@here EVERYBODY HERE CRUSHED IT: We pushed out **85** individual posts for amplification, and have had over 168m impressions on tweets with #OnBoardWithBiden !! The best things we can do in the coming hours and days: - Post as much content about Trump being unhinged as possible - Continue to push out Project 2025 content, to show just how Dangerous Trump is - Contrast the different between Trump + Biden - a dangerous felon vs. a public servant

I was wondering what RNC's bots were messaging during the debate.

Asleep at the wheel? Truth is us along with the Lincoln Project and several chapters of their offshoot, Join The Union had a larger presence than the Republicans.

If Trump had actually talked about the things he wants to do then it might have changed things in his favor with more Republicans or Independents. But he is who he is and he can't help but keep saying all his lies. 2 more debates like this and he will only lose more voters. Biden just needs to keep repeating all his accomplishments and ignore what Trump is saying.

I can tell you that the content creation team has been working a lot on memes. I also do support a lot of it because when I worked on the Fetterman campaign, we were a total meme machine. To be honest, I think that was why John Fetterman had a huge draw among the youth vote.

We should still enable people to read he whole thing because it covers so much. For example, I only recently read what it proposed to cut for service members and veterans.

The webpage that Biden's campaign created about Project 2025 links to the 900+ page report (even I didn't bother to read). However, I do have leisure time to read a 16-page Platform that's getting [positive press](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/08/rnc-platform-national-abortion-limits-00166788) for Trump's edits.

It leaves too much out. We need to flood social media with as much information as possible. People don't know what they don't know, so we have to inform them. With the chapter breakdown, you can go straight to the chapters that interest you. For example, I am a veteran, and I wouldn't have known what they want to do to veterans and service members if I hadn't read that chapter.

I'm not paying attention to half of them really. I actually reposted one thing from Rob Reiner and said, "And then what do we do?" I mean, they haven't thought that far, did they? I think not. PS. I think the fact that Mike Pence came out saying that he does not support Trump speaks louder volumes but that's just me.

<@941196169852366859> oh my goodness to see those results in 2016. Just wondering is the current campaign very aware of what went wrong in 2016 and in 2020 did a good job in preventing it.

replying to 2024-07-10T21:34:09.854+00:00 by Marie B. | PA/NJ | OE/KC I'm not paying attention to half of them really. I actually reposted one thing from Rob Reiner and said, "And then what do we do?" I mean, they haven't thought that far, did they? I think not. PS. I think the fact that Mike Pence came out saying that he does not support Trump speaks louder volumes but that's just me.

Fortunately, most of Pence's voters have already left the GOP. Despite Haley endorsing Trump, Biden's campaign is reaching out to her [#NeverTrump group of Republicans](https://www.voterbridge.org/haley-voters-policy-priorities).

That whole thing with Haley shocks me. I'm like, "He basically badmouthed you and you're still backing him?!" I mean, even Chris Christie grew a backbone and went against Trump! Which is probably why I respect Chris Christie a little more these days.

My community map includes Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and Nextdoor. I participated in the Michigan Dem Party’s Disinformation Program a couple of years ago, and shared their posts and graphics, in addition to my own posts on social media. I specifically created a subreddit and community group on Nextdoor to increase awareness. So I plan to use all of the above mentioned to help spread awareness and combat disinformation for this year’s election.

To beat Trump, voters will need to be more disturbed by what a second Trump term portends than any foibles of the Democratic ticket. "All the Best People" is a stark reminder from unprecedented numbers of people who served in "Trump I" who left sounding the alarm, like Press Secretary Stepanie Grisham. Her story is especially compelling because she joined the Administration as a "true believer" but left denouncing Trump as "the ultimate con man" and warning that a second term would be "nothing but revenge, retribution and how he can benefit himself." Her story is linked below. Please watch and if you approve, kindly Like and Share the links across as many platforms as possible. https://youtu.be/Ykb4KC_QFn8?feature=shared

My suggestion to everyone is what Kate said in the online engagement announcements and I also have a few suggestions as someone who has been in this game for a while now. 1. Use reputable sources whether they be from our guidance and staffers or from a source with clout. Good examples of news outlets if anyone's looking to share that are sources like Reuters and the Associated Press since they are wire services and therefore they don't have any of the bias we're seeing from many of the big ones like CNN. 2. Don't use any inflammatory language. This is not just because we're taking the Michelle Obama, "They go low, we go high" approach right now but also because of something called slander. If you don't know anything about that, I do encourage you to look it up. We're trying to avoid anything that will make us look like a bunch of jagoffs basically. 3. I know this is a crazy time but there's a reason why we're taking the approach we are right now and since I'm a bit of a social science nerd on top of having knowledge of Communication and media, I think what we're trying to do it take an approach of speak softly and carry a big stick. Now I know Teddy Roosevelt was saying, "Oh, I'll use the military if I have to" basically but in the digital world it's more like, "We're going to post that uplifting content and show we mean it when we say that we want to unite the nation but we'll also remind you that our opponents are horrible people." In other words: use reputable sources, present the facts like we always did, and for the love of God...KEEP YOUR LANGUAGE CIVIL! You guys are doing great so far so let's just keep breaking through the noise and show that we're nothing like these people that are causing all the fighting, division, and hate. Thanks everyone!

Only if their profiles seem fake. Or the Trump campaign also has volunteers doing rapid-response.

I'm calling elected and candidate Democrats who express a desire to have Biden back out. Here's my script. If you don't want to talk with a live person, try calling at night or on the weekend: I’m not a constituent, but what you do impacts my life. News reports say that you are asking President Biden to drop out of the race. If that’s true, I think you should consider that he is probably the best president we’ve had in a generation, in terms of getting things done in spite of a lot of opposition from MAGA Republicans. I think you should also consider that a lot of us voters voted for him in the primary, thinking we actually HAD a vote in a real primary. I know it’s scary to think Trump might win, and we want to put forward the best candidate possible, but we voters knew that when we voted and we overwhelmingly chose Joe Biden. I really hope you’ll come out in support of the President and put these rumors to rest.

Please also include telling them not to let their negativity bias influence their decisions. They're focusing on Biden's one bad debate while disregarding the 3 1/2 years of good he did for the country. Biden is completely capable of running the country for another 4 years.

Our own party members saying they're changing to independent after this election. It's terrifying. I am terrified right now . So many are. We need words of encouragement or something right now. All I can say is this seems like a mistake. It also seems like it may be a good time to put in Harris Buttigieg however!

I have no idea but by the sounds of it, he was talking to numerous people about this. I'm watching the BBC News live feed right now and they're saying that he talked to so many people about this. I don't know if it is possible but I will know this is uncharted water to begin with so we'll see.

I have been a Democrat since 1974. This feels like the Donorcratic Party to me now. I am considering going Independent. As an older person, it makes me very angry that his age and one poor debate performance was pounced on, despite his REAL, PROVABLE PERFORMANCE over the past few years. I thought age discrimination was illegal in this country. Apparently not for Presidents or candidates. Of course I will vote for anyone against Trump but I have cancelled all my donation subscriptions and replying STOP to all political text messages. But I can no longer trust myself to convince anyone after watching 14 million primary votes get tossed out so easily by the donor class.

It is illegal, however, it doesn't stop people from doing it. Look, I'm annoyed too but I can understand the reasonings and while you argue donors, you also have to think about the court of public opinion because Trump did gain momentum between the debate debacle, the assassination attempt, and picking a young gun like JD Vance. There are so many factors in play here...and this is coming from someone who is more in the middle when it comes to age.

Hey all -- this afternoon, President Biden decided to not seek reelection and wholeheartedly endorsed Vice President Harris in our effort to beat Donald Trump. Here are key messages we wanted to share: - Vice President Harris has spent the past four years as a governing partner to the most experienced president in American history. She has helped pass and implement historic legislation, and strengthened America’s national security through her travels to more than 20 countries and meetings with over 150 world leaders. - Her record as Vice President builds on a distinguished career as District Attorney, Attorney General, and United States Senator from the nation’s largest state. - No one is better prepared than Vice President Harris to prosecute the case against Donald Trump. Her work as a prosecutor makes her the ultimate contrast to Trump, the convicted felon. - Vice President Harris was part of the only ticket to ever beat Trump, earning 81 million votes in 2020 as Joe Biden’s running mate. We'll have more tomorrow! In the mean time, excited to be here with all of you and doing this important work.

Yes! I move them from my downloads to my desktop first, but that's because some platforms I'm on don't let me move them from downloads directly to a post. When I get my whole post together, with hashtags needed for some DM rooms, I copy the whole post, paste to each platform and load the image or video.

On the border wall - we have to remember that Trump only succeeded in 52 miles of poorly constructed wall, often just replacing what was there- ProPublica/Texas Tribune”Yet an accounting of border wall contracts awarded during his presidency shows that his administration has failed to protect taxpayer interests or contain costs and stifled competition among would-be builders, experts say. In all, Trump’s wall costs about five times more per mile than fencing built under the Bush and Obama administrations. Experts say the frequent use of so-called supplemental agreements to add work or increase the price has amounted to giving no-bid contracts to a small group of pre-selected construction firms, many with executives who have donated to Trump or other Republicans.” And the funds used were from drug enforcement despite the fact that drug trafficking is almost always dine through legal ports of entry.

Yes, the connection is Vance. Those who are skeptical about its likelihood are ultimately persuadable. Evidence of Vance's connection is building.

<@1247909990560301182> you asked us to report about online engagement. I posted on Facebook in response to Vance’s comments earlier this week about childless people not caring about our future. I was especially offended that he included adoptive parent Pete Buttigieg in his list of childless cat ladies and responded from a personal place as an adoptive parent myself. I pointed out that Adoptive parents deliberately choose to take up the responsibility of care for a future generation. But I expanded my comment to a broader point - Americans are generous, and loving, and perpetually optimistic and future oriented. Don’t try to shrink our national concern down to a craven and egomanical world view. I got a lot of positive and vocal engagement from people who were mostly already dems already and happy to comment that they would be out and voting this year, but also from someone I was surprised by. They seemed very connected and enthusiastic about tying democratic platform to real values of caring and optimism.

I'm also a parent through adoption and Vance's cynical and mean comment struck a sour note with me as well. I don't think you need to give birth to a child to care for the next generation. If that were true men wouldn't care about the future at all. There are many ways to make a family. The only important ingredient is love. Step parents are parents. Adoptive parents are parents. Foster parents are parents. Found parents are parents. Raising another couple's children is an act of compassion, love and optimism.

Not to be that person, but let's try to be aware of the cultural heritage of Indigenous folks and the term "spirit animal." For those of us without that real background or experience, it's probably more appropriate to say "kindred spirit" or "guide" or "familiar." It's something that I personally have been trying to better myself on. We all can keep learning and that's great. Just wouldn't want to alienate someone from that background when we're all trying to come together for a shared goal.

I point folks to global inflation data. If the problem is everywhere globally then logically it cannot be caused by the US President. You could show them the data which shows that US inflation is actually better than many other places. https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate

There are a few ways to go around this 1. This is not an easy thing to do. I mean, you can't wave a magic wand and boom, it's gone. There's supply & demand, shrinkflation, etc. Also, I think <@1266177007755198517>raises a great point about how the problem really is global. For instance, I have a friend who moved to Canada because of her job and one day she was doing the conversions and realized that she's paying a lot more in Canada than the US. 2. Trump did a lot of things that caused a lot of this as we know. Biden inherited a lot of economic mess and it wasn't all because of the pandemic. Also, I was asking around and <@1260983976483356767> pointed out to me there's some things in the library on Reach regarding the Inflation Reduction Act which I really suggest everyone taking a look at and sharing with anyone who talks about this because I have heard this complaint from everyone...including my dad who is VERY anti-Trump. The reason why my dad stopped complaining was because one day we were in Walmart and saw several products we buy all the time with lower prices than the last time. Also, I buy a lot in bulk and have been for years but the last time I was in BJ's (it's kinda like Costco which I also frequent), I saw prices on a lot of things being much less than they were a couple weeks ago. We're seeing the impacts of the IRA but it's just taking longer than most people would like.

I would think we could always do a comparison/contrast myself. The Reach app has great content regarding gun safety and you might want to point out how a lot of the stuff that we are for, the NRA is fully against.

Honestly, I was thinking there must be many well-meaning firearm enthusiasts (Disenfranchised NRA members / former members) who'd work to form a resistance front. I'd like to know if there's a group organizing for those reasons. Thanks Mary! Tonz.

I've been trying to figure out if there is one to be honest because I also know registered Democrats who are gun owners. I for one am a Democrat and I have a legal carry permit in PA. I support common sense gun laws because I don't want some crackpot getting a gun. Also, there's something rather sus when you look at states like Texas that will restrict everything except how much fire power someone has.

Same here, CCP, Former Reserve Deputy, Public Safety Chaplain, DOC Volunteer - The thought occurs to me that perhaps what I'm imagining is less meaningful to this election cycle, but would be a program that spans years. Like: How to infiltrate, elect and force change from within. I'm a (disenfranchised) Life Member of the NRA and abhore what they've become.

Is this a place where I can ask question about how to respond to a swing voter? They’re saying that they don’t like the fact that Kamala “didn’t do anything” while she’s VP. Is this person a lost cause?

No, they are not a lost cause! This is on Reach right now.

2024-07-26T19:15:45.909+00:00 by Yiğit Çakar [ yigitcakar ] avatar

In my opinion nobody is a lost cause. I always try to understand exactly where people are coming from and ask questions. Then I give my perspective on things without judging or directly confronting. You cannot change one's opinion in one conversation, but you can in many, or if you are not going to have multiple conversations, you can always put a question mark, a doubt in their mind which somebody else might expand later on.

I can’t do phone calls due to social anxiety. But I’m not sure where to start to get involved in email/texting stuff. Thanks!

I believe it's the same one since the Reach app basically directs you to the DNC page there.

Lots of postcarding groups. I'd think that voter registration is a good activity.

That's not ok at all! The c-span link should work for you though. Also - you can restart an account on Reddit any time you want. I've been using the website for 6+ years and I delete, restart accounts all the time. I'm banned from r/convservative (if that helps you feel better).

I can tell you from working as a field volunteer for years before I went to the digital side that not even field staff know when a rally is going to happen until days before but when we hear about them, I'm sure the staffers or one of the volunteer mods will pass on the info.

I do believe they will send you emails on those as well. I know many campaigns do so keep an eye on your email. Also, one thing the party has done in the past and while I don't know if they will do this or not this time is they have also sent text messages if there are events near you.

I want to see good messaging on inflation that makes clear that Trump’s failed COVID policies caused supply chain problems & incentivized corporate greed artificially raising prices & Biden/Harris have been able to bring them down. Trump’s plans to shut our borders & raise tariffs will cause massive inflation & only line the pockets of his corporate cronies.

Also - we are already energy independent & need to focus on energy sources of the future to remain competitive. 60% or 100-200% tariffs will make US companies lazy & uncompetitive - not reduce energy prices.

I’m in a part of the online space with leftists and liberals mostly, the past week has generally been extremely hopeful for most of both sections. I know one leftist in the UK who convinced her husband who is a US citizen living abroad to go through the process to vote in PA just yesterday because of the switch.

Massive deportations will cost tens of billions of dollars & decimate our economy. Democrats will focus on those nonAmericans who are a threat to our safety to deport as both Biden and Obama did

I often turn to dictionary definitions or functions. I would proceed like this, “Prosecutors are responsible for prosecuting offenses that violate either state or federal laws that either a state general assembly or congress have enacted. Can you help me understand what part of that is problematic or off putting?” Of course, that is assuming it is a honest, open, and civil exchange.

You can open this question right here in this channel. We want to hear about your conversations so that we better understand how they are going and what challenges you face. Maybe you can give more details why Kamala's prosecutor background could be seen as a negative thing. The other day I heard a political commentator saying this makes her more popular with suburban voters.

People just want to see more from Kamala--lot of questions about when she gets interviews, town halls, debates.

One of the reasons I want to vote for Kamala is that she does show empathy for the Palestinian people. A ceasefire is very important to me, as I value human rights and safety for all people (freedom from fear). There’s a delicate balancing act that Kamala needs to pull off, and I felt like her comments after her meeting with Netanyahu were nuanced and spot-on. I hope that she’ll continue to emphasize the human rights of BOTH Israelis and Palestinians. I’m an independent voter who was undecided before she joined the race. So the undecided voters are not a monolith in terms of their views. Everyone I know, Democrat or undecided, has responded positively so far to her comments on Gaza. There are also folks who appreciate a nuanced approach.

I hope you're right! I've been really impressed by how careful and nuanced her messaging has been so far, but the balancing act may be her biggest hurdle. It's a little disheartening to see the GOP sowing misinformation about a potential Shapiro VP pick and setting up "Genocide Josh" to capitalize on discontentment

Here’s a question for the online engagement volunteers or mods: When a graphic displays a website, do we think adding a QR code is helpful or not? The downside is they can draw attention and clutter up a design and we wouldn’t want to do that if people think they aren’t helpful.

Graphic designer here - I personally don't see QR codes on websites as being very effective. If the person is viewing on a desktop and takes out their phone and scans the code they've moved from the desktop to their phone. I think its more effective just to put a link to where you want them to go instead of a QR code. I typically only use QRs in print media and physicial signage. Hope that helps!

I would be more tempted to put the link in the graphic. At least then, whoever downloads knows the link to put in captions, etc.

Thank you, but unfortunately I tried looking up the issue in the app prior to commenting here. While searching for Harris specifically, Border/immigration isn't a filterable category. Searching for border produces 2 videos, and immigration only 1 (which was included in the border search results). Israel/Palestine isn't a drop down either. Searching for both individually produces the same video included in the border search results

I'm aware of categorized content from independent creators, but I'm unsure if they have those categories (also lots of content were for Biden). Uncategorized content has more libraries.

Reach just suggested we post a video of Trump stating all legal scholars demanded roe v wade be overturned with no statement that that was a complete lie. Seriously, if we want to lose this election, not calling trump on his lies is a good way to do it. This is what you want us to post??? “I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars, both sides, wanted and, in fact, demanded be ended: Roe v. Wade. They wanted it ended.” I’m not posting that until it states that that was a complete fabrication. Do better, people!

Young ppl don't care about hashtags they want influencers they like to endorse if that makes sense. If you use hashtags to get seen by young ppl in spaces that aren't political they get annoyed. You can create a call to action hashtag like get active or go vote with a year attached. Grassroots hashtags will be most successful for Gen z that don't feel apart of much. Ex: local trash clean up hashtags or subreddits for cleaning and use your host training to organize (something I'm working on today)

replying to 2024-07-29T20:06:26.8+00:00 by cerebrix. I wouldn't put that past them at this point. I don't like to put on tin foil hats. But Zuck did say he thought Trump "looked cool" last week. Just in case though, I dusted off my mastodon account.

I was expecting this. This is why I suggest everyone to use every single social media account at their disposal. It also helps in the sense that while people are still using platforms like X/Twitter (whatever it's called now) & Facebook, there are others that are using smaller ones like Mastradon and BlueSky as well.

No problem. I've been doing this kind of work since Phil Murphy's re-election in NJ and I learned a bit about how wording a hashtag a certain way attracts certain audiences thanks to a digital media organizer I worked with on John Fetterman's campaign.

I'm actually starting to draft a bill suggestion i'm planning on sending to my representative Melanie Stansbury. microblogging is an important way for our government to communicate with the public. Especially during disasters. What scares me is the thought of a company getting bought up or going out of business when our leaders need to reach us. So I want her to suggest requring all government agencies and representatives to exclusively use open source platforms like mastodon that don't rely on a company. The US can afford to run it's own mastodon servers (and does already in a lot of education settings). That way we never have to worry about any of those nightmare scenarios.

You should cite on that bill that the Dept of Defense uses OSS extensively for similar reasons - to avoid vendor lock-in. eg https://element.io/

Since I'm talking about OSS, you might also tell them to read the licenses. The GPL wants to be the "de facto" standard but it has a ton of gotcha clauses to prevent any source code at all from being hidden away or proprietary. That might not be completely possible in a gov scenario.

I just feel like if it's ok for states and the fed to use X then the problems with the gpl are scenarios we are more than equipped to deal with as a country.

Uhhhh congress was asking Mark Zuckerberg for IT help when he was supposed to give congressional testimony. You'd think people are smarter than that, but tech is still too much of a black box to way too many people.

FYI, Elon Musk has suspended the White Dudes for Harris Twitter.

It’s unsuspended now but yes he did indeed

I was on the White Dudes for Harris call -- email from the organizer today says " Over 193,000 people attended the kickoff call We raised $4.2 million dollars last night for Harris for President" Over 25 speakers over 3 hours. Totally inspiring!! Here is Youtube link https://youtu.be/dnnKXuYcDU0 MANY short clips can be made from the video for messaging.

Forgot to mention, if any of your family or friends are in the Teamsters (IBT) Union they released a magazine asking their members who the Teamsters Union should endorse for President. Let’s try to get some Democrats endorsed by Teamsters: https://x.com/teamsters?s=21

After its President [praised Trump's VP at his RNCC speech](https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/07/16/teamsters-chief-praises-jd-vance-among-other-gop-lawmakers-at-convention/ ), the Teamsters [were considering not endorsing](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/blow-biden-teamsters-consider-no-endorsement-2024-race-2024-07-15/ ). But he has/will interview both nominees for a potential endorsement. Biden has protected the pensions of over 1 million union workers and retirees from cuts. In several swing states, he has protected: 40,000 Teamsters in Ohio and Michigan; more than 30,000 in Illinois and Missouri; and more than 20,000 in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania.

Love that, too! I tried the combination of PB and Nutella just a couple of months ago for the first time. I want more of it. If it's the only meal that is left, then I'll have two jumbo glasses of that. (The last meal should have some calories, right?)

Thanks to all who responded to me yesterday about QR codes.That was really helpful. I’m one of the creators in the volunteer content brigade and I have another question for all the Online Engagement folks. We have occasionally gotten some feedback as to what subjects you’d like us to cover (Project 2025, Kamala’s accomplishments etc.) But what we haven’t heard is how you’re feeling about the content we are making. ** Is there any feedback you can share about what things – or even types of things – your people are responding/engaging to? ** For instance: – are comparison graphics between the candidates helpful? – or infographics? – snarky jabs at Trump/Vance/GOP? – graphics featuring quotes (either negative or positive)? – memes? – positive photos, slogans of Kamala - negative videos of Trump/Vance/GOP – positive videos of Kamala - Has anything really clicked with your circle that surprised you? Or has nothing? And how are the volunteer-made things comparing to other things you find online and share? Is there anything others are doing that you would like our team to lean into more? And lastly, a question for the leads. <@1256039311367999658> <@941196169852366859> <@1054909991468929104> <@1184187512491618404> <@1263196733790224597> <@1247909990560301182> <@1248274609086660722> I know views and shares are a very inexact science, but Reach and Sosha and Discord all have analytics and ways of getting feedback from volunteers. Do we have any data on what we think might be working well and working less well at this point? Thanks very much in advance for your honest and constructive feedback. We have lots of wonderful volunteers creating lots of different things — which we will all continue to do. But personally, I think it would be great to hear how it all might be playing — or *not * playing — out in the wild and how we can better help you engage!

I don't understand what the expectation is here at Discord. I volunteered to take specific actions. I am working during the day and do not have time to search through these channels to find why I'm getting notified as if I have a DM. Can we please have an action-only type of channel. I'm sorry, but my time is very limited and I need this process streamlined, please.

What really resonates in my communities: GOOD NEWS (about the economy, jobs, border crossings, crime, etc.) with the data that supports it. Presented in easy-to-read format. Bulleted lists. Things that people can easily digest and then copy to share in their own networks.

You can also mute the chatty channels. On mobile you long click the channel name and there is a mute option. The announcements pages will really have all you need for specific actions requested as far as I can tell.

Suggestion for the Reach library - add State labels. There is state-specific content under Economy, Infrastructure, etc. It would be handy to have compiled by state for easy sharing to friends in those states.

<@577210116668129281> I really like the positive infographics that emphasize what VP Harris has done with impactful visuals like the postpartum maternal care comparison maps. I also would like one that emphasizes her tie-breaking votes on the big issues to show how she's been working as hard as Vance, if not harder, while Trump's been golfing.

My biggest concern is what I call “The Hilary Problem” aka she wins the popular vote but the other candidate still wins somehow

I see very little mention of Christian Nationalism on here...and I searched. I'd like to recommend James Talarico's sermon on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blph_2RSBno (as well as his sermon on Separation of Church and State: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E5jjHW6ncc) We could build a toolkit out of those two presentations alone. Christian Nationalists are not Christian.

That's why they focus on the Get To 270 strategies, focusing on the states we need to get the electoral votes. Democrats have won all the popular votes in, I don't know, some big number of past presidential elections, so this isn't just a Hillary phenom.

The Biden policy on Cap Gains I know (since I pay Cap Gains and depend on income from investments) were not going to increase for anyone who didn't make over $1M per year. It would affect very few of us normal people. I also had a phone bank call where they asked about Cap Gains. It's just a scare tactic w/ inaccurate info. Those who make over $1M/yr have tax experts who help them get deductions to minimize all these taxes, which change all the time.

I am having trouble connecting today to calls but I noticed on The David Parkman show (YouTube).. a debate about Kamala Harris or Donald Trump for president.. with, I think, a centrist and a conservative! - They claim Dems want to keep the boarder open by not closing it, by controlling it instead. This seems to be the only talking point that can be policy related so far, to me. - Trying to redefine a "sanctuary city" > conservatives would like to see only legal immigration processes and don't want their language policed when describing their issues i think ? - They separate the think tank for P2025 from trump and claim there are liberal think tanks, too.. but i don't see a manifesto for Democrats ? 🥲 - Conservatives seem mad they don't have more involvement in their schools oversight of their kids pronouns, they said it gets drowned out by the insurrection https://youtu.be/avnZ71SxdYM?si=-UwagRmUdt_LuuH7

replying to 2024-07-31T13:56:23.597+00:00 by Vincent A | NC 08 I see very little mention of Christian Nationalism on here...and I searched. I'd like to recommend James Talarico's sermon on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blph_2RSBno (as well as his sermon on Separation of Church and State: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E5jjHW6ncc) We could build a toolkit out of those two presentations alone. Christian Nationalists are not Christian.

I've been using Talarico and his Youtube videos with all of my faith networks and I have many in PA. It's a very straightforward, sound explication of Christian Nationalism without a lot of theological jargon. I recommend its usage.

On getting more engaged with faith communities, there is a program called Labor in the Pulpits which is done in congregations on Labor Day. It usually has a person from Labor delivering a message. In PA, that message might be about sustainable energy and increasing the union labor force to make that a possible. This could be tied to voter registration and identifying voters for the Harris campaign.

I'm starting to notice a pattern in comments across diff platforms. The commenter writes: "I'm from . I'm worried about . Can you please explain how this could work?" This starts a whole worry cycle among the posters. One little comment and mission accomplished. We really need to be vigilant and keep our eyes on the prize. Anything that deflects from Trump's overt racism, extremism, and weirdness helps him and hurts us. If anyone has other tips for spotting a bot or paid actor please let us know!

In thinking about online engagement we need more stuff in Spanish. If we are going to get the Hispanic/Latino Community to vote for Harris especially Latino Men we need to reach them. The Hispanic/Latino Community is not a monolith. Immigration cannot be the only focus since Puerto Ricans are US citizens and the issues Puerto Ricans face are different.

There is much online to counter his claim. For example, here is what's in an article from NBC: Project 2025 "is backed by over 100 conservative organizations, many led by close allies of Trump, including Turning Point USA, the Center for Renewing America, the Claremont Institute, the Family Policy Alliance, the Family Research Council, Moms for Liberty and America First Legal — the latter of which is led by Stephen Miller, a top former Trump adviser. Former Trump administration officials who have been directly affiliated with Project 2025 include former Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, former deputy chief of staff Rick Dearborn and former Justice Department senior counsel Gene Hamilton. Vought, one of the key authors of Project 2025, is also the Republican National Committee’s platform policy director."

Yeah just because he SAYS anything doesn't mean he is telling the truth. He lies so much and threatens others when lying... it is a pattern. Ppl think donating to a democratic campaign somehow means he didn't donate somewhere else? No real counter arguments... interesting.

It's incredibly common for business people to donate to people of both parties.

To add: One isn't a party it is a group of people attached to a party. One is a real party. So it seems more sus he didn't just donate to an actual conservative group he believes in if he denounces THF so much 🤓

Lootboxes have some serious means of harming people vulnerable to that type of gamification. On top of that, there was nothing holding many gaming companies accountable for the way they presented loot boxes. Oftentimes, they would present the box as having a "chance" to win a high-value item, but in reality, you'd have to spend hundreds of dollars to pull the high-value item LAST out of the box, which shouldn't be the case if there were actual chances to win, as implied.

I did not realize the financial strain it takes. So the gambling addiction side could be very serious in video games. Would this become something like slot machines since it's compared so often?..

I think it is important to show it can be not harmful for people who can manage it! But I understand why you wouldn't want to when it is so serious!

It really depends on the implementation. And it definitely needs some major disclosures and regulation if it is a "chance" to win.

I know Chistian mentioned the supporter content channel. We also will have things though Reach so also keep your eye out there as well. If you use the mobile apps, you can set notifications for both Discord and Reach for new content. Also, SoSha is our newest tool in the arsenal so check out that as well.

Also, I may be biased since I work with the Content Brigade but defenlty look at SoSha since it's 100% grassroots created content.

I'm getting total dejavu here. Here's why: I was a field & distributed organizing volunteer leader with PA Dems in 2022 and that year in the governor's race, the GOP nominee, Doug Mastraino had ties to a social media platform called Gab which was not only far right but it was also anti-Semitic. That last one was a huge talking point because the Democratic nominee--and now PA's current governor--Josh Shapiro is Jewish. Oh man...the GOP never learns, do they?

I just spent a month in Ireland and they put their refugees and immigrants on social welfare and provide them with housing. That is the kind of government I want!

2024-08-02T16:05:57.474+00:00 by Laura [ lauratx62 ] avatar

The same when I was in Spain. I was living in Gandia when refugees were stranded in a ship. Our city took in an amount that community groups could support. They were welcomed at the Town Hall and given Spanish lessons. Those that were able were given jobs in the city or community to offset their cost of housing and utilities. They were put on the social healthcare system and given vouchers for food and personal items. This helped the local economy as well. The Mayor and city council decided how many immigrants were allowed in the city. I had to register at the City Hall and the police department to stay past my 3 months and apply to the province capital for residency.

Something I recently posted in light of Trump trying to make it appear he's not part of or supporting project 2025. Don't fall for the PR stunt. Project 2025 is the playbook for a Trump presidency organized by The Heritage Foundation. In 2022, speaking at their annual leadership conference, Trump actually said, “This is a great group, and they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do…And that’s what’s coming.” Why else would he tell Christian extremists you won't have to vote anymore after 2025 if you elect him? Whose staffers are all part of project 2025? Trump's. Whose appointees are part of it? Trump's. Whose supreme Court appointees are part of it? Trump's. Who works in the background as donors and funders of Trump? The federalist society and Project 2025.

Hey everyone! I wasn't sure where else to put this, but this could be big, and maybe something that we should keep in our back pockets as the Trump campaign tries to distance itself from Project 2025. JD Vance is literally the face of conventionofstates.com right now. If you don't know what it is, it is Project 2025 without going the whole "executive branch takeover" route. Article V of the Constitution includes two routes for amending itself. This is the option that we have never used. They want the same thing as Project 2025. They even said so here in an archived blog post: https://web.archive.org/web/20240802175038/https://conventionofstates.com/news/what-is-project-2025-a-plot-to-destroy-america-or-a-playbook-to-dismantle-the-ruling-class I archived that link in case they scrub the blog post from their site. I think it is important to get some eyes on this. Bringing light to Project 2025 has severely damaged the Trump campaign. If Convention of States gets the same attention, AND Mr. Vance is proudly the face of it, perhaps this could energize more democracy enthusiasts like myself : ) After all, the distance between Trump and Vance will be a heartbeat if they somehow win. Again, sorry if this isn't the right place. I wasn't sure where else to get the word out. Archived link with JD Vance as the face of Convention of States' website in case they scrub it: https://web.archive.org/web/20240801031329/https://conventionofstates.com/

Trump STUNNED as HIS Former Voters LEAVE HIM for Kamala

2024-08-02T20:17:51.091+00:00 by JerryK-MD [ jerryk5558 ] avatar

The “Blue Wall” polls are all now within the margin of error. The momentum is with Kamala and Trump is flailing. There are lots of reasons for optimism. But with three months to go, this is far, far from won. So we need to keep reminding voters who Trump is. And no one has more credibility doing that than the unprecedented number of people he invited into his Administration who left sounding the alarm. Like British-born Fiona Hill, the leading Russia expert on Trump’s National Security Council. Hill witnessed first-hand Trump’s fawning, creepy admiration for all-powerful autocrats like Putin, Kim, and Orban. She warns “we’re in a very dangerous moment” and that a second Trump term "is “a path toward authoritarianism and autocracy." See for yourself here . It’s just 50 seconds.

🧊Today’s Icebreaker 🧊 If you were able to add someone to Mount Rushmore, who would it be? I'm part Native American so I'm not really 100% crazy about Mount Rushmore to begin with but if I had to, I'd have to give a shout out to two of the greatest Native American Democrats to serve this country in the political world: Sharice Davids & Deb Haaland.

I suppose , in theory FDR. However, One President from the 20th Century with three Founders is an even number of heads on Rushmore.

Where can we find fact sheets contrasting what Harris Biden has done for us or will do versus what Trump has done? I get attacked from family members online every time I post a pro Harris or pro Dem post. I could google talking points but wanted to know if there is something more handy.

"She was always of Indian heritage, & she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was #Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black," #Trump said, adding: "She made a turn, & she became a Black person, & I think somebody should look into that." As #unhinged as this sounds - & is - Team Trump believes this is a politically smart message.

I'm planning to read through the Project 2025, the RNC platform, and the DNC platform when it is released to create posts like the one below. In short, I want to pull factual info/quotes from the documents to compare and contrast. Then attach screen shots of the relevant language from the documents. Does anything like this already exists? A lot of what I'm seeing in the Reach App are general, very broad, statements. (This is a screenshot from my Facebook page, the individual documents are fully visible there)

No, there are orgs that focus on Project 2025. But I'm not aware of comparisons. By the way, Trump has videos for his Agenda 47.

