something like this, he knows TS is a strong influence, and he's certainly looking to sew doubt and uncertainty about facts themselves. Like, trying to set a scene where nobody can believe their eyes and ears to muddy up how much others can influence his planned path.

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

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.

Wow! I'm in Maine and didn't realize the reliably red district was that close! Fantastic news. I'll see what I can do locally to help with that!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

We will find out tomorrow night.

Yeah I agree. The conflict probably can’t be resolved today but small symbolic gestures like this can still make a difference.

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. It’s been poisoned and I and other KamalaCrat’s would like to save as many folks that have been poisoned and would like to end their suffering. Your energy is welcome here. Welcome to the K-Verse.

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?

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

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?

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).

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

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!

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)

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 possible that your specific link would've been considered fine (I wouldn't know, I wasn't the one to remove it), but given the scale of our operation here, best not to take that risk for the many links we see passing through here. I hope that makes sense.

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.

I feel like trying to do anything but what the guidelines state is just asking for trouble. I don’t want to discuss Trump as the media circus is incredibly fixated on him. You could make a separate forum to allow the noise but all that’ll do is just get some dude to screenshot this server and be like “look they’re weaponizing social media to hurt me” and get shut down. Really, civility will help us most of all.

as Kamala Harris said: “Our nation with this election has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past… this is our “…chance to chart a new way forward, not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans.”

This discord server is incredibly organized, and probably designed that way to keep us towards a common goal. The way congress is structured itself needs to change, especially with these gerrymandered districts. I’m hoping we get that hope riding high into November. Criticism of Harris doesn’t mean being a jerk lol

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. For the second, well, this server is run by the DNC and the Harris/Walz campaign. It's basically our field office for the virtual space.

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.

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.

replying to 2024-08-24T06:00:32.003+00:00 by Luminos 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

I don't know if that's something truly important to him anymore. Trump famously is anti regulation, and P2025 has plans to nerf the EPA into obsoletion.

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.

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.

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.

I agree. I’m pretty pumped to vote for a ticket that has a much more earnest representation of what the American family can look like.

Trump urged police to shoot shoplifters. He claimed that he could shoot anybody on Fifth Avenue in New York City and not lose a single vote. His violent character would cause more frustration and chaos to American politics.

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

I suppose to sum up, investing in people will pay for itself.

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.

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 ] avatar

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.'

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 😦

Personally I get very nervous over the phone which limits what I can do there (I still do calls but not as much as I would otherwise) but I’m signing up for text team and looking for postcard organizations if openings arrive. Can’t get complacent.

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.

<@623298709530214412> I'm curious...what else do you do to try to appeal to lifelong Republicans who supported Reagan or George H.W. Bush but now back Trump, even though there are such stark contrasts between them? It seems like pointing out the differences in their approaches, especially regarding foreign policy and respect for democratic institutions, could be a way to make them reconsider as you mentioned. I'm interested in hearing if you've found anything that really resonates with them.

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.

Important news for reproductive rights: Vance said yesterday that Trump would veto an abortion ban. This is disingenuous, as Vance knows. First, because Trump plans on having presidential immunity, and second, because Vance himself signed a letter to the DOJ asking them to enforce the Comstock Act of 1873. Vance comment: https://apnews.com/article/trump-vance-abortion-ban-veto-roe-democrats-6a594ed5252c38bd2418c472f67a07c6 Comstock act letter: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24834197-20230123-letter-on-comstock-to-doj

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

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 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.

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

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.

There’s also a South American tradition of ‘liberation theology’ which is basically a mix of socialist activism and Christianity

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.

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.

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.

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 ] avatar

"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 ] avatar

"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 ] avatar

"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 ] avatar

"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.

Didn't know this -- or maybe it's just launched-- but KH has a new Project 2025 page on her website: https://kamalaharris.com/project2025/. Learned about it via this brand-new TikTok on @kamalahq: https://www.tiktok.com/@kamalahq/video/7408210554676022574.

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

I think it’s hard to measure and also it hasn’t even been a week since her speech. Many polls are conducted over the course of more than a week.

At least you get a book out of it. Unlike his trading card scam, where each "digital trading card" (NFT) costs $99. But if you buy 15 of them, you get a single physical trading card with a piece of the suit he wore in the Biden debate.

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.

That makes sense. The majority of T* supporters are locked-in (based on folks I know). I'd prefer to find other walls to bang my head against (figuratively!).

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.

2024-08-29T19:24:29.651+00:00 by DiscoDave (TX) [ disco_dave_24 ] avatar

And I’m so encouraged by all of you and to see 200+ showing up on phone banks. I’m not even sure how that compares to earlier this election or to other elections, but I love all the people showing up!

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 ] avatar

Georgia’s votes just get thrown out entirely

2024-08-29T19:50:37.558+00:00 by Jake Henderson (NJ-2) [MOD] [ i_am_anxious02 ] avatar

I believe so

2024-08-29T19:51:51.685+00:00 by Jake Henderson (NJ-2) [MOD] [ i_am_anxious02 ] avatar

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

2024-08-29T19:51:56.477+00:00 by Jake Henderson (NJ-2) [MOD] [ i_am_anxious02 ] avatar

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.

Hey everyone. I’ve been trying to talk to Muslim and Arab voters about Kamala and most of them are skeptical because of Gaza. I’ve been trying to reason with them by pointing out how Trump will be worse like how he’s going to annex the West Bank, etc. Which I think has worked but after today they started talking about how it’s in a full scale invasion.

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.

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

2024-08-30T00:38:25.36+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ] avatar

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/

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. Lmk if this is the wrong place to post this or if I should create a new space to talk about this stuff. 🙂

Personal note about the interview: avoiding answering the "so you think bidenomics was successful?" question directly was extremely skillful. I think we all saw a flash of prosecutor Kamala there.

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

My tack has been: vote for her or don't. 🤷🏾 Conservative Muslims and Arabs were never going to vote D, any more than the averate MAGA. Gaza only presents another pretext. Uncommitted keeps moving the goalposts under the facade of being "anti-genocide," and their tactics toward the Democrats don't do one thing for Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank or Israel. This movement has shot itself in the foot.

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!

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.

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!

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 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)

That's true, I suppose banning isn't the only way to end fracking.

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.

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.

I am not trying to be rude, but I legitimately don't understand why anyone would care what admittedly ideologically opposed people said about their relatives. Substantiated personal stories about weird stuff from their past oppo research stuff maybe? This isn't like "oh [big political family with lots if history] maybe agrees with me!"

Dude, you got something to say, get on with it. Doubt he has anything. If he did, he’d be tell people. What getting from this is that he’s trying to get money offers to spill whatever beans he has.

I watched the first third of the CNN interview VP Harris and Gov. Walz did. I was SO disappointed with the choice of CNN. Does anyone know why the campaign picked CNN and why it wasn't a live interview? CNN's reputation and reporting is terrible. CBS, ABC, PBS, or NPR or even one of the content creators they invited to the DNC would have been better. It's hard to defend against "well Trump goes on NBC and places he's not welcome" when our candidate is on CNN

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

2024-09-02T01:48:30.074+00:00 by Brit [ bucket007 ] avatar

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

"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 😎

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.

I agree with you. Biden had the energy to push back and demean him (“will you shut up, man?”). I think if Harris can make a point to show the emperor has no clothes while also demonstrating her positions she’s going to look pretty strong

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.

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.

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.

(apologies if this isn't the right venue) Todays financial stuff - Elon will do efficiency audits, tariffs will provide the funding for child care and Vance says to get more Grandparents and Aunts and uncles for child care. How is this race 50/50?

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!

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

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!

About 30% of people are just going to always be hateful bigots. We have to outwork them, because we live in a system where we gave them the power to overrule everyone else.

I don’t believe 30% of people genuinely believe in forced hateful marriages with violence. I think people just willingly overlook stuff like this because “their policies are better” (they are not)

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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.

Of course. But if people show up and vote, you could get statewide changes, which would result in a less hospitable environment for making those kinds of anti-voter changes at the local levels

replying to 2024-09-07T22:03:46.843+00:00 by Quajek It's not that Texas has lazy voters. It's that Texas has enough registered Democrats who are inconsistent voters who either don't believe their vote matters or don't understand the importance of voting that it's important for us to remember that Texas can flip and for us to communicate to them that Texas can flip

The last thing I’ll say is maybe listen to Texans and not assert your knowledge on state you’re not a resident of. ✌🏽

Discourse in terms of communicating is absolutely welcome. Debating is not within our community guidelines. We are a big tent here, and we are here to work together, to activate and do something, and to elect Kamala Harris

I really don't think I've said anything that isn't correct here. Targeting and mobilizing a small number of registered Democratic voters could flip Texas. Statistics back this up. I am not making value judgements on anyone

2024-09-07T22:06:24.232+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

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.

2024-09-07T22:06:59.512+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

that's something i can only see happening with Kamala in power, which is why i'm seeing a LOT of democrats in Texas here being so charged up to do so.

2024-09-07T22:07:43.464+00:00 by Quajek [ quajek ] avatar

My entire point is just that Texas genuinely could be in play.

2024-09-07T22:07:45.254+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

there _is_ change happening and you can _feel it._ there's record numbers of new voters registrating even here. i'm confident there's a powerful enough movement, we can finally make this happen.

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/

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!

Remember what Michelle Obama said: This campaign is not always going to be met with good news, but when we see stuff like this, don't despair, __do something__. 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.

replying to 2024-09-08T18:00:11.922+00:00 by Kuchi Two years ago around this time, don't forget that Dr. Oz was ahead in the polls. How much did Fetterman end up winning by?

Was he? There was no way he was going to win

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

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.

Darn right. Margin of error is margin of EFFORT - we can do this. Not that I trust a lot of the polls 😉

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.

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

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.

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.

I wonder why Biden struggled so much in Miami-Dade county so much last election. If he matched Clinton's numbers he might've been able to win that state knowing how well he did in Jacksonville and Tampa

Though that probably doesn't account for enough of his losses

2024-09-10T16:46:06.466+00:00 by ElfSolidarity [ elfsolidarity ] avatar

I think his diminished popularity among minorities probably explains it

2024-09-10T16:46:21.632+00:00 by ElfSolidarity [ elfsolidarity ] avatar

Since he did *gain* among the old white people in retirement communities, that loss has to come from somewhere

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?

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.

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.

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?

Eh, I think that's too complicated a subject. However, a top general (I think) who worked with him said that he's easily manipulated. I think that would make for a better message.

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

and many would/have slipped into hatred because of tragedies like this, blaming the entire goup for one bad person's actions. the fact they're conscious that it was just one person and that it doesn't represent immigrants as a whole, says a lot about their character, too

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

Harris did two additional interviews since CNN. Both Radio Interviews. I personally think as someone under the age of 50 that Harris needs to more interviews with social media influencers instead of traditional media.

Also why Waltz' "those guys are weird" comments have landed so well. It's stripped the veneer of normalcy away. And why Trump's claim that migrants are eating cats showed him to be completely deranged.

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.

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.