Hi Deb. Thanks for being here with us. It looks like the staff has made that action card expire for us in the monthly points contest. HOWEVER, the video might still be available to you in the LIBRARY section of Reach. Look for that button next to the ACTION feed, then select see all RECENT CONTENT. (The videos have their length in the bottom right corner.) Perhaps it is there now? Or in one of the Galleries already? Thanks again. (In general, action items are moved to the COMPLETED section once you've marked them done. So sometimes you just need to click on the COMPLETED button to see them. Again, this one expired so you probably won't see it.)

I have been looking for a side-by-side comparison of Harris Vs Trump to use with anyone on the fence, but I'm not sure about using this one. It doesn't feel like an apples-to-apples approach in how they compare the two on some of the issues-- look at "immigration," for example, where on Trump "side" it is just a quote from his website that begins with "Trump promises a crackdown on migration. His campaign website says: "President Trump will shut down Biden's border disaster...." And there is no reference to the disastrous family separations policy that were in place when he was in office, and no reference to his recently killing the bipartisan immigration bill so he could continue to blame Biden for issues at the border: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/immoral-republicans-rebuke-efforts-kill-immigration-deal-help-trump-rcna135732

agree with this! got a fairly contentious text reply last week that I almost skipped over, but they did ask questions that I decided to first answer honestly and in a friendly tone (but without backing down) and by the end of it they were undecided

Although my conversations are online they are with people I have relationships with. My focus has been to ask for specific Trump policies while sharing Harris proposals. It is at least clear to me who is more interested in helping the most Americans. I've made some headway with this approach but... Still fighting the good fight.

I think Trump’s rhetoric and racist comments are turning a lot of voters off and so offering information about our candidate and her vision for ALL is resonating. I also love the messaging around abortion that tells folks they don’t have to abandon their faith. So good

I've been trying to engage disenfranchised Republicans who definitely don't want to vote for Trump, but aren't sure about Harris. My approach with them is not to bash Trump (since they already don't like him) but try to find areas of shared values and interest that a Harris presidency could bring.

Misinformation: This isn't that big a deal as he did have a decent crowd and the fight is real for voter turnout, but I saw a lot of online chatter about the Trump Atlanta rally crowd and much disinformation. So I found a YouTube channel that was showing the rally (on live stream loop, and still is) and the video has a section where they scanned the entire stadium and there really were so many empty seats. I don't know if it's AI some of the right's videos are posting but they're claiming the seats were only empty before Trump came on but that is not true and can be viewed here, if you have any friends/family who trust you enough to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5QW-WxscqE (can scrub through video to see the empty stands while Trump is talking). edit to add: Trump even talks about all the empty seats and blames the university staff.

This is so true. Harris brings a joy back to being American. The contrast is so stark.

It's hard to say what's been most effective, but one thing I know is that when I bring up the 60+ election interference lawsuits lost by the GOP after 2020, they go radio silent. Helps to mention that most of the judges were GOP appointees, including some Trump appointees, and that several judges admonished the plaintiffs for wasting the court's time. (Of course, this only works when people bring up the topic.)

I've also tried to get a conversation going about what values / outcomes we actually SHARE as a nation, regardless of party. This can be a good way to highlight what the Democratic party can do to achieve those things, again rather than just railing against Trump and christofascism.

Fears about dangerous immigrants is really big, sadly. Also, a big focus on abortion as murder. I think they have also been told to fear that Christianity will be outlawed.

I really haven't seen much content produced to aim at them just yet. It's mostly preaching to the core choir (Dems) or anti-Trump messaging.

The problem w/ these side by side posts is MAGA is replying that these aren't taken at the same time during the rally and the Trump clip is "before he came on". It's hard to tell if that that's true or not. So the link I sent is unequivocal evidence of empty seats, which Trump acknowledges in his rambling, incoherent, long, boring, selfish, weird speech. So it can be a response to those commenters to send that link (and can share with a timestamp so it starts right where he's speaking then swings to show all the empty seats).

I'm finding it helpful to highlight the MANY accomplishments of the Biden-Harris administration: Inflation is running at the Fed’s target rate over the past six months • Crime and murder rates are way down • Gas prices are down • The flow to the border is down • We’ve had the strongest economic recovery of any advanced economy in the world and the best job market since the 1960s • We have the lowest uninsured rate in American history • The deficit is trillions less • The Dow has broken 40,000 and all three indices continue to hover in record territory • Domestic oil, gas and renewable production continue to be at all-time highs, leaving America more energy independent than it has been in decades.

It was so strange and boring and truly weird, not even in a funny way. His supporters aren't energized and excited like Kamala's. They seem angry and sad.

My two biggest strategies have been showing people Trump and Vance’s own words with almost very little context, the message is so crystal clear it’s almost too hard to miss, while contrasting that with Harris’ message of freedom. It’s like night and day. Shining that light on how different our campaigns are can be helpful. I also have a tough crowd, my groups and friends/family are either conservatives or Bernie-left wing…

Bernie endorsed Biden. Has he endorsed Harris yet? BTW, I have a copy of Bernie's NY Times op-ed endorsing Biden if you need some talking points.

He hasn’t, he’s committed to working to elect Harris, but no official endorsement because there are certain progressive issues that he’d like to see adopted by the campaign. I think we will be getting to his endorsement soon now that they can start talking platform development.

Makes sense. In his endorsement of Biden, he begins by addressing a few things he "strongly disagrees" with. Then, he went on to discuss the many accomplishments and points in common. It was beautifully done, IMHO, and showed how we can disagree on some issues but still come together for the greater good.

Alright. Here's what I got. There in all likelihood won't be a recording as there will be a lot of focus on listening and answering specific questions and less talking points. The official Harris Campaign YouTube channel will have loads of really good content if you're looking for specific videos and recordings, though. Probably not the answer you were looking for, but I hope this helps.

The cost of living is a huge issue for him & many others (including me). Thankfully, I think I have him swayed, just by showing him the daily Trump meltdowns.

so my father, who was pretty high up in the corporate ladder b4 he retired, always says that the stock market hates political instability, and Trump is not stable. When the stock market is panicky, people get laid off. The general recklessness that Trump brings to office is precisely the thing that will destroy middle class jobs.

OOOh fair point - I think many would have no problem with going back to the Gilded age of robber barons and 16 hour workdays. But a lot of head honchos in the business world have come out for Harris. They prefer stability. Trump was very reckless with business regulations and it caused a lot of upheaval. Also the threat of political upheaval makes CEOs very anxious, and when they are anxious, they curtail growth, and cut costs. They infinitely prefer gentle political turnover and changes that occur through the political system, because that often increases rights and that opens up more revenue streams. So if he's worried about layoffs/lack of career growth, he should avoid reckless candidates.

Here's another great data point: Since 1989 and a new age of globalization began, 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50m of those, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years. (Most of what I'm been sharing here today is from Simon Rosenberg's blog. He's got all the data!)

Most effective messaging for me has been contrasting Dem positions giving freedom and options to GOP policy positions esp from Project2025 that force the government’s will upon an individual. Just framing it that way seems to help. Any time I bring up any fact from P2025 it gets people thinking. I tailor the fact to the person I’m speaking with. And I always frame it as freedom vs government restriction of rights.

Okay, I'm going to pull out an old trick from my days as a field volunteer leader and see if I can answer this. The best way to do this is to simply see what issues matter to them. Engage in a conversation with them and then you provide the facts. For instance: let's say your friend talks about infrastructure. They say about how they're afraid of a bridge collapse or if they take mass transit, issues with mass transit. What you can do at first is connect with them and be like, "Hey, I get it. I was on the train heading home and I felt like this thing was going to fall apart (or there were delays not to be believed)." or you can say how you are concerned because of recent bridge collapses that caused traffic jams (we had this happen with a part of I-95 in the Philadelphia area). Next is to tell them how the Democrats have combat this. You can talk about how the Biden administration has pumped billions into improving our bridges and mass transit. For instance, here in PA where I live, that part of I-95 that collapsed was repaired very quickly and the mass transit system, SEPTA was able to accommodate the overflow to the point where they worked with other nearby systems to borrow extra trains to ease congestion on the rails. There was also an announcement in the Philadelphia area that SEPTA is planning to improve the cars on their subway lines and also, Amtrak itself has had massive improvements to their stations, trains, and lines. Basically you're connecting with the voter and providing information and trust me, it does work. For instance in 2022, I canvassed in the town I live in and this one lady said about gas prices which were close to $4 a gallon at the time in some places. I could relate because I have a (small) SUV and I told her how John Fetterman wasn't going to pander to big oil. It won her on voting Dem. Hope this helps.

replying to 2024-08-04T20:15:10.824+00:00 by Lemon_ Are there any thoughts to win over liberals who are voting 3rd party?

I have these people in my life. I have been this person myself. I don't mean to sound harsh, but are they voting in a swing state? If not, it may not be worth your time to try to persuade them. I was VERY confident in my ignorance back then... and of course, I had the comfort of knowing my protest vote wouldn't affect the electors from my state.

The best way to do this is to simply see what issues matter to them. Engage in a conversation with them and then you provide the facts. For instance: let's say your friend talks about infrastructure. They say about how they're afraid of a bridge collapse or if they take mass transit, issues with mass transit. What you can do at first is connect with them and be like, "Hey, I get it. I was on the train heading home and I felt like this thing was going to fall apart (or there were delays not to be believed)." or you can say how you are concerned because of recent bridge collapses that caused traffic jams (we had this happen with a part of I-95 in the Philadelphia area).

I think it's very important that we not get wrapped around the axel to try to persuade those who don't wanna be persuaded. Time and people are the resources we cannot replace. Spend your time telling your story and what it means to you in a truthful, authentic way. Those aspects matter more than any facts (if it were truly about facts, then we wouldn't really be where we are, would we?)

- the VP's platform always adheres to the president's platform, not vice-versa. If she says she's anti-ketchup-on-hotdogs, and pro-hot-peppers-on-Italian-beef-sandwiches, the VP candidate takes up that platform.

I think <@260982275506700288> may have been thinking more about smears and rumors about their identity or past, rather than their platform. For example in one of the calls I made today on a phonebank, the voter was concerned for increased scrutiny and attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community if Pete Buttigieg was picked. Another example, Kamala's husband was forced to acknowledge an affair in a previous marriage. The right will attack anything, especially if it distracts from the issues.

Okay, this is bizarre but I think I have an explanation. So, believe it or not, "Kamala" translates in Finnish as "horrible." So when the text was one word only, TikTok's auto translator didn't recognize her first name as a proper name, guessed the language to translate that one word was in Finnish and bingo! I suppose the exclamation mark made it even more likely to mis-translate this in the computer. So I imagine it's not malicious or an error on our part. It shouldn't happen with any sentence that isn't the one word "Kamala." And I'd also imagine that auto-translators should start recognizing her first name as a proper name soon.

replying to 2024-08-05T04:51:54.125+00:00 by Jamie-Leigh B. (WA) Lead Mod I think <@260982275506700288> may have been thinking more about smears and rumors about their identity or past, rather than their platform. For example in one of the calls I made today on a phonebank, the voter was concerned for increased scrutiny and attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community if Pete Buttigieg was picked. Another example, Kamala's husband was forced to acknowledge an affair in a previous marriage. The right will attack anything, especially if it distracts from the issues.

Yes thank you for making that more clear. The stuff I’m seeing online pushes a lot of contextless and sometimes just totally fabricated information on the possible picks. I think some resources to counteract these inevitable smear campaigns or lies could be helpful for a more rapid response online in the early days of the VP pick.

Imho, and of course I don’t speak for the campaign, but Harris has no bad options. I don’t think there will be any unity issues.

I agree, I am just thinking about the vocal minority that have a strong opinion on the VP choice, and how to keep them in the fray and reassure them online if their favorite isn’t selected

replying to 2024-08-06T00:48:05.843+00:00 by Zunny A. (AK) I have done the Reach training, but am going to retake it tomorrow. I have done the part 1 and 2 of engaging my community. After listening to my communities I discovered I need to take some more classes on disinformation, so signed up for more classes. Have been pushing out stuff from Reach to state FB groups and other social media sites. Just trying to figure out who likes what and where.

There are actually different [training events](https://events.democrats.org/?event_type=12&is_virtual=true&org_ids=9) for Reach.

I really like Walz. He's done so much for Michigan. All children have free breakfast and lunch. They do lunches during the summer. He's done a lot for education (he's a former teacher). He's done paid family and medical leave. If you get a driver's license you are automatically enrolled to vote. He's a great pick.

I’m praying this was a taken down of CNN to prove they are crap news now They ruined her moment! This was her moment to have and it’s tainted now. A progressive ticket is t big dad energy from Minnesota in my opinion but it is Kamala’s decision and I will support her to the end. However, it was a miss to make history with Pete IF the rumor is true. I’m not gonna feel anything until Kamala tells us who she picked. Socials are being insane right now and I’m waiting before I decide if I’m getting my life back some or if I stay in 24/7

I think we all are. There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to say, "Ok this person is donating enough, let's leave them alone" 😅 I've started reframing the texts and e-mails in my mind as the campaign keeping me updated with their messaging and outreach strategy. I'm already giving and volunteering as much as I can so they're not really asking ME. I get it though, there sure are a lot of them.

This is a good strategy! There was actually one solicitation that had a box to check saying “already donated” it should not be too hard to add that box to all solicitations and maybe they will if they get the feedback. I know they are in a scramble, so I don’t worry too much about it. I have $25 monthly going in and then I am choosing strategic times to donate a little more. … but I don’t think anyone wants folks to do more than they can and if you have donated once, you can contribute in other ways. I ordered the free postcards to send out. 🙏🏼 Thank you to all of us doing whatever we can and if the most we can manage is our vote, that really matters!!!

I'm what's known as an Xillenial. That's the people born around late 70s to the early part of the 1980s. Most of us were in junior high when the first terror attack on the twin towers happened and at the youngest around 9/11 were starting college.

Really want to give a shout to the people running the online engagement trainings. They're great. I went to parts 1 and 2. The best tip is that when people react negatively to a post, even when it's just something like sharing where Kamala and Tim stand on issues, it's better to just not engage. Move on and do the most good you can with others. My instinct sometimes is to engage to understand where the person is coming from. With only 90 days to go, we have to be focused on undecideds, not those who would never vote for this ticket. That really helped me, especially yesterday, when I posted about Tim adopting rescue pets. Most people were lovely and it got so much engagement. And there were a few who were just hateful. I just muted the hateful ones and it was absolutely the right thing to do. 🫶

replying to 2024-08-04T18:35:40.747+00:00 by Megan Marie Sullivan, Chicago IL OOOh fair point - I think many would have no problem with going back to the Gilded age of robber barons and 16 hour workdays. But a lot of head honchos in the business world have come out for Harris. They prefer stability. Trump was very reckless with business regulations and it caused a lot of upheaval. Also the threat of political upheaval makes CEOs very anxious, and when they are anxious, they curtail growth, and cut costs. They infinitely prefer gentle political turnover and changes that occur through the political system, because that often increases rights and that opens up more revenue streams. So if he's worried about layoffs/lack of career growth, he should avoid reckless candidates.

I know some swing voters who would respond to this message. They are pro-business and worried that raising corporate taxes will hurt the economy. So, anything I can show them that counters that and shows businesses leaders support Harris would be great.

Hi, What a difference a few weeks make! Harris-Walz is surging, Trump-Vance is flailing. But the election still looks to be razor close, especially in swing states. To that end, I’m pleased to report that the video series is gaining attention across the “Blue Wall,” with Democratic officials from Susquehanna County, PA, to Oakland County, MI, to Polk County, WI, sharing the videos with voters. It’s also heartening to see leading news organizations reporting on the large number of former Trump Administration officials who are not endorsing Trump in 2024. In that vein, Talking Points Memo just published a piece titled “The Democrats Secret Weapon,” identifying leading figures from the Trump Administration who are opposing him now. And I’d expect that the Democratic Convention, which starts August 19, will feature former Trump officials who are now supporting Harris-Walz. Indeed, an extraordinary percentage of Trump’s former cabinet appointees – almost 50% – are not supporting him in 2024. For good reason. Watch (https://ourfutureourchoice.net/compilation/) as high-level appointees explain why they left the Trump Administration sounding the alarm. And please share this link with neighbors, friends, colleagues, and relatives. Please also Like and Share this video via social media.

I agree and wanted to add some ideas. I was in conversation with a friend who said many of his co-workers are pro-trump, what do you have to say to them. I calmly said, I have nothing to say to them. I have no need to try and talk to them, no desire to try and change their minds. They are who they are. However, there are more of us than there are of them. My job is to make sure all of us are informed, registered and vote. It ended the conversation easily and we moved on. And oh my god do we all need to learn how to delete, hide or mute comments on our feeds. don't argue, don't engage, just delete. They can have their "free speech" elsewhere. Just not on my feed.

Stolen valor refers to taking credit for military service or credentials you didn't earn. Trump likes to pretend he earned a Purple Heart, for example. Some men parade about in military dress, complete with fake medals. It's an insult to those who served.

I was just about to mention this. Also, Trump was given a Purple Heart from a vet who supported him and he said, "I always wanted one." Now I have an uncle who has since passed away but he was in Vietnam as a tunnel rat and he was awarded three Purple Hearts. He didn't go in saying, "I always wanted this," he got it for doing service to the country. Also, after the third time, he didn't want to go back because he told everyone that he knew that would be the one that killed him. He came out of Vietnam alive but in a way it did kill him because he died in 2015 from health issues related to Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam.

I have encountered a few people saying Walz has stolen valor. I remember the Trump statement. I am unsure why they are stating that, I am aware he served in the Army, NG, to CSM, in 1/125 in MI, but beyond that I believe it's them that is mistaken. I am not sure what I am missing.

I gather from the scans that he retired just as his National Guard unit was called to go to Iraq in 2005. Napkin math says he was ~41 at the time. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/08/06/tim-walz-who-spent-decades-enlisted-soldier-brings-years-of-work-vets-issues-dem-ticket.html says he retired honorably. He has never claimed to serve in combat. He immediately went into the house of representatives and started working for veterans. This idea that he abandoned his unit is a big stretch.

I just shared it on Threads, Bluesky, Countersocial, and Spoutible. I'm not on Xitter. Left due to privacy/security concerns when Musk took over. I had 6k followers but didn't blink at deleting a 15-year old account. I've deleted as many years' worth of Facebook posts, but I'm still active there and have 2k friends on my personal profile and about 1k followers on my (mostly apolitical) author page.

In my less than humble opinion, no debate should have a crowd. That's what rallies are for. During debates the candidates should concentrate on the topics, and an audience tends to be distracting. That being said, that's so much more the case with someone like Trump.

Re: Message of the Day "Meet VP Pick Tim Walz" A couple suggestions: 1. Please make sure these message of the day items get added as "Action Cards" in Reach. It makes it so easy to share. 2. The link you shared goes to another video when the ad ends. I recall that it is possible in YouTube to create links that simply cycle back to allow viewers to replay the ad. You may want to use those features. Hope this is helpful.

Where can I find the new campaign ad that was posted on Kamala Harris Twitter page 2 hours ago? It is not in the Reach app, and I couldn’t find it here.

A general question >> how can I be impactful in a blue state? most of my online communities are local to the Bay Area, and myself like to protect my online profile because I work in social media for tech companies and I want to remain non-partisan for fear of alienating coworkers or customers. the only place i let loose is my personal IG (which i keep private) where i frequently post reels, images, and other news, etc. does anyone have any advice for maximizing reach?

I saw an amazing video out of Tennessee where a very hopeful man was saying how they could turn their red state blue if every voting blue person just found one person to take to the polls with them to vote blue. I think that's an amazing idea! There's so many people who don't get out to the polls just because their day gets busy or they don't have transportation or they don't have somebody to watch their kids. If you could be that one person to help that one person get to the polls that day, we could flip these red States!

I had a really interesting insight from the Medium posts I've written about Kamala and Tim - both around climate and environmental sustainability. When I focus on the story being about Kamala and Tim, not much engagement. When I focus on what they've done - the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and making Minnesota a climate action powerhouse - there's a lot more engagement. Not totally surprising since my Medium readers are focused on climate and sustainability, not politics. But it's an interesting learning to focus on the topic first in the headline and lead, and then connect to Kamala and Tim later in the piece.

Hi Laura, I appreciate your opinion. We do reach out to redirect folks whose messaging distracts from our purpose. We encourage content that highlights hope, joy, freedom, etc. This is a community for everyone and we need to consider how the messages are seen/understood by everyone. On the flip side, there are folks who want to share the cringy messages with their communities and we don't want to alienate them either. It's a fine line, and we do remove items that blatantly cross it.

I've had fun playing around with slogans about the "swift-boating" of Tim Walz, for example, "Hey MAGA, you may try to swift-boat Tim Walz, but we have Swifties for Walz & Harris https://x.com/Swiftie4Harris 😎 Many won't know about the swift-boating of John Kerry, so this may need a one-sentence explanation. The scary thing is that the attacks on the highly decorated Kerry probably caused his defeat. Mostly trying to bring you a smile 😎 & to let know about swifites4Harris.

Welcome Steve! The campaign will work with the DNC during the convention and post their policy positions after that. There is a lot of great content on Walz's previous work and accomplishments in the Reach app and in <#1250876565366243348>.

Just a quick note and reminder for FB users: when you share videos or links in main posts, the algorithm often suppresses them. I've seen this in action again during the past couple of days as I comment on the addition of Tim Walz to the ticket. Very little reaction, but all good, to a comment about being happy to finally see the positive small town values highlighted when accompanied by a shared video in post. Much more reaction on my feed, again all positive, to a very similar comment today where I posted a video link in the comment section. However, I don't think as many people clicked on the video.

replying to 2024-08-09T18:02:39.917+00:00 by AWolf Just a quick note and reminder for FB users: when you share videos or links in main posts, the algorithm often suppresses them. I've seen this in action again during the past couple of days as I comment on the addition of Tim Walz to the ticket. Very little reaction, but all good, to a comment about being happy to finally see the positive small town values highlighted when accompanied by a shared video in post. Much more reaction on my feed, again all positive, to a very similar comment today where I posted a video link in the comment section. However, I don't think as many people clicked on the video.

Facebook will give you much better engagement if you can download videos and reupload them as "native content" instead of links to outside sites.

I made a twitter account to help amplify messaging, and not even 5 days had gone by when the account was hacked, they deleted everyone I was following and I can no longer get into the account. Supremely disappointed. I was like, "wow.....ok."

Yesterday, someone was asking about effective hashtags. Here's a great example. Congrats - on the Chucks and your reach!

It's an uphill battle on there, but my perspective is that any tweet that gets out there, can help in some small algorithmic way. It's better than not trying at all. But I also understand the frustration that comes with it.

I think because Twitter has been such an institution of social media, it's hard to give up. So while the smaller minority of extreme republicans have much more amplified voices now, it's really a just fight to try not to let the platform crumble...for better or worse. Because a lot of people do still use it. But yea...

The campaign will work with the DNC during the convention and post their policy positions after that. There is a lot of great content on both Harris's and Walz's previous work and accomplishments in the Reach app and in ⁠<#1250876565366243348>. We don't have official responses yet to single issue questions but stay tuned after the convention!

Exactly. And if there's limited time and water (energy/resources), then it might be best to focus on a smaller patch? Most of us can't be effective everywhere. All of us CAN be effective somewhere. The trick is figuring out how to optimize (something I'm still working on).

Twitter really is a ghost town and still only has meaning for already established media accounts (usually with a financial interest in continuing there.) Not much there for individual users, certainly not new ones. That’s why replies do better than posts. No ones following or sharing. That said, everyone should be engaging in whatever platform they are comfortable on. There are a lot of fronts to this effort and I understand not conceding any spaces online. Hell, the campaign posts on Truth Social even!

Hi Leigh, I know it's frustrating but we can't opine, as volunteer moderators/guides, on what the campaign's positions will officially be when they haven't released them yet. The campaign is so new. We do wish we could help on single issue talking points. You could refer to previous work and statements they've made if you want to research that, but we don't know if those will be their official positions after the convention. You could ask them to let you get those positions after the convention or talk about what they've previously said/done.

Maybe sharing the longer video? She had a very respectful response saying something like democracy means all our voices matter but I’m speaking right now, and then continued yelling for over 30 seconds before she responded the way people are annoyed by. So I think that context explains why she was fed up with the disruptiveness? Like even though I also feel strongly about the ceasefire, that protest was not effective at all

Hi Folks, I’ve been close to dropping off X-Twitter, but I've been more committed since I’ve been doing community notes. Studies show that “X users repost content 61% less often once it receives a community note. Original posters delete their content faster once they receive a community note.” Also, I’ve gotten lots of great content and news from those I follow. You might like to see this recent report on X-twitter usage, demographics and more. Barack Obama's account is the second most popular after Elon, and more than Taylor Swift! Who knew?

since the DNC is putting together their platform now, the best thing they can do is call their closest Democratic representative and let them know who they feel - many people are understandably upset! but it's not worth letting it become a wedge issue, not when we have our representatives ears, and not when we're so close to sending a strong anti-authoritarian message. Apathy will not solve this - but I think it's also important to note that if you have close friends who feel strongly about this, give them sympathy. give them room to vent. Be a friend first. We've got 80-something days and a whole DNC to do. There's time to grapple and process. We have a wealth of compassion to draw on, and sometimes we have to show that first.

Sortof. It only will connect to the fedi servers willing to connect to it. There's a fedipact among many servers to block threads altogether because their content moderation is sub-par.

Thanks much, Megan, for your thoughts on how to respond to those who are angry and disillusioned with the U.S. stance on the Hamas-Israeli war. Yes, give sympathy and space to those who say "no ceasefire, no vote." I thought Kamala's response to hecklers in Detroit was too abrupt. She did meet with reps from the Arab American community before the rally, and as a result, an Arab American official is now supporting Kamala. In AZ yesterday, she had a longer response to hecklers saying the administration is working around the clock to get a ceasefire & bring the hostages home. I am working on talking points on this topic, using AOC's wonderful response and Kamala's official statements. Many credit Kamala for having more empathy for the Palestinian's plight & stronger on the need for a ceasefire than Biden. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/07/25/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-following-meeting-with-prime-minister-benjamin-netanyahu-of-israel/ https://www.thewrap.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-aoc-biden-gaza-war/

Reposted from <#1260333091319451660> by me (this is more of a deep dive) Little thing I wrote up about Tim's Nickname by Republicans/GOP Walz being called "Tampon Tim" by Republicans/GOP is actually doing our work for us; as we can see on this article by The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/10/republicans-tampon-tim-walz) Tim Walz actually made mandates for Schools to have Free Mensturation Products, The Guardians Arwa Mahdawi states "...mandated public schools offer free menstruation products in their bathrooms." Additionally, Mahdawi states that "Tampons are expensive! And “period poverty” – the inability to afford menstruation supplies – is a serious problem in the US." This New York Post Article shows how expensive Tampons & Pads are getting (https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/business/tampon-pad-prices-nearly-double-over-last-5-years-due-to-inflation/) As they have doubled the prices over the past 5 years. The Menstrual Products being funded by the State Government is **true** in https://www.house.mn.gov/sessiondaily/Story/17937 one of the many things the bill does is quote "$3.6 million for menstrual products..." showing the bill provides schools funding for Menstrual Products. Apologies for this being legnthy, but in conclusion Republicans are actually doing some good press for the Harris-Walz Campaign by naming Tim Walz "Tampon Tim". Despite them trying to make fun of him with the name.

Republicans are on the offensive, and ‘Tampon Tim’ Walz is to the r...

3:30 to 3:50 timestamps on leaked project 2025 video they quote stalin and hitler and then AGREE with them "if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it". Someone should clip that and then show clips of all of trumps major lies (with proof on screen that its a lie). I dont know how to do this, I'm sorry, but this would be a very powerful message to potential voters I feel. Here is a link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob2nmb97OkY

I have to answer the one from yesterday too since I have an answer for that. Yesterday: What was your go to movie as a child? The Goonies! I love that movie so much! Also, Beetlejuice and yes, I do plan on seeing the new on in September! Today: Where is the furthest you have traveled from your hometown? I went to Florida a couple of times. Didn't like it that much. Most of the time these days, I'll go to the NJ shore points and that's about it.

I have a newspaper putting out an article telling our state non citizens are voting - a sitting representative sending out an email targeting democrat donors - and another media outlet targeting our homeless community right in the middle of our early election - and I don't know what to do with any of it.

2024-08-11T05:06:25.6+00:00 by Carolyn • Lead Mod [ carb.on ] avatar

Oh my! you can write a response to the newspaper if they have a space for community contributions. If you know who the democrat donors are you can send emails countering the representative. Not sure what to suggest for the media outlet and the homeless.

Not sure if it will help speed up the process but I've been using Claude.ai to counter mis/disinformation. It's done a brilliant job so far. And have been able to use the output in community notes etc. Just make sure you double check what it comes back with cause it's not always perfect.

Hi Zuny - Here is a fact-check article on non-citizen voting I have used, and I state in my posts: "Non-citizen voting is EXTREMELY rare, as found by right & left-leaning foundations. Non-citizens have no incentive to vote – they risk deportation & jail." https://cnn.it/3LMzuHC

I friended a Republican today on Facebook who was answering a question on a post by an apparent Kamala supporter. The question was asked after a bit of hype about Kamala’s rise in the polls and her crowd sizes at her rally: What can we do to keep this momentum going. Surprisingly a Republican posted an answer that made total sense. He said, “Keep posting the excitement and show how large these crowds are at Kamala’s rallies. Post about the well known Republicans who are endorsing Kamala/Walz. And most important don’t argue with Trump supporters online, not only is it a waste of time but also because they like the attention. I would like to add that he also suggested Trump memes are not effective at all in convincing republicans but I know it keeps the excitement going and sometimes laughter is the best medicine for my current followers supporting Kamala and Walz.

I think most of them are behind the scenes laughing at the memes. We used them a lot in the Fetterman campagin and it seems people loved it. Of course I always get told to stop posting about this stuff by Republicans so this is refreshing.

I also wanted to mention something I think you probably already know, if Kamala and Walz win this election, there will probably be not only civil unrest from the far right (as promised by Trump) but also I was reading Pro-Trump election deniers have been put in place in all of the swing states. This could be scaring off potential voters who might have consequences to pay if they are Harris endorsers. I was wondering what plan is in place to help me ensure voters that his plan to steal the election regardless of the results will fail. Rachel Maddow recently pointed out in a video that Trump is now telling his supporters “we don’t need votes” “you are not going to have to vote.” etc. https://youtu.be/of9OP_a6MNg

Shawn, There may be well-placed election deniers in some states. However, many from our side are well-placed, too. That means any shenanigans will be made public right away. Also, this time around the sitting POTUS and the DoJ are working to proactively address corruption and illegality. The risk comes from a very close election. That’s why we need Harris/Walz to win big. Winning big—through optimism, commitment and GOTV efforts—will thwart their plans to meddle.

Well said. Is there some kind of publishing I can share with those concerned? I’m sure since I’m not an expert on the topic it will be ignored for the most part.

I think saying Walz 'oversaw the largest covid fraud scheme' is a lie. A Minnesota audit was able to uncover the largest dollar amount of fraud of all the states, and all participants uncovered have been charged. Why is this being pinned specifically on Governor? Fraud was rampant - look at the Brett Favre situation in Mississippi, for example.

I think we should be mindful of sharing any AI art or text that you see out there. I believe AI usage will be a continuing theme in the election and could be a repeated attack against Dems like we saw with the totally fabricated story about the so called “AI crowds” for Harris, so best not to muddy the waters in any way. Also, there is a sizable group that is vehemently against AI art, and campaign/supporter usage could really irk them. Would love to hear others opinions, though- I am not necessarily against AI in general but just have concerns on usage in elections.

As Harris-Walz pulls ahead, I'm seeing an increase in MAGA trolls and bots across my other online networks. Here's a timely reminder from a Reddit poster: Be particularly wary of the “concern trolls” and the “time waster trolls”. The doomer posts that try to get us to worry are sometimes from “concern trolls” who pretend to be democrats and aim to spread fear, doubt, division, and anxiety. Downvote, report and move on. Do not engage. The naive innocent question posts are also sometimes “time wasting trolls” or AI bots who aim to waste your time. The posts demanding that you justify your vote in detail or posts demanding a response to convince the poster to vote for Harris are designed for this purpose. Just ignore them (some are in good faith…check post history). Above all, please do not engage the trolls. Just downvote, report them and move on. Engaging with the trolls creates more troll comments which only creates more work for our wonderful moderators. (Thank you mods for your hard work!)

replying to 2024-08-12T13:16:16.397+00:00 by Nick from NY I think we should be mindful of sharing any AI art or text that you see out there. I believe AI usage will be a continuing theme in the election and could be a repeated attack against Dems like we saw with the totally fabricated story about the so called “AI crowds” for Harris, so best not to muddy the waters in any way. Also, there is a sizable group that is vehemently against AI art, and campaign/supporter usage could really irk them. Would love to hear others opinions, though- I am not necessarily against AI in general but just have concerns on usage in elections.

100% agreed with this. As a people-powered campaign I think we should support human artists/graphic designers as much as possible.

Personally, I find the trolls and bots super taxing b/c it is in my DNA to be a helper and I instinctively want to engage. As a result, I can get led down rabbit holes and waste time. On the plus side, I'm getting more confident in the talking points. lol

Sometimes I treat my responses to obviously bad faith comments/trolls/bots as a message to everyone else reading, not the actual “person” I’m responding to But you’re right that it’s a time and energy suck to engage with clearly bad faith posters. I usually just dip out of a conversation over having a long back-and-forth

This is JUST what I came in to figure out. Is there a guide to commenting, especially TikTok. I spent about two hours just deleting filter comments yesterday and this AM a thousand more. It does seem like timewaster bots. My views keep going up on this post tx to these but I just have to leave them filtered I guess and stop and go on. Any advice or resources?

dont delete them. Just dont engaged. The people viewing the post will leave comments regardless of side and that just feeds the Algo. keep it up, dont respond to negative stuff. I like to go through and thank or agree with people who i agree with. but other than that i dont interact

Okay so maybe this might need to be addressed a little more in the Part 1 and Part 2 Digital Engagement Training since I was trying torn and posting but also trying to engage when someone seemed a normies. And as someone said to educate others and respond to misinformation. So I guess not to be black or white but *for the most part* at least on TikTok posting content might be the focus and not spend time commenting, right?