They are. But it is still surprising since they are owned by Unilver. IIRC the acquisition agreement allowed them to maintain a good measure of independence as a company

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 reckon that Jill "I lunch with Putin and Mike Flynn" Stein voters are as entrenched in their thinking as diehard MAGA voters, but if you know any who you think might be swayed, this article certainly doesn't help her look good: https://www.salon.com/2024/09/12/jill-stein-schooled-on-in-brutal-breakfast-club-interview/. Doesn't know how many people sit in Congress, gets called out for not building up an actual party, talks about women of color like they can't think for themselves.

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.

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.

For those who have been asking for more interviews. 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.

> 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.

Pete is one of my top picks for a run for President and I think he's so relatable, it's just hard not to like him.

2024-09-14T04:01:43.533+00:00 by Ophelia • Lead Mod [ opheliabanana ] avatar

He's reasoned, calm under pressure, has great responses to even unfounded concerns. Just very refined.

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.

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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! 💪🏽💙🌊

2024-09-14T15:57:22.308+00:00 by Sarah (ME->WA) [ sarahtoninreceptor ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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.

2024-09-14T15:59:59.374+00:00 by Sarah (ME->WA) [ sarahtoninreceptor ] avatar

Yes. MAGA folks rely on unchanging positions that facts can’t penetrate and they seek to make you into something similar but on the opposite side of the argument.

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. The DNC had a nice message about meeting Trumpy people where they are. We have to keep that to win and elect Democrats in all 50 states

Sorry, it's Newsweek—but via MSN, at least: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse dropped some useful info for this campaign and downballot races this week. "'The current Republican Study Committee [RSC] budget, representing 80 percent of House Republicans, proposed cutting $1.5 trillion of Social Security benefits over the next ten years,' Whitehouse said. 'It would *reduce the benefit formula* and *raise the retirement age to 69*, which would especially hurt low-income retirees.'" https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/republicans-accused-of-plan-to-cut-15-trillion-from-social-security/ar-AA1qvyIO

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

States/Districts where Harris has a chance of winning greater than 5% but less than 50% according to the 538 forecast ( https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/ ) Alaska (3 EVs) - 12% chance of a Harris victory Florida (30 EVs) - 32% chance of a Harris victory Iowa (6 EVs) - 15% chance of a Harris victory ME-02 (1 EV) - 22% chance of a Harris victory Ohio (17 EVs) - 16% chance of a Harris victory South Carolina (9 EVs) - 7% chance of a Harris victory Texas (40 EVs) - 26% chance of a Harris victory The odds of trump carrying all of these according to these probabilities is a mere 23%. If you’re in one of these states or ME-02, your efforts on the ground are not in vein! These states make a difference! every state makes a difference! Winning any one of these would be huge

Sheldon Whitehouse dropped some useful info for this campaign and downballot races this week. "'The current Republican Study Committee [RSC] budget, representing 80 percent of House Republicans, proposed cutting $1.5 trillion of Social Security benefits over the next ten years,' Whitehouse said. 'It would *reduce the benefit formula* and *raise the retirement age to 69*, which would especially hurt low-income retirees.'" https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/republicans-accused-of-plan-to-cut-15-trillion-from-social-security/ar-AA1qvyIO

replying to 2024-09-15T14:21:26.115+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY 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)

Or Harris wins, 2020 map minus a few states like GA and AZ

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.

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.

After we register someone we have to enter data into a database so it can be tracked. Then we follow up with text reminders. I sent out over 90 texts yesterday

That's awesome! Thanks for explaining! Are you using Reach to register people. I've been curious about that option.

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.

Shots were fired 1 hour ago at Trump International Golf Course while Donald J. Trump was there. An AK-47 was reported to be found in a Bush nearby. More than ever we need Gun Safety laws. To protect our Schools, to protect our Places of worship, and even our Former Presidents. You may support Donald Trump or you may dislike him but we must all unite against Gun violence and get Gun Laws passed.

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'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

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!

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.

2024-09-16T01:30:26.387+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

Yes

2024-09-16T01:33:49.645+00:00 by Daniel K. D-NY [ yoitzdan ] avatar

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.

Wait MN is a swing state? Haven’t we always been like solidly blue? Maybe that’s more internal and I just don’t vote a trump presence because I live in the city.

The DLCC is targeting State House and Senate races. According to the memo, MN has a mere 3 seat majority in the state house and 1 in the state Senate.

That makes sense. Also, not everyone is as fond of Walz’s replacement as they were as Walz (I’m calling a bit of sexism without proof but ya know)…hopefully her actions turn some people around and they stop judging on appearances.

Those ballot measures could each fail because they need 60% which increases turnout because every vote will matter

2024-09-16T13:54:36.91+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ] avatar

True but a lot of people there sadly like trump. I agree they will fail if people don’t get out and vote I just meant I can’t see many other topics that *would* get people out to vote more than weed and codifying abortion.

2024-09-16T13:55:52.042+00:00 by Alan Chaulet (MA) [ thecoolsponge ] avatar

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

2024-09-16T13:55:54.474+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ] avatar

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.

2024-09-16T13:56:43.159+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ] avatar

That would be a good one too but I don’t think it would be quite as pulling as abortion tbh. We’ll see. I’m more worried about now since trump is likely more terrorizing than what we’ll see in 2028 (unless somehow KFC and age don’t catch up with him but I doubt it).

2024-09-16T14:02:34.383+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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.

2024-09-16T14:04:47.285+00:00 by Alan Chaulet (MA) [ thecoolsponge ] avatar

wait if it’s a tie and the house gives it to Trump then waltz becomes vp?

2024-09-16T14:05:40.465+00:00 by Kai Haas [MN] [ pawsable ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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.

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

Ignore the polls, even if they are showing Harris way ahead. We have to win the vote in overwhelming numbers so that any potential election challenge by the opposition will make them look ridiculous.

This is true with the exception of statewide races in most states that have them I think. I know some states do federal/state/county/municipal all on one ballot but not all of them

this. 100%. The feeling I had the morning after the election was sickening. I was in a literal gloom until the women's march when I felt re-energized. That there were *so many* people who felt like I did. I swore in 2020 I would do all I can, and here we are again. I really, really hope we win.

Kamala Harris in 'danger zone' in swing states says CNN data reporter: National polls 'don't matter' https://www.yahoo.com/news/kamala-harris-danger-zone-swing-181605088.html

The campaign is already. We can't react to every poll.

Yep. The candidates are traveling through swing states constantly as are their spouses and prominent Dems.

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

That’s in the article. The constitution doesn’t say anything about a deadline but a 1921 Supreme Court case said congress could create a deadline for the prohibition amendment

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.

Article about the "Republican Voters Against Trump" campaign, which is running ads and billboards to gain support among center-right voters in battleground states. RVAT has a YouTube channel with personal testimonials by ex-Trump voters. They are very powerful and sincere, and I strongly recommend checking them out and sharing with friends/family/others who you think can still be brought to our side.

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

Keep in mind that Ohio had a perfect record until 2020, when Trump carried it by eight points even as Biden won fairly decisively.

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.

Great quote from the Lawrence O'Donnell clip above: "Donald Trump is telling American men, 'you don't get to have the option that I always had, whenever anyone told me she was pregnant…Donald Trump could say, ‘what are we going to do about this?’ Every. Single. Time. To a wife or a girlfriend. And now people are dying. Women are dying.” This makes the issue one for men, too.

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!

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. If people can share the posts (or just take the content and spread it around themselves, totally fine by me) that would help a great deal: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/sjY2pzACSdqUejoK/ Medium: https://medium.com/@thrilled_denim_sardine_584/did-biden-cause-post-covid-inflation-in-the-us-9facfb720c5a LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/murad-nayal-9439172_did-biden-cause-post-covid-inflation-in-the-activity-7241974289661370368-a1kp?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

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. To learn more about it, find a sampling of my analysis here: https://thelegaledition.substack.com/p/heritage-foundation-and-project-2025 and https://thelegaledition.substack.com/p/heritage-foundation-and-trump-project Join me tonight where I will be releasing the first in my trilogy of interviews of those who know best.

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.

2024-09-18T20:40:01.359+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

> 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’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.

My toxic trait is that I want a Harris administration to favor the other unions for contracts. They demanded everything from her and she bent over backwards to accommodate them.

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!

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. Cortez Masto (D-NV) on the Joint Councils 7+42, that you might retweet: https://x.com/CortezMasto/status/1836526974321262917

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.

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.

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/

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>

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.

2024-09-20T00:03:27.53+00:00 by Jabotinsky’s Strongest Twink [ unbridleddepression ] avatar

But MAGA is mad that they haven’t endorsed *him* despite his decisive lead with their membership, because the president understands who is better for labor. He just can’t say it in public.

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.

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 loved the way VP Harris could communicate using both facts and emotion. It wasn’t just one issue for me. As some others have said, she brings much more to the role than “I’m not Trump” and that gives me hope for the election.

Don't forget there has to be at least six or seven competitive House districts in New York. You could really help those from New Jersey. Massachusetts is not competitive at all but I can still have a big difference helping new Hampshire democrats

I’m still unhappy with Gov. Hochul for blocking congestion pricing. That would *not* have been a top election issue in New York, and over time people will acclimate to a good, sound public policy.

Her huge support from Republicans like Liz cheney and Adam Kinzinger Will be big for uniting us. I fully expect either being part of the Harris administration. Trump is not a conservative and you can convince republican people to support other Republicans over Trump. Show them what these Republicans say about Trump and Harris.

I have a work team building event in AZ, where I know some of my colleagues are republican gun afficionados and I may get a chance to try and sway them, so having some salient talking points would be helpful.

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

That is possible but also it would just hand the 2028 election to the democrats because JD is extremely unpopular

Hi Laurence, I understand your meaning here, but we want to make sure we keep in mind that what we say could be misconstrued regardless of intent. We want a positive and welcoming environment for all. I am going to go and remove your comment, so we can focus on looking at what we can achieve, and steer away from things that we can not change.

I am a resident of Portage County, Ohio. As a result of the Sherriff’s comments; his defense of the comments; and the County Offices’ slow response to his comments, I have chosen not to display DEM yard signs. Even worse, I know others who wonder if they should even try to vote absentee or in-person for fear it won’t be counted. Does the National DNC have a message for voters in polarized areas like Springfield, Ohio and Portage County, Ohio? Our local office just said voters had “all the options” to vote absentee if we were afraid to vote in person. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/18/ohio-secretary-of-state-reviews-complaints-against-portage-county-sheriff-bruce-zuchowski-facebook/75263681007/

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. This show went into many problems I hadn't even thought about.

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.

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.

Thanks so much. I know we are staffing up the Voter Protection hotline (I am signed up for training). So, maybe it will go wider as we get more early voting states opening up.

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

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

Democrats have held numerous votes to protect IVF in the senate which have failed because only 2 Republicans voted yes. There’s no more republicans cosponsoring that bill. There used to be just 1

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.

We need to focus on how Trump has supported just about every part of Project 2025 before it was even written. I learned recently Heritage did a plan for Reagan in 1980 that he said he knew nothing about and implemented 60% of it his first year

I was looking at one forecaster that said if Kamala wins that actually has such an impact on the senate races that we’re favored to retake the senate

That’s probably true because of the nationalization of congressional races

Florida is more likely to vote for Kamala for president than Texas, although both are unlikely. Texas is more likely to give us a blue senate seat

Yeah it would help but I also think theres a couple senators that would possibly confirm a more moderate democratic appointed nominee

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

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!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🗳🗳🗳

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.