Block then mute, but don't engage.

the current plane is N550GP - you can find pics of it in a hastily-applied Trump 2024 livery. It was previously registered as N212JE under Epstein's ownership. If you look up both registrations, you'll see that the serial number - 5173 - is the same

Today’s icebreaker: I am motivated to help in this election because of the erosion of our rights and national security we saw when Trump was in office, and my dismay that so many remain under the spell of right wing propaganda. During 45’s term I realized that he was not intelligent or disciplined enough to have reached the Oval Office alone, but I felt like it wasn’t only Putin/RU mafia behind him, that there were American teammates. Except the alt-right, I did not know who. Project 2025 was the missing piece of that puzzle. Heritage and something like 60 orgs were the policy brains that explained the disconnect between Trump’s actions and his personal character. It is going to take many of us persisting through adversity to maintain our freedom. I see that now. Before Trump I had opinions. Now I have experience. And yes, I am scared. But there’s no good option other than to work.

YouTube chat is notoriously bad about trolls. It's kinda limited and the faster the chat moves the harder it is. They have a security bot but it can only do so much.

I’m motivated because I realized that even as an individual, I have power in this situation. My first election was 2016, which launched me into a political landscape that was radically different from what I’d come to expect as a child. My second was 2020, during Covid and quarantines - I felt like I was at the mercy of the world around me. A lot of friends of mine in both elections either voted 3rd party or didn’t vote, and their vocal despair got to me. It made me angry but I also agreed with them. But since then, I’ve come to reevaluate my opinions and realize that I don’t have to be powerless - I can engage friends in discussion, I can push back on misinformation, I can donate to campaigns, I can make content to share with my groups. I don’t have to take the world lying down - and that’s very encouraging to me. That’s why I’m motivated in this election.

Unfortunately, you'd have to signup directly in those swing states. In swing states, you can choose to volunteer with Kamala's campaign, Congressional campaigns or even state campaigns. Each campaign would have their own events. You can add those swing state's channels here, but those channels aren't very active yet. I'd recommend joining the much larger [state groups](https://www.facebook.com/joebiden/groups) on FB and just ask the in-state volunteers for guidance. It's also a good way to familiarize yourself with the state's issues, so their voters can't easily tell that you're not a neighbor.

I agree. I work on an AI adjacent engineering team in my day job and I know how exciting AI tools can be, but it's contentious right now and I would steer clear of it, even for meme making. The tools definitely shouldn't be used for anything that someone might mistake as reality, even if that's not the intention.

My motivation is that I am old, I do not want to see my country going fascist when my dad was in WWII. This is not what our constitution says, nor what the majority of the people want. It is just plain unAmerican to want to take away people’s rights, to other groups so you can rachet up hate. I want these people back to where they don’t feel they have the right to minority rule. I also want something done about using lies to your constituents or to your audience for profit or propaganda.

Campaigning there is hard because it's miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles. We have a coordinated campaign office, so if you want to help, just go to NVDems.com.

It's why people have used TFG, Annoying Orange, and my personal favorite, Lord Damput (Colin Mochrie came up with that last one a few years back). I also have a friend who calls him "Orange Voldemort" and "He who shall not be named" but she's a Harry Potter fan.

🧊Today’s Icebreaker 🧊 What makes you motivated to help out in this election? I was looking at this question and I started thinking of a conversation I had with Colton today in a video call. I told him how I've worked on campagins since 2016 and in that year, I worked as a field volunteer with PA Dems in lower Bucks County. There was this little girl that came in and she was asking for anything related to Hillary and I remember giving her a piece of campaign lit we had that had Hillary's photo on it and the heartbreak of seeing Hillary lose. That's the one thing that always kept me going. I did a lot since then from texing into several states in 2020 to spending the 2022 midterms running phone and text banks for PA Dems during the week and knocking on doors in Bristol, PA on the weekends. I still have the selfies of me with John & Gisele Fetterman from 2022 along with a photo of me with then Vice President Biden in 2016 and a photo of me and a group of field volunteers in 2016 with President Clinton. This time I keep thinking it's different because we learned from the mistakes of 2016 and we are taking an approach I only saw as a campaign volunteer once before which was in 2022 with the midterm elections in PA. I know right now we're also taking an approach which is very similar to Obama but I keep thinking of the excitement of 2022 in PA and the heartbreak of 2016 and when Kamala said, "We're not going back," I was like, "And this won't be like 2016."

Just joined officially on Saturday, but I've been posting to my FB friends all year, since many are Republican and leaning family and friends "back home" (some of whom are at least reasonable and possibly persuadable), sharing articles with excerpts or my intro comments and also some memes, hoping to sow the seeds of doubt or show them how outrageous their leader is and how their party has gone astray. I try to use sources with mainstream credibility (which means they'll still be accused of being "the liberal media"), and especially like to share articles authored by Never Trump Republicans/conservatives. I hit often on Trump's disrespect for military service members and his blatant immorality and, more recently, his incoherence and age. I've begun using some of the materials on Reach displaying the positive, upbeat approach of Harris-Walz and talking turn-out and its importance for younger voters.

replying to 2024-08-12T16:49:44.86+00:00 by rootsmusic Unfortunately, you'd have to signup directly in those swing states. In swing states, you can choose to volunteer with Kamala's campaign, Congressional campaigns or even state campaigns. Each campaign would have their own events. You can add those swing state's channels here, but those channels aren't very active yet. I'd recommend joining the much larger [state groups](https://www.facebook.com/joebiden/groups) on FB and just ask the in-state volunteers for guidance. It's also a good way to familiarize yourself with the state's issues, so their voters can't easily tell that you're not a neighbor.

Thanks for this! I'm also looking to canvass in my closest swing state (Nevada). This is so helpful!

<@1184187512491618404> Just a heads up in case other people get tripped up by this- I had trouble finding the 'Share your outreach' activity today in Reach, after completing it yesterday, because it had moved off my main 'activity feed' into my 'completed' list

I live in South Carolina and have always voted but have also stayed pretty centrist- so it is rare that a politician grabs by imagination. I remember when that happened in Summer of 2019 with Pete Buttigieg- I saw him speak at a rally on TV and the next day I went to what turned out to be the grand opening of his local campaign HQ and met one of his organizers, Kat Thames. Kat taught me and her group of volunteers how to knock on doors and make cold calls and join text campaigns and we even met Pete together! We worked hard and became very close- we are still in touch with each other. Pete actually won our piece of South Carolina on the day of the primary! We did something right! This moment with the Harris Walz campaign brings those feelings back to me- we can actually turn this tide of potential disaster into something fun and hopeful- we can grow peace, joy and belonging in this world!!

It’s a way for you to map the online communities that you are a part of. So say you have a group on Facebook that you interact with, it gives you space to list out details on that space, like how the group leans (is it mostly pro-Harris?) Just a way for you to map out your digital space and the sites/groups you are a part of online! That way you understand how you can better engage with those groups

I use ai at my job for fun internal stuff - it once took over an hour to get a drawing of a lion in a old-timey swimsuit. I think we're still ways away from dystopian nightmare deepfakes, and I hope there's some regulation soon that would enforce a watermark on any visual generated by prompt. When it comes to writing, I've seen it be very useful for the very tedious corporate technical writing tasks that wouldn't excite even the most eager intern. Without careful and determined personal effort, it cannot be used for anything remotely creative.

I asked what was influencing this persons vote and they gave this response. "Christian values, the economy so working class can thrive again like they did under Trump, the open border crisis and the almost 100,000 missing migrant children caused by Kimala and Bidens policies, the fact we are almost in world war 3 due to their weakness. Boggles my mind why anyone who has lived through the last few years would ever consider that corrupt evil woman and her lying running mate. I choose to vote for freedom, peace, strength, and prosperity for the sake of my children's future!"

2024-08-13T03:45:13.572+00:00 by Purple (Maryland) [ purplehumaniod ] avatar

It's a little tricky because these take a lot of time to go through one by one, and sometimes people with this mindset don't want to listen. Maybe start by asking what Trump policy benefitted them or the country and see if you can establish how Trump didn't do anything for the economy except ruin it in 2020. I think that's a good area to start in because economy is #1 this election as always.

Pretty much, the short answer is, you know their position is hard no and there is too much to overcome. There is no uncertainty, no, “Undecided, don’t engage online. I’d personally Attend the training roots music advised. There is one tomorrow and there may be some ways to have a more productive discussion face to face and or online. There are lots of objections to overcome in that one and personally, time may be better spent sharing with undecideds and needs more info and involving decideds. Definitely attend the part 2 training it will help you triage.

No one else from the party has contacted me, regardless of emails, phone calls, text, or comments in the NJ channel.

2024-08-13T14:34:07.9+00:00 by Charlie [ zeltzerzootz ] avatar

to be fair they didnt really mention anything other than how they cant get people to join the caucus and then telling me i was judging them.

2024-08-13T14:38:26.434+00:00 by Charlie [ zeltzerzootz ] avatar

also, this isnt a judgement on anyone, but like, i wish i knew about these things before now. I only found out about the discord because someone on tumblr mentioned it because i talked about my problem on there. The liaison even expressed that we dont probably vote for the same reasons as she's a senior citizen. And i did express that I talk about better nursing home and end of life care facility regulations. More funding and science for Alzhiemers. Reducing the deffense budget to help veterans. these are things i activily use my platform for and to be told I dont care about the same things as her was just frankly insulting. She mentioned that they would like me to help get more volunteers to join, but then started talking about how no one wants to show up because its not a social club or a bar. I recommened that maybe a gay night at a local club hosted by the caucus might be a really good idea. Especially if the canidate was there. Like in parks and rec. people love that level of connection.

and this is just info dump at this point, but my mom was in hospic for a majority of my life, so i watch and heard about a lot of people dying while i sat there and did my home work either at the house with the patient or home. The elderly is something i VERY MUCH care about, because im very aware i will end up there with most likely a diagonoses for alzheimers. so it was just a massive slap in the face to hear her say i dont care.

Charlie, don’t feel alone in that, in the past, I have found that there are many people within local chapters, (even the dem county ones) often feel threatened if you are excelling or have a high level of experience. Many want paid positions and or to attend conventions. Do you and keep moving forward. Your light will shine regardless! 1000 people is an amazing accomplishment and proof your light is shining.

Not sure where best to post this info: I saw some analysis in WaPo this morning, quoting Blueprint polling analysis, suggesting that positive messaging about Harris/Walz is more effectvie than negative messaging about Trump. tl;dr: Voters are eager for fresh, positive messaging about Harris, and most voters (71%) have already made up their mind about Trump and won't be swayed by any additional negative messaging about him.

Wowzah! The Coach (Tim Walz) has spoken! Time for the Choir to Sing! If you need something to motivate family and friends or your activist team to do some meaningful volunteering for this election, have them watch Tim Walz give his speech to AFSCME, particularly starting at minute 17:00 onward. Here is my transcription of what "sang" to me ... "Hope is the most powerful word in the English Language...Hope is a great word and a beautiful name but is not a damn Plan. We can't hope that we defeat Donald Trump. We can't hope that we can collectively bargain. We can't hope that we protect Social Security. We can't hope that we address climate change. You don't hope to win. You PLAN, PREPARE and WORK to WIN. .... How many friends can we bring to the polls? ... If each of us does an extra shift, an extra hour, a little bit more, we get to wake up on that morning after the election and know that the work we did transformed the lives for millions, transformed generations, impacted the world. .... That's a plan. That's how the hope turns into the reality turns into improved lives. ... We organize, we donate, we volunteer. We will sleep when we are dead, we will do the WORK now!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXAazJJAex0

When i am spreading awareness for Project 2025 these are the most common themes for attacks i am getting from conservatives. These are all pretty easy to counter if you just spend a little time familiarizing yourself with them. I like to have some canned responses ready when someone uses one of these attacks.

1. **Clarification of Trump’s Involvement** - Many comments insist that Project 2025 is not Trump's project and emphasize that he has publicly disavowed it. - **Examples:** - "Trump denounced having anything to do with it." - "Trump said he didn't agree with some of the stuff in Project 2025. It's not his project." 2. **Attribution to Heritage Foundation** - Comments frequently point out that Project 2025 is an initiative of the Heritage Foundation, not something authored or endorsed by Trump. - **Examples:** - "Project 2025 is a transition plan from the Heritage Foundation, not Trump." - "Project 2025 was from a think tank." 3. **Accusations of Spreading Misinformation** - Several comments accuse the original post of spreading false information or deliberately misleading readers about Trump’s connection to Project 2025. - **Examples:** - "Why do you lie?" - "Stop spreading misinformation." 4. **Suggestions for Fact-Checking and Reliable Sources** - Comments advise others to seek information from more credible or authoritative sources, highlighting the importance of critical evaluation of information. - **Examples:** - "Do we remember the difference between .com .net .org and .edu?" - "Always consider that when viewing anything." 5. **Claims of Political Fear-Mongering** - Some comments suggest that the post is an attempt to create unnecessary fear or panic for political purposes. - **Examples:** - "Go fearmonger elsewhere, bot." - "Don’t fall for political fear-mongering." 6. **Dismissal and Ridicule** - Some comments dismiss the concerns about Project 2025 as overreactions or mock the premise of the original post. - **Examples:** - "Project 2025 is heritage foundation fanfic."

When you’re looking at where to engage, you might want to look at micro-influencers and pages that have followings of ~10K-100K people These profiles are considered more accessible than bigger influencers, have more engaged communities, and probably have a niche which you can shape messaging around, giving you more natural ways to engage. (Its a little buzzword-y, but helpful to visualize the next online spaces you can engage in)

That sucks that people are either being rude, or gatekeeping. It happens. I would check with various levels within your local party. You should have precinct leaders, a county party, a congressional chair, a state party, and the local campaign or another candidate. Find a down ballot candidate that wants the captive audience. You could invite someone from your local board of elections. As Shirley Chisolm said, "If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair."

Hi Charlie- I'm just another human but are you saying you want a candidate to come online with you DURING the DNC? That doesn't seem like a realistic ask. They are going to have stuff going on and if you are Watching the DNC- then how could you be interviewing someone? I'm not really seeing what you are envisioning. Maybe save that for AFTER the DNC?

sorry for the delay, im streaming right now. but i wasnt trying to get them on camera the week of the DNC, i am WELL aware that is very hard to do with how busy everyone is. With streaming, I can have people come on at any time. I can stream all day before the speeches start and chat with people then, like a regular live stream. ^-^ I just like hanging out and chatting and all the people who signed up for the watch party know this. The volunteer sign up person who called me wanted to talk to the superdelegate at the local HQ opening tomorrow before he leaves for the weekend. The local chair was in the email exhange and other than that one Mod that reached out to me today, i havent heard anything other then the volunteer person telling me good luck and bye.

like I know there arent going to be speeches going on 24-7 at the DNC next week, so I'll have time to kill between stuff so i dont end the stream to keep retention up. Its like a usual thing streamers do. If someone could sit with me and talk in my studio, cool, but i was only trying to first meet the super delegate at the HQ opening tomorrow. That was literalyy the entire point of the call/volunteer/ sign up everything

I think it pops up whenever you watch a video with Trump name in it. I was watching Mary Trump Media

replying to 2024-08-13T22:35:09.257+00:00 by Nick from NY When you’re looking at where to engage, you might want to look at micro-influencers and pages that have followings of ~10K-100K people These profiles are considered more accessible than bigger influencers, have more engaged communities, and probably have a niche which you can shape messaging around, giving you more natural ways to engage. (Its a little buzzword-y, but helpful to visualize the next online spaces you can engage in)

Can you tell me more about this? I pretty much only use Reddit so im not sure of the ins and outs of other social media.

It’s a popular concept in the digital marketing space- partnering or engaging with these micro-influencers is an easier and more accessible point to reach a sizable audience then trying to work with large influencers. I like to extend the concept to pages (or subreddits) that fall into this general follower/subscriber size as well. So for instance, you could sub to local or niche communities on reddit and be ready as a resource to discuss Harris/Walz plans that are relevant to that community, or the destructive impacts of Trump and Project 2025. A hiking or trail-running subreddit wouldn’t like the impacts to public spaces and parks, for instance. Neither would a local subreddit like Project 2025’s negative impacts on cherished local parks and community spaces. Of course on reddit, this is complicated by some subs that are hostile to/don’t allow political posts. But you can still be a resource in these micro-communities if the topic comes up in the comments.

Ok this is how i have been tackling the subject on Reddit. I am more of the outdoorsy educated type person so the national parks sub, the NOAA sub and a few others have been good for this. Im just not sure how to get the same effects on Instagram, Threads, FaceBook, Twitter (formerly known as profitable)

I’m not an expert in all of those platforms, but a good start could be engaging in the comment sections under the posts of these micro-influencers or pages. Especially if you feel your reach is limited or becoming tapped out within your existing network.

Hi Shannon -- There's LOTS of back and forth on X-twitter on whether Trump created Project 2025 [he did not] or whether he is likely to use it because of the close ties he and Vance have to the creators. There are videos from before Project 2025 of Trump praising its precursor. A strategy I like is to show the overlap between Project 2025 & Agenda 47, which IS Trump's.

This could be a great message line for some Kamala campaign graphic as I’m seeing a lot of republican voters online hemming and hawing about voting for a Democrat: ““Just because you vote for Kamala Harris in 2024, doesn't mean you’re a Democrat. It just means you’re a patriot. “

Hi Shannon - Yes, I am not surprised Reach would have terms like "Trump's 2025 Project". Harris & Walz and all Dem officials and office holders use that phrase. It's more accurate to say that Project 2025 was created for the next conservative President, which is what the Heritage Foundation says. It does seem obvious that most of the people working on P2025 would have major roles in a Trump administration. The Foundation is also vetting loyalists who would take over on Day One - also the day Trump says he'll be "a dictator for a day." [but they say no dictator ever likes to give up that title 😎 ]

First, the campaign uses "Trump's Project 2025" to refer to Agenda 47 because Trump keeps trying to disavow P2025 in favor of the latter. Second, both Heritage Foundation and Vance describes Heritage's current mission as "'institutionalizing Trumpism" (which is why Project 2025's contributors employs over 200 people from Trump's administration, including at cabinet-level). By the way, did you create the comparison table between P2025 and Agenda 47?

replying to 2024-08-14T17:44:54.907+00:00 by rootsmusic First, the campaign uses "Trump's Project 2025" to refer to Agenda 47 because Trump keeps trying to disavow P2025 in favor of the latter. Second, both Heritage Foundation and Vance describes Heritage's current mission as "'institutionalizing Trumpism" (which is why Project 2025's contributors employs over 200 people from Trump's administration, including at cabinet-level). By the way, did you create the comparison table between P2025 and Agenda 47?

Hi Roots Music - Good point about emphasizing that P2025 is meant to "institutionalize Trumpism." It's too late for this, but it might have been better if Agenda 47 had been the main target. I got the chart on the similarities between Agenda 47 & Project 2025 from one of the many twitter posts that used it in late July. Did a little checking just now and could not find its origins.

Hi Folks - I want to retract my recent message that shared posts about Trump being too old. I hear what others are saying about age discrimination - it ain't about age. Also, it ain't about memory. I found a great article by a psychologist who wrote about Trump's and Biden's decision-making abilities being much more important than their memories. Also found a health reporter video on why Trump's lifestyle puts him at risk for cognitive decline. Would be great if someone would pull out some quotes from the video. Here is a twitter post I put together: Cognitive Psychologist: Biden and Trump may forget names or personal details, but what counts is that “ Biden regularly displays the deliberative dispositions that characterize good decision-making . . . [He] has extensive knowledge & experience . . . & thoroughly investigates & discusses diverse viewpoints with his advisers before reaching a decision. . . Trump has considerably less experience in politics. He claims that he can make intuitive decisions in a field where he lacks knowledge by using “common sense.”. This claim contradicts the research showing that extensive job-specific experience and knowledge are necessary for intuitive decisions to be consistently effective.” https://bit.ly/3Xl4jKD A health reporter compares Biden’s & Trump’s lifestyles that could affect brain health, describing Trump’s heightened risk of cognitive decline https://youtu.be/KLvX2s50ihk

Favorite moment in history? I have been privileged in my life to have seen many amazing moments. But the one that gave me chills and thrills was Nov 2008. I was on staff at the National Hq of the United Church of Christ. The entire staff of over 200 gathered in the meeting room with the giant TV screen to see the replay of the video from election night. We were simply proud that the country could elect him, but we were also proud because he was one of ours. He had belonged to a UCC church for a long time. Many of us were crying such happy tears. And here we are, again poised to elect a leader we can respect and admire. Let's do this!

Quick question: Does anyone know of any content piece (i.e. chart, infographic, meme) that lists Kamala's policies that specifically benefit families? I found some in the Reach app listing single policies but none that have a full or partial list. If these don't exist, it may be a good idea to develop some as it's one of the questions I get from groups I engage with. I can help translate to Spanish as well if anyone with design skills is willing to create it.

This is a great suggestion! Nextdoor based on where you live and your interests. Also, it’s a group of folks who seem to need ballot help. I’ve helped three people so far this week with mail-in ballot request issues!

I'm going to go back to an obscure moment in recent history, which was the late spring of 2004. Alan Keys (r) was running for the IL senate seat, and made a stop at a Chicago high school. The young women who saw him speak were so upset by his lecture that they went on to make his opponent, state sen. Barack Obama, President of the United States.

Would like any thoughts ideas on whether to and how best to tap into Trump's tictac meme of shrinking size of tictacs as a sign of inflation to create something that plays off that but into Harris plans on corporate greed and price gouging. If you have thoughts or know of something created that can be posted on Tic Tok let me know.

@staff et all, I’m wondering how close we need to keep our zoom and discord invite links? I’m doing engagement with folks who are leaning Harris, but they are in open forums where anyone could grab these links, and so I haven’t been sharing them, and instead sending them to mobilize or iwillvote. Is there SOP for this type of situation?

As a historian, I immediately thought of the signing of the Magna Carta, as my favorite moment of history.

Hey, I'll be around here today until 4PM. Feel free to ask if you have any questions since I'm not only a Discord mod but I'm also an OE lead (I have so much to do that I can't fit it all in) Let me answer this icebreaker. What is your favorite moment in history? Watching Hillary Clinton get the nomination in 2016 was a great moment for me. Also seeing Kamala become the first female VP was increadble. I watched the live stream from my kitchen that year and was in tears.

That photo looks slightly AI generated. The letters are slightly crooked in spots and there's a bit of a swirl pattern in the building behind Trump that's characteristic of AI generation. It looks like someone generated the image and then cleaned it up a bit.

This is a great idea. I recommend reaching out to your county Dems office. Most counties have precinct captains who are supposed to keep in touch with residents in their precincts. Doesn't always work that way in practice, but... Anyway, reaching out to your local Dems is helpful because it avoids duplicating efforts. Plus they can help with promotion, etc. Good luck!

todays icebreaker: whats the bes thing I've read recently- I recently found out through a sciencific study that mushrooms are being used to clean up industrial waste sites in california with a 98% success rate. Once the mushrooms suck out most of the toxins the life begins to flood back into the area at an extremely incredible rate. Items broken down and obsorbed into the mushroom include: Lead, Arsenic, and a canvas bag full of lubed soaked rages from a bicycle repair shop. Once the mushrooms are full or behing to dye they are scooped up and taken to a toxic waste incenerator, turned to ask, and taken to an special landfil for just that reason. Oh! and its being done by the person who started the "grow your own mushroom kits"

Hey y'all - I'm on a Spoutible live pod that was just discussing this: https://www.salon.com/2024/08/14/can-my-husband-find-out-i-am-voting-for-the-big-question-touching-a-nerve-this/ Someone brought up that this could be a great opportunity for the campaign to have some messaging around 'your vote is your vote' to give women who have partners who are for the opposition the reassurance they may need to vote their conscience. Just wanted to pass the info along!

replying to 2024-08-16T13:33:19.047+00:00 by risapr1 ✅ I think it's time for the campaign to start promoting branded graphics with Voter Registration Deadlines for each state (and TV/YouTube ads -- and perhaps mention during rallies). I looked through a few states - seems that all deadlines are sometime in October -- and seems that "red" state deadlines are earlier in the month (interesting). https://www.usvotefoundation.org/state-election-dates-and-deadlines

I was thinking the same thing, but that site that lets you check by state is good too. That’s what I’ve been sharing on social media for now.

Wondering if there's content (image/meme or even better, a site) that explains, I don't know, basics of how the government works/ the role of a VP? So many ignorant comments all over like "Harris has as 1,300 days to do this...". It's quite concerning how little people understand and are blind to the idea of the fact of congressional gridlock. 😅

Trump’s disrespect of our military, especially the Medal of Honor recipient who “distinguishes himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty”, is despicable.

I keep seeing the videos of MVP talking to girls (about 4-5 of them now) where she is so affirming and telling them they can do anything. She is also telling them to hold their heads up, look in her eyes, and shaking hands. It's so beautiful. Is there a video that pulls several of these clips together anywhere or a site to find them together. I would like to share with my groups online but I can't share 5 different links. Thank you!

My favorite movie is "Under the Tuscan Sun". It's about a woman who takes a chance. At the beginning of the movie dhe says all the things she wants. At the end of the movie another character points out she has everything she asked for - just not the way she thought it would be. Happiness is in your perspective.

I have so many because I'm a movie freak. I love Mel Brooks so Spaceballs is an all time favorite (and yes, I'm excited about the possibility of a sequel) and I love The Jerk because to me Steve Martin is a LEGEND (big Only Murders fan here). I also love Good Time but right now I've been watching Beetlejuice a lot because I really want to see the sequel.

defunding is not the same as dismantling...violent crime has actually gone down, especially murder...The D is responsible for tanking the Border Security Bill that would have sent urgently needed resources to the Border

@jimcallahan448 5 hours ago Randy, too much ideology, not enough policy and realism. What is important for economic efficiency is not capitalism, but the price system. Interference with the price system by government OR BY PRICE-FIXING MONOPOLIES OR CARTELS are problems. Just now realtors who loved free market rents; just had their own price-fixing outlawed. The economic problem is not that Kamala's father might have been a marxist; it is that Kamala is a lawyer involved the court system. The court system operates by commands of a judge (according to law and legal precedent) as such is a command economy. The command model is the wrong model for the economy at large at least with respect to prices, quantities and styles generally. Long term price freezes below the price clearing level destroys supply (cartels raising prices above market clearing also causes an efficiency loss through over investment). Price freezes are only a short term emergency fix, the long term fix is breaking up the price fixing cartels through anti-trust enforcement or artificially increasing supply through subsidies.

If they're so concerned about communism, why do they not bat an eye at a candidate who absolutely has ties to Russia and Putin? *ahem, Donald Trump*

I tried to argue that with my brother who subscribed to the MAGA agenda, he acted like I was stupid. Of course like most of these misguided souls, he thought that socialism and communism are the same thing.

A good way I've found to deal with people you disagree with and cause them to change their beliefs might be a bit dirty, but from my experience it has been effective

2024-08-17T22:43:38.113+00:00 by Will M [IL District 11] [ yharonthearbiter ] avatar

Though this only really works if they don't know your political stance First, you act friendly to them as if you are on their side, even if you do not agree with conservative ideas. Because let's be frank, if you want the trojan horse to get into the castle, you need to have them let down the moat bridge first

2024-08-17T22:45:31.266+00:00 by Will M [IL District 11] [ yharonthearbiter ] avatar

Second, you take their own ideas and philosophies (like hating communism for example) and hurling them back into their face without calling them out directly.

I recently looked at data provided by the Department of Homeland Security on the “migration 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. I have a pdf with data and graphs I would like to share. How? Here are the main points of the summary: The total number of unauthorized entries in the Southwest border can be estimated between a quarter and a half million, a far cry from the approximately two and a half million reported encounters! The number of visitors overstaying their authorized entry to the US is significantly higher at about one million. Encounters include apprehensions, inadmissibles, and expulsions. Nationwide encounters are, as of July 2024, about 170 thousand a month, their lowest post-pandemic level. Border encounters are often confused with “border crossings,” “border arrests,” “illegal entries,” or a myriad of other terms. The number of undocumented aliens living in the United States has hovered around 11 million for the last several years. The estimated legally resident population is about 30 million or nearly three foreign-born legal residents in the US for each undocumented foreigner. About one million migrants become US residents legally (half through family ties) each year. Enjoy! JRM

Last time I looked into the issue - because I read that interview with Lankford where he asserted the 2.5 million number - it looked to be a willful misrepresentation. As far as I could tell it was a combination of 600,000 (which is the number of 'gotaways' that Sec. of Homeland Security Mayorkas cited in a hearing) + 1.9m encounters so far in 2024 OR 2.5m encounters for 2023. But encounters, of course, are not the same as the number of undocumented migrants making their way into the US and residing there permanently.

Hiya my IG comments have been locked 3 times since the campaign started...it was unlocked for about 1/2 a day and now my comments are locked again.Is anyone else having issues with Instagram? Posting to my own account is rather pointless as it's just preaching to the choir...If I cannot comment to amplify the posts of others, I don't even know what good I'm doing other than keeping my own followers engaged in election info. Feels very much like being CENSORED... I really need help figuring out what the heck I'm doing that is causing this...I've been posting to mostly political accounts but have not been posting the same thing every time... I am moving very fast so I slowed down so they wouldn't think I was a bot... I posted pics of cats to my own acct and some jokes so it is more than just politics...i'm out of ideas. Oh! And I'm getting so little views that I'm pretty sure that I'm shadowbanned.

I gave up on the dude. I kept thinking to myself Ron White had a point...you can't fix stupid and some of the stuff he was saying was rather stupid. To be honest, there are a lot who get it with the whole argument who are Republican and I always suggest people look at their arguments before trying to talk to the ones who are on the fence. A good one I always look for for this is Reed Galen who is one of the guys behind the Lincoln Project and he currently is the one behind its spin-off, Join The Union. I've been on Zoom calls with this man and he really knows his stuff. He also has a really great Substack if anyone's interested. https://reedgalen.substack.com/

Hi everyone, I was curious if there are any comprehensive master-docs hyperlinked with reputable sources/stats outlining failures and flawed logic of Trump/republican policies? Particularly economically? Many Americans 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 created by an activist in 2020, but haven’t found anything similar that’s more relevant to the 2024 election: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vQu3FFQnKObUTmABEnw-s1TKYH9-9tpKXQoQYHAS-QjNiGcTE3vow42a99FXNi_ZoC0Q6gM9LfxasCe/pub?pli=1

I am fully aware. Doesn't mean they don't still think of Russia that way.

replying to 2024-08-18T06:56:52.76+00:00 by Paige Hi everyone, I was curious if there are any comprehensive master-docs hyperlinked with reputable sources/stats outlining failures and flawed logic of Trump/republican policies? Particularly economically? Many Americans 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 created by an activist in 2020, but haven’t found anything similar that’s more relevant to the 2024 election: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vQu3FFQnKObUTmABEnw-s1TKYH9-9tpKXQoQYHAS-QjNiGcTE3vow42a99FXNi_ZoC0Q6gM9LfxasCe/pub?pli=1

Hi Paige - I don't have a single document. I rely a lot on Steve Rattner's comparisons of Trump v Biden on the economy https://nyti.ms/3yq37LR">https://nyti.ms/3yq37LR . You can see him on MSNBC with explanations of his charts https://youtu.be/HKrcTQ6JA04 and charts on his twitter site https://x.com/SteveRattner Elon Musk has pushed the idea that inflation comes from Fed spending, rather than corporate greed and high gas prices [not in control of Pres.] etc. Here is tweet I've sent: “Biden has delivered an impressive recovery.” Biden was better than Trump on economic growth, manufacturing, home prices, new businesses, health insurance, child poverty & federal debt. Jobs increased more under Biden, even adjusting for pandemic effects. https://wapo.st/4cZ7QTT https://nyti.ms/3yq37LR">https://nyti.ms/3yq37LR Trump backers who got him elected believed his falsehood that tariffs would bring jobs back from overseas. They still don't know that tariffs cost each family thousands. Trump plans high tariffs again & Moody's & Nobel economists show how that would raise inflation & cost jobs,

Former President Donald Trump, at his Wednesday rally in Asheville, N.C., said energy costs would be reduced by at least 50 percent within 12 to 18 months of his taking office. -- Do we have any fact checkers?

Yes, the page numbers reference the page number on the bottom of each page in the original Project 2025 PDF. If you click on them on a desktop, it will open the PDF directly to that page. Unfortunately mobile doesn't support that, so it will download the PDF and then you need to manually get to the page.

Hey, can anyone provide details about how the virtual DNC watch parties work? Will people have the ability to live chat in the room they are in while watching? Will the link stream the DNC right in the watch party website, or does everyone have to use a different tab like YouTube to actually watch the DNC content? Also what specific days and times are most important to watch? I am organizing for a group of friends/community that are leftist leaning and considering not voting for anyone as a political statement. They are persuadable but it would help to have some suggested specific phrasings of talking points

In answer to today's icebreaker, I'm looking forward to the Biden speech, just because it will be unusual, from a historical perspective. But other than that, I really don't especially want to hear from all the OG's. Bill and Hillary Clinton. Meh. I would much rather hear Pete Buttegieg and Josh Shapiro and more from the younger more refreshing Democratic talent.