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. 🏳️‍⚧️

Honestly, going on the offense with this saying would work—Hell yes Kamala is with they/them! Also I think Tim could really help on this issue. Lean into the fact that he put menstrual products in the the kids bathrooms! That’s awesome! No need to run away from that. It’s good policy.

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

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.

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 ] avatar

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.

replying to 2024-09-23T15:35:13.406+00:00 by Julia 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.

Why even bother doing that? Kamala wouldn’t win Montana either way, and even in a world where she does Trumps absolutely screwed by then anyways. They’re just disenfranchising voters for no good reason

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

replying to 2024-09-23T14:27:31.695+00:00 by HIMDogson 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

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.

Indeed good points! Also the most important poll is after Election Day!

<@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/

the first call i think they didn't mean to answer because i could hear them talking with someone and didn't even seem to notice i was there, oops. second time i just couldn't get the words out, and when i couldn't do it the third time either i was like "mm, maybe not!"

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!

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

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 ] avatar

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.

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

We’ve made tangible progress already, whether it being forcing progress in a red state or winning over voters in purple ones. Let’s make more progress! 42 days!

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

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.

Hi. The description states that polls can be posted here.

To clarify: per the channel description, polls are allowed in this channel. We apologize for the inconvenience. The only time we have an issue with polls is when people get spammy with them or when we wind up going down a negative rabbit hole.

Hey there - welcome! Definitely voter registration on campuses is a thing. There are a few options available that you could contact: 1) Most campuses have a local Dem club affiliated with the school - see if they have ongoing efforts 2) OR try your city's Dem club or local Dem Party office to see 3) OR check out the <#1268356016240857088> channel here to see what options are listed.

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.

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.

Here's an absolutely stunning collection of quotes about Trump, from those who've worked with and known him best. Many have since come to their senses, but many unfathomably haven't. "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.

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.

replying to 2024-09-27T18:22:01.513+00:00 by Kathleen jones [CA] BUT I think we need to hit men's bathrooms as well.....what would be a good note to men in battleground 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.

It's pretty wild how often he shifts blame. There's so much documented evidence showing his role in shutting down or opposing these types of bills, but it seems like he’s always trying to rewrite the narrative.

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! It feels to me like our freedom depends on it!

This article summarizes a WashPost article in which JD Vance wrote in 2020 how DJT had failed on the economy. Nice that he agrees with us. 🙂 Of course "he didn't mean it like you're reading it" 🙄 : https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-trump-economy-election-b2620029.html.

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.

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'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.

replying to 2024-09-29T18:14:59.591+00:00 by Jenny Fisher [FL] Given I just joined the Campaign, I have to wonder if that’s why I was targeted.

I got booted from Twitter after retweeting a White Dudes for Harris announcement. Been active since 2009. Unbelievable what we are up against.

replying to 2024-09-29T20:10:54.15+00:00 by Kat (CA) I have been thinking about the difficulty Palestinian Americans and others with family in Gaza face in voting since reading this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xejx07exro This is one situation where I cannot blame folks that don't vote or vote third party. If my own taxpayer dollars were used to displace and/or kill my family members, there is no way I could vote to support this.

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.

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.

She did! She had a briefing with FEMA and they’re sending food and water to those states. She and President Biden are monitoring and working around the clock to get every resource down there

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.

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.

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.

replying to 2024-09-30T17:24:56.969+00:00 by HIMDogson I think there are a lot of dem statements around internal polling that are intended to drive fundraisers and volunteering

Can we even trust these statements? I have a hard time trusting the media these days. But clearly, when states are won/lost with tens of thousands of votes, no poll can predict the outcome!

I am on a phone bank with a woman who makes a good point about how it wasn’t Biden or Harris who caused the price gouging and inflation and they have to speak to this fact. She’s 77 and many people are complaining about high prices.

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. They are absolutely doing the right thing by not going at this time.

well, this is the guardian, which is a pretty left wing paper in the uk- unlike somewhere like nyt i dont think they have major ulterior motives, and in the article itselfthey do point out that its hard to assess slotkin's claim when we don't know the methodology of the poll or even what specifically it says

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/

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.

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.

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?"

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.

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.

unfortunately, i've already seen conspiracy theorists argue that it was intentionally directed that way that aside, i don't like the thought of it being _beneficial_ to prevent people from voting. it was not just Florida that was hit, but even blue states, who might now also have trouble voting.

2024-10-03T03:45:01.972+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

if anything, i'd say there needs to be a push to make sure those people get a chance to vote.

Yes I agree. But you see in the report that the majority of counties that are horribly destroyed (along with early voting areas) are red counties with majority red voters. I am not happy about this but I thought it was interesting

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.

Oh, this is good! "Democrats registered more voters in that period—about 51,000—while Republicans registered 13,000. At least 64,000 of the registrants are unaffiliated voters."

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.

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.

Another volunteer posted this to Reddit because we've been seeing too much Trump stuff there and minimal Harris info. It's getting some good traction.

Let's gooooo !! "The former president** last led his opponent Kamala Harris in a national poll on September 22,** according to FiveThirtyEight. Before September 22, the longest stretch Trump had gone without leading a national poll was 11 days, between August 14 and August 25." https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-national-polling-average-1963770

Yesterday, the Jack Smith release. Today, the glowing jobs report: "But it was Friday’s employment report — 254,000 jobs gained, with wages growing faster than prices — that appeared to give Harris boosters a particularly large dose of confidence. 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

We were texting people for the first time to ask if they wanted to go on a bus ride to battleground states to shore up the votes. I prob reached 80 voters.