Thanks Roby! Great job putting this immigration info together! Here is an article that makes some of the same points https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/31/fact-checker-trump-harris-ads/ . I've worked on messaging about Kamala's role in reducing the underlying causes of migration from El Salvador, Honduras & Guatemala. I relied on two articles https://wapo.st/3ABKjtI https://ampr.gs/3WNFHIt & the White House report of the plan she worked on https://bit.ly/46SZmeA Here is my summary that can be used for messaging [comments & suggestions welcome]: Contrary to reports that Kamala Harris was in charge of border enforcement, she was assigned to work with 3 Central American countries, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, to reduce the underlying causes of migration to the U.S. Migrants make the tough choice to leave their homes & homeland & head to the U.S. in order to escape extreme poverty, gang violence & corruption. She helped send more $4 billion in U.S. aid to those countries, including COVID vaccines. She obtained the involvement of over 50 companies that have invested $5.2 billion & created more than 70,000 jobs. Columbia Sportswear, Nespresso, auto-parts manufacturer Yazaki North America Inc., & others created thousands of factory & farming jobs. Her efforts were stymied by entrenched gang violence & corruption. Nonetheless, migration from the 3 countries during the Biden administration has fallen 35 percent, to a level lower than it was in 2019 under Trump. While encouraging, it’s hard to know for sure if her work on these long-term solutions helped cause this decline. – Dan S

replying to 2024-08-18T00:50:18.262+00:00 by rvsts Last time I looked into the issue - because I read that interview with Lankford where he asserted the 2.5 million number - it looked to be a willful misrepresentation. As far as I could tell it was a combination of 600,000 (which is the number of 'gotaways' that Sec. of Homeland Security Mayorkas cited in a hearing) + 1.9m encounters so far in 2024 OR 2.5m encounters for 2023. But encounters, of course, are not the same as the number of undocumented migrants making their way into the US and residing there permanently.

Thank you for sharing the Mayorkas information. 600k unauthorized entries. Yes, lots of people continue to confuse encounters with arrests. Some intentionally for disinformation purposes. But many are truly confused about it. Here's ProPublica last June: “it’s estimated that there is going to be between 1.6 to 1.7 million arrests. The high-water mark was 1.6 million in 2000 for the longest time. When the numbers went up in 2022 and 2023 to 2.2 million.” https://www.propublica.org/article/us-immigration-policy-2024-mexico

Hi -- A terrific article came out yesterday on Kamala's work on immigration as CA AG: "Kamala Harris learned a lesson about the border early in her career. It’s paying off now - As California attorney general, Harris found common cause with law enforcement in cracking down on transnational gangs" - Blake Jones, 08/17/2024 https://politi.co/4fM4TIb I learned a lot! e.g., she had Republican DA's support and police support. Attached are a few paragraphs of article excerpts. Also Kamala is blasted for supporting "sanctuary" cities when in CA. Attached is some messaging with scientific references.

You could look at their profile, if its empty/unnatural looking its a good indicator of an astroturfing account. If they have followers/friends, but those people’s accounts are also empty or fake-looking, that could be another sign. It’s fairly trivial to generate an AI image for a profile photo, but generated images sometimes have errors and discrepancies. Although astroturfing with bot accounts is getting more and more sophisticated, so it could be hard to tell for sure. If someone is acting like a bot, human or not, it’s probably just best to disengage since they are fully absorbed in their own messaging and probably not likely to re-evaluate anything.

Posting to my own account is rather pointless as it's just preaching to the choir...If I cannot comment to amplify the posts of others, I don't even know what good I'm doing other than keeping my own followers engaged in election info. Feels very much like being CENSORED... I really need help figuring out what the heck I'm doing that is causing this...I've been posting to mostly political accounts but have not been posting the same thing every time... I am moving very fast so I slowed down so they wouldn't think I was a bot... I posted pics of cats to my own acct and some jokes so it is more than just politics...i'm out of ideas. Oh!

2024-08-20T15:23:59.786+00:00 by roby [ cosbubs ] avatar

Thank you Dan for your detailed reply. The clarification of the "border czar" monicker is necessary. Working on countering the disinformation on border crossings is paramount. ProPublica confused "border encounters" with "arrests" in a report from last June. Even President Biden, in his speech last night said, “As a result of the executive action I took, border encounters have dropped over 50%. In fact, there are fewer border crossings today than when Donald Trump left office.” Not necessarily misinformation, but confounding “border encounters” with “border crossings.” I have added these examples to the pdf, as well as the following "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. Thanks again. Hope we can counter the disinformation on the issue!

Senator Warnock's speech last night was an important statement of where we should all stand. Not voting isn't a political statement, a third of the eligible population did not vote in 2016 - how did that help our country? Politicians listen to voters.

I agree there were so many uplifting just plain wonderful moments. Hillary's speech, especially the part about telling her grandchildren "I was here!" AOC, of course! I loved the union support, cried at the abortion horror stories and really liked the mayors, so many smart, eloquent and strong women. But, for me, the moments that touched my heart profoundly were when the camera went to Kamala and we could see on her face the emotions she was feeling. She is so real, beautiful outside and inside. And then there was the final moment when she and Joe touched each other and looked at each other and had a private conversation. Whatever the words were we didn't need to hear. It was all again on their faces, the love, the respect, the shared sadness at his going and the joy of her starting.

Thanks so much for these sources. Even after speaking to some of my more conservative friends, they don’t seem to realize the extent of the damage that a lot of his misinformation has caused. Hopefully these sources can possibly help open their minds a bit.

Am always inspired by the young woman who got pregnant by her step-dad at 12 -- and I know she'll be a voice for others who went through her form of hell AND face a greater hell from abortion bans. Got lots of energy from the women on fire- AOC & Hillary. I tweeted in real time during DNC as right wingers posted clips & comments within seconds. I monitor: End Wokeness, MAGA War Room, RNC Research, Trump War Room, Collin Rugg & Heritage Foundation. One post had clips of UAW Pres taking off jacket to reveal Trump Is a Scab & then Hulk Hogan ripping off his shirt at RNC, with the question: "DNC vs RNC. Choose your fighter." I replied "Sure, that's easy, I'll choose the one fighting for workers every day, and not the one who thinks ripping off his shirt makes him a real man." 😎

replying to 2024-08-20T15:23:59.786+00:00 by roby Thank you Dan for your detailed reply. The clarification of the "border czar" monicker is necessary. Working on countering the disinformation on border crossings is paramount. ProPublica confused "border encounters" with "arrests" in a report from last June. Even President Biden, in his speech last night said, “As a result of the executive action I took, border encounters have dropped over 50%. In fact, there are fewer border crossings today than when Donald Trump left office.” Not necessarily misinformation, but confounding “border encounters” with “border crossings.” I have added these examples to the pdf, as well as the following "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. Thanks again. Hope we can counter the disinformation on the issue!

Wow! Your post and pdf are terrific. Thanks!

All of the speakers were amazing! Biden's really got to me. When they were chanting 'We love Joe' they really showed him the love. I bet he's never had that happen in 50 years but now people are paying closer attention to our politics and representatives because we can't have a democracy on autopilot anymore. When he teared up I felt that. Very genuine.

I think a recurring theme/objection we will hear about Harris, is Inflation. I think it is important to put Inflation into perspective. In late 2021, 2022, everyone was expecting a recession. Flash foward to where we are today, it seems the recession has been avoided, and inflation is closer to being in check. Here is a timeline of related events. **2021:** Strong post-pandemic recovery but supply chain disruptions arise. Inflation begins rising, initially seen as "transitory." Fed signals tapering of bond-buying as inflation persists. **2022:** Russia-Ukraine war escalates inflation due to energy and food supply disruptions. Fed and other central banks begin aggressive interest rate hikes. Recession fears grow as yield curve inverts, signaling potential economic slowdown. Mixed economic signals with slowing growth but resilient labor market. **2023:** Recession predictions emerge, but data is mixed; strong labor market persists. Hopes for a "soft landing" increase as inflation eases slightly. Fed moderates rate hikes to avoid a severe recession. Global economic risks continue, but severe recession seems less likely. **2024:** Debate over mild recession vs. economic slowdown continues. Central banks consider pausing rate hikes to balance inflation control and economic stability. Currently seems like we're on track for a "soft landing" Biden: We're going to have a soft landing on inflation https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=468840376115161

Good point. Monthly U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) development 1973-2024 Published by Raynor de Best , Aug 1, 2024 The US dollar index of the summer of 2023 was lower than that of the second half of 2022, although it was still relatively high compared to previous years. The index – often referred to with the code DXY, or USDX – measures the value of the U.S. dollars compared to six other foreign currencies at the same time. These include the euro, the Swiss franc, the Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, the British pound, and the Swedish króna. It originated in 1973, with the arrival of the petrodollar and the dissolution of the Bretton Woods Agreement. As the index has only been updated once – when the euro arrived in 1999 – some argue this composition is not accurate to the current state of the world. The price development of the U.S. dollar affects many things, including commodity prices in general.

So the ice breaker is about favorite moment from last night. New Jersey's moment in the role call. I am originally from NJ so I just love how they did it. Not only the song choice (BRUUCE!) but this quote from Phil Murphy did it for me: "We’re from Jersey, baby – and you’re not! In the great Garden State, we care about protecting women’s rights and lifting up vulnerable communities. That’s what we mean when we say the great Garden State.”

I mean, I did not have President Obama making a veiled size joke on my 2024 bingo card, and you know that Michelle’s speech was everything she’s been holding in for 9+ years. So, the Obamas were my favorite moment

I saw a few amusing Tiktoks that were comparing the RNC and DNC roll call. Basically how the DNC one was so much better.

Pritzker Americans don’t want to be forced to drive 100 miles to deliver a baby because draconian abortion laws shut down the maternity ward. Americans want the hope of giving birth through IVF not the fear it might be taken away. Americans with LGBTQ kids don’t want them facing crimination at school because the state sanctioned it. Americans want to go to their neighborhood grocery store and not have to worry about some random guy open carrying an AR-15.

Pritzker. Americans don’t want their kids to be taught in history class that slavery was a jobs program. And if Americans are Black or brown, they want to get promoted at work without being derided as a DEI hire for the sin of being successful while not White. Let’s be clear, it’s not “woke” that limits economic growth, it’s weird. These guys aren’t just weird, they’re dangerous.

I loved all the speeches!! Laughing again today at Barack's joke about Walz: "I love this guy. Tim’s the kind of person who should be in politics — somebody who was born in a small town, served his country, taught kids, coached football, and took care of his neighbors. He knows who he is and what’s important. You can tell those flannel shirts he wears don’t come from some consultant, they come from his closet, and they’ve been through some stuff." MAGA is going bonkers nuts about the humor, joy & women who laugh. Pushing back on twitter on the notion that Kamala is a secret Nazi because she has a slogan "Strength Through Joy" [not true], which was the name of the Nazi "workers' rights" movement. Our humor & joy is a winning way -- see attached piece by evidence-based messaging guru Anat Shenker-Osorio

Exactly. I explained that private health insurance (which is what they had) negotiate policy terms for what they will pay and who they will pay. Nope, did not listen to a word of that.

I wish more people understood the subsidies through the ACA as well, they don't realize they're getting knocked in the head by employer insurance

From my time online I've found that it can often be important to just accept that the person you're talking to is too far gone. A decent percentage of the online right is at a point where they simply cannot be convinced otherwise. They have thought terminating cliches and memes they use to avoid actually engaging with you. They claim that any evidence against their points is either fake, wrong, or misinterpreted. They've stopped believing the things they do because of logic. And you can't logic someone out of an argument they didn't logic themselves into.

Hi Jim - Several reports are like this one from Newsweek: "Netanyahu's office denied that the call took place. In a statement quoted by The Times of Israel, a spokesperson said: "Contrary to media reports, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not speak yesterday with former President Trump"". Reports are contradictory on what Trump said, if anything. Some say he supported the ceasefire and some say the opposite "Axios cited one source as saying that Trump's alleged call was intended to encourage Netanyahu to take the ceasefire deal that was on the table. However, the unnamed source told the outlet that they did not know what the actual conversation was." People might be referring to what Trump said to Prime Min. in July in FL: end the war fast [but did not mention of the ceasefire] https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-accused-crime-benjamin-netanyahu-call-ceasefire-hamas-1942248

The campaign needs a presence on Spoutible. When I mentioned it during the training yesterday, the trainer had never heard of it. If the campaign wants to disseminate talking points to a receptive audience, it needs to be there.

Re: the clip that has lead to accusations of “stolen valor”: Tim Walz said, “We can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried (as a member of the military) COMMA in war is the only place those weapons are at.” He didn’t say HE CARRIED A WEAPON IN WAR, he said, in war is the only place military weapons should be found. The only thing I’ve heard from the campaign is that Gov. Walz “misspoke.” He didn’t. Republicans are mishearing. PLEASE address this issue, head-on.

It's fair for them to characterize him as misspeaking there because his phrasing does leave room for confusion. But I agree that clarifying what he actually said, and what he meant by that, is important too.

A couple things here (just in general - hopefully this is ok) 1) Try as best you can not to become jaded by the encounters you may have that are negative or even frustrating. There are a lot of bots and spammers out there and the accounts blend pretty well so it may not really even be a US Voter. I've been an online moderator for almost 20 years and in that time you get an eye for bots etc as you will see trends in the "talking points" that get repeated almost verbatim. Also, sometimes its not about that specific person but the potential thousands that may read their comments and never say a word. You may not reach that person, but you could reach someone else that is undecided or reading and sees your well reasoned points or appreciates the tone of your answers. 2) People are influenced quite often by online traffic/trends. So if things seem to flow online in one direction, then people assume that must be right and DJT has managed to control the narrative and direct it where he wants it to go well and to full effect. If you read something enough times, you assume its true and I think he relies on people having zero time to look all this up and trusting on faith. IMHO he is abusing their trust. 3) I find that sometimes asking questions is the best way to go in cases like that. Ask why they feel as they do or for more information on their views. If its a bot, they tend to stop replying or engaging and if its a person then you tend to show interest and the convo may go different and worst case scenario, anyone reading sees you are showing interest/care. That said, always good to know when to say when (I sometimes admit to failing miserably on this so definitely easier said than done) but do the best you can. (PS Also feel free to completely ignore me too. I've never volunteered ever so not an expert on this by any means - just talking from my general work experience.) No matter what, only ever engage anyone as much as you feel comfortable. Its best for your own mental health. (Just as a general rule of online)

Again, speakers last night gave speeches of a lifetime! Loved them! I am focused right now on the Israel-Hamas war & what's happening at DNC. In Michigan, 100,000 voted uncommitted in Feb & many have not committed to vote in Nov. Here is the DNC speech by the parents of hostage Hersh Polin https://x.com/martinlieberman/status/1826411913741226016 In interview today on MSNBC [clip not posted yet], they said the hostage return now depends on the Hamas leader & Bibi. [Kamala was on the call this wk between Biden & Bibi - have not looked at read out] The parents expected a neutral or hostile response from DNC but the love they got moved them to tears. I'll send later my doc on Kamala's positions, & progressives & resisters' responses & some talking points. Here is how the MI Demcast leader responded to DNC sit-in https://x.com/WhitchMI/status/1826456122355585128 Many still affected by AOC's April interview https://www.thewrap.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-aoc-biden-gaza-war/

I've been enjoying the convention so far. The speeches have been good especially Jaime Raskin, AOC, Hilary Clinton and Bill did well too. Of course Michelle and Barak Obama. They're always good speech makers. Biden's was ok and Tim Walz's was very similar to his stump speech so I wished he'd said a few different things but all the same, his was short and sweet. I like the energy and the Roll Call house party is the way to do it going forward

I have been wondering why Trump meeting with Netanyahu and Orban at Mar-A-Lago is not the same violation. Trump is not a member of the government. Is it because it specifically refers to 'influencing disputes'?

I have been so inspired by all the speeches and very impressed with the Content Creators brief messages. I loved Gus and Hope last night. Tim and Gwen and their two kids are what the promise of America really is. They are citizen politicians. Not big money, not Corporate influence, not party darlings - just regular people trying to make the lives of others better.

Can I just report that the dissent that I see online is about a couple of things: 1. Gaza...people think a Palestinian American should be allowed to speak at the convention. 2. Big business...lots of reports that Harris' staff is courting big business including Dimon for Treasury, per some news reports. I don't know how to respond as these are progressives but highly critical. I suspect some of them just want to be angry.

Interesting ... I grew up 9 miles from the largest Muslim community (Dearborn, MI) in the USA and most of them understand the difference to their issues between Trump and Harris. They overwhelming support the latter. To the others I would reinforce that under Trump there was a Muslim ban and he unequivacally supports the thug Netanyahu (birds of a feather). Under Harris you have a path to persue your cause.

Here is an excerpt from an August 7 PBS interview with the Mayor of Dearborn, MI Amna Nawaz: Mr. Mayor, as you have seen, amid all the discontent, the frustration with the Biden administration's policy in Israel and towards Gaza, we have seen the Trump team conducting a lot of outreach in Michigan. We know his former Cabinet official Richard Grenell, for example, has been on the ground and others. Is any of that outreach working? Is there an opportunity there for the Trump/Vance ticket? Abdullah Hammoud: (mayor of Dearborn MI) There is no opportunity whatsoever. They have certainly reached out to some members, but the individuals they have spoken with don't represent or speak on behalf of the community in any regard. I can tell you that nobody who I have spoken with, even some of the conservative constituents that I represent, have also expressed great disdain for the Trump/Vance ticket, because they understand what a Trump presidency represents. This is an individual who is vocal about wanting to bring back a Muslim ban in new fashion and new order. This is the president who moved the embassy to Jerusalem, who eliminated all humanitarian aid relief toward Palestinians in the budget that he passed during his time. This is somebody that recognized the annexation of the Golan Heights and the annexation of illegal settlements. This is somebody that armed Saudi Arabia that killed 30,000 people in Yemen. And so we very much understand what Trump represents as a president and that is not something anybody wants to see this November.

Some of the protestors are not and will likely never be democrats, and are instead part of the ‘far left’ (for lack of a better term). Though it is a very small and splintered segment of people, there are people who identify as various kinds of socialists and communists and who cluster in various overlapping ways around political parties like the Worker’s World Party, but also the Democratic Socialists of America. These groups are extremely rigid, and to remain in them one has to adhere to certain positions. AOC, for example, was backed by the DSA, who have now washed their hands of her (in a dumb move on their part) because she wouldn’t refer to the situation in Gaza as ‘genocide’. I’ll only comment now specifically to the WWP and that mentality because I used to affiliate with them in 2002-2003 when I lived in DC. The WWP uses hot-button issues like Gaza to recruit activists and then proceeds to radicalize the activists around a revolutionary socialist agenda. In my day they used the War in Iraq and those huge rallies we had to try and prevent the war were organized in part by the activist front groups of the WWP. Not that a large percentage of the people protesting knew that or would have cared. We were all sincerely against the war. Just… the difference between liberal democratic resistance and the far left resistance to the War in Iraq was one of persuading people to start voting democratic and support anti-war democratic candidates in primaries and generals. In the far left circles I used to move in, we saw both political parties as faces of capitalism and the main goal was to work to overthrow capitalism and use anti-war sentiment to radicalize people for that purpose. It sounds way out there. But it’s true. We had public activist meetings where leaders from the WWP regularly spoke and over time slowly amped up the anti-capitalist rhetoric. Meanwhile, behind the scenes for folks like me who were already essentially old school communists, we had reading groups and read things like *The State and Revolution* by Lenin, or stuff from Trotsky, and we’d strategize around the longer term goal of anti-capitalism. The WWP is still around and one can go to their website. They are doing the same thing with Gaza that they did with the Iraq War. Many protesters, I assume, are not ‘hard left’ like this, and those who aren’t will, I strongly suspect, will come home. Those who are hard left kinda need to be dealt with the same one would engage MAGAists… For me… I ‘left’ the Democratic party in the late 90s, but then I came back in 2008, then truly came back (changed my registration from I to D) in 2016. Obama, then Bernie + the Clinton general election campaign brought me back. In short. Don’t sweat the pro-palestinian protestors. I hope Harris/Walz address it, but I trust their judgment.

I suspect I am bumping into some of the far left "anti-capitalist/socialist/communist" folks online. Engaging with them is not recommended. But they are the most vocal in many online communities. I hope the campaign finds a way to acknowledge those who are sincere about the issue. The people who honestly care just want to be seen.

Thanks Dan ... for people who are not engaged but bring this up, I use the short response I gave to CarolC. Michigan has come a long way -- so proud! We have to stay postive and emphasize the common sense, decency, and dignity route to solving our problems. I feel so good about our future if Harris and Walz wins. We can accomplish anything if we do it together. Unfortunely there will always be those we can't reach, but they are getting fewer and fewer with Harris/Walz!

I’m glad to be back. In 2008 I donated for the first time to political campaigns (Obama and several senate campaigns plus the DCCC). Bernie’s first primary run and everything after convinced me that there was room for Western European style democratic socialism in the democratic party (so like what our center left and left leaning parties are like here in the Netherlands). So I changed my registration so I can participate in Democratic primaries. This is the first campaign where I’m volunteering too. It won’t be a lot of time I can give, but I’m giving some—and gladly!

On the topic of "stolen valor"-- can we get an infographic with Trump's quote from his Asheboro rally: Talking about his plan to create the largest peacetime Recruitment and Retention drive: "We're gonna make it so hot that I'm gonna want to resign and join the military. I don't know what rank I'd start at. I guess I'd start at Private. I don't know. What rank would I have to start at General? I have to start pretty low. He said you'll start at the top. All right then I'll stay in. That's very good."

Hi Caroline - Thanks for the full interview! A part of it shows how empathy & support for resisters helps to bring them on board, as the mayor said: "it was the first time in a long time that me and the community felt an individual such as the vice president humanized Palestinians, recognized the suffering and even brought forth that Palestinians deserve the right to self-determination. And then, most recently, as we have also seen with her V.P. pick with . . . this is a governor who may be the only governor in the country who when the uncommitted vote sprung up in his state as well, he congratulated the uncommitted voters. . . .And he recognized the situation in Gaza is intolerable, that the party should be listening & . . . that we should course-correct . . " Your message to activists is very positive & reassuring -- I want to keep reaching out. Am concerned that if 20,000 of the 100,000 stay home, which is progress, it could still make Trump president. So I start with deep empathy & our common ground with resisters -- 'My heart breaks also at the deaths of Palestinians & the destruction of Gaza. I fear every day I'll see more bodies, men, women and babies. I have deep, deep anger & sadness that I also sense in you. I hope every day our demands for a ceasefire & humanitarian aid are met - NOW. War crimes have been committed by Israel from the start. I want to keep my power with a president I can influence so I'll vote for Kamala - with her, we will live in democracy, not dictatorship" I know people who've gone from not voting to a vote for Harris by listening to AOC : “I would rather, even in places of stark disagreement, I would rather be organizing under the conditions of Biden as an opponent on an issue than Trump, who is not… he seeks to dismantle American democracy.” Under Trump "we will not be able to organize for any movement towards anything if we are facing the jailing of dissidents.

Hello my fellow online engagers! Been building my repertoire of Facebook groups, trying to observe how they operate and what sort of engagement would be the best for that particular group! Don't want to overwhelm myself or others, and also stay on topic as to not get kicked. Worked on a community map, to narrow in where I think I would garner the most support. As always, trying to educate about where we're standing in history and combat misinformation across apps. So excited to join in on night 4 of the DNC tonight, I CANNOT wait to hear what VP Kamala Harris has to say, and I hear rumors of a surprise guest celebrity appearance!

replying to 2024-08-22T18:08:14.241+00:00 by Mike - (NE/Abroad) I’m glad to be back. In 2008 I donated for the first time to political campaigns (Obama and several senate campaigns plus the DCCC). Bernie’s first primary run and everything after convinced me that there was room for Western European style democratic socialism in the democratic party (so like what our center left and left leaning parties are like here in the Netherlands). So I changed my registration so I can participate in Democratic primaries. This is the first campaign where I’m volunteering too. It won’t be a lot of time I can give, but I’m giving some—and gladly!

I lived in Switzerland for 4 years. So I personally understand what you are talking about. I was in Basel when Obama won his first term. I was interviewed and featured in a Swiss newspaper with my prediction that Obama would win! 🙂 Living over there was eye-opener. We could learn a lot from them.

I'm looking around examples of other groups I am in and I might just ask ChatGPT to help me draft it as well, but does anyone have any "must haves" that they might have included in their own groups that have been beneficial in creating a respectful and enjoyable FB space?

Surprise guest? -- I am almost positive this is a rumor: Beyonce' comes out to sing "Freedom", then Taylor Swift ziplines from the rafters to join her. After their endorsements we can stop our work 😎 So much for us to be joyous about, I guess we don't have to delve into such fantasies . . . 😎

Hi Malik - First, it's difficult for any president to influence inflation, and a major underlying factor - gas prices. [this is not effective message], second Biden/Harris have done a LOT to control inflation-- and the rate of inflation is down last few month & wages have grown at a higher rate for a while. In the attached see how investment in child & elder care reduce inflation. Third, Kamala will go a step further than Biden for example to fight corporate greed that is a major inflation driver. See the summary of her recent speech -- she will have more detailed plans soon https://www.epi.org/blog/debunking-5-top-inflation-myths/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/16/us/politics/kamala-harris-economy.html

Bill Clinton said last night that since 1989, 50 million jobs have been created, 49 million under Democratic presidents. He said he could not believe it so he fact-checked 3 times. Here is a fact-check article & charts from it. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/mar/21/simon-rosenberg/have-96-of-jobs-created-over-35-years-emerged-unde/

Esp with how presumed rent factors into CPI (and thus inflation), some supply side subsidization that breaks rental cost upticks should make the top line numbers (as well as peoples' subjective experience!) a lot better.

Tying highway funding to New home construction (esp. homes near public transit) would be one way the fed could force the states into some action there, tho. But also -- any tax breaks available at the federal level are still valid incentives.

Many ads are distributed only in swing states, so their voters see ads first. If you're on the campaign's email list though, their emails are linking ads that aren't public on YouTube (I don't know why they're not public and not on Reach.)

My state's channel was unaware there was even a FB Group, which is why we went ahead and created one without knowing there was already a group made. But I guess what I had in mind was having a big IN group, separate chats for counties, and then the party or precinct people could coordinate with nearby towns or counties in those chats or the big group overall in case they wanted to do joint events for something. Or gather students to volunteer on college campuses. Do you know if they do similar things for your state's FB group(s)?

Hi - I check with YouTube to see if speeches are there. If I want clips I use Realplayer or other software. If the speech is on C-Span they have a clipping feature. For rural voters there is none better than Tim Walz -- the coach who worked on grandparents farm in summer. Go beyond his speeches to include photos like the one in tee shirt holding a pig & the video of him with daughter at state fair. Short policy statements can be added. I found Gov Shapiro''s full speech in seconds and guess others will be there too May your work be filled with joy & laughter .https://youtu.be/HZRXjOBeJIA

Just letting you know, we're getting through! Had a 78yr old life long Republican tell me he's been watching the DNC convention and he's now voting for Harris 😊😊😊 He said it was the "Mind your own D@## business" that convinced him. 'That used to be my party.' This is in Kansas.

What I am doing to help Kamala get elected: 1) door to door canvassing in specific towns in my state legislative district, collaborating with Andy Kim’s Senate campaign and Joe Salerno’s House campaign to elect Dems up and down the ballot. Tonight I’m doing a deep canvass phone bank to swing state voters with People Power United. And helping people to register or get their registrations updated.

I'm Gen X and I haven't felt this amount of hopefulness since Obama...and back then it wasn't even nearly as dark. The contrast between 2008 and how Bush handled the transition of power vs J6. That contrast makes the choice for Harris and Walz shines even brighter.

Yesterday, Trump invited the loved ones of murder victims to speak out near the border. He's in AZ and NV today, probably with similar message. Here is a version of a reply I sent last night with the best studies I could find. "Murders by undocumented immigrants are heartbreaking tragedies. Victims’ loved ones need much support & perpetrators must be held accountable. Fortunately, such murders are very rare & undocumented persons murder at a lower rate than those born in the U.S. Also, immigration is not tied to terrorism. A study of all 50 states found that an increase in undocumented immigration over 14 years was NOT linked to terrorist attacks, radicalization, or terrorism prosecutions." https://bit.ly/4diXQ7H https://bit.ly/3WGnKf7 https://bit.ly/3U5eC3g

Hello all! A little about myself: I learned how to work the Twitter algorithm this year and I currently run a Twitter account with 16m impressions. I spend most of my day on Twitter while I work my full time job and go to school full time as well for Sociology. I attempt to use compassion and tact to pacify the verbal violence I encounter and my ultimate goal is to decrease the toxicity from the gaming community that led me down this path. MAGA abuse is my focus currently. If anybody needs any Twitter tips, feel free to message~

He demonizes migrants because of his stupidity. 45 thinks that people “seeking asylum” are coming here from other country’s “insane asylums”. He is THAT vapid, to not know the difference. It is why he tells the Hannibal Lecter story. He is equating cannibalism and insane people from “asylums”.

There's so much to unpack here. Also, to use illegals as a reason for the issues today is just a modern day form of scapegoating if anyone thinks about it. Another thing to think about is this: In a lot of cities, violent crime is going down. For instance, I saw a report on the local news here that said that homiacides in Philadelphia have decreased in the last year. What was that thing four years ago about "bad things happening" in Philadelphia that Trump said about? UGH!

Hi DJ - "illegal human being" --yes, not your grandfather & not anyone else! Amen! Sad to hear yuou had a Trumper go ballistic on you [and congratulations on going 20 minutes 😎 ] Glad to see this discussion on migrants.

MAGA also bash "sanctuary cities". Here is one way I have posted on them: "SANCTUARY CITIES ARE SAFE Trump continues to rail against “sanctuary cities.” His Agenda 47 will block federal grants to them. Yet, “sanctuary communities” are as safe as other communities, with no difference in rates of violent crime, rape, or property crime. They are likely to decrease crime because immigrant victims are much more willing to call the police. They do NOT shield immigrants from deportation. Murders by undocumented immigrants are heartbreaking tragedies but, fortunately, are rare.

But I guess what I had in mind was having a big IN group, separate chats for counties, and then the party or precinct people could coordinate with nearby towns or counties in those chats or the big group overall in case they wanted to do joint events for something. Or gather students to volunteer on college campuses. Do you know if they do similar things for your state's FB group(s)?

No, that's not possible on social media platforms. But some county parties have their own FB groups.

My parents immigrated to America from Vietnam, and then they had me. They sacrificed everything that they had to give me a better life and I couldn’t have been more thankful for them. They have worked super hard to achieve the American dream, have always paid their taxes and contributed to society in other ways. America is called a melting pot for a reason; whether you’re white, black, Asian, etc… we are all human beings who just deserve to live in a country where we can be free to be ourselves with no hatred.

When Trump was elected, I used photos of families coming north to US as a way to humanize them -- I sent them to Ivanka thinking she'd have more sympathy -- can't find those photos but am sure you all can find some good ones -- in the following message I try to humanize immigrants & describe Kamala's role: "Contrary to reports that Kamala Harris was in charge of border enforcement, she was assigned to work with 3 Central American countries, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, to reduce the underlying causes of migration to the U.S. She built on her experience as a DA and Attorney General in California, where she worked closely with CA police & prosecutors & their Mexican counterparts to bring drug smugglers & human traffickers to justice.

"Sure and I have swampland in New Jersey" always works for me but that's because I'm a Jersey girl by birth. For anyone else, I'd point out how Trump has had people connected to him who are a part of the group that authored it and how his Agenda 47 has a lot of what Project 2025 does. Also this photo is proof that Trump may claim to back down but he still has his fingerprints all over it. He's in this photo with the president of The Heritage Foundation which are the authors of Project 2025.

dont know if you've solved this but its also good to point out that trump is a habitual liar, and willing to continually do so if it gets him an electoral victory. he lied about stormy daniels, he lied about his father being arrested at a kkk rally, etc. he will do whatever it takes to get back into office. CNN has identified at least 140 former advisers from the Trump administration who are involved with Project 2025, including six of his former cabinet secretaries, 4 appointed ambassadors, and his chief of staff. these are the people trump has worked with and is working with for his presidency. what he says has little value over what he does.

One suggestion I havent see here yet is to tell people what our candidate, in particular, has to offer as a solution. Just saying that the other guy is worse is not a compelling argument for a lot of people and does not communicate to people what your candidates ideas actually are, just not what they are not.

There is ONE thing she can do, if President herself. Call off arms shipment. I... do not think she can announce that now, even if she plans on doing it. (Even if it's good idea overall what with Israeli enemies in the region like Iran/Egypt/Saudi Arabia who want Israel gone for longstanding reasons).

Agreed, that would be my response… I’m sorry I did not make it clear. 😬. “an abusive father would never receive the love and admiration from his special needs child that Coach Walz received from Gus during his speech, that child would always be in fear and would only cower.” I like what you said and think it would be great to add to that. “What I saw was a father, now after that speech, who realizes he has to protect his son from the media at all costs.”

Absolutely. We won't get them all. Don't be disheartened folks. I love my palestinian friends and wish for the best of the region. There will be some folks who sit this election out. Maybe even in key areas, but remember - basically 1/3rd of America didn't vote last election. Many many millions of those are in the center. To go to the left, we lose them completely. And for... sadly, sadly, a .05% of our population.

It takes forever just to simply scroll through the videos and watch them! Maybe I'll just start downloading them all and watch them once downloaded lol. Fingers crossed this is because an unprecedented number of people are getting involved and not because of bad app design 🤞

Yeah that’s what I do… just download. I go in a couple-3 times a day and see if anything new to share, download it to my asset folder for use at some point and then go back to sharing. It just takes too much time not have it readily available if you are in a thread or conversation and have the opportunity to share it on the spot.

also: BEACUSE she met with him she's being labeled a zionist a murderer a genocider, etc. Uncommitted really needs to take a step back and study Civil Rights history and strategies because what they brought to the DNC such as ultimatums they're not in a position to make, aren't going to help Palestinians.

I'm super late to the the Palestine conversation. I just wanted to throw in a vaguely educated response to why things are the way they are. Hi. I'm Evren. I have a master's degree in international affairs (foreign policy) from Pitt. I am NOT a middle east expert by any stretch, but I do know a few relevant things that people need to keep in mind. 1. Foreign relationships are very complicated (as someone else said). We have treaties, agreements, and obligations that we have to honor unless we meet very VERY strict guidelines for doing otherwise. 2. We have military bases in Israel. We will not just abandon them. This is a strategic ally when dealing with the Middle East. Be aware: Caliphates are not prone to human rights. At all. It is not a bad thing to keep an eye on things. Look up the Ottoman Empire. Muslims have overrun Europe before. DO NOT assume they are all keen to just keep to themselves. 3. Mind you, they also kill LGBT folk in their own countries and even young adults that marry against their parents' wishes (honor killings). Muslims here are not the same as Muslims there in all cases (not trying to vilify "all" anyone, just this liberal bias towards Muslim protection will not be afforded to you necessarily). 4. Civilian damage should absolutely be minimized in any war. There is no excuse for what BeBe has done here. He saw this as the perfect opportunity to wipe Palestinians out. He's a garbage extremist and so is some of his cabinet. We have to try to get a ceasefire deal. Period. 5. We are not able to "remove him" or take over. That is not however the world works. We cannot declare war or any such nonsense. Whether or not anyone thinks Israel should exist, it does (I am not a zionist, but I accept that this is where we are). We have to deal with it now as it is.

replying to 2024-08-24T04:32:39.086+00:00 by Exi Conundrum Agree. There is no one phone call. There is only days, weeks, months at a negiotiation table

speaking of online-engagement, I was SO frustrated with Uncommitted at the DNC. So many missteps. And online, especially TikTok, things exploded when MVP stared down the hecklers. I was going to say protesters, but that was just straight-up heckling. Next time, they'll know.

Well put Thomas! I tried making that point a couple days ago [8-22 3:09 PM] - As you probably know, messaging gurus, such as those who teach deep canvassing, say we need to start with empathy & a search for common ground - there's a great video of David Hogg going to a gun range & how he built a relationship with a gun owner. Here is part of what I wrote: I want to keep reaching out. Am concerned that if 20,000 of the 100,000 stay home [in MI], which is progress, it could still make Trump president. So I start with deep empathy & our common ground with resisters -- 'My heart breaks also at the deaths of Palestinians & the destruction of Gaza. I fear every day I'll see more bodies, men, women and babies. I have deep, deep anger & sadness that I also sense in you. I hope every day our demands for a ceasefire & humanitarian aid are met - NOW. War crimes have been committed by Israel from the start. I want to keep my power with a president I can influence so I'll vote for Kamala - with her, we will live in democracy, not dictatorship"

replying to 2024-08-24T05:03:26.878+00:00 by Dan S Hi Zuny -- here is the MSNBC interview with Ruwa Romman. She says she does not know why she was not allowed to speak. The speech did not call for an arms embargo & did not use the term "genocide". It included an endorsement of Harris. From what I know so far, really too bad she could not give the speech. https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/palestinian-american-lawmaker-denied-opportunity-to-speak-at-dnc-shares-what-she-would-ve-said-217900101846

That's funny! I will ask that too. But I am also asking what will their life look like when Cheeto Jesus(I say Trump while talking to voters) makes drastic cuts to social security and takes away their healthcare and eliminates the ability to get overtime pay. The impact to their quaity of life will be massive. That is waking a lot of people up out of the trance. I'll never forget the teacher in Wisconsin who was intererviewed after Scott Walker took away the right to collective bargaining for public workers. She was a religious fundamentalist who had voted on only one issue - abortion. She did not consider that she would lose the only pathway for wage increases and wage equality and her bottom line was, in the end, the most important issue to her. Many people will be poorer if Trump wins.

Glad there was a good discussion but we must focus on the fact that there are only Muslim bans and solidarity with Netanyahu on the Republican side -- Obeidallah, Mehdi and Velshi all agree that the choice is clear that we must elect Kamala and now let's pour 100% of our energy into getting that done.

At first, this may sound far fetched, but how about consulting primary sources? You don't have to believe what someone wrote about Kamala's speech--go listen to the speech yourself on YouTube. Want to know what Congress is up to? Look at current legislative activities at congress.gov . Election results are published online by each Town Clerk (or at least they are in MA). Etc. Etc. I realize this isn't always a practical strategy, but if there's an issue you care about, you can usually find a primary source.

I feel like it's easier to find like-mindeds on Twitter because you can search by hashtag etc. but IG I basically find myself clicking on the comments and following accounts that seem Dem-leaning.

I hope when Kamala Harris gives her first sit down interview it isn't with someone like Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, Jim Acosta, Lester Holt, George Stephanopolous. These people all participated in attacking President Biden CONSTANTLY for weeks. While they gave Dumpty Trumpty a total pass for all his lies & complete insanity! They give him free media, just like they did in 2016, to rant. Whatever these things are they ARE NOT press conferences or interviews! If Trump gets back in it's going to be because our mainstream media treated him as if he's just a normal candidate when they KNOW he is not! I would like to recommend that she do her first sit down interview with Ben Meisalas of the MeidasTouch Network. Almost 3 million people now subscribe to that channel & that's where we get our news. It is NOT a Democrat or Republican or left or right wing outlet. MeidasTouch is THE PRO-DEMOCRACY NETWORK! I'm quite sure Ben would do a fair, respectful interview. He has interviewed President Biden in the recent past. Our media needs to learn that until they start being fair & reporting the ABSOLUTE TRUTH (which includes NOT allowing other to use their platform to spread lies & propaganda) they certainly don't DESERVE to be rewarded with interviews or press conferences that they DEMAND! I know she doesn't need my advice but I think when she sits down to talk it should be with someone who actually cares about the truth & being fair.

At the least she should maybe consider doing one with them. (MeidasTouch) The one Biden did with them went well I felt.

replying to 2024-08-25T06:23:26.611+00:00 by MyKidsHavePaws I hope when Kamala Harris gives her first sit down interview it isn't with someone like Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, Jim Acosta, Lester Holt, George Stephanopolous. These people all participated in attacking President Biden CONSTANTLY for weeks. While they gave Dumpty Trumpty a total pass for all his lies & complete insanity! They give him free media, just like they did in 2016, to rant. Whatever these things are they ARE NOT press conferences or interviews! If Trump gets back in it's going to be because our mainstream media treated him as if he's just a normal candidate when they KNOW he is not! I would like to recommend that she do her first sit down interview with Ben Meisalas of the MeidasTouch Network. Almost 3 million people now subscribe to that channel & that's where we get our news. It is NOT a Democrat or Republican or left or right wing outlet. MeidasTouch is THE PRO-DEMOCRACY NETWORK! I'm quite sure Ben would do a fair, respectful interview. He has interviewed President Biden in the recent past. Our media needs to learn that until they start being fair & reporting the ABSOLUTE TRUTH (which includes NOT allowing other to use their platform to spread lies & propaganda) they certainly don't DESERVE to be rewarded with interviews or press conferences that they DEMAND! I know she doesn't need my advice but I think when she sits down to talk it should be with someone who actually cares about the truth & being fair. MeidasTouch doesn't say they are "fair & balanced" lol, they simply say "MeidasTouch because the TRUTH is GOLDEN!" I hope someone on her campaign sees this. Thanks.

I agree that mainstream media does not call out lies and outright crap spewed by Agent Orange; however, pissing them off doesn't improve the situation, Kamala and her team will decide what to do. She's one clever politician. In the meantime, forget about that and get to your peeps to engage this campaign and to vote. We win with our vote and we don't have time wasting energy on the opposition and their stupidity.

We have never been stronger divided. It takes us all together working as one. The goals of the other side have always been to drive us apart. I could have never expected to spark such an amazing respond to this difficult subject for us all to bear. You have all been amazing in helping me understand so much more clearly. I do apologize for my internet speed. I do try my very best to keep up. From what I understand, Ruwa Romman was not the only speaker that was cut from the timeline. Thank you. I think they overbooked because no one could possibly anticipate the incredible response the Harris Walz team would bring. But it is just one small opinion. Thank you, so much for your help. 💙

Hi Dillon - I'm glad you are focusing on this topic. 700,000 voted "uncommitted" in primaries in MI WI MN PA & other states. Biden won by only 43,000 votes in 3 states. I am preparing a document that has Kamala's positions, the voices of uncommitted resisters & the words of progressives that can help open dialogue. Kamala and Joe have worked together on the ceasefire, hostage release & humanitarian aid. She has some daylight from but not much - she callled for ceasefire a little earlier for example & she's had more dialogue with resisters. Resisters liked her call for Palestinian self-determination in DNC speech but understandably did not like her referencing sexual assault of Israelis but not Gazans. She gives MUCH more policy detail in her 8-25 statement -- I posted on this channel. Most resisters are long-time Democrats who know very well the threat of Trump & reminders may not help & may be insulting [see CNN focus gp with uncommitted]. I will not create words to point out the down side of 1 issue voting but use the words of AOC [see my earlier post of her video], Bernie Sanders & others. Dialogue obviously works. A prime example - Kamala's conversion with the Dearborn mayor won him over. The refusal to have a vetted Palestinian speaker at the DNC who would have endorsed Kamala, may have cost Kamala tens of thousands of votes or more, e.g. Muslim Women for Kamala disbanded & will no longer back her. I suggest Kamala try hard to repair the damage- perhaps a major national event with Ruwa Romman giving her speech, hearing from the Dearborn mayor etc. -- basically for her to say what she did to protesters in AZ - I hear you and I see you.

He did some worthwhile environmental work early in his career and some young people are drawn to him for that reason. He has a lot to say about children’s health and many parents may not be able to sort fact from falsehoods. Here are some fact-check articles and a John Oliver video to help you spread the facts and debunk the myths.

I’m going to be honest and say when it comes to the Israel and Palestine stuff in my experience I’ve found that most of the time it’s either someone you can reason with pretty quickly into understanding or someone who will immediately jump to bad faith arguments and name calling to shut the discussion down because they have their belief and they *wont* listen to others on it. It sucks, but in the last couple of weeks it’s basically come to not being worth my energy to bring it up unless the other person genuinely wants to have an actual discussion on it.

I do think that a lot of the issue right now is figuring out how to get people to step outside the “comfort zone” of watching this from the media sources that offer commentary or frame it how they want you to see things. When you watch her speeches without any added flavor she does an impressive job of selling herself, it’s just up to us to get that through to people and so far it’s been working in our favor.

replying to 2024-08-25T21:29:09.533+00:00 by Noelle (IN) Is anyone else noticing an influx of trolls lately, especially on Reddit and TT? Weird profiles, lots of promotion of leftist infighting, usually with some sort of anti Ukraine rhetoric? More than normal?

This is happening on YouTube as well. Some of it seems to be actual MAGA and some of it is almost certainly bots (just judging from account history/timelines/etc., some common grammar mistakes, no profile pic, etc.) So I'd guess there is some kind of hybrid campaign going on (especially with the Ukraine offensive happening) by Russian assets to both provoke people into stating specific misinformation and stoke leftist infighting. On YouTube they are targeting anything that comes up in the "In the News" section, so I'd be curious as to the contours of the targets on TT and reddit, if you have any sense of it. I've been reporting accounts a lot but other than that the only thing I could think to do is apply some kind of counter resources. Kind of difficult to do, though. Report, amplify the people fighting back, respond quickly if you can, note where it was, a general sense of what was said, and how much there was. We might be able to get some investigative journalist on it as election interference stuff but I'm not sure how that would go trying to get Google to cooperate (a nonstarter with TT and reddit, I would imagine)

It is definitely similar to stuff I saw back during 2016 with wikileaks and emailgate or whatever, but they don't have a viral story (yet).

2024-08-26T00:27:31.545+00:00 by Noelle (IN) [ didntfalloutofacoconuttree ] avatar

That's the only thing we can do! We want to focus on those that can be persuaded or informed, not those who center on negativity.

It's extremely similar to what I experienced in 2016, but with even more of a focus on leftist infighting than pro MAGA. "Vote third party" "democrats bad!! Jill Stein 4 President" type of rhetoric. I see it across every state subreddit I checked, especially when those subreddits allow for partisan conversation. I also see this infighting promotion a lot in comment sections of people who I follow who talk a lot about American politics, particularly women and gender non conforming people along with men of color. I see more pro MAGA stuff in comment sections on white men's posts. It's also quite noticeable when you come across someone who's an uncommitted voter. It's about 85% trolls when I start clicking on profiles, a really low number of profiles that seem genuine. Many don't have bios, or they have some weird profile picture and name, along with some other distinctive tells.

If it’s your personal page you don’t have to tolerate and allow misinformation, put a notice up that you will block and delete hateful rhetoric, misinformation disinformation but healthy respectful debate is welcome. And moderate it

When it comes to someone who is arguing in bad faith, or being aggressive, it's best to just tell them to have a nice day, or ghost them. We only have so much energy as individuals and it's better to spend our energy on people who want to be persuaded or informed than people who don't want it. I know it's not always easy to tell right up front, but when you feel like you're not getting anywhere, it's best to move on to someone who wants to hear the message. Best of luck to you friend!

I’ve had so much luck just using the DNC speeches from day four to push undecideds that generally lean towards biting their lip and voting republican to see that there is a lot of common ground. It’s been equally helpful to just side by side a trump speech next to bits from the DNC. Got one trump leaning voter to just watch it and he’s now in undecided territory strictly from the point that trump just…*rambles* for an hour or two and yells at people

I've noticed that mentioning that Trump will be worse for Palestine doesn't resonate with the uncommitted, since from their perspective it can't get any worse, on top of the fact that the damage is happening right now. I think another way to go about it is emphasizing the need to not sabotage one's own capacity to advocate for them. If Harris wins, those protesting for Palestine will still be fighting for them. If Trump wins, they won't. They'll be too busy fighting for their own survival here to dedicate any time or resources to what's going on there.

Hi this is actually really odd for me to be involved in a campaign because I’m REALLY far left most of the time. The main drive behind this is that back in November an overarching feeling of accelerationist thinking kinda took hold in a lot of leftist circles of “if both parties suck on the response to this then screw it nobody should be in charge” which I noticed gave a pretty big opening for some extremely divisive ideas to take hold. Personally, Palestine and Israel is a topic I rarely touch because I agree with a lot of what is being said but I’m also realistic enough to know that not voting and handing the keys to a lunatic who would rather see the Middle East a new parking lot and me dead is…unhelpful for everyone. So I’m here now. lol.

2024-08-26T00:55:53.852+00:00 by Jaye (OR) [ .missterious ] avatar

Well said and it’s a point I try to make with some of my friends that at least in November you’ll still have something to protest if Harris gets elected.

How quickly people who were otherwise on the left reached for anti-Semitic rhetoric and started chanting “from the River to the Sea” when it suited them just proves why the nation of Israel needs to exist. Every side of a political aisle will have anti-Semites. It was true from the days of the Crusades to the fifties until now. Kamala’s position— Israel has a right to defend itself, but it needs to knock it off with the collateral damage to civilians — is a *balanced and reasonable* take. “Palestinians are Islamic and therefore enemies to our way of life” is *not.*

2024-08-26T01:22:25.867+00:00 by Revka-Ordo [ revka_ordo ] avatar

People who can’t see a difference between Kamala and Trump when it comes to the fate of Palestine need their eyes checked.

being in a lot of full on leftist spaces is weird because you get some reasonable people like this and then you have anti-electorist tankies who basically say to not vote because "both sides are the same" like yeah both sides serve the same capitalist system that is legitimately harming a lot of people, but on the other hand one side is calling queer people like me groomers and p*dos so i dont want them in power

Sometimes it seems there is a central Source Control/GitHub/SVN repository used to rapidly iterate on messaging and imagery. That way, folks attached to it can update from it at least daily, and march back into the fray. Setting something like that up isn't too labor intensive for someone who is relatively technology-savvy (i.e. one person can do the set up); it gets hectic in terms of change management for an organization of any size to ensure message consistency.

104 years ago today, the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote was certified by the US Secretary of State at 4am after receiving confirmation that Tennessee had become the 36th state to ratify the amendment. The 19th Amendment had passed the Tennessee House 50-48 when 24-year-old Republican Harry Burn changed his vote after receiving a note from his mother. That note, charted the course of history for women’s rights all the way up to this present day. The fundamental rights written in the Constitution, was not a given for women. Our ancestors, even as close as our Great-Grandparents were the champions of change that allowed us to have the liberties we do today. Fight for women everywhere. Fight for the future ones & the courage of those in the past. #WereNotGoingBack

One of my all time favorite ways to unwind is to go to see indi music played at an indi music hall, because it's so intimate, it forces you to unplug from the external pressures we suffer from during the week, and reconnect to friends we haven't been able to really spend time with while working!

"The ratification deadlines that Congress set after it approved the amendment have lapsed, and five states have acted to rescind their prior approval. These raise important questions, and now it is up to Congress, the courts, and the American people to resolve them."

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.

There is a lot of video content on Reach. Also, I keep my eye on <#1252676126698897429> , where the campaign posts tons of video, including of the other side saying ridiculous things.

Colten from the Online Engagement Team suggested I post here. I wrote a comment on the New Yorker Facebook page a couple of mornings ago about how my life mirrored JD Vance’s, but I became a Democrat, and why. Even though it’s a long comment, so far, it has received 545 positive reactions and lots of amazing comments. I am going to turn it into an essay, but want to make it and my story available to the campaign. I just need guidance as to what to do.

(Colten is staff, and I'm not.) I suggest joining [Republicans For Harris](http://bit.ly/RepublicansForHarris). It's an official coalition of the campaign, and most are no longer registered Republicans. You can contribute to its story bank, which it'll share to encourage others that it's ok to abandon the GOP.

<@791857656897732648> my story (part 1): J.D. Vance’s life story, as told in “Hillbilly Elegy,” resonated with me when I first read it. I was a product of generational poverty, with deep roots in the Deep South. I was a teenage mom, kicked out of high school, surrounded by all the social ills described by Vance. I was regularly told, by family, acquaintances, and society, that I would never, and could never, amount to anything. I almost believed it, but not quite. While still a teenager, I created a plan of escape. I started spending time with people who lived stable lives full of purpose. I earned my GED. I went to community college, where I became Student Senate President. I worked tirelessly to improve conditions for the 40,000 students I served. I did this while also a full-time mama, a full-time honors student and mama, and working part-time.

<@791857656897732648> (part 2) I then earned a spot at one of the country’s “Public Ivy’s,” UW-Madison. After 12 years as a full-time college student, I graduated with a bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D. For the next 15 years, I worked in higher education, helping students like myself get the education they needed to create the lives they wanted. Unlike Vance, that journey I took from a girl preoccupied with day-to-day survival, to the young woman who found power and purpose in serving, to the woman I am now, determined to do what is best for my country and ALL its people, ensured I became a Democrat. Perhaps the difference is Vance is a lawyer, while I am a social scientist. Being a woman, and thus, the target of antiquated and misogynistic attitudes like Vance’s, also helped. I know that every American, regardless of the circumstances of their birth, deserves a comfortable, secure, fulfilling life, and they can achieve it with hard work, support, respect, and HOPE. That is what the Democratic Party is all about. We are the party that rewards hard work, not inherited wealth. We support education and jobs that enable all Americans to create the life they want. We respect the choices our neighbors make- what they read, who they love, how they identify themselves, and what they do with their own bodies. The Democratic Party is the party of hope, because we are the party for all who believe in a good, loving, fair, and just America. We got your back. Now let’s win this thing, together!

@0nline-engagement, well I have post some on FB, to see what reactions there so far, it at least 50%, with negative reply’s, even though I put it out about as and Medicare cuts most said it’s a lie, one asked me where I got that from trump himself and project 2025. Most said it was lie by the democrats and that he did not say that. I know I don’t let the negative one stop me I think it’s more important for those that said like, how do u deal with that

replying to 2024-08-25T21:28:16.941+00:00 by Dan S Hi Dillon - I'm glad you are focusing on this topic. 700,000 voted "uncommitted" in primaries in MI WI MN PA & other states. Biden won by only 43,000 votes in 3 states. I am preparing a document that has Kamala's positions, the voices of uncommitted resisters & the words of progressives that can help open dialogue. Kamala and Joe have worked together on the ceasefire, hostage release & humanitarian aid. She has some daylight from but not much - she callled for ceasefire a little earlier for example & she's had more dialogue with resisters. Resisters liked her call for Palestinian self-determination in DNC speech but understandably did not like her referencing sexual assault of Israelis but not Gazans. She gives MUCH more policy detail in her 8-25 statement -- I posted on this channel. Most resisters are long-time Democrats who know very well the threat of Trump & reminders may not help & may be insulting [see CNN focus gp with uncommitted]. I will not create words to point out the down side of 1 issue voting but use the words of AOC [see my earlier post of her video], Bernie Sanders & others. Dialogue obviously works. A prime example - Kamala's conversion with the Dearborn mayor won him over. The refusal to have a vetted Palestinian speaker at the DNC who would have endorsed Kamala, may have cost Kamala tens of thousands of votes or more, e.g. Muslim Women for Kamala disbanded & will no longer back her. I suggest Kamala try hard to repair the damage- perhaps a major national event with Ruwa Romman giving her speech, hearing from the Dearborn mayor etc. -- basically for her to say what she did to protesters in AZ - I hear you and I see you.

Hi <@1263626794951774320> , those 700k uncommitted votes are not from the swing states. That is the grand total from all 50 states, teretories, and democrats abroad. Here is the actual uncomitted vote by the swing states: Uncommitted/Other Candidate Nevada: 7,448/6,881 Arizona: 0/45,064 Wisconsin: 48,373/17,730 Michigan: 101,801/43,549 Pennsylvania: 55,611/68,310 North Carolina: 88,900/0 Georgia: 6,429/13,776

'If you hate the president, you hate America.' We're a democracy—at least, we're supposed to be—where you're allowed to disagree, dissent, debate. I really think that he thinks this is an autocracy." In response to a comment Trump made about the George Floyd protests in 2020 she posted back to him " "After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? 'When the looting starts the shooting starts'??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump."

The entire psyops was created to shield Rump from being exposed. The worst part is that they fooled everyone.

Yea, due to my political post on a community page there is complaints about, right now there is a vote going on for yes to political posting or no posting boy did I open a can of worms. Good thing is the yes’s are at 91% while no is at 77%. I am just awed that one person with one post would cause all of this attention. I am glad to get my community up and thinking I get reply’s everyday, and now I have a link to the 2024 platform, this really help people are reading all 92 pages of it. This may be a funny reply from my supporting Women’s right to make their own decisions about their body. This one from a young man, asking hy I support it because I am a man, needless to I reply that I have family members very. concerned about this for their daughters, so I posed a reverse ? Would they get a vasectomy if told by government men had to do this, he said yes and I was a puppet from the mainline news fake news like cnn, nbc and so on, just wow, so embedded with Trump I really see this as a big deal, on how the general public think, as this one is brainwashed totally for Trump no persuading this man so I stop.

Thanks much for these talking points Tamilu! I saw this was from July 24. We can add points from her detailed econ policy from her speech 10 days ago. https://youtu.be/qR4eehb5Kw8 Regarding disappointment that more progressive proposals were not realized -- we need to say clearly that MAGA Republicans blocked most of them. For example, Republicans blocked the John Lewis Voting Rights Act & related legislation, MAGA justices blocked most student debt relief, yesterday a court blocked a Biden-Harris order that said undocumented spouses of US citizens could move toward citizenship without first leaving the country. Just got the attached beautifully written talking points from Bernie S that opens with "The so-called "radical" and “far left” agenda that we are fighting for is, in poll after poll, far more popular than Donald Trump, more popular than the Republican Party, and it is supported by a strong majority of the American people, including Republicans and Independents."

No….its probably unfortunately organic. A lot of leftists that are in the single issue Palestine camp have latched onto her lately after oddly drifting off of RFK. I’m all for more political engagement but trying to point out that Jill is pretty much all but certainly a Russian backed spoiler just tends to shove their mindset further in the direction we *dont* want to push them. For what it’s worth I do my best when I see it come up to educate on her background and the fact she literally took photos in Moscow with Putin, but it’s mixed on that as far as response goes.

Project 2025 outlined in black in white. Congress is attempting to get it through while We Thee People are distracted The CON is ON!

replying to 2024-08-27T19:02:16.394+00:00 by Dan S Kamala cooking: hope you've seen this delightful video of Kamala cooking with Mindy Kaling. Republicans use it to say it proves she is "Indian" and nothing else, and that she has a cackling weird laugh. Democrats say "Did you see her attack that onion with a knife?? Talk about 'fast and furious" https://youtu.be/xz7rNOAFkgE Want a recipe? she gives away her mother's secret recipe for Bacon-Fried Apples!! 😎 Oh ya, that' true https://youtu.be/ql7YHR4Dwg0

Yes, I just posted it a couple of hours ago on my Facebook. Also found the link for cooking for Kamala on one of my friends posts. I will be attending Thursday. Thank-you, anything else you can share would be greatly appreciated. I think it’s best to reach as many groups as possible and some don’t allow political posts.

It's just so stupid. Today's Republicans are the types of people who came up with nonsensical race science, ridiculous one-drop rules, and paranoiac Racial Integrity laws...and the xenophobic immigration policies to back them up. So no wonder they're confused that one person can be more than one thing at one time. So dishonest. 😒

I was wondering if anyone has good replies or discussion points to try and dispel the notion that because grocery prices are high that the economy is doing bad and its Biden / Harris's fault. I understand clearly our economy is doing great if you look at all the other factors but a lot of people only wanna focus on grocery prices because that is the thing right in front of them affecting them the most. Any tips on would be much appreciated for helping to talk to neighbors as well as people online. I see it a lot in my FB groups and such.

Well I have had a very important eye opening experience about my own community group. I posed a question and started a firestorm. I asked about Ss and Medicare I had over 180 replies and still getting them. What happen is 1 it was an uncensored group with a rule that stated if you don’t like it by pass it, well apparently they are censored and are voting to ban all political posts. As national elections have no place in a community and only local and Trump and magna post don’t count. I learned a valuable lesson here choose wisely what u post. There was no political propaganda if you call links to the democratic agenda or even to the republican agenda that is now considered propaganda. I have chosen to leave the group along since it after discovering it manly trumpers. So I switched my posting and are now taking zoom calling phone bank training. Even a lot of post supporting me and the right to post as it does have and effect on community who ever wins. I left.

I would also point out that bodegas and the like charge cost+. When Tyson hikes the price of chicken without paying farmers or packers more (gouging) that filters into the local store because it paid more for the product. A ban on gouging (if written properly) would hit Tyson, not the bodega. Similarly, big chains can negotiate for lower prices from suppliers in ways small grocery stores cannot. Failing to pass those savings onto the consumer or laborer (in the form of wages and benefits) is also a form of gouging.

2024-08-28T14:10:02.704+00:00 by Revka-Ordo [ revka_ordo ] avatar

Right-leaning people are picturing a gouging bill that exclusively targets retailers rather than suppliers and caps the overall cost rather than the margin. Corporate chains can absorb such a rule and small grocers cannot. (Such a bill would further solidify the corporate monopolies.)

Haven’t found one online, so I’ll look for a graphic with a link to Act Blue for texting. That will help control who sees the ad. I’ll ask for a text msg ad in another spot. Have a great day!

It seems the RWM (Right Wing Media) has resurrected an old story about Joey Piscitelli and DA Harris and how she refused to cooperate with sexual abuse victims of priests in the Catholic Church. My friend was incensed. I found several RWM stories about it and only 2 that explained her position. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole. I sent him the links to the 2 stories, pointed out her history with prosecuting child abuse cases for 3 years and asked him if he's read anything about Project 2025. I told him that Project 2025 was what I was afraid of, not something that happened decades ago. I haven't heard back from him.

Inflation is a global concern that's been going on for a while, and it’s worth noting that Harris has been working to curb it since before her run. As of August 14, 2024, the inflation rate in the United States was 2.9% for the 12 months ending July 2024. This is the smallest 12-month increase since March 2021, when prices rose 2.6%. Also, keep in mind that it’s in the best interest of billionaire CEOs to keep prices high. ALSO, and this is a key point, remember that for decades, the US economy has performed better when the president of the United States is a Democrat rather than a Republican, almost regardless of how one measures performance. There is a pronounced Democratic advantage in nearly every measure of macroeconomic performance.

“Another common answer is that unprecedented levels of government spending had a hand to play. But historically, economists have largely agreed that the link between government spending and inflation remains weak. A full half of today’s inflation, they discovered, stems from ongoing supply chain issues as producers struggle to push out enough goods to meet demand. The war in Ukraine and resulting energy shortage, alongside a turbulent housing market, have also contributed to inflation, pushing up prices from several directions at once.” - https://www.forbes.com/sites/qai/2022/08/25/does-government-spending-cause-inflation/

Kamala's Handling of Priest Child Sexual Abuse Cases. Thanks for raising this Barb. I've read several articles [can't find all of them now]. I believe her stance was that she could not legally release records in civil cases when informal requests were made by victims & she could not criminally prosecute. You probably found these articles from this month - one on her toughness with cases generally & one totally trashing her.

ALSO, and this is a key point, remember that for decades, the US economy has performed better when the president of the United States is a Democrat rather than a Republican, almost regardless of how one measures performance. There is a pronounced Democratic advantage in nearly every measure of macroeconomic performance.

Do we know if the numbers in that meme are even right? Ive not had a chance to try and look

Gas being up 46.6% doesn't seem right though...and it doesn't say compared to when? This year? Last four years? I feel like the meme itself is deceptive (but how I feel is irrelevant) so Im curious if it "is" deceptive. Also I feel like a meme refuting the info would be good if it is infact incorrect or deceptive or at least something that clarifies the numbers.

Imagine RFK, Jr. as Secretary of Health & Human Services, the man who claimed the Covid-19 vaccination campaign was intended to “make you a slave.” He looks like an ideal choice for a Trump II, given Trump’s dabbling in disinfectants and horse pills to cure Covid while hundreds of thousands of Americans died. Voters should consider the reflections of Trump’s own Covid Task Force Coordinator, Dr. Deborah Birx. https://vimeo.com/941731328

replying to 2024-08-28T17:54:45.014+00:00 by Dan S Kamala's Handling of Priest Child Sexual Abuse Cases. Thanks for raising this Barb. I've read several articles [can't find all of them now]. I believe her stance was that she could not legally release records in civil cases when informal requests were made by victims & she could not criminally prosecute. You probably found these articles from this month - one on her toughness with cases generally & one totally trashing her. If you're up for it, would love to have from you a few sentences to that pushback -- I can use on twitter https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/08/22/kamala-harris-sex-crimes-prosecutor-00175347 https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/08/22/kamala-harris-covered-sexual-abuse-allegations-prosecutor-claiming-fight-victims-dnc/

Here is one article I posted to my friend that made some sense to me. It's in keeping with then DA Harris, and now VP Harris' respect and integrity for the law. She has never interpreted the law according to her desire for what it should be. She works with what it is. But she has also been concerned for victims and the accused. Her supporters call her pragmatic. Corey Cook, a political scientist and provost at St. Mary's College, and a longtime observer of San Francisco politics said, "She's [Harris} not an ideologue,, she tends to focus on specific problems. "The idea that she would have consistent positions on issues informed by ideology isn't who she is," said Cook. And ... Harris' focus on the victims of abuse and exploitation continued after she was elected as San Francisco's District Attorney. "I don't know what the term 'teenage prostitute' means. I have never met a 'teenage prostitute.' I have met exploited kids." Harris then ordered her prosecutors not to use the term in court. A year later, Harris sponsored a bill putting the crime of human trafficking into the state criminal code. For me, I see her position in the Catholic priest issue as very consistent with her ability to make hard decisions and do unpopular things because it's the right thing to do. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/08/trumps-false-and-misleading-claims-about-harris-record-on-crime/ https://www.sfgate.com/news/bayarea/article/the-real-kamala-harris-what-her-california-years-19579143.php

You are absolutely right to be skeptical. Often, it's sufficient to just reply with something like what you wrote: "I don't know but these numbers seem off. And over what time period is this? Do you have a source for this information?" Make them do the work. What they will find is that there is no source b/c it's fiction --or a mish-mosh of half truths, at best.

Additionally, some energy and pricing bullet points to consider: - Energy is a global market and POTUS has limited impact/influence in global pricing - Fuel prices were down in 2020 because countries world-wide were locking down/shutting down and thus decreased demand; OPEC cut oil production. - Once countries began to "return to normal", demand returned to roughly what it was BUT OPEC kept oil production roughly the same - The US has never been energy-independent; we have more permits/leases and are pumping more but we are still running at an energy-deficit

I've been imagining RFK JR as head of DHHS or CDC or FDA way too much! As I learn more about him, though, it's possible Trump will appoint him as Director of the U.S. Forest Service.

I want to query leaders about the use of Randy Rainbow videos on online sites, especially his latest one which is about six minutes and titled, "The Lawyer and the Conman." Do you think such a video is effective in changing people's minds? I posted the link in a thread of NextDoor.com called "Local Liberals." I got positive response from folks on that thread, but what really surpised me was that I received a congratulatory message from NextDoor.com administrators two days later telling me that my post had been viewed by 640 people.

Hi Courtney - good questions -- young people are concerned about prices like never before - gas, groceries, and unable to buy a house, etc.. I posted videos that address inflation at 2:25 yesterday. I am sure you can find written comments from Warren & Reich, too. Here is one fact-check article on Kamala's capital gains proposal https://www.axios.com/2024/08/23/kamala-harris-unrealized-capital-gains-tax .

Keep in mind a few things: 1. inflation: The FED targets 2% inflation. The expectation in a growth economy is that "normal" price increases are always going to be 2%-3%. Too low, is bad for economic growth. Too high, is bad for all of us consumers. Different sectors of the economy have different historical inflation rates (housing vs medical vs college vs food/groceries). 2. Vice President isn't really capable of controlling inflation. President has more control over that, but it's largely a function of Federal Reserve policy. I also like to speak to friends about U.S. inflation versus other advanced economic countries - U.S. brought down inflation much faster than every other country in the world. 3. Tariffs passed during 2016-2020 also drove inflation for years to come on numerous products. A bike I bought my son at REI in 2017 was about 30% more expensive just 9 months later after Trump instittuted tarrifs targeted at China. We can agree or disagree with the purpose of tariffs - but they absolutely get passed on to the consumer. Trump wants even higher tariffs if he's elected in 2024. 4. Harris is campaigning on combating price gouging - this is not the same as price controls. These talk points are only used with my social media community - i don't get into this while phone or text banking, and keep it much higher level. But, if you're trying to engage people who are listening in good faith - you can google some of what I said above and find plenty of stories and data to reference. The bike story for me is really personal because i couldn't believe how much more it was when I went to buy another one for my younger child. The impact was quite swift.