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.

Someone took a photo/video 2 hours before the event--probably before people were even allowed in--to say it wasn't full. Looks like a lot more than 48 people to me. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVzjoxj-ZQQ

You can also do a search on X for "Kamala Harris Flint" and find lots of videos of cameras scanning the **large** crowds.

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

Good question! You could post this question in the North Carolina channel and also check events.democrats.org filtering for North Carolina to see if there's anything similar going on...

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.

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

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).

👀 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.

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’m people in OK. I’m not okay with this. Actually, Kamala Harris entering the race and my elected officials consistently embarrassing me and not helping their constituents politically activated me. I have created a strategy to register as many non-registered voters before 2026 and make our Democratic Party offices double as third spaces and places where you can find resources. I believe if we work hard, and show Oklahomans we are here to serve them, we can change Oklahoma. 45% of our residents that are eligible to vote, don’t. I was one of them. But I’ve made it my personal mission either through the Democratic Party or creating a non-profit to change Oklahoma.

Same poll shows 47% of women in Florida said Kamala. Feel like that doesn’t translate in any real world scenario to her being down 13 points

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.

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.

replying to 2024-10-09T18:39:37.011+00:00 by Kris Seanez [CA] Trump took the lead in a Quinnapic poll for Michigan…. Scary.

The cross tabs on this poll have him winning the youth vote in Michigan, so most likely they had a bad sample for this one

2024-10-09T18:54:56.247+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ] avatar

In general for any out there polls look at the cross tabs

2024-10-09T18:55:13.981+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ] avatar

If they don’t make sense to that degree, chances are it’s a bad poll

The source is also important. There are many Republicans polling firms out there that will produce results that overstate Trumps support relative to other polls

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. We all want to be happy, prosperous, have people succeed and so on. It's just how we get there process wise. They may not vote for Harris, but I tell my family that I understand their concerns and fears.

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

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

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

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.

replying to 2024-10-11T00:33:55.263+00:00 by KSummers Good post from the NYT - a medical expert from the Trump admin weighs in on Trump's past and possible future policies, and their impact: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/opinion/trump-hhs-nih-cdc-fda.html?unlocked_article_code=1.RU4.fJ4s.4IxOJGfSlA4N&smid=url-share

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.

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.

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.

It’s just disappointing to me to see the people here turn to Trump. And I don’t personally think it’s for economic reasons. I have more empathy for voters who feel left behind by globalization but much of what I have seen has been a lot of selfishness and culture war bs

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.

Thanks for being here, <@194086850661580800>! I get it, the situation is heartbreaking. If it helps, [here is the campaign's position on this issue](https://kamalaharris.com/issues/#:~:text=Dictators%2C%20and%20Lead-,on,-the%20World%20Stage). You can let the campaign know your concerns using the [contact us form](https://democrats.org/contact-us/).

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.

Really good point, <@1277413430143225909>! We can't and shouldn't ignore the crises happening overseas and at home. But we also need to do what we can to stay moving forward. I find it helps to keep myself focused on taking action. I'm canvassing in Wisconsin tomorrow - the walk will give me endorphins and the work will help get out our vote! What volunteer activities has everyone else got planned for this weekend?

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. I did it today, and it was easier than I anticipated. You can call at your own pace, so when I needed to, I just took a breather between calls. 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

Arizona is a bit odd because of the way they do mail voting - most people there vote by mail.

Trump gave classified information about Israel’s Iron Dome in 2017 to the Russia’s FM Lavrov while he was president. The classified info was relayed to Iran, Hamas and used in the Oct 7 Massacre!

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.

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 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.

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/

replying to 2024-10-13T22:02:31.273+00:00 by DemCord Reminder of our community guidelines. "we are all here united by our shared commitment for electing VP Kamala Harris." This space is to be used to organize, build community and more, not for debating issues or policy. Anyone who participates in those types of debate are subject to removal or being timed out. This space is positive - let's keep it that way!

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/.

I admire her for genuinely attacking disinformation head on. Without batting an eye. Going straight to the people she needs to speak with. From the uncommitted movement, to Hispanics on Univision, to Black men, and now directly to right wing media.

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.

chris rufo is not a serious person

the right move is to ignore this

2024-10-15T02:44:34.05+00:00 by Aden W (TX) [ aw823 ] avatar

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.””

2024-10-15T02:45:35.271+00:00 by Aden W (TX) [ aw823 ] avatar

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.

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.

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. Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation may make some of them richer, but others are using it as an excuse so they don’t have to tell people why they’re actually voting for Trump (bigotry)

replying to 2024-10-15T14:29:55.994+00:00 by Aden W (TX) 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. Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation may make some of them richer, but others are using it as an excuse so they don’t have to tell people why they’re actually voting for Trump (bigotry)

i can understand why the tariffs thing would be appealing though (as a person, like myself, who doens't really understand economic details). It seems like global free trade is mostly a way for large companies in the US to go around unions and paying workers well-- just import stuff from countries where labor is cheap and workers are mistreated

However when the US imposes tariffs on a country, that country can impose retaliatory tariffs on the US

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.

Note also that Trump's across the board tariffs would also apply to our allies like the EU, Japan, Canada, Australia that actually pay workers well and have stronger labor protections than the US. 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.

I’m personally hoping that with how broad her media campaign has been, people tune into one of them to get a better understanding of the situation at hand. Especially when she goes to more conservative places, like Fox News tomorrow and even possibly a Joe Rogan interview. I really hope that materializes.

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 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.