Others are providing great talking points. I'd also like to say that you do not have to be a policy expert. None of us do. Heck, half the time, even the experts don't agree on this stuff. What has been working for me is to empathize/"meet people were they are," and steer the convo towards common sense/what people see with their own eyes. (Personally, I've seen prices starting to come down in the grocery store and elsewhere.) I also re-posted a meme that might be useful for summing up some of this: https://discord.com/channels/1242249109298221066/1265762143559618624/1278734838492434433

In addition to the excellent posts above, there has been corporate price fixing taking place. So going after illegal price fixing will also have a real impact. https://www.commondreams.org/news/kroger-egg-prices

Respectfully disagree with W Bush. He had so many terrible policies and it would’ve been off-putting to a lot of people. I know I would’ve been very angry to see him speak. I’ll never forgive the lies about Iraq or ignoring all the warning about 9/11. Or his horrible response to Katrina.

I understand that. I'm not *personally* interested in hearing him and was merely thinking strategically. I think his support would be helpful in that sense.

If early voting is available, then they can vote from their current address. If not, then they'll have to register at their new address to avoid a provisional ballot.

Chris Deluzio PA 20:50 Carole King 28:00 Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand NY 34:35 Kim McMurray from Indivisible explains “Neighbor to Neighbor” Program 41:18 Sen Ed Markey MA 45:38 Representative from “Vote from Abroad” 1:16:30 Every one of the speakers is a committed Swiftie [including 78-year-old Ed Markey} & could discuss favorite Swift songs & albums. Carole King talked about her friendship with Taylor & sees herself as Taylor’s grandmother. Would be lovely to have one 4-5 minute video of some key speakers talking about their love for her music. One of several summaries of the event is here. “In their ‘voting era,’ Swifties for Kamala organize to register voters for Harris - More than 34,000 people joined a Zoom call Tuesday led by the group Swifties for Kamala” - Justine McDaniel, August 28, 2024 https://wapo.st/3T6NRL0 In the article: The voting bloc that could decide the US election: Swifties – Sherman. 3-13-24 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/mar/13/taylor-swift-us-election-politics-joe-biden-donald-trump we learn that just over half of her fans are Democrats, 23% are Republicans, and another 23% are independents.

Message for Swifties?? I drafted this message after reading the Newsweek article I posted a few days ago that covers everything Taylor has said about Trump. What do you think of this - Taylor is pretty quiet when it comes to politics. But did you know she’s had some things to say about Donald Trump? In response to a comment Trump made during the George Floyd protests in 2020, she posted: "After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? 'When the looting starts the shooting starts'??? We will vote you out in November."

Hey everyone. I’ve been reading news stories today about republican governors purging voter rolls in their states . Greg Abbott bragged about removing over a million registered voters over the past 3 years . Youngkin in Virginia just used executive order to purge nearly 300,000 voters . We know they’re doing this in Ohio and today I’m discovering it’s happening in every red and swing state that has a republican governor to oversee it and make it happen. You can search these articles yourself and I am STRONGLY URGING EVERY AMERICAN TO CHECK THEIR VOTER REGISTRATION ‼️

It's pretty clear that the comments are coming from people who already have their minds made up. I heard this clip earlier and thought yes!! She is somebody who values (that I agree with) haven't changed. To have a President who will try and work with the problem as it is today and find a solution is what we need. I, too, just left a positive message.

2024-08-29T23:49:39.457+00:00 by Nick [OR] [ nickg5449 ] avatar

Yeah just fyi for people; on youtube the thing that 👎 do is actually bury the comment lower and lower when you have your comments set to "sort by: top comments" which is the default. So you don't get immediate feedback like on reddit, but it is doing something!

My wife and I host whiskey tastings 2 or 3 times a year and our next one on 9/6 will be a Kamala Tim fundraiser. We currently have over $5K in money in or pledges for this Open House. I used this tasting as a way to engage my email networks and encourage relational organizing in the digital sphere for the campaign. It produced many fruitful conversations and has moved a lot of my friends into action.

Appreciate that Olivia. Could you expand a little on what you mean by counter the claim? It is always difficult proving a negative, but I may be able to help direct you if I better understand the messaging you are looking to express.

So far, I've reported almost each individual contact and post online to the campaign via REACH. I am proud to say that I was the July leader and am certainly in the lead in August. I will leave that alone at this point. I will now submit reports only to share effective ways of creating conversations and moving people into action. This will double my real outreach (won't need to do so much reporting on REACH) and produce more effective connections/conversations with my friends and family. I have a real self-interest. Not only am I pushing important information about the campaign to friends/family, I'm actually re-connecting with a lot of people. As a retired person, I have the time for this and it's f*ing awesome.

2024-08-30T14:44:35.672+00:00 by Kathryn Jean [MA] [ lefty_lucy_60633 ] avatar

You Can’t Believe Trump’s Campaign Promises: In 2016, Trump promised that he would protect Social Security or Medicare. Guess what? Every year he was President, Trump proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Trump Didn’t Say He Would Vote for Florida’s Pro-Abortion Access Referendum: Under pressure from the anti-abortion activists in the party, Trump immediately walked back his statement. His spokesperson put out a statement saying that Trump didn’t mean to suggest how he would vote in Florida this fall. He wants to keep his position fuzzy. Since Trump’s position is that abortion is up to the states, we should assume he is voting to uphold Florida’s state ban until he explicitly says otherwise. Trump Doesn’t Support Protecting IVF: Trump has refused to support, and his running mate voted against, efforts to enshrine protections for IVF.

RE Trump Paying for IVF -- one commentator said he's tied to RNC platform that opposes IVF, BUT the opposite is true: "4. Republicans Will Protect and Defend a Vote of the People, from within the States, on the Issue of Life "We proudly stand for families and Life. We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process, and that the States are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights. After 51 years, because of us, that power has been given to the States and to a vote of the People. We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments)." You can see how they have moderated. Best tact perhaps is to show him being proud of getting judges who overturned Roe that then allowed AL Supreme Court to ban IVF

Thank you! I edited the comment above although that talking point also hedged with the word "could." I like the idea of using his pride in overturning Roe that led to AL ban on IVF.

“Leave it up to the states” seems like a “wink wink” to me. What is he going to hold over the states to get them to do what he wants. This is a classic example of saying something that sounds reasonable but in reality puts these “rights” in the hands of a man who can then quid pro quo with states while hiding behind it being their decision. I can just hear it now, “you want this federal funding for your schools, well not until you change (insert law of choice).” I removes the obvious blame but not the control. We all know his over developed sense of grievance and revenge, the only way to protect the states from manipulation is to have the right protected at the federal level.

Good points. Am loving what Ruth Marcus said this week "Why should anyone believe Trump on this question? After all, he just chose a vice-presidential nominee who said in 2022 that he “certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.” Now comes Arkansas with more evidence that the “leave it to the states” argument is a crock" https://wapo.st/3Xl9EkK Several Dems in the last week have made strong statements -- with the existing state bans women are suffering and have almost died [see DNC speeches of women & partners suffering]. Also women in a banned state going to other states put a huge burden on those clinics -- also burden on women in the south is great because they must travel hundreds or thousands of miles https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/abortion-laws-roe-v-wade.html?smid=url-share [gift articles]

Hey y'all - I'm going to look into this a bit more at a more reasonable hour, but I just got back from seeing some old friends I haven't seen in years - center to right politics No one tried to be rude or "catch" me in anything, it was all respectful, just at the end of the night we wound up having like an hour long parking lot conversation about politics Claims that I tried my best to wade through while very tired: - Biden is currently mentally unfit for office if Harris is stepping in, and the whole thing is shady - It's ironic that Harris is supporting a "border wall" (I'd never heard of this and just said she supports the bipartisan bill) - Protections against price gouging and fixing "did not go well in some other countries" ie it's communist and will ruin the country - I do not know enough about the policies or economics to speak to this, though of course it's not what I think - There's nothing to stop people buying and selling homes to raise the price of homes another 25k if they know someone is going to be getting it - Something about the child tax credit being $6000 one year, then half of that the next, then half the year after or gone? My friend said that his source for some of this is campaign materials. There isn't a policy page on the website. May I ask where I can go for policy resources? May I ask if anyone knows about any of these things or has a good way to respond? Thank you!

I am getting comments from my friend/family Trump supporters about Biden and Harris not going to Arlington and that they never reached out to Gold Star families. Brother-in-law keeps saying Biden preferred to be on vacation. Everything I see online verifies that, although most sources are Fox News or similar. How are we responding to this?

This was the third anniversary of the Kabul airport attack. Did T mark the anniversary the first or second time? Both Harris and Biden offered official statements. I do not think it is customary for the president or vp to visit Arlington to mark these types of occasions? If I, the daughter of veterans, were responding, I might also add that T is a rapist, fraudster, traitor and convicted felon and that he is despicably using our fallen heroes for his own political gain.

Biden has gone to Arlington on Memorial Day [probably every year]--- announcement this year: WASHINGTON – "The nation’s 155th National Memorial Day Wreath-Laying and Observance Program to honor America’s fallen will be live-streamed from Arlington National Cemetery beginning at 11 a.m. EDT, Monday, May 29. The U.S. Army Military District of Washington will conduct a Presidential Armed Forces Full Honors Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, followed by an observance program in the Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery. A prelude by the U.S. Navy Band and Sea Chanters will begin in the amphitheater at 10:15 a.m. President Joseph R. Biden Jr. will lay the wreath at the ceremony hosted by Maj. Gen. Allan M. Pepin, commanding general of Joint Task Force-National Capital Region and the U.S. Army Military District of Washington. Attendance at the wreath-laying ceremony will be limited to official participants only." Biden this year went to a military cemetery in Europe that Trump refused to go to. Here is an article on that & one on Harris vs Trump on military vhttps://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-election-france-451275981e578163c51b5a2562ae6694 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/30/trump-arlington-cemetery-harris-military-00176915

I've had several comments today in support of Harris just disappear off of YT. Shows in my post history, but not on the video.

I've been getting political comments deleted for months now, only political ones. I've even gotten suspended for "cyberbullying" political figures. I never break TOS.

This sounds like a coordinated reporting campaign by (most likely) a "combined arms" team of people and bots. Wish we had a space and tools to collect data on this to give it to several journalistic outlets. This is the kind of suppression that goes along with the misinformation campaigns that it's hard to even notice (because most people aren't checking).

What are we doing about Pennsylvania? I'm hearing there are no yard signs for Harris/Walz, but tons for trump/vance. Polls are showing she's still struggling there. What can we do to help? I think she needs more time there. Besides the suburbs of Philly, where else can she eke out votes. Pittsburgh, Allentown, Reading, Scranton...none of these towns are growing. Her middle class/labor message might resonate if we can find a way to reach them.

Right. The polls are basically all within the margin of error. But PA is pretty critical, and there are other signs that it's going slowly. I prefer to call it concern, not panic. And I'd rather be concerned now instead of after the election.

But, when I look in my Mac download folder, the video file DOES show up. When I upload the video to my Facebook timeline, Facebook tells me it will take a while to upload because it is a 17MB file. Why not simply provide a Youtube link instead of a uploading large video files at each social media platform? Is there a Youtube repository with all the links. It would be a lot faster. Please advise.

I usually ask them to elaborate. Clarify their position. It usually has two outcomes in that they stop responding or they defeat their own point.

To echo what Bobby B. said above: Encouraging them to elaborate ("Go on") or asking them to clarify are good options to try to suss out the difference between a bot, someone who is trolling/being disingenuous, or a person who might be some sort of True Believer. Take heart. The first two are far, far more common and they're trying to bait you into some sort of emotional reaction. As for the rare last person, be cautious, don't let them take over the conversation with their rhetoric, and find a way to end the contact. Sometimes, people are just not ready to hear anything that isn't confirmed by their world view. As for the rhetoric itself, I've been hearing/reading similar for twenty (and more) online years. They have been emboldened and are saying the quieter parts out loud.

replying to 2024-08-31T18:55:13.266+00:00 by CarolC(IL) What are we doing about Pennsylvania? I'm hearing there are no yard signs for Harris/Walz, but tons for trump/vance. Polls are showing she's still struggling there. What can we do to help? I think she needs more time there. Besides the suburbs of Philly, where else can she eke out votes. Pittsburgh, Allentown, Reading, Scranton...none of these towns are growing. Her middle class/labor message might resonate if we can find a way to reach them.

Get your friend connected with PA Dems. They have phonebanks and more. Also while signs don't vote, local field offices are the best place to look. I'll tell you right now, there wasn't a bunch of signs in very purple Bucks County where I live in 2022 but it didn't matter. Also, don't look at those polls. 2016 is a great example on why.

If you want to make a difference in a more specialized area, you can join phone banks for the PA dems as an example even if you don’t live in PA (I think?)

I can understand the need to worry about Pennsylvania. Democrats are struggling not just in the polls, but also in the ground game as Scott Presler's team has been narrowing the voter registration gap between our side and the Republicans. Nonetheless, I do hold hope that Kamala will be able to reverse the tide once she and Walz return to the state and rally their voters there.

2024-09-01T02:03:55.859+00:00 by Aren Tan [CA] [ humblenovice ] avatar

Pennsylvania Democrats need to put as many signs as possible because the environment also helps drive up enthusiasm for voters.

Winning either PA or NC is really important because (assuming we win Nevada or Arizona in the case of NC) it makes the Georgia election czars and their bogus rules moot, and we’re much more likely to with PA than NC even if NC is realistic and on the table. In other words, PA is the most important state on the map without a fairly clear winner. You win PA, you are extremely likely to win the whole thing. That’s why there’s so much anxiety around it. Because those 19 electoral votes will determine a winner in a lot of scenarios.

PA & Polling: Hi - I am also concerned about PA, given that voting starts soon & seeing results of the most reliable polling. I am writing postcards to PA with Activate America for house races that should get people out for Kamala. I might add phone banking. Right now, the 538 poll averages [adjusted for sample size, poll quality, party lean, etc.] show Harris: WI +3.2 MI +2.4 PA +1.2 NV + 0.7 GA +0.5 AZ +0.3 NC -.04. Attached is a handout on forecasting that has helped guide my efforts

If anything the polls are likely to be less favorable for us than the end result (for example, polling in 2022 suggested Republicans would flip 60 or so seats in the House of Representatives, but they only ended up flipping 9)

I know that I look at polls too much. Keep in mind, things are going extraordinarily well for the Harris-Walz campaign. At some point there will be a bump in the road or something out of our control. The best way to deal with that nervous energy is get out there, listen to voters, make a connection and just be authentic about why we support this ticket. You don't need to mimic talking points or know all the nuances of public policy...just be one person connecting with another. Now, let's go win this thing!!

My ex worked for McDonald's. I thought I remembered this correctly. They only have to keep employment records for 1-3 years. If it was a franchise store the owner could delete records and a lot of them didn't bother keeping the kids who worked there.

<@1199911282623664181> So based on Snopes and Barbara's excellent info there is no proof for them to say Harris didn't work there. She said she did and so theirs is just a baseless accusation. Obviously this hits a nerve and they want it not to be true. As far as them taking notes, what are they planning on doing with them? I am hoping not, but sounding like Stazi in East Germany getting people to report on others. Sounds scary, but it would be good to question the intent, if possible.

I used to work for McDonalds. They do not keep the records long, but yes the owners may remember her, her parents, her friends, a photo, her word. it is from the mouth of the man himself, so I assume it is a lie and projection of some sorts, just another distraction for keeping me from doing my own work and helping us flip blue.

Honestly the McDonalds debate seems so silly to me. I am in my upper 40s (so younger than Harris). As a teen I worked at both McDs and Burger King. Neither ever showed “in my resumes” cuz why would they? The jobs didn’t apply to anything I was applying for and honestly HRs etc tend to by and large ignore those first jobs and back in the day we were generally told not to bother putting them on unless for some reason they apply to what you’re trying to do or you can show them somehow applying. In addition, the McDs I worked at closed so - no records. The Burger King is still there but I can guarantee that 30+ years later - they aren’t gonna have the records of that teen that worked there for 6 months lol

I also have zero pictures in my uniforms, didn’t keep my name badges (why would I? LMAO) and I don’t have anything else. The only person who knows I worked there and that still talk to would maybe confirm it, but would you wanna be in the middle of this political circus and become a target just to confirm someone else worked at McDs 30 years ago

They are trying to distract us from the real issues again. Post information from reach on the subject at least three times. You can block negative comments so don't respond. I live next door to MTG's district so I understand your concern. But if we allow them to win. We will be in even more trouble because they will have permission to persecute us.

Most everyday people will know the narrative is silly and also - completely irrelevant to her candidacy too. There isn’t a real reason for her to lie about it. She has other regular jobs she could also point to. Their campaign is only making a big deal because DJT has exactly zero everyday people experience or jobs that weren’t given through nepotism

Having a posting problem but don’t know where to send it. Filmed content set in a horizontal rectangular shape only shows the middle of the video. Ok if single speaker but with two people in the video you only see an empty frame. It is also bad if there are words that need to be read in the rectangle only half shows up on the post. It’s great content but looks pretty bad. Can someone pass this along to the creator group

With a lot of the more minor attacks, ignoring them is the best thing to do because it keeps the spotlight off trump. The campaign, which includes us, should only address things that it benefits us to address, and these low attacks aren’t that

The volume (both in the amount and how loud it can be) can be overwhelming. It's like lifting up a large rock only to find a bunch of things crawling around down there. Kinda gross, maybe a little weird, but relatively harmless. 😆 I am glad you took a break and regroupped. Those will be some of your strongest tools when engaging with the public and your local communities. I have had some success redirecting the conversation by asking where/who/how/when a person or a group got the information "so I can look it up later" and then changing or re-engaging on a facet of the conversation or a safer talking point. You are not alone and you got this!

Hi all, I just finished watching on Amazon Prime: #Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump. It was very insightful and helped me understand why anyone would follow Donald Trump from a psychological perspective. If you haven't seen it, I suggest watching it. Now the question is...how do we suggest to Trump supporters to watch it too?

To add to what Jake.Henderson said above - yes ignore the minor attacks – keep the "spotlight" off Trump – which means to me keeping the algorithms so that Trump doesn't in X/twitter for ex. start "Trending"

So., we need a resource that just provides direct responses to the common b.s., like "McDonald's doesn't have a record of her". It's ridiculous to have every individual Democrat have to generate a brand new response every time someone sees that (or others) old trope. Would save millions of man hours to just have a template to work from, on these common ones.

Hey I follow this account of Trumps daily posts on truth social and I was wondering if the campaign or someone here should do some rapid response. Lots of this stuff is wacko but I think it may still be worth responding to. What are your yalls thoughts?

Give it some time then, because I don't see it in Reach now and it's been corrected at https://discord.com/channels/1242249109298221066/1250876565366243348/1280282303880495327 (which will feed into Reach).

I came here to post a similar question as Tai. Every time I go to a YouTube video with Tim Walz, I see the usual character assassination stuff. Does this team post comments to links offering factual information for drive-by viewers to potentially click?

More often than not - responding to misinformation does nothing but amplify it even louder given the nature of algorithms! We recommend that we do not respond to attacks or false info online - rather we make sure we amplify the things that are true to drown out the noise!

Does anyone know what the turnaround time for videos on Reach is? I watched the Pittsburgh event from clips by Aaron Rupar on Twitter, went to Reach to share, searched for Pittsburgh and found nothing. I realize it takes more time to post something polished but I really liked her closer and how passionate she was about opportunity. I don’t really understand why people says she’s vague other than deliberately misunderstanding what she’s saying.

This essentially has to be dealt with by journalists . Unless someone comes up with a bot campaign to fight disinfo on youtube, it's too much effort for volunteers to fight a couple of computers working arounf the clock to disseminate garbage. I've been working on a guide for collecting data to hand over to them as evidence of a coordinated disinfo campaign so they have less work to do to write an effective story.

For YouTube, you want: - how you navigated to the page including what dection it was under if it was labeled. (This is for how they are targeting) - how long the video has been up - how many views it has - how many likes - how many comments (just the number, you don't need to count the bot ones manually that's too much work) - screenshots of the comments As you're doing this you can report everything if you'd like. Again, the point is to collect data, not fight the fire yourself, but it always makes me feel better to do some reporting. xD I'm putting a guide together with examples but I don't yet have a place to put it. Last note: important to remember they have to do this because they don't actually have people naturally commenting on these videos, so it's a sign of electoral weakness.

I ALWAYS check spam and junk folders as well as Apple Mail blocked addresses and phone numbers. Why am I not getting the post-training e-mails? My guess is that the campaign itself blocked my e-mail ( joecarrtexas@comcast.net ) sometime in the past...maybe in response to me trying to limit dozens of e-mails each day from past Biden Harris e-mails.

I've been in technology for the majority of my life (I'm 57 and have been involved with tech since I was 10, so that should give you an idea). When Obama ran for President, I told people he was going to win, and win big, because not only did he have a better message, but because he recognized early on how to use social media to his advantage. I think that in 2016, Trump won because he figured it out and utilized it better than Hillary did. This year, I am BLOWN AWAY at how the Harris campaign is taking it to new heights by getting all of us involved. Trump is a social media organization of one (two if you count Elon). For fun, I went to the volunteer sites for both campaigns. The difference, like everything else, is stark and, like Obama, beyond having a better message, we are kicking *ss when it comes to social media engagement - and that's what's going to give us our first female President! This campaign is definitely where joy comes to live.

replying to 2024-09-03T15:52:34.986+00:00 by rootsmusic Check if you've enabled "followup messages after events" under [Notification Settings](https://www.mobilize.us/me/settings/).

Thanks for the suggestion, but getting to the mobilize settings screen requires using a my Google/gmail account, my Facebook account or a magic link sent to my e-mail, BUT... 1) The magic link never appears in my joecarrtexas@comcast.net inbox or spam folder, 2) using the Facebook account does NOT work, and 3) my main e-mail is my Comcast e-mail, not my Google gmail. My Discord account is my Comcast e-mail. Do I have to somehow create a whole new Mobilize account using my Comcast e-mail? Maybe my Mobilize acct was set up years ago with my Google gmail.

Mobilize emailed the event to you, so that email address should be the one to login to Mobilize.

Maybe that explains why the Mobilize training sessions only come to me via text, and NOT via Comcast e-mail. If I login to Mobilize with gmail, will it allow me to change e-mail address? I'll try that now.

<@1184187512491618404> Yes, I heard that it amplifies and raises the creators engagement in the algorithm. Can you confirm which is best if it is your own YT or TT? 1. Counter the information in your comments to your video. I heard it increases your algorithm so your video is shown to more people. 2. block or delete suspected bad actors, trolls, bots? 3. Or are you better to leave the misinformation alone.so it does not amplify, no matter what, even if it is applying in the thousands?

replying to 2024-09-03T14:15:04.356+00:00 by Nick [OR] For YouTube, you want: - how you navigated to the page including what dection it was under if it was labeled. (This is for how they are targeting) - how long the video has been up - how many views it has - how many likes - how many comments (just the number, you don't need to count the bot ones manually that's too much work) - screenshots of the comments As you're doing this you can report everything if you'd like. Again, the point is to collect data, not fight the fire yourself, but it always makes me feel better to do some reporting. xD I'm putting a guide together with examples but I don't yet have a place to put it. Last note: important to remember they have to do this because they don't actually have people naturally commenting on these videos, so it's a sign of electoral weakness.

Collecting this data could also be used once Harris & Walz are in office to inform policy in re: Data Privacy, Cyber Security, and the refinement of Section 230. Kinda need to know the topography/landscape beyond corporations handwaving and asking to regulate themselves. To get a feel for the disconnect between where we are vs. what these companies are telling us vs. policy, I invite anyone to read Ch. 7 of P2025 (the section on Cyber and Intelligence) and download the text of the TikTok Ban bills, which didn't pass. Anyone in tech and with a grasp of the basics, both are like badly written Bond Novels with consolidation of power under Trump.

For TT, 1) works 2) not sure 3) definitely don't comment on or watch or reply to or repost disinfo videos. You want to tap-hold and choose "report" then choose "misinformation". If it's just dumb talking points but not disinfo, you can pick "not interested" instead. <@1270181490227155029> this was supposed to be a reply, sorry.

For YT: 1) I have no evidence this does anything. (If someone else does lmk) 2) Yes, this is effective on your own videos. For other people's videos, you want to thumbs down and report any comments on their vids (ideally after collecting data). For disinfo videos you want to make sure you don't watch more than 20 seconds of the video, report. But don't thumbs down the video (that's engagement) 3) Leaving it alone is a solid option if you don't have time or are exhausted. Collecting the url of the video would be helpful.

This is likely a coordinated disinfo attack. Literally everything is not just false but ridiculously so. Unfortunately some of MAGA are too far gone and actually believe this kind of stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if this was meant simultaneously to distract us, make us mad at our fellow citizens, and activate the worst and most corrupted of MAGA. Mostly, my advice is: just don't panic. And, if you really want to do something, take some screenshots and send them to a disinformation/IT/security reporter.

Hi Skye - Thanks for the suggestion about trying to subscribe to Mobilize, but Mobilize does not show me a "subscribe" option. Here is what I did: I first opened Mobilize in my browser and it already had me logged in on my gmail account. I then logged out of Mobilize so I could look for a subscribe button or option so I could set up an account using my Comcast e-mail account, BUT there was no subscribe button or option. Somehow when I take a training session in Mobilize, I never get an e-mail in either e-mail account... not even in my gmail-based Mobilize account which has settings set for me to receive e-mails via gmail after events. This has been really frustrating. Also for some reason, when I sign up for a Mobilize event, I only get the links by text and NEVER by e-mail.

replying to 2024-09-03T14:12:22.2+00:00 by Nick [OR] This essentially has to be dealt with by journalists . Unless someone comes up with a bot campaign to fight disinfo on youtube, it's too much effort for volunteers to fight a couple of computers working arounf the clock to disseminate garbage. I've been working on a guide for collecting data to hand over to them as evidence of a coordinated disinfo campaign so they have less work to do to write an effective story.

Thanks. Guide sounds interesting. If you're suggesting that I supply some data on clips I've watched, to help your effort along, LMK. Couldn't tell, but would be happy to pull together a spreadsheet. Mainly I watch livestreams, preferring PBS as it turns comments off. But for local events it varies, and I like to post Likes on duplicates, mostly for the optics.

this is so ridiculous it's one of those funny, not funny moments. It is purposefully written like a stump speech so that it's like swatting at flies. My dad use to say, don't stay so busy swatting at flies that you miss the alligator snapping at your ankle. In the combatting misinformation training... a quick overview... use the ABC method...Acknowledge the Fear..... (There is a lot of stoking the flames of fear here but seems the central theme is around Illegal Immigrants), B bridge the concern....C Counter message " I understand Illegal immigration and border safety and control is important and it is concerning to all Americans including the democrats. (B) What's important to remember (C) is that a bill to protect the boarders had bi-partisan support and only recently failed in congress because Former President Trump reached out to his supporters and instructed them to vote no so that it would help his campaign. This ultimately put the country at risk for political gain. There is also material in the reach app that you can use to support this. on a funnier note....demrats eat magats 😂 gotta laugh to keep from crying

Those long posts are long intentionally. The length usually fills up the whole chat window or a cell phone screen and are usually used to intentionally derail a conversation. You can't win by arguing with those head on, so I suggest either responding with a meme mocking the poster -or- posting something that's either more "shocking" or funnier to derail that post.

The meme accomplishes multiple things: - Puts them on notice - Puts them on blast - Calls them a child - Implies that they should be banned from the chat for being that childish/stupid

Also keep in mind that meme is a very tame PG version of what is possible to respond with. If they start really going at it in chat trying to derail everything, I strongly suggest going significantly raunchier (within reason, of course). Like "how would Austin Powers respond to this".

What gets lost in the shuffle is there was heavy defense investment during The Space Race of the 1960s + the Cold War, specifically with launching things into orbit and how to maintain comms should then-traditional means be interrupted. This thing we're using to organize was an old DARPA/ARPA answer to those questions.

BIG OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE MODERATES I could use help engaging with people on Lex Fridman’s Youtube podcasts page to politely push back on Lex’s interview with Donald Trump. Lex has 4.17 MILLION subscribers, 1.64 MILLION views of his interview with Trump and over 34,000 comments on this episode on Youtube since the interview was posted 9 hours ago. Lex's audience has MANY moderates, although most of the comments so far are supportive of the Trump interview. The moderate viewers who regularly watch or listen to Lex are probably a bit shy to comment against the Trump interview, so I think it would be helpful if volunteers from our online engagement team chime in on the Youtube page for this episode to politely criticize Lex for failing to push back on some of Trump’s major lies and to educate people commenting on the interview. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/qCbfTN-caFI To see my comments, look for my @joec143 Google handle. I politely criticized Lex for his failure to push back more aggressively on these topics: - Trump suggestion that Hillary Clinton should have been sent to prison. - Trump calling the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election a “hoax”. - No push back on Trump saying he knew nothing about Project 2025. - No push back on Trump blaming Biden for the messed up withdrawal from Afghanistan, ignoring Trump’s role in that mess. - No push back on Trump killing the bipartisan immigration bill because he needed to use the wedge issue to get votes. - No probing on Trump’s Dec 2020-Jan 2021 conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. Lex also wants to interview Kamala Harris, which I think would be good.

Look for the download icon, click/tap it and save the content to your device. Then you're going to go into the platform in question (X, Threads, FB) and use the same features you would use to upload a photo or a video. Hope this helps.

Lately I haven’t had much time for TV either so I get it 😂 but either way it’s been really fun volunteering for all the trainings & shifts!

GA’s Deadly School Shooting. Another tragedy today – We have a chance to start posting now about Kamala's incredible work on school safety and gun violence. Attached is a summary I made from a long policy statement from the White House. Republicans are likely to repeat ‘prayers and thoughts’ and that it’s too early to talk policy – look for likely David Hogg's statement and parents of victims saying this IS the time to talk policy. Also, Dr. on msnbc this hour says GA has very poor gun laws.

All this disinfo stuff is coming to another early crest. New CNN report that we're getting official announcements from the government soon on an RT disinfo campaign. I don't think it's worth posting since the announcement is coming later today and we'll have more and better reporting then. There is, predictably, a Russian disinfo firehose directed at the video, which I found amusing.

For today's icebreaker (posted in <#1250551051002839131> ): What is your favorite part of Fall? My favorite part of Fall is the change of the season that can be felt with the crisp coldness in the air in the mornings, the warm smell of pumpkin pie spice in coffee shops, etc.

Cool story this morning! I live in a neighborhood where a lot of Trump supporters proudly fly their MAGA flags. I took a risk by openly supporting Kamala Harris, both online and by displaying political statements at my house. Today, after dropping my kid off at school, a neighbor I’d never spoken to pulled me aside and said, ‘We LOVE your Kamala Harris flags!’ That moment reminded me—it only takes ONE person to stand up for what they believe in. Many of us feel the same way but are afraid to speak up. Today, I got confirmation that I will NEVER stay silent. Let’s get it done! 💙🇺🇸💪🏽

I had a long conversation with my daughter-in-law. She lives in a deep, deep Trump country area in PA. She is a thoughtful, kind person who is no longer listening to anything abut either candidate. She said she hates the negativity of Trump and wants someone who has positive solutions to offer. But when I asked if she watched anything about Kamala, she said no and she won't because both parties are liars. It's this attitude that worries me the most.

2024-09-05T13:32:35.716+00:00 by mrBerrytoes [ mrberrytoes ] avatar

Maybe ask her if she thinks you're a liar or just misguided, and let her try to deprogram *you* and see what happens.

Actually I listened to her and found out that much of their former support for Trump and I fear still, even though she says she won't vote for either, is that my son is a 50 yo white male who has worked for DOD for 0ver 30 years after spending 10 years in the Navy. She said, in tears, that he has been passed over for promotions 5-6 times in the last 6 years and the jobs went to unqualified DEI candidates. She said he feels totally void of all value. Her pain was real .We love each other very much and have agreed that politics will not change that. She and I have always validated each other's feelings. Feelings aren't right or wrong, they just are. There's nothing I can do to convince her. It's just that I wonder how many others there are like her. And because she is the only one in the family who supports Trump that is willing to talk to me genuinely, I now have a better understanding of some of the Trump folks.

Try engaging with the community you want to post it in for a couple of days by commenting, upvoting (or downvoting) and otherwise doing community things. It should remove the bot-ness the (ironically probably) bot-mods are applying to your account. Often there are karma and other requirements for specific communities in addition to account level ones for reddit automoderation. I don't have any other ideas for places that might get traction with long form content.

I mostly post about video games but also do political content, collated in this playlist for everyone to see. My highest viewed TikTok video accurately predicting the 2022 midterms got 70k views on TikTok and a video talking about the global ramifications of the election when Biden was still in got 952 views. I plan on making a livestream this weekend inside of Microsoft Flight Simulator talking about the dizzying amount of historical events in this race at a high level between July and now before the debate, and would appreciate any technical advice on simulcasting to TikTok, Twitch and YouTube.

I went to the training say this, not that. They suggest you reach them w a positive emotional appeal and avoid proving them wrong. I think they're right about that. There's something called the backfire effect when you prove someone wrong. They recommend we give up on Trumpers. We can't help them.

Just wanted to share a tactic that I've seen work and had work with the whole Walz family endorsing trump thing. You respond by saying how this just shows how Walz is even more like the rest of us in America. Many have lost friends and family and have been divided because of a man who tries to overthrow our government once and will do it again in a heartbeat. Then share your story about friends or family you've lost due to Trump. It's really impactful and flips the script.

2024-09-06T05:06:29.548+00:00 by Ian S. (NY-25) [ idrive66 ] avatar

Once you start highlighting the things and the reasons for the division and emphasize how it was the GOP who caused that division by putting the very existence of fellow Americans against each other because of who they are and the impact it has had on you and your family really seems to hit home.

Here's why relational organizing in the digital sphere is important. We need to counter the false narrative of the opposition and we do so with our trusted voice with the folks in our networks. I'm from Western PA. If we vote, we win. Our people hold the key and we need to be engaged and ready to get out the vote. That means constant contact for the next 60 days. I've had friends say that I'm posting too much political stuff, and ten times as many friends have countered this claim with encouragement to do even more posting. We also need to engage our friends in conversation and get them engaged. I've now had over 500 conversations with people in my network confirming their vote and encouraging them to download REACH and get to work. So far, over 30 of my friends have downloaded the app and are doing organizing for the campaign. I am reaching out in my neighborhood, in my faith groups, in my social groups, and in my political groups. I will leave no stone unturned in my networks. We are the ones we've been waiting for. If we don't want Agent Orange in the White House destroying democracy and threatening our children's future and our present, the time for engagement is NOW. Let's get our friends and family on REACH and help them to use their voice in the digital sphere and in face-to-face conversations with their friends.

replying to 2024-09-06T12:32:12.292+00:00 by Martin Rafanan Here's why relational organizing in the digital sphere is important. We need to counter the false narrative of the opposition and we do so with our trusted voice with the folks in our networks. I'm from Western PA. If we vote, we win. Our people hold the key and we need to be engaged and ready to get out the vote. That means constant contact for the next 60 days.