I don’t expect it to stay blue with the Democrats who vote Republican in the state. Just like Arizona currently is very red but I expect the McCain Republicans to vote for Harris

I felt she was very good at the Univision event too. Seems like townhalls are a good format for her? Glad they set up the CNN townhall. She should probably do a few more such events specifically in WI, MI, PA.

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.

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.

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.

Good morning Diane! 20 days until the election. We are challenging everyone who enjoys connecting with others to push their comfort zones and try phonebanking! 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!

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.

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. 😬

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?

Is the 11% of the early voting turnout, or the total turnout?

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 don’t know how right wingers will feel about it, but she handled a VERY hostile interview as professionally as she could have. She did not allow him to have complete control of the narrative and she didn’t throw trans under the bus!

2024-10-17T00:36:59.212+00:00 by Jaron Holden (OK) [ azarsuibian ] avatar

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.

2024-10-17T00:38:36.43+00:00 by Jaron Holden (OK) [ azarsuibian ] avatar

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.

Fox News Host Goes SILENT As Harris PUTS HIM IN HIS PLACE!

2024-10-17T00:39:46.084+00:00 by Anthony D. [PA] [ twanathan ] avatar

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

2024-10-17T00:40:23.956+00:00 by Das Pemmaraju CA [ das_pemmaraju ] avatar

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.

2024-10-17T00:45:12.586+00:00 by Das Pemmaraju CA [ das_pemmaraju ] avatar

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.

2024-10-17T00:45:13.3+00:00 by Anthony D. [PA] [ twanathan ] avatar

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”

She has to win an election. She can't go into Fox News and get tripped up into a soundbite. The people who watch Fox would destroy her if she didn't walk the line and be moderate. We have to win some of those people over.

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.

And her words about not having the govt tell you what to do with your body would apply too.

If you also include the current ballots cast thats about 64 million. Which in turn means about 40% of the total 2020 turnout is expected to vote early

14 million shares on trump winning the election and at least 3 million on him winning the popular vote. This definitely influenced Polymarket to shift towards trump by a lot

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

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.

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.

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

Do you have a bit of time tonight or tomorrow to help us reach our 5 Million calls for Kamala's birthday? We're all on the phones dialing for democracy and would love if you'll join us. ❤️

Sorry but there are several reasons why this wouldn't be practical for me. Wishing everyone a lot of success with the phone banking and appreciate everyone's effort a lot. <:blueheart:1252803082849488956> <:blueheart:1252803082849488956> <:blueheart:1252803082849488956>

replying to 2024-10-19T23:24:41.725+00:00 by KSummers 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

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'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.

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.

replying to 2024-10-20T19:07:44.284+00:00 by Tai [Mod & Kamala's Captain] I was honestly wondering about the bias. It's just hard to believe it is really that close!

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.

Basically instead of actually engaging with customers, They choose a location that was known in the past for refusing to raise the Mimimum wage, Closed it down for Sunday, prepared a bunch of things.

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.

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?

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).

Seems to be a republican pollster. If they produce results more republican than most, they likely would have been more accurate in 2016 and 2020 (increasing those accuracy numbers)

Ok. Thanks. My intuition is Harris is running probably the best campaign since Obama in '08. She does not have Hillary's baggage either. I'm donating, writing letters, everything I can.

replying to 2024-10-21T01:52:33.555+00:00 by Joseph1697 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.

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 ] avatar

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 ] avatar

Democrats will turnout in the midterm election against Cruz in 2030 if it’s 5% and lower turnout for republicans it’s a flip

I have always hated calls. I text for a bunch of different campaigns but today i had few texting jobs. I decided to just do it. I prefer texting but I spoke to about 5 people (I go slowly) and got 3 positives and 1 hangup and 1 voicemail. SO pretty good!!!

Absolutely. If we all show up to vote, there's no way MAGA will win.

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.

Nice. You can also remind other people about the Muslim travel ban that was enacted during the Trump Administration.

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.

Hey, Dannysync! Good to see you. I know you have been active in online engagement, Twitter and Reddit. We are asking everyone to make phone calls in the last two weeks, since phone banking is proven to be the most effective way to get out the vote. Would you join us in making a few calls to make a difference in the outcome of this election? If you go to and add making calls to voters, you will get access to the <#1242256751445934262> who can get you started. You can even make calls to Climate Voters, which I know is important to you.

## 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.

We didn’t go into Germany to save the people there from Nazism- the people were the Nazis, and we went in to save Europe from them. I don’t expect nor want any other countries to save us from trump because we can and will do that ourselves here and now

A lot of people don’t know he came into power by winning elections. Shows the power of voting. People like Trump can get votes by exploiting the unfortunate situations and bigotry of a slice of the population. It’s up to the rest of us to stop him.

I’m going to be honest, I just don’t think people were excited about Hillary. People are much more excited about Kamala. So yes, keep the foot on the gas, but the vehicle is more popular and speedy lol

Harris doesn't have the same baggage as Clinton. Plus Trump is more unhinged this time than in 2016 or even 2020. Plus there is higher turnout.

2024-10-22T22:55:17.863+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ] avatar

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

2024-10-22T22:56:17.05+00:00 by HIMDogson [ himdogson ] avatar

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

Just to amplify this, I promise you nobody taking part in the Harris discord is going to be lulled into complacency by a positive article. Let people enjoy the good news, it's a motivator in its own right. 🙂

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. Will you sign up for a session?

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.

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.

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.

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

Hey Uriel, good to see you! The campaign doesn't release her day-to-day schedule for security reasons, but if you keep an eye on (minor correction) * <#1250551051002839131> (and for me: Insta/TikTok) you can usually get a head's up on her appearances!

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.

I believe in PA if you receive a mail-in ballot you either need to submit it or bring it with you to a polling location.

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.