It may be that the other friends seeing your post with facts will take notice and do a little research. Outspoken MAGA are too invested at this point to change, no one wants to feel like they were foolish enough to be scammed, but their friends will also see your posts. It's actually easier to reply with empathy when you know and care about the person, as you do.

Thanks. Someone told me once I was too condescending, so I do try and have a different approach now. The funny thing is while I don't get any likes or comments on my posts friends in GA, FL and AZ have started reposting my posts.

I have wondered since 2010 who is in control of making decisions in Shelby County is it Steve Cohen or Mayor Strickland and I wonder if Steve Cohen ever supported Donald Trump as well for things to go so sour and for our physical beings to feel like after a affliction or trauma that we are to continue to struggle and suffer and to withhold necessary benefits and information for the personal individual to move to move forward...it's open because for him to donate 300,000 towards victims but for the withheld information to not be considered for the individual victims to have the perpetrator apprehended and the material such as police cameras to not be considered or even looked upon and then have a timeline to were nothing can be identified is a inside job...

Instagram baffles me... I tried to share the 60day message in <#1250551973053468672>, but I only seem to be able to share on other platforms and it shows as a link, not the image. Also don't see how I post something new on IG (so that I could c&p the image). The + said "New Highlight" which doesn't appear to get me to a new post.

I wrote an article on Medium about how people can help Kamala and Democrats win this November, but it won't do any good unless it gets read! I don't write a whole lot, so I don't have many followers or anything like that. I just found all this information and compiled it in a way that I thought people would find inspiring and approachable. Can I get some help to promote this? I'm hoping if people read it it will bring in money and volunteers for the campaigns. https://medium.com/@peterst28/getting-democrats-elected-when-we-fight-we-win-11f92f57af40

I need some help. I took the training where we talked about acknowledge, bridge and counter. I need suggestions on how. I posted about Trump and Project 2025 and got a response "Trump is NOT supporting Project 2025." Just that. I started with saying to her I understand there are millions who agree with you. And I know that all of us are concerned about the future of our country. Now I'm stuck on what to say next to do the bridge part. Any ideas?

When I post stuff to facebook or linkedin or x or my email groups, I'm looking for friends to have a conversation with. Sometimes, its a message conversation on fb or linkedin or an email where a person confirms their support. When I confirm their support, I want to encourage them to do online organizing using REACH and DISCORD, really mostly REACH. As I assess my networks, I'm especially looking for people who have extensive personal networks, and are active on the platform. These are folks who can amplify messages and encourage others to get engaged. My goal is to get folks to participate. As Michelle Obama said, "DO SOMETHING." We have to do this NOW as there is no time to waste. The opposition has a strong foothold in PA (where I'm doing my organizing) and we need to find those people and networks in our strongholds of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and especially surrounding suburbs in these two urban areas. We're told that those suburbs hold the key to victory. Let's find our peeps there and move them into action.

I've seen a chart comparing Project 2025 to Agenda 47 which is Trumps "manifesto" That might be the easiest way to tie to policy

I'm a whiskey drinker and tonight, we will have a Whiskey Sip 'n Share Fundraiser for Kamala and Tim. We have $5K in and counting. Those who show up will have their pick of 22 beautiful whiskies from around the world: bourbons from Kentucky, Whiskies from the center of the Whisky Universe - Islay, exquisite Japanese and Irish Whiskies, and specially crafted stuff from Australia. This event was a part of my "relational organizing" process. I needed to have something folks could rally around in my community and my emails/contacts of this group (especially those who stepped up to be hosts at higher giving levels) are now my targets for more engagement online. Many have downloaded REACH. I will get more to do so tonight.

YouTube has a playlist of [Reach tutorials](https://www.reach.vote/knowledge-base/category/guides/video-guides/). People who have completed a Reach training are familiar with the first two parts of the playlist. Part 5 is relational organizing, which is what you're doing. If your contacts do the same relational organizing, then Reach's user base will expand to your contacts' networks.

Exactly. I have not yet organized a personal REACH training but I've been thinking about doing so for my immediate friends, neighbors and contacts in Pittsburgh. I also have groups of folks who might be interested. Sometimes, it's hard to get folks motivated to attend the campaign's trainings. I might be able to make it a bit easier for them to get on board.

I spoke with an amazing Democrat in Nevada. His family had the misfortune of being stiffed by Trump in the building of Trump's short lived Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. He is a blue dot in an extremely red area. HIs neighbors, including many seniors, are very anti-government and for that reason, even against their own self interest, support Trump. HIS MESSAGING SUGGESTION: We need to address this anti-government sentiment if we ever want to break through to these people. Those who benefit/depend on Social Security, Medicare if they are older or approaching retirement. Those that used the GI Bill for service members to go to college, like Coach Walz and JD Vance. Those that receive food assistance. FEMA and the National Guard to help recover from disasters and rebiuld communities, etc.

My dad worked a construction job that had ties to Trump and he said about the same things. Also, I have a friend from college who is from Atlantic City and he told me a lot about Trump that was very negative. I only wish these messages got through to others.

As do I. Maybe using Coach Walz recitation of the policies Trump would enact and Walz's question, "Who asked for this?" would help to get through to anti-government people.

I know Penn Wharton favored Kamala’s model and it’s online - I guess for context it’s saying that if you’re lower income you’d do better under Harris versus if you’re higher income which I wouldn’t find it hard to believe. The biggest gap is 208k plus which isn’t exactly middle income hehe

Hey team I saw this ad on TikTok which I encourage you all to share and retweet as it is effective (and sad at the same time) https://www.tiktok.com/@trumpwords/video/7411284495946501418?_t=8pXEIpDViZC&_r=1

The author's point is that these ads need to be countered directly by reliable sources. Just saying Trump did something similar won't help (imo) because people are already overloaded with hearing about all the awful things he has done, is doing, and will do if he can.

Even the NYTimes is pointing out Trump's continued connection to Project 2025: "Former President Donald J. Trump vowed to vastly reshape the federal bureaucracy on Saturday in a wide-ranging, often unfocused speech at a rally in Wisconsin. He pledged to ultimately eliminate the Department of Education, redirect the efforts of the Justice Department and fire civil servants charged with carrying out Biden administration policies that he disagreed with. [***] Many of the proposals in Mr. Trump’s speech align with plans reported by The New York Times to conduct a broad expansion of presidential power over government, and to effectively concentrate more authority within the White House, if he wins in November. And many of his pledges dovetailed with the stated goals and proposals of Project 2025, an effort by a group of conservative organizations to develop policies for the next Republican president. "

RE: Covering daily rants: "Fox News" used to cover his events full coverage, since they started cutting away someone (on, I think it was MSNBC) wondered if their news network should start covering them, and let people hear. I think those are probably more deserving of coverage , than the shouting into the void he has been doing on Twitter for over a dozen years. I did not think we think we should platform him then, when he said he teased he would shortly have an important announcement; and what was then revealed regarding the whole birth certificate thing did not seem like enough of a major announcement. They do read his rants occasionly on Morning Joe on MSNBC . Who still watches network news, (aside from retired persons, some who may not even know there is an election), with CBS benching Nora O'Donnell, according to Katie Couric? I don't know about local news. I'd be surprised if they showed him in context, changing the subject to tarrifs and inanity such as "Child care is child care ." However CNN, and MSNBC devoted time to this & the "weave", the same week as the Harrisburg Town Hall on Hannity.

And according to Joe Scarbourough, others in his own party and H. Clinton ; have acted as if he is unhinged and that they were shocked or surprised by what he has been saying (in debates) instead of dismissing him like Reagan did to Carter; which he feels is the better way to deal with his crazy.

<@188697047153508353> They have a contact us section on their official website, with a category listed as "feedback." I think for us as something we can do, we can send a message to them asking to keep their advertisement team ontop of ads such as this one, and how critical it was to Bush's victory back in the year 200. Al Gore was just 500 votes short of winning Florida, and his failure in this was likely due to ads like the one mentioned above.

To all online engagers; There is going to be an unreasonable amount of misinformation relating to the debate. During the DNC, Elon Musk ran ads calling Kamala a communist with a radical agenda. He will do the same with the debate, and that’s the tip of the iceberg. Let’s kick it into overdrive for the next few days in particular

Hey team, for those of us using Reach to campaign, we really need content around the debate and the economy. Especially Trump’s recent Tariff Nation comment

2024-09-09T13:47:28.683+00:00 by lil’ GZY [ eikocherry ] avatar

For example, really great clip from Morning Joe explaining this— people thought inflation was bad, literally everything we consume will have a surcharge under Trump. We need more messaging and focus on the economy and how Trump would only make it worse — but make it tangible for the voter

And his deportation and replacing income tax with tariffs. It’s the wackiest economic platform in history. what he'll do the fed and dollar too

educate people about the numbers. It’s 10% for everything from every country (60% for china) which is a $3000 tax hike for every family

Yes; Trump's plan to "pay" for everything is to raise tariffs... but that doesn't cost the other countries anything, just makes imported goods more expensive

Thanks for the heads up, CricketMom! It's not just you. Some of the more popular lives and progressive-leaning creators are being mass reported. For example, The Meidas Touch Network's official TT page was just restored via community outreach and behind-the-scenes legal scuffling. The Good News: Should you receive a CGV, you can appeal and, more often than not, the content will be restored. The Meh News: Even the best of us might forget to use softer/alternate language for "adult" themes or subjects in the heat of the moment. Examples of alternative language can include: Unaliving, the skull emoji, the water gun emoji or pew-pew, self-deletion, pig latin, and/or smooshing syllables. Lastly, take heart! The candidate campaign has had at least 18-months to prepare for the run so it may seem overwhelming or more organized (SPOILER: They're not); compare that with what we've cobbled together in a handful of weeks. We got this! We keep going.

Hi! I’m excited about President Harris! But want to make sure my online efforts are helpful! I join many Tik Tok Lives and join panels encouraging people to vote for her and debating her policies. Many people are just trolling. But some people say we have changed their minds. Obviously, who knows whats true. Many questions are: Is there in data that shows how TT can be impactful in elections? If so, how? What age is the most difficult from the campaign to reach?

i honestly worry/pity him. knowing what i know from seeing what i've seen, there was a time he was a jovial, happy child. now he seems hollow, like a puppet that repeats what it hears. i think as he grew up, that happy child was reduced down to what we see now, which is a man that struggles to connect to the world around him and fixates on what he knows -- an old 50's image of a 'traditional nuclear family' that doesn't really exist.

I'm not a shrink but I do think that he might have some of these struggles because of his own childhood. Look at things that are out there on his upbringing (his Wikipedia page is a good resource) and you'll understand why I say this.

How are we responding to Trump saying it is "CHEATING" to use podium steps/lifts? This obviously seems like an attempt by Trump to control a narrative that Kamala is a cheater so if they appear to be the same height from the outset of the debate his followers will already be engaged in a lie with him. This seems like an appropriate thing to call out and get ahead of. Is there any place to find the oofficial campaign messaging on this topic? I also cannot see it mentioned anywhere on the ABC website so I am assuming this was not an agreed upon rule.

Haitians in Springfield OH: Thanks for the posts and fact checks. I pushed back on a Heritage Foundation post today that said Kamala brought Haitians here illegally. Here are my responses: Here's some good news - it turns out that reports of crimes by Haitians in Springfield are not true. Deputy Dir of Public Safety says: I think it's sad that some people are using this as an opportunity to spread hate or spread fear. We get these reports 'the Haitians are killing ducks in a lot of our parks' or 'the Haitians are eating vegetables right out of the aisle at the grocery store'. And we haven't really seen any of that. It's really frustrating. As a community, it's not helpful as we try to move forward. https://npr.org/2024/08/12/nx-s1-5055784/immigration-vance-trump-migration-president-migrants-election-ohio">https://npr.org/2024/08/12/nx-s1-5055784/immigration-vance-trump-migration-president-migrants-election-ohio Hi @Heritage - here's some info you might want to think about. Amidst the challenges of accommodating so many new neighbors, some Republicans think the GOP messaging on immigration & jobs is "way off base." Republican CEO of a Springfield plant says: "I think this whole notion of migrants taking American jobs is hogwash. That's spoken like a true person that has never made a payroll or tried to, you know, run a business.” His company was profoundly affected by labor shortages & 30 new Haitian workers were vital to filling the gap. “I mean, the fact of the matter is, without the Haitian associates that we have, we had trouble filling these positions.”https://npr.org/2024/08/12/nx-s1-5055784/immigration-vance-trump-migration-president-migrants-election-ohio">https://npr.org/2024/08/12/nx-s1-5055784/immigration-vance-trump-migration-president-migrants-election-ohio

Here is another response I gave today --[ note that most people don't know unauthorized migrants pay lots in taxes without getting the benefits]: The Feds used U.S. law (Code §1254a) to give non-criminal Haitians Temporary Protected Status (TPS). DHS determined in 2021: “Haiti is currently experiencing serious security concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses, crippling poverty & lack of basic resources.” TPS was extended because Haiti is ruled by violent gangs. I hope you'll find compassion for the people of Haiti. As for being a burden, migrants help our economy mightily – doing work unwanted by others & paying billions in taxes each year. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1254a&num=0&edition=prelim https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/#:~:text=Key%20Findings,to%20state%20and%20local%20governments

Hey everybody. I have an intuition about how to win this thing and it's real simple. STOP SAYING T***P. DON'T SAY HIS NAME. EVER. JUST DON'T. Call him Donald, Donny, Don, the former president, 45, the sex convict, the distinguished felon from New York, the man who's name sounds like plump,... whatever, just do not ever say his name. It's a brand created by grandpa Drumpf. He puts it on everything. It's on the top of buildings written in our skylines. It is his ego writ large and the most important thing to him. You and I have the power to take that away from him by refusing to speak it. Attention is the currency of our age and everytime you say his name you are paying him. If we all stop using the T word, he will go nuts and make a mistake. The algorithms will suddenly stop promoting him as much if the name drops in usage. It won't come up as much in search if no one is saying it. He has reduced politics to a simple name recognition contest. Take that name away and he's nothing. I guarantee if Kamala doesn't say the T word once in the debate, she wins, and he will be visibly shaken. Your voice is your power. His name is his power. Use your silence to end his violence. Never say T....

Hi CMoney! This is a good opportunity to ask some follow up questions and figure out what is important to the responder. For example: Ask them in what ways their life has been more difficult under the Biden/Harris administration. Don't be afraid to ask them to get specific about policy. Sometimes, they'll list off a bunch of things right off the bat (or try to steam roll you). Another technique is to ask them which is the most important or to take the points one at a time. From there, apply the ABCs (Acknowledge their concern, Bridge with facts, Connect with a story of your own). Lastly, you may find that folks are a little fuzzy on how our government works and what the VP is consitutionally empowered to do. Good Luck!

Speaking with someone online who was spouting off about the “Haitian immigrant crisis in Springfield Ohio” posting easily refuted information. Tried to dispute everything they said with easily verifiable facts and got hit with “Why do you keep parroting leftist msm talking points”. Which on one hand makes me laugh that they are back door admitting to indisputable fact being a “talking point”. But also really makes me realize how much this election means and how hard we will have to fight to get the message out to the very few people left who can see reason and be swayed.

replying to 2024-09-10T17:49:58.802+00:00 by PokeWilly Speaking with someone online who was spouting off about the “Haitian immigrant crisis in Springfield Ohio” posting easily refuted information. Tried to dispute everything they said with easily verifiable facts and got hit with “Why do you keep parroting leftist msm talking points”. Which on one hand makes me laugh that they are back door admitting to indisputable fact being a “talking point”. But also really makes me realize how much this election means and how hard we will have to fight to get the message out to the very few people left who can see reason and be swayed.

NGL: It can be exhausting having these conversations and witnessing the disconnect in (or near) real time. It can feel like a broken record or running on a treadmill (and not getting anywhere). More often than not, these are teachable moments to those who are reading along or watching silently in the background. If nothing else, the exchange provides a counter-example of a behavior no one wants. What helps me is to remember I am speaking to someone who is scared and when we're scared, it's really tough to take a beat and think things through. Depending upon who it is, I have had some success getting really granular and breadcrumbing those steps away from fear to something a little more balanced. It's a dance between outreach and protecting your peace. I get by with frequent breaks and lots of snacks

It’s so exhausting. It often doesn’t help I purposely “wade into the deep end” as it were with the folks I choose to engage with online. But they are the loudest and my hope is like you said. Going after the most extreme seems to be the loudest way to be heard. And hopefully someone else who reads or listens to what I’m saying hears something they need to. It’s just unfortunate that it seems you have to engage with the biggest extremes to try and actually have any reach in what you say.

Honestly it helps that I used to be the kind of person who loved to start/jump into an internet flame war and just go in hard and fast. Definitely modified my approach as I’ve gotten smarter about politics and the internet. But that ability/drive to go in at any time helps me keep up the drive to try and spread the word far and wide.

yep, same. after some good mental health development, i realized that a lot of shouting doesn't really teach anyone anything, but being calm when someone else is screaming is _also_ surprisingly ineffective but every once in a while you find someone who's wanting to listen, but might be too afraid to ask. or might be politically illiterate (as is most people i'd imagine). i found my best success with those who had a specific concern/minority and addressing that to get them interested.

Hey, not to go all California hippie woo woo on everyone, but can I suggest that we all here try today to reflect and refract positive energy and put that out as what VP Harris has as the psychic force to counter the (yes exhausting) negging of the other side? Or you could call it a prayer if that's more your thing. But maybe just until the debate is over we could have conversations about joy and loving our country? From a physics perspective, you want to amplify a message by adding sound waves tovether. So we want her to have positive messages that she's amplifying to the rest of the country. We know who he is. Maybe they don't know who she is. We can talk about difficulty after the debate (I don't want to minimize reality). But for now, she can preach to the choir, we amplify her message. We can sing, she can amplify our voice. Maybe people could add a prayer or a joyous positive message?

I hope Harris addresses the facts that Trump already had 4 years to fix the border. He is responsible for spending 8.4 trillion dollars, 30%of our national debt, yet he couldn’t fix the border. The money his administration spent is a crime. My money. Your money. Go Harris!

There are some nice new additions to the store but only one thing that says “Not Going Back” and that is a men’s muscle shirt. I’m a 70 yrs old woman. I would settle for sticker with it but you don’t have that, so I give up. I will go make my donation and not buy anything. I have a Biden-Harris shirt and a Harris-Walz shirt. Really wanted something with “not going back” cause this is my 2nd time around fighting for o women’s rights to health care. So thank you for the new additions but if they are gonna add more please add NOT GOING BACK. Thanks. 🤍🩷💙

Not sure if this is where to ask for help but my friend is actively protesting against the genocide of Palestine and considers Harris a no-go for the issue. I know this is common thinking but today she called her a “cop funded by Israel and will keep sending bombs to them for the genocide of the Palestinian people”. I don’t know how to engage with her on this. My biggest concern is that she won’t vote for anyone which will benefit Trump due to how our current system is structured and funded. Any tips on how to engage welcome! I tried searching the chat but it just brought up Jill Stein stuff which isn’t relevant here. Thanks

I definitely want to leave the floor open to other volunteers who I know are navigating similar conversations to share their tips and experiences, but I can offer a few thoughts! In general, keep in mind that our goal is to engage people who are unsure, need more information, or lean towards supporting Kamala and Democrats. It's okay to not engage here if you don't feel like the conversation will be productive. If you do choose to engage, I'd focus on sharing your personal reasons for supporting Kamala and emphasizing her dedication to moving our country forward -- opening up the opportunity for dialogue across international and domestic issues in a way that Trump has made clear will not happen if he's elected to a second term.

If I may step in here because I'm rather worried about things. While this page has nothing about the Palestine issue, I do think everyone here should make themselves acquainted with the newly rolled out issues page on the campaign's website because it might help you with talking to friends about things. Also, watch some of the recaps of the debate and clips online and use what she said as talking points. https://kamalaharris.com/issues/

I texted w/ my dad the entire debate. Mom and dad (80 yo) usually cancel out each other's vote. This year is different. Also, our oldest is ready to vote and is engaged...had their second debate watch party of the year last night with friends. So our little pocket of 4 voters (really just +2 for dem) just grew to 5 and all are aboard the Harris/Walz train! I also texted a friend "who never votes" and said "Are you watching? We need you. NC is in play this year." They were! And they are voting!

Best clap back I’ve seen today. “Even if they weren’t headphones she was still wearing $800 designer earrings. How can the average middle class American vote for someone who has the money to waste on such expensive jewlery” The clapback: “Who can Americans relate to more. A late stage career professional wearing jewelry to the most important event in their life so far? Or a billionaire who lives in a country club mansion and owner of skyscrapers?”

Answer to this: We didn't demand a rematch. We simply said we'd do it again if Trump is up for it. We need more light on you and your policies. That's why Harris invited the nation to attend YOUR rallies (hint: they'll leave early too).

This is from my neighbor. Quite encouraging. From my brother, a high school teacher in Pennsylvania... I teach a Junior senior section of American government at 8 AM, and I had one student ask me how to register to vote, so I sent them the link and got 25 more asking for it. I decided to innocently ask what their motivation was, and it was cross between the debate but mostly Taylor Swift got their attention.

Tell your friend it is either Harris or Trump. Sitting out means they DONT CARE AT ALL about Palestine. Then ask them to do their research and figure out which candidate's policies will ease global tensions so peace can be acheived. Which candidate unilaterally supports (the criminal) Benjamin Netanyahu's terror campaign? (hint: Trump. Biden and Harris admonished him)

Hi Lorena! May I suggest encouraging your friend to vote down ballot? I also have some folks among my circles who are firm on a POTUS vote, but who are uncomfortable with not voting at all. I have had some traction explaining that a down ballot vote is a way to develop the next set of candidates while holding the current ones accountable. Good Luck!

Taylor Swift: Most Swifties may not know that Taylor endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020. And they probably don’t know what she’s said about Donald Trump. I posted this on X-Twitter a couple weeks ago: Hey @Swifties4 Kamala, you know Tay-Tay does not talk politics much. Do you know her talk of Trump? Trump stoked violence online during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. She responded: "After stoking the fires of white supremacy & racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? 'When the looting starts the shooting starts'??? We will vote you out in November." https://linktr.ee/swifties4kamala https://bit.ly/3X3XFXy

This is something that I thought maybe I should talk to you guys about since we are the ones that are working a lot with getting information out there online. But has anybody ever notice how it seems that people don't have this damn about how a bill becomes law? Reason why I'm saying this is because if you notice during the debate when Trump said to Harris about going down the Washington and getting joe to sign a thing to shut the border and what not which theoretically he could do with an executive order people think that that's all it takes to solve anything it's just for the president to sign a piece of paper when we all know that a large majority of the time you can't do anything without Congress. I was thinking about this because I just finished the phone bank for about an outreach group that I'm on the board of and a lady brought up about how a lot of people don't realize that with a lot of these laws and a lot of these bills and whatnot it takes Congress to approve them before the president signs off on them.

replying to 2024-09-11T22:15:23.402+00:00 by Jalal [DC] Do we have any content or messaging on trumps foreign policy record? I hear from a lot of people in the Muslim community about how Trump kept us out of foreign conflicts and wars. Which is not true at all. But I haven’t seen any messaging on this.

I don't know any explicit messaging from the campaign on that, but he did have 4 years to pull out of Afghanistan and left it for Biden... and then used it as a political cudgel. Harris said something during the debate yesterday: "And as of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century." The fact that he lifted the Obama era restrictions on civilian casualties basically in every single case and almost started a hot war with Iran seem like good points to form a message around. Not sure how to form that beyond the mere facts. Data on additional civilian deaths I guess? This Vox article might be helpful for anyone interested in crafting a message. https://www.vox.com/23677654/trump-foreign-policy-revisionist-history-dove-anti-imperial

This article brings up a lot of great points. I’ve been thinking specifically about how Trump sent more trooos into Afghanistan, increased civilian casualties by 300%, increased drone strikes, pulled us out of Iran deal. It’s just easier to message these things if I had a graphic I could post on social media.

In the first training I took today, we were encouraged to map our online communities. Mine are mostly about gaming. On Facebook and Reddit. These communities are vastly male, like me. Unlike me, they are also vastly reactionary. If I go to the Reach library and just start bombing these groups with pro-Harris images, I will just get myself banned. Clearly, that's not how it's done. I want to learn how, though. Can you offer me any particular guidance?

You can keep an ear open when you see a blatant lie use Reach to find a counter argument. Additionally I've created a burner (account I don't care about) to retweet posts that are put out in the twitter community notes room (try to use hashtags when doing so)

Our Community Guidelines unite us with a shared commitment to elect VP Kamala Harris to the US presidency. Our vision is to create a positive welcoming space for everyone. There’s lots of work to do. Let’s do something—together. This is a volunteer community where we talk about volunteering events and tactics to elect Kamala Harris to the presidency. Also, in the spirit of hope and joy please keep discussions light-hearted.

We prioritize our attention on engaging people/communities that are unsure, need more information, or lean towards supporting Kamala and Democrats in general. It protects your time, energy, and joy, and we know that we have the best chance of welcoming, informing, and persuading those individuals into supporting the Harris-Walz campaign. We don't want you to waste your energy going back and forth with trolls -- we're moving forward and we want to exemplify that with all the interactions we have <:blueheart:1252803082849488956>

Good Day All ☀️ Last night debate was good! Trump showed his true self and when someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE IT. BELIEVE THEM. We all know our assignment. Vote BLUE all the way to the ballot box 🗳️🇺🇸💙 Trump never answered the debate questions. He didn't speak on his policies/plans for the future. What he did do was attack America with fear, (crime, illegal border crossing, racism, division, discord, chaos, economy collapse, people eating dogs and cats, etc...). The world 🌎 will not collapse. America 🇺🇸 will NOT fall apart as Trump spoke. Trump attacked America, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and others. Not one good thing did he speak on how to make America great. When we fight we Win!

Oh really?. Cool! I found on the reach website on windows it's easier to take a partial screenshot with the snip it tool than it is to download the photo and then save it and then upload it to social media. With the partial screenshot you just take a shot of the photo you need and then just paste it right to social media. I've had a much easier time once I figured this out!

Periodic reminder while you're out there boosting content: mass amounts of negative comments that have seemingly too many upvotes too quickly on any platform means MAGA are scared, weak, and outnumbered, causing them to have directed a bot attack against that particular piece of media.

I think it's worth noting that the last time there was a gov't shutdown during an election season was during the Reagan administration, and the tables are completely turned from then. It didn't work out well for Congress then, and I don't think it's going to work out for them now, either.

Friend, the national polls don't matter. Only swing states do. But in the last 2 elections, 2020 and 2022, the polls were wrong in swing states anywhere from 2-9% per NYTimes. Anything could happen in this election. Anything. We have to work like we're behind 10%. Because no one knows. That's the truth.

Yes, definitely! Yesterday Kamala said we are the underdogs in this fight to win. And as she also likes to say "We love hard work. Hard work is good work! So let's get to work." ❤️ The more calls, texts, and engagements we have, the more we will move the needle!

I have to say, the rhetoric around the Haitian community from this party is absolutely disgusting and simply racist — it needs to be rebuffed and not normalized. I get it, it sounds “funny”. But it’s not to Haitians; a people who were systematically targeted for genocide in DR barely less than 70 years ago, even though they were the backbone of the sugar cane industry and allowed to work there. This is what Trump and his people do— They are the bullies

looking at their site alone they're legitimate, but the text claiming to void state data isn't something a PAC can do. not just block, i'd find a way to report that. it's misleading at best to claim power over someone's voter registration status then give a donation link like that's the only way to keep it.

That message you received looks suspicious, especially with the urgent language and unfamiliar links. It's often a good idea to avoid clicking on any links or providing personal information in texts like that. Scammers sometimes use tactics like this to trick people into sharing private information. You might want to report the text and block the number. If you're ever unsure about a message, reaching out directly to trusted sources or organizations can help verify its legitimacy.

It’s not social media related, but I my neighbor brought this (Springfield) up at the apartment complex garbage can. Showed her the actual tweet and gave her the facts; she was not impressed (“That’s just a rumor!”) the presidential candidate spread that in a national debate. Gives me hope he may end up more hurt by this with undecideds than helped.

My coffee or tea order. Earl grey with cream and no sugar is Captain Picard's. I do like it. I sometimes order a Chai late in a cafe, however I usually go for either a mocha or a late. Usually a mocha, if I have not had their mocha yet. (I like to try to try coffee mochas at small indy coffeehouses, or order a Chai late there if I can't?) However, perhaps it is Latees , that is my most common order. ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕

Hi Eric! I am sorry there are people in your comment sections being disingenuous and worse. My suggestion is to resubmit and to take a screenshot of the comment. Be sure to include the date(s) and time(s). Same goes for your initial report. Try resubmitting the report again with the screenshots. After taking the screenshots and resubmitting, delete the comment to protect your peace. While my personal preference is to keep such things/not to dirty delete, I understand that deleting and moving on is sometimes the better option in the long run. Good Luck!

Take screen shots. Keep submitting reports to FB. If it’s super threatening, call your local police. If you have the person’s phone number or address, they might call them and let them know they’ve made (whatever the threat amounts to) and could be charged now, but they usually give a warning. If you don’t know the person, the police will take a report, but won’t likely do anything about it. Also, feel free to reach out to me privately for how to lock down your FB to only friends and family.

Please feel free to share with the link below “We Can Stand Together” By Bruce & Michelle Marshall ©2024 "When some turn a blind eye to justice, and bury their heads in the sand; We could squander this opportunity don't let it slip through our hands. Now I'm feeling a sea change upon us, I ask is it pre-ordained? If we don't take action and face all the facts, we could be forever changed. CHORUS We can stand together, Give our future this chance,. Will we welcome a new world just and fair, where do you stand. We can stand for freedom, for everyone in the land. Our Children will carry that mantle if given the chance. Now some say it's part of a cycle, some say it's part of a scheme; Some say it's fate now old mother nature is coming apart at the seams. Now most of us want all the same things, a world without bias and strife. The same opportunity once and for all is every American's right. CHORUS We can stand together, Give our future this chance,. Will we welcome a new world just and fair, where do you stand. We can stand for freedom, for everyone in the land. Our children will carry that mantle if given the chance. So go blame society, go say your piece and cherish your deep held beliefs. And all that had mattered got all torn and tattered, history always repeats. When some turn a blind eye to justice and then quote scripture and verse; When hypocrisy rules we call out the fools and we all take a turn for the worse. We can stand together, Give our future this chance; Would we welcome a new world just and fair, where do you stand? We can stand for freedom, for everyone in the land. Our children will carry that mantle if given the chance. We can stand together we can strengthen the ties. We can't let this new found common ground get tossed by the wayside. We can stand for freedom. We can stand for freedom." https://youtu.be/vEKRsmhsu8E

We need a meme of a young black woman with a cell phone advocating being part of a phone bank. I just spoke to her the other day in NC while on my phone bank. I have posted the one above on my social media pages but we need another version too. Thank you.

I have not - I signed up twice, but life got in the way - is there a recording of any of these trainings? I asked the question because I created a meme and it was taken down because it wasn't promoting voting or fundraising. If they thought it was lousy, I get it, but now I'm just confused.

No worries, we have trainings multiple times a week so feel free to sign up for the next one that's convenient for you -- we have one tonight at 8pm ET if you're available! We also have sessions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday -- you can sign up and see all times here: https://events.democrats.org/event/615101/ For memes, we try to keep all of our content engaging, uplifting, and accurate.

I posted a meme in FB that I got from Pantsuit Nation that has gotten some good conversation going. It's about how tariffs are paid by the American consumer. Someone refuted that, because technically, yes, they are not directly paid by the American consumer, but then several people pointed out how small, private businesses may have the option to not raise prices on foreign goods, publicly traded ones don't ever use that option. **70% of people believe tariffs are paid by the foreign companies/countries.** That means there are Democrats out there who believe this. Let's get out some information on tariffs for the people who think his orangeness has better economic policy than Kamala.

Totally agree. It is a huge area where we can support her. He lies, she comes back with facts. She calls it the Trump tax. But I do think people need to understand tariffs. (Because I don't think he does and he keeps repeating it)

Yep! A new poll from Reuters/Ipsos put numbers to this: "Some 56% of registered voters in the Sept. 11-12 poll said they were more likely to support a candidate backing a new 10% tariff, or tax, on all imports, as well as a 60% tariff on imports from China....The poll found one in three Democrats said they were more likely to vote for a candidate backing higher tariffs and steep levies on Chinese goods, compared with two-thirds who said they were less likely to do so. Independent voters mirrored the wider electorate." https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/16/donald-trump-tariffs-2024-election-poll/75246207007/

<@225877156247502850> Maybe this team could brainstorm some less work-intensive, quick online content campaigns around the economy that we could scale outward...and maybe we could apply lo-fi "game" tactics like quiz questions etc. Keep it simple, you know? A few campaign-endorsed key points we wanna really hammer home, a few key myths to debunk. I'd be totally up for joining an ideation session on this, if the team leads here think the general idea makes sense/is appropriate.

Oh, just to be clear I've switched the idea for now away from a game-game, to more of a "could we pull together and align around a small online engagement campaign around key economic points and assumptions, and make that content coordinated, fun, and interesting?" Could be memes, video clips, quiz questions...far simpler than my initial ambitious idea.

From the Reuters/Ipsos article, I pulled out these economics issues we could work with: A) **Inflation**: whose plan will lower it best, and how; B) **Tariffs**: how they work, impact on prices and consumers; C) **Tax cuts**: who's offering which cuts (overtime, tips, corporate, etc.), and who benefits; D) **National debt**: whose plan addresses it best; E) **Overall business climate**: whose plan will best drive growth, innovation, support, and how

With seven weeks till the election, we could focus on one of those five topics per week, sharing out memorable, interesting, engaging content, and leave two weeks for "wild card." Volunteers could pick their favorite topics of the group to focus on, too. Many ways to coordinate. What would be the next step here—start with the campaign issues page, draft a list, then add some sub-points and "fun ideas to drive engagement" to each of the five topics? Please note I've done this kind of work before, and am 100% committed to producing messaging that aligns with the overall campaign and existing messaging.