2024-10-23T16:01:55.601+00:00 by KraakenTowers [ kraakentowers ] avatar

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.

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....

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.

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?

<@1287793122952220828> Don’t listen to TV pundits. If THE CAMPAIGN says it’s going to be close, it’s going to be close. From my experience since 2008, campaigns don’t try and use this tactic as a motivation for their base. Just keep your head down. Don’t watch AND believe stuff reported by news outlets, even MSNBC or CNN. Just do the work. Organize not agonize.

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. Our people are more enthusiastic than theirs. We have had many more offices. It will show up in turnout on election day.

From my experience since 2008, campaigns don’t try and use this tactic as a motivation for their base. Just keep your head down. Don’t watch AND believe stuff reported by news outlets, even MSNBC or CNN. Just do the work. Organize not agonize.

It’s a SMH situation for sure that it’s this close.

Check it out -- housing and Medicare drug pricing resonated best for Harris among the young men sampled. For Trump, it was inflation. What resonated the least: positivity and child tax credit for Harris, "Elon is great" and China for Trump. https://blueprint2024.com/polling/non-trad-media-message-test-men-10-23/

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

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. Is it pointing out (factually) that these "suspected operations" are mostly disproved? Or is it a GOP-stronghold making accusations that then need to be addressed? We still don't know at this point, but thank you for notifying us to keep an eye out <@974302751959945246> !

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 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.

Here’s a Reich's summarized list of her key points: 1. Lower Food Prices: Prevent unfair mergers that reduce competition, keeping food prices down. 2. Housing Crisis: Stop Wall Street from buying houses in bulk, crack down on rent gouging, fund new construction, and assist first-time homebuyers. 3. Ban on Price Gouging: Propose a federal ban to tackle corporate greed. 4. Reproductive Rights: Codify Roe v. Wade to protect reproductive freedoms. 5. Tax System Reform: Increase taxes on corporations and the wealthy, without affecting middle- and low-income Americans. 6. Fight Child Poverty: Expand the child tax credit, including $6,000 for a child’s first year, and establish free universal preschool. 7. Minimum Wage Increase: Raise the federal minimum wage and eliminate the sub-minimum wage for tipped and disabled workers. 8. Lower Health Care Costs: Cap insulin at $35 and set a $2,000 out-of-pocket limit on prescription drugs. 9. Elder Care Support: Expand Medicare to cover home health care for seniors. 10. Paid Family and Medical Leave: Establish a program similar to other developed nations. 11. Medical Debt Relief: Reduce medical debt burdens for millions of Americans. 12. Defend Democracy: Expand voter rights, fight suppression, and pass key voting rights acts. 13. Supreme Court Reform: Implement a binding code of ethics and term limits for justices. 14. Historic Representation: As the first woman president and first president of color, she'll bring historic diversity. 15. Focus on Improving Lives: Prioritize making a positive difference for people, contrasting with opponents’ self-centered focus.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the Brit’s are entirely to blame. But you definitely can track the shift in messaging and strategy right around when they arrived and started formally advising her campaign

I’m just providing context for why British Labour strategists currently working on the Harris campaign might not be the right choice, because of how different the two elections were.

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

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/).

Especially considering the fact that, if you are issued a mail in ballot, and then try to vote in person (which I assume might be the case with these 4 ballots), the in person ballots are counted and the mail in ones are discarded.

Especially considering the fact that, if you are issued a mail in ballot, and then try to vote in person (which I assume might be the case with these 4 ballots), the in person ballots are counted and the mail in ones are discarded. At least that's how it's done in MD.

At best those votes influenced a house seat not worth it at all

If they wanted to influence that measure they could have just run ads against it calling it “socialist” and it would probably fail. Don’t think it would be too expensive to buy an ad in local newspapers there

Like he pointed out Shasta is super red in a blue state so goofy and near harmless but in a state like Arizona or Georgia where the difference might be a few thousand votes we all should just be aware and wonder if more maga landlords changed votes in 2020

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.

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/.

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”?

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

Might convince someone... maybe it convinced me as I was _extremely_ dissapointed with the administrations dealing of this

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

Man, reading about Bezos tossing democracy under the bus in order to hedge his bets just reaffirms how much is at stake here. We're already seeing what an Orban-like future could hold. Time to get busy and make a bunch more calls.

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.

Hadn't seen that. It's encouraging. Just saw one of the editors had resigned in response. I'm looking to bite the bullet and drop Amazon. Really is despicable that at what might be the most important point in this country's history, Bezos chose greed and cowardice over duty.

> _“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!

Don't despair. "You know who" probably had the most vile and offensive rallies of his entire "career". It probably lost him a lot of votes, IMHO. The best thing we can do is get Kamala over the finish line with our work here. I'd rather be her than him, though.

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?

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.

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.

Double standards. If you want my understanding of it, You see a poll of people saying many tasteless things about the nation. But as soon as someone else says it, Even though its in reference to the behaviour of the Former suddenly its big bad.

Guys someone needs to counter the argument by clearing stating how it's literally nothing compared to Trump calling those who don't support him as ENEMIES FROM WITHIN WHICH ARE 60% OF AMERICANS. So he gets to call us enemies because we don't agree with him?

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

I mean, some low-information voters might only have heard of the jokes via friends/social media/news clips. Then, heard about the CNN clips where they report Bidens' comments as him saying Trump's SUPPORTERS are garbage. They might be less impressed by our side. (I hope I'm wrong!)

Hey there Anthony, totally with you on that, social media is not real life. Phone calls are real life, and we only have a few days left to make those important real decisions phone calls.

I’ve done it once in Zoom, I haven’t felt confident in my social skills to make calls, but I’m still supporting the Democrats