It can be as simple as $6,000 child tax credit for families with kids under 1, $25,000 tax credit for down payment for first time homebuyers, $50,000 deduction for small businesses and startups

Yep, straight from her stump speeches and platform. I was thinking about how to message these numbers to make them "more real" to social media audiences. Like a post, asking people: "Kamala Harris wants to give Americans a $6K child tax credit...how would that benefit your family, or families you know?" People could respond, and from their answers we could collect some useful data/feedback for the campaign.

This is a bit off-topic. I am designing banners to take to Trump rallies and post them outside. Simple messages such as 'Choose Country' or "Choose Democracy". I need to have a strong link to the Harris-Walz campaign on the banners. i.e. Pictures of Kamela Harris and Tim Walz. The pictures need to be high resolution (the banners will be big) and with transparent background. I am sure the campaign media / graphic design office has material like that. Can anyone here connect me?

2024-09-17T17:04:37.22+00:00 by Alan Chaulet (MA) [ thecoolsponge ] avatar

I think showing how they compare and contrast to trump's platform. We have to prepare for people being like how can we afford these things and be like see here how everything kamala proposes combined is half the price of trump's tax cut

Thanks so much, Gabrielle. 🙂 I actually don't have any social media communities anymore besides LinkedIn, so whatever I add to the doc Alan created will be for him and others here to use if they want (I'll post on LI). And I'm abroad without a US phone number, so there's some friction for me in joining sessions. I have a few years of PR, comms, and comms engagement experience so I'll leverage that.

During the debate, I posted this quote from Harris on Mastodon – and it was by far the one that got the most engagement. (I only started my account in July and have about 20 followers, so getting over 30 boosts and 50 likes is a lot.) Problem is, I didn't get her quote quite right (this is what I remembered in real time). The transcript is a lot wordier (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/harris-trump-presidential-debate-transcript/story?id=113560542). Can you point me to some similar quotes I could share? I want to emphasize this kind of unity message.

The medical community is weighing in on the effects of restrictions on reproductive care, and the effects are profoundly negative: https://www.medpagetoday.com/obgyn/abortion/111867?xid=nl_mpt_morningbreak2024-09-10&mh=91ff01622cf59cee019769d5b50f5957&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBreak_091024&utm_term=NL_Gen_Int_Daily_News_Update_active

It's mixed IMO. He says she "nailed it," but also undercuts that with comments about "the puppet master running the strings." He can't give her full credit for her accomplishments, can't bring himself to say that she, on her own, is a winner. But maybe this is the best we can ever hope for, from someone like him.

replying to 2024-09-18T04:03:53.517+00:00 by Murad Nayal I have put together a quick analysis to show that it is absurd to blame biden for inflation. an angle I don't see much covered anywhere media or by the campaign. I can use some help spreading this around medium: https://medium.com/@thrilled_denim_sardine_584/did-biden-cause-post-covid-inflation-in-the-us-9facfb720c5a facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/oiKM8AxhSkY6Sje8/ 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

Took a closer look and have drafted about a dozen social media messages focused on inflation stats and facts, including some that quote your blog post + link. Do you want to take a look? <@353287477601107988> could share the link to our G-Doc with you. As I think I noted in the news channel, we will also draft messaging on tax cuts, business climate, tariffs, and national debt. The idea is to have a ready-made place of copy-and-paste-able messaging folks can tweak and share. Would you be interested in helping with that?

Yes for sure. A lot of people don’t even get the chance to see positive news, especially those who watch Fox. Hopefully it gets them to think “Maybe the economy isn’t that bad” on their own without being told by a political campaign. I hope it works.

Trump's Health/science Record - Thanks much for the article links to Trump's record on reproductive health and healthcare generally. There are articles in professional journals I like to cite - they are rated as more objective/credible than media sources so that helps when posting community notes on twitter. Amazingly, two of the most prestigious journals are so scared about a possible Trump return that they have recently published editorials. Several journal articles in past few years give concrete evidence of Trump costing lives due to pandemic mismanagement - just one example here. Dr Francis Collins was just on msnbc saying number of lives lost needlessly was over 200,000 [clips available later]. His new book is 'The Road to Wisdom --- how to combat disinformation.' https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307737 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vote-for-kamala-harris-to-support-science-health-and-the-environment/ https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32545-9/abstract

Stepparents and Adoptive Parents for Harris - Can this be a thing? Or are there already any graphics with this theme? I just saw Sarah Huckabee Sanders' jab at Harris for not having biological children, which is just the latest comment like that from MAGA leaders. These infuriate me. My son is not biologically mine, but it is the honor of my life to raise him on behalf of my friend who died in childbirth. Women and men who step up to be parents deserve respect and support, not insults. There are so many people like me who have welcomed children into their hearts and are working every day to raise them to be the best people possible. I would love to make that part of my outreach.

Something like 40 to 50% of our agricultural workers are undocumented immigrants, and tRump wants to round them up and "send them back." Food prices will go through the roof.

From my Twitter posts. To be fair on the national debt comparison, a lot under Trump was bipartisan legislation https://www.crfb.org/papers/trump-and-biden-national-debt NEW REPORT: On economic measures, “Black Americans fared well by historical standards during Donald Trump’s presidency but fared even better under President Joe Biden.” For Latinos, “Biden edged out Trump in three key statistics: inflation-adjusted wages, homeownership and health insurance coverage.” #DemCast https://bit.ly/3WhR4cx Immigrants crossing the US southern border are not taking union jobs – **Graus and Uribe 2-17-24 https://bit.ly/3SvyT14 “Economy and labor experts told PolitiFact immigrants who recently crossed the U.S. border likely aren’t taking Michigan’s union jobs. Instead, newly arrived migrants are likelier to work in jobs Americans don’t want to do, such as day laborer positions. These aren’t union jobs. There is a correlation between an increase in immigration and a drop in unionization. However, experts said that’s not evidence that immigrants are taking union jobs.” https://wapo.st/3Xq1ZAq Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022 https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/

I'll continue working tomorrow, "tax cuts" and "debt." If anyone's knowledgeable on those topics, would love the help.

Everything Harris wants to do combined is 2.5. Lots of people say we can't afford what she wants to do but it is way more affordable than his and actually helps middle class Americans

Does anyone have a good link about African Americans in the economy Trump v Biden? And is there some about the stimulus payments? Some Black voters lean Trump because he sent them "Stimmies" because remember he held them up to be sure they were all signed with his signature

Here is one comparison: On economic measures, “Black Americans fared well by historical standards during Donald Trump’s presidency but fared even better under President Joe Biden.” For Latinos, “Biden edged out Trump in three key statistics: inflation-adjusted wages, homeownership and health insurance coverage.” #DemCast https://bit.ly/3WhR4cx

I don't know of a Catholic national call -- there is a great group Vote Common Good. It "is inspiring, energizing, and mobilizing people of faith to make the common good their voting criteria. And, we train and support candidates to connect with Evangelical and Catholic voters" . They have videos of national bus tour rallies and do postcards to Republicans of faith. https://www.votecommongood.com/ Another effective group is Network Advocates for Catholic Social Justice with nuns on the bus https://networkadvocates.org/

I can work on this after I get the economic content in our G-Doc in a good state. Meantime, I would point out that hundreds of ex-GOP officials and staff (and counting) have backed Harris, including just yesterday 111 ex-GOP officials—defense secretaries, national security leaders, etc.—who call Trump "unfit to serve." Trump's "strategy" is to surrender to Putin and Xi. Harris noted in the debate that he's stated publicly he doesn't mind if Putin does "whatever the hell he wants" to NATO allies. Lastly, you might post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6oQXN2WNtU

Trump's tie with Putin is dangerous to America's safety. I would worry about America's safety more than WW3. Let Russia take Ukraine, let China take Taiwan. America will lose the status of World Leader forever. Who would dare to trust America, when America abandon its longtime ally. Trump is so weak to surrender to Putin. NATO is our shield against Russia's advance. Trump will not support NATO. A weak NATO will cause harm to America's safety. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/trump-can-t-withdraw-from-nato--but-he-could--quiet-quit https://quillette.com/2024/09/17/nato-and-the-return-of-trump-ukraine-russia-china-taiwan/ https://www.dw.com/en/will-trump-or-harris-make-or-break-nato/video-70269239

Hi Bre -- Very quickly you can fact check your question about CNN. Please do that before posing such questions. Turns out that questions like that can often be the source of false rumors [Elon does that all the time]. Please see discussion about cnn in twitter-community-notes this week.

As a younger person who cares about Gaza, yes this right here You’re never going to convince someone who is steadfast in their beliefs that her policies on it are good, but you can convince them that they’re not that bad and Trump’s would be worse

On this point, using the state and congress levers might be an option. State govts have a lot of influence upward on the federal govt (look at where we are right now with secs of state, election process, etc.). And as skadreamer notes, the congress counts for a lot.

<@1280619651029798924> I realized I had to change my response to Pluto because it was a bit off-point so I'll repeat my original comment here: I know friends who vote mainly because of the judiciary -- they don't want to see extremist, right-wing judges installed. To add to that: a lot of our rights are caught up and getting trashed in the courts. We all know about SCOTUS, but some of the circuits (especially 5th, TX/MS/LA) are being used by folks like "Leon" Musk to judge-shop and get their way.

Just to wrap up my thoughts for <@708139387581497416> : state courts and govt bodies saved us a bunch of times in 2020 during the onslaught of BS lawsuits by DJT and his team to overturn the elections and the will of millions of voters nationwide. We need fair, ethical, rule-of-law judges, legislatures, and local officials every step of the way, or else our lives are going to be a LOT different. Hopefully that can get some of your friends to reconsider! 🙂

It would be nice to have there be viable third parties, that's not where we are and if the greens were serious about their policy, they would join the progressive sect of Democrats, and try to pass voter reform laws so that elections can be more competitive, but it seems as if they are more interested in self-martyrdom then actually trying to change the world that we live in

replying to 2024-09-19T15:16:08.896+00:00 by skadreamer I used this line of thought on a progressive recently that worked: Bernie Sanders changed the Dem party more by running in a primary than any green party candidate ever has. If you want to move the dems left then vote in primaries. Voting green accomplishes nothing.

It would be nice if we had more than 2 parties, but yes I agree voting 3rd party doesn’t help at this time.

On the Palestine issue, Kamala Harris has been in a tricky spot. She's the VP, not the P. And she's part of a team she didn't pick. But people act otherwise. Biden has been strongly pro-Israel for decades, regardless of the details (their govt, etc.). She cannot undermine him, especially now. I wish people were more understanding of this.

Actually it would be nice if we had an election system that had no parties, in the sense that there are no laws giving precedence to parties.

It is a very complicated topic with no simple solution. Combine that with how personal people feel about it, makes it a landmine either way. Not a fun place to be in.

The logic that people should realize is that Palestinians tend to support a two-state solution, Kamala supports the option that is most popular to Palestinians. Our choices, as far as Palestine goes, are two State solution, where Palestine gets their sovereignty but Israel also is allowed to continue to exist, or one state solution where Israel completely annexes Palestine because Donald Trump gives them the green light. People argue Non-Stop that a Harris presidency would be just as bad for Palestine as a trump presidency, those people do not understand what they are talking about at all.

I am hoping that Kamala Harris’s campaign counter attacks that Trump’s campaign is advertising about electric vehicles being the only vehicle Kamala will allow to be built. Of course I know that must be nonsense, but it’s done with a fear tactic that the automotive workers will lose their jobs. Here in Michigan that is huge.

No, it won’t. The biggest indicators of a country’s fall into authoritarianism and/or how likely people are to be racist are income inequality and access to education (which is also scaled to income). Trump’s death won’t change either. Unless Democrats are willing to risk their big money campaign donations and get serious about it addressing income inequality and the suffering people are experiencing because of it, defeating Trump is nothing more than kicking the can down the road. There are plenty of potential new figureheads in the wings: DeSantis, Greene, Rogan.

Income Inequality has been an issue since the 60s. However, this is about race period and until that real discussion is had than people are going to blame things that they can do something about since black women have the least access to capital but have the most education of any group in the US.

replying to 2024-09-19T15:14:46.203+00:00 by Ethis [FL/NJ] It would be nice to have there be viable third parties, that's not where we are and if the greens were serious about their policy, they would join the progressive sect of Democrats, and try to pass voter reform laws so that elections can be more competitive, but it seems as if they are more interested in self-martyrdom then actually trying to change the world that we live in

I disagree, I think in terms of left-wing third parties in the US, the green party is not a good option because they are single-issue in nature. At this point in US Politics, third parties are basically just activist groups (with the exception of the Libertarians) and as activist groups go, CPUSA and DSA are way better than greens because they are anti-Russia and anticapitalist as well as being pro-environment. Of course, I say this as a socialist so I fully understand if liberals here disagree with that but I think that my perspective as a socialist is relevant in the discussion of left-wing third parties

No. Income inequality is worse (https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/01/09/trends-in-income-and-wealth-inequality/#:~:text=Income%20inequality%20in%20the%20U.S,greater%20than%20in%20peer%20countries).

Hi everyone - question. What resources do we have about immigration - I’ve heard a lot in my network from Latinos who immigrated 30+ years ago and are not happy that “people are being given asylum, and getting housing/$”….tagging it to President Biden specifically and indicating that the “hard” stance on the republican side is attractive.

You can also arrive at the same position with just basic logic, just pose the question: "why would an illegal immigrant commit crime, therefore putting themselves at high risk of deportation?" This demonstrates to people that there is very little motive for "illegals" to have high criminality

It’s other immigrants who have been victims of crime in NY, LA, CA, etc by new immigrants - who see homelessness, harassment on trains, etc - they want to know why they would be getting free housing/$ but not following the rules

Don’t shoot the messenger - just sharing what I’m hearing in my network who are immigrants themselves

2024-09-19T17:54:01.617+00:00 by Capn' Phineas [ captainphineas ] avatar

as for the homelessness point, immigrants put more into the economy per capita than native people and also can't access welfare, so if someone makes a point about illegal immigrants living on welfare, that is plainly false

2024-09-19T17:55:39.574+00:00 by Capn' Phineas [ captainphineas ] avatar

to clarify, that is not a counter to homelessness specifically, just the general idea that immigrants are a drain to the economy

Let me put it to you this way. Person A: followed due process to legally gain status, was away from their family 8 years, worked hard, paid taxes. Sees new immigrant person B: arrives w housing provided, stipend, etc. they just see it as unfair - that’s all. Like what are we doing to endure the system is not abused. There’s some of that it’s not fair mentality

Too many Americans think the economy was better under Trump than Biden-Harris, and we Democrats from top to bottom need to remind the American people of the following facts: There was a net loss of 27 million jobs when Trump was president and Biden added 15.6 million jobs. Even if we exclude the pandemic, Biden still had a gain of 8.8 million jobs while Trump had just 6.7 million jobs. GDP growth was 2.9% under Biden and 2.4% under Trump. The average unemployment rate under Biden was 4.1% and under Trump it was 5%. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics - CNBC on June 29, 2024. Steve Rattner today, Sept. 19, on Morning Joe again pointed out that even if you exclude the pandemic, the economy was actually stronger under Biden-Harris.

If Trump continues with the high tariff rates with imported goods, then even more prices are going to go up, especially gasoline. The "Trump sales tax" is going to cost average middle class families at least $6,000, meanwhile it'll give millionaire families a $300,000 tax cut

my response (when trying to be brief) is "inflation and how much companies charge for goods aren't the same thing. inflation _in general_ has gone down, but how much companies are charging for things like rent or services is going up, while wages have stagnated. nothing is capping the prices that companies can charge for their goods. which is why despite the economy "getting better" and companies are making more money, we're still paying more." it's an extremely crude explanation and not 100% accurate or detailed but it's enough for the average person to understand.

replying to 2024-09-19T17:48:05.253+00:00 by Claudia Buttine Hi everyone - question. What resources do we have about immigration - I’ve heard a lot in my network from Latinos who immigrated 30+ years ago and are not happy that “people are being given asylum, and getting housing/$”….tagging it to President Biden specifically and indicating that the “hard” stance on the republican side is attractive. Would love to engage with facts about what is actually happening

Hi Claudia: What I have discovered out here in these Social Media Streets is folks are misinformed about the difference between an asylum seeker, a refugee, migrant workers/day laborers, and folks whose visas have expired. Some of these people have documents, some don't, and some are in the process of completing their immigration. Asylum is a legal process and I would encourage you to look up 8 USC 1158--and have that handy. (Once someone sets foot on US soil, they can claim asylum. You don't have to go through a port of entry.) The percentage of asylum seekers who are granted asylum in the U.S. varies depending on the specific time frame and the type of asylum case. Here are the key points: - Overall Grant Rate: Historically, about 30-40% of asylum seekers who go through the U.S. immigration system are granted asylum. This includes both affirmative cases (where the seeker is not in removal proceedings) and defensive cases (where asylum is sought as a defense against deportation) - Recent Trends: In recent years, the grant rate has fluctuated. For example, in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, around 46% of asylum seekers were granted asylum. Defensive asylum cases, which make up a larger portion of total cases, typically see a slightly lower grant rate, closer to 39%. - Comparison to Total Applications: While about 70% of asylum seekers may initially pass the "credible fear" screening, which allows them to stay in the U.S. while their case is processed, only about 20-30% ultimately qualify for asylum through the full legal process. These numbers highlight the challenges faced by asylum seekers in navigating the U.S. immigration system, where a significant portion of applicants are ultimately not granted asylum despite being allowed to stay in the country temporarily during the process.

In re: "Open Borders! Trump Closed It!" 1) We are and have been under 8 USC for 60 years and that included during Trump's term. 2) In 2020, Trump had the power under Title 42 to declare a public health emergency. Biden wanted to extend it in anticipation of the processing backlog, but SCOTUS ruled the request unconstitutional since the pandemic was over. 3) The comprehensive border bill authored by R-Langford was shot down in the house because Trump wanted to run on it. Harris wants that bill back on the floor and has stated she will sign it.

Or did you mean Obama's federated Threads account? (Honestly I'm not really sure how this all works, but it seems that people on federated Threads don't see responses from Mastodon?)

I would appreciate any Tumblr advice. Where I live I just don’t feel comfortable with a lot of my acquaintances knowing who I support. But I have a Tumblr called Madamepresidentkamala. I love the reach feature to automatically share important media. But I would appreciate any advice on what’s a good blog profile photo, if I should change the blog name, and the most effective election hashtags

hi! i rarely use tumblr these days, but i still have familiarity. any icon will do but i'd personally pick one of Kamala smiling, or maybe any art that anyone might have made of her (like that lovely 'forward' poster). as far as url change, i'd remove the 'e' between madam and president, since it's not needed (but i'm being nitpicky) other than that, as long as you have it somewhere clear on the profile that you're not actually affiliated with her campaign as an official staffer, i think all is good!

2024-09-20T05:32:20.3+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha [ natashaclare34 ] avatar

Awesome! Thank you. I think I was influenced by the French Madame. I didn’t even realize I had done it.

2024-09-20T05:33:47.193+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

not a problem! it's been a while since i did anything like that for tumblr. and it's understandable, i'm only recalling that when i saw the drone show they did before the debate they spelled it 'madam'. one of those things where English decided to make up its own rules

2024-09-20T05:37:17.873+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha [ natashaclare34 ] avatar

This is what it looks like now. Is there any issue using someone else’s art as my profile? Also, I’ve noticed my last three posts have gotten zero engagement but I usually get at least 50 notes or so. I’m worried I’m shadowbanned or something but I can see see the messages tab

reposting can get some negative attraction, yeah. but reblogging or tagging the original artist helps make up for it. shadowbanning is so hard to figure out too. i have no idea how shadowbanning even works on tumblr. i'm more familiar with it on youtube, surprisingly?

2024-09-20T05:39:49.336+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

2024-09-20T05:41:04.042+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha [ natashaclare34 ] avatar

I posted it very early this morning.

2024-09-20T05:41:39.021+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

hmm. i'd say give it a little longer? and if it doesn't track, maybe removing the image? i don't think it lets you remove the image of an image post though.

2024-09-20T05:42:13.727+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha [ natashaclare34 ] avatar

I know tumblr can reach a lot of people because my other blog has gotten over 600 notes on things.

2024-09-20T05:42:40.037+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha [ natashaclare34 ] avatar

Which is way more interaction than I could ever get on my Instagram or Facebook.

2024-09-20T05:43:06.781+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

it also depends on when it's posted too, but not as much as those other two platforms.

2024-09-20T05:43:41.96+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha [ natashaclare34 ] avatar

2024-09-20T05:44:08.155+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha [ natashaclare34 ] avatar

2024-09-20T05:44:29.345+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

ah. yeah that i can see why tumblr would suppress that content. since the whole site is now very anti-18+ even in discussion

2024-09-20T05:44:35.666+00:00 by Alex is Tired - MOD [ tiredforever ] avatar

at least from personal experience.

2024-09-20T05:45:19.581+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha [ natashaclare34 ] avatar

I looked at it and if people said something mean about it it's probably because they're one of those "not into politics" people. Maybe tell them that politics can affect your life directly so it's important to be able to cast your vote .

Key Research Findings on Immigration & Crime - I will try to find a place to post a version with citations. I'll also summarize refutations to specific attacks on Kamala regarding immigration. • Many studies conducted over the past 150 years are quite consistent: Contrary to popular belief, both authorized and unauthorized immigrants have crime rates equal to or lower than those born in the U.S. • Some studies focus on homicides. Immigrants, whether authorized or unauthorized, have lower homicide rates than people born in the U.S. • In a study of all 50 states, increased unauthorized immigration over 14 years was not related to terrorist attacks, radicalization, or terrorism prosecutions. • “Sanctuary communities” are as safe as other communities. They are likely to decrease crime because immigrant victims are much more willing to call the police. • Although there is no connection between crime and unauthorized immigration, the media almost always depicts immigrants as criminals. • Despite calls to close “open borders,” the U.S. has not had open borders since the 1920s. Reports indicate that the border is well fortified. • Policies during the Trump administration led to long-lasting trauma for children separated from their parents. The Trump administration’s “return to Mexico policy” forced asylum-seekers back to Mexico to await their hearings. That placed them in extreme danger. At least one in 70 people forced to return reported being victims of rape, kidnapping, assault, and other crimes in Mexico. • Policy-makers can help prevent homicides by immigrants by supporting social service and law enforcement practices that welcome immigrants. These homicides will not be prevented through deportations, further criminalizing immigrants or banning sanctuary communities. Research studies do nothing to comfort the loved ones of those brutally murdered, but they can be used to create policies that will help keep everyone safe.

We really need a messaging campaign that tells people to check their registration status NOW & a link to a site that will guide them to fix any problems.

Hi Ray! If it is any consolation, I am hearing similar arguments from adults and I suspect younger voters/interested youth may be repeating what they hear at home. On the one hand: We had the pandemic which caused global inflation and supply/consumer goods shortages, and had many schools and parents/guardians learning and working remotely. On the other hand: Biden & Harris worked with congress to pass the American Rescue Plan (which put a little more money into our pockets), the Inflation Reduction Act, the bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the CHIPS and sciences act (which is bringing manufacturing back and creating more jobs). Of the G7, our economic recovery was the fastest. From here, ask each other questions and encourage their media literacy learning (which may coincide with How to Cite Your Sources lessons in school). Good Luck!

Your best rule of thumb is to either find a free source with the same info or if you have a subscription, you can do a "Gift" link which means that whomever has that link will be able to view it without the worry of a paywall. Just a tip from someone who has done this for years. Also one of my friends in Hawaii does the "Gift" link a lot when he wants to share articles that he has access to but others might not.

Can someone help with this? I've watched many, many speeches and don't recall Kamala saying this. It's an incredibly awkward phrase, so it would stand out. Am I missing it or is this untrue? The quote is "what can be unburdened by what has been" - I don't mean to give the video more unnecessary views. I notice they don't include any video of her saying this. If she had been repeating it, that would have been easy enough. The claim is that this is Marxist code phrasing for the intention of wiping out (destroying) everything that has come before in order to build a new society. Do we do anything to combat this or do we ignore the misinformation? https://youtu.be/hDX5q30V_-E?si=Hrow7V-mZMgaf13n

Only one problem with the screenshot thing: Unless you use alt text (ie a description of what the photo says), it will prevent some from seeing it as they have vision issues and some devices those visually impared people use don't always show photos/graphics that well. This is why a lot of people when posting graphics will either post a descriptive text with them or will inculde a short summary that will help the VI person with getting an idea of what is being shown. Learned that from a college friend who is legally blind.

I've also watched nearly all of her speeches and do not recall her ever saying anything like that, either. Not even close. Weinstein is part of the Thiel/Musk/etc. axis of VC-vil. Those guys and their candidates have already shown that they're willing to make up stuff out of thin air.

Hi Ray - re Economy TikTok -- Seems comprehensive and good charts. I don't repost anything that uses the F word. Seems very long -- I bet there are better ones. Also citing stats on the good economy won't reach people unless they first hear empathy about the pain they feel. Kamala does this well e,g, NC speech on the economy where she first acknowledges gas and grocerry prices are to high and then pivots to how she'll fix that with concrete plans

replying to 2024-09-22T00:23:51.047+00:00 by Mace Windu [CA][OE Lead] Hi Ray! If it is any consolation, I am hearing similar arguments from adults and I suspect younger voters/interested youth may be repeating what they hear at home. On the one hand: We had the pandemic which caused global inflation and supply/consumer goods shortages, and had many schools and parents/guardians learning and working remotely. On the other hand: Biden & Harris worked with congress to pass the American Rescue Plan (which put a little more money into our pockets), the Inflation Reduction Act, the bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the CHIPS and sciences act (which is bringing manufacturing back and creating more jobs). Of the G7, our economic recovery was the fastest. From here, ask each other questions and encourage their media literacy learning (which may coincide with How to Cite Your Sources lessons in school). Good Luck!

100%. <@1082643965167288360> , one strategy I've seen suggested by others many times in these cases is to ask questions seeking to understand *why* they think the way they do. And from there you can unearth contradictions, gaps, assumptions. I've tried it myself with good results.

I've tried Canva which works pretty well. Also, if your computer has a video editor already installed (like iMovie or Clipchamp), don't underestimate them. I used iMovie to edit video for YouTube for years. I'm actually wanting to learn how to use Clipchamp since I bought a PC recently but I think I need to upgrade the laptop slightly since I don't have that big of a hard drive and the memory isn't that much.

I had a friend in high school who always had something like this at her house. Theirs was cucumbers with tomatoes and a vinegarette and the crazy part is the only one in the house that really ate it was her dad and when I was over there, he always split it with me because he knew I liked it. Also one of my favorite go-tos was always this pasta dish my sister used to make where she took any kind of pasta and combined it with olive oil, a little garlic and Italian herbs, and a lot of cheese.

I love this but I also remember during the heyday of The Nanny, Fran Drescher did a movie called The Beautician & The Beast where she played a hairstylist who was hired to tutor the kids of a dictator.

The more Trump speaks, more revelations appear about his true motivation. Many of his comments come straight from Project 2025: Charging tariffs without Congress, vote for him this time and you won’t have to vote again, lying about the legal Haitians in Springfield, freeing the January 6 insurrectionists. The playbook is already “in play.”

Yeah I couldn't vote for another Clinton. Not after NAFTA (offshored manufacturing jobs) and the repeal of the Glass Steagall act (directly caused the 2008 economic crash). I'm old enough to remember Gore losing the debate on Larry King to Perot about NAFTA. Perot was like a visitor from the future.

I shared something on X/Twitter and went to switch back to Reach (using the three lines that show you what apps you have open) and it took me back to the start of the app! It's annoying becuase I wanted to record that I shared that piece of content.

I mostly voted for her because I knew for years Trump was trouble. My dad worked a job years ago that had ties to him and also I have a friend from college who lives in Atlantic City so I heard all the stories on how he did AC dirty. Sadly, no one listened to me because I still remember arguing so much with my brothers about it. They both stopped speaking to me this year, by the way.

I think it’s important to mention that 45 has violated the Logan Act by making negotiations with Netanyahu to NOT end the war! (He wants toe war to be a wedge issue.) Unfortunately, the Logan Act (unauthorized private citizens negotiating with a foreign government) has never been enforced. So if they have issues with Biden’s policies, then they should absolutely have issues with 45.

Here are my thoughts and I could be dead wrong. Harris is part of an administration right now and doesn't set foreign policy. I personally believe her approach will be different than Biden's. Her words have been nuanced and she has said she supports Israel's right to defend itself. I think she is holding back for the sake of continuity and because it's her role as VP. I know this doesn't really help but, she's a woman of color, she's a moderate progressive.

To be honest, Joel, people don't think about this and sadly that has a lot to do with gender. I agree with you on all of this and from what I'm reading and seeing, people are starting to realize exactly what you have observed. Now all we have to do is get them out to the polls to vote for her.

It's not embarrassing. My dad voted for the first time in his 50s (he's 78 now). I was more the "I first voted at 18 type" because I came to age in the 90s and to me, that was a defining decade in a way.

From south Jersey. He had a reputation for bankrupting small businesses by getting them to bid no margin, asking for tons of additional work for free, then refusing to pay them, even when the work was done to contract. He was reported to use the “I’ll bury you in legal” threats that so many big companies use. But everyone thought it might be their big break and he was so rich they didn’t believe the rumors. Suckered so many small businesses.

Yeah I grew up in the Bronx and Queens in the 70's through the early 90's and I remember how polarizing he was in the media. He was always doing something shady or arguing for tax breaks. Then there was the full page ad about the central park 5.

I turned 18 in 1985. I don't think I voted in 88. In either 1992 or 1996 I protest voted for Ross Perot because I did not like Tipper Gore, Al Gore's wife. I just knew that Tipper. meddled in music and I did not like her parenting me. Also, I didn't have a television and information wasn't as easy to come by as it is now. I finally started paying more attention and voted for Kerry in 2004 and then Obama in 2008 and 2012. Voting became extremely important in 2016 when I voted for Clinton. Even moreso in 2020 when I voted for Biden. I guess I had a rough start but I feel like this is the most important election of my life.

He was always doing something shady or arguing for tax breaks. Then there was the full page ad about the central park 5.

I too am originally from NY. He has always been this way. A lowlife. The sad thing is that people support him in spite of his narcissistic actions and illegal behavior

https://youtu.be/j4zRrdFq20k?si=GZBl3OUBwfg_Yi9c That's why more and more Republicans are endorsing Harris. Trump, a convicted felon, is running the GOP presidential campaign. Enough is enough. Those Republicans with clean conscience no longer support Trump. Cheer up. For God's sake, the Trump soap opera will end in 45 days. Trump - Expiration Date : 2024, Hallelujah. Harris - Madam President : 2024, Hallelujah.

Good morning from TEXAS 💙🌊💙. I am signed up for Volunteer Texting, yet there seems to be enough volunteers for this effort and not enough work. I've taken on a personal/professional (social worker for those with disabilities) task of emailing swing state educators (Wisconsin finished, and I'm now in North Carolina) with an attached copy of Chapter 11 from Project 2025. I include bullet points that will dismantle public education and eliminate the Dept of Education. To this end, does anyone have any recommendations in terms of volunteering more with the campaign? I prefer to avoid phone banking, yet if that's what is needed, then I'll volunteer my time. We've ONLY got 6 weeks to go, and we/I can't let up because the stakes are too high! Thanks so much for enduring this long message! LOVE you all for what you're doing to save our country!!! 💙

🧊 I got involved because I was already combatting mis/disinformation online and because another sent me the link to order a hard copy of P2025 once it became available and encouraged me to read it. I have been aware of christian nationalist movements since coming out in the 1990s and watched these take root in the Central Valley, especially among fundamentalist and evangelical sects. I have watched it spread from the pews and pulpits to BBS/usenet, from BBS/usenet and torrents to social media, from social media into streaming channels. Among and from these, I watched how these organized into non-profits/charismatic churches to avoid taxes and fund the chipping away at the protections enshrined in our constitution. As one childless and queer cat lady who was raised by a rocket scientist in Silicon Valley (yes, That Guy gets it wrong all the time), I can't do much. However, I can share what I know and work together with the people who see the danger and want to Do Something. ❤️

I'm pretty sure NJ will stay blue since I know Andy Kim has a huge cult following...at least in South Jersey. I also know a few people who have worked on his campaign and they have told me how well received he is there. PA has a good chance since Bob Casey is still pretty well liked but sometimes when I see those signs for McCormick, I get nervous.

<@&1266883962727432304> I wanted to ask what the server rules are regarding file sharing? I wanted to share a pdf that breakdowns the risks of project 2025. It also includes a section (that I found particularly interesting) where it outlines historical parallels. I didn’t create it though, I was able to download it for free from David Pakman’s website. I was considering just sharing the url where you enter your email address and you’re sent a copy of the document, except there’s a “subscription - become a member” button that is in clear view at the top of his webpage. So that’s a no-go per fundraising laws, right? I’m still unsure on how that works… but if I just post the pdf document on here, would that be ok?

That is true, but since we allow news sites all the time, as long as the content is solid, I would include Substack as news, even though it is user-created. Many writers are journalists and academics.

replying to 2024-09-25T04:06:40.894+00:00 by Marie B. | PA/NJ | OE/KC I'm pretty sure NJ will stay blue since I know Andy Kim has a huge cult following...at least in South Jersey. I also know a few people who have worked on his campaign and they have told me how well received he is there. PA has a good chance since Bob Casey is still pretty well liked but sometimes when I see those signs for McCormick, I get nervous.

Love Andy Kim, just a selfless public servant through and through. I gave to Casey's reelection and think I posted some content for his campaign (it's all a blur). I also got de-platformed on Threads by the McCormick campaign so in addition to being a fascist he's also a personal enemy of mine now 🤪

i found a CNN article on it [here](https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/18/politics/child-care-harris-7-percent-cap/index.html) that goes into a little more detail: > “My plan is that no family, no working family, should pay more than 7% of their household income in child care,” Harris said Tuesday at a National Association of Black Journalists event, noting that steep child care expenses make it difficult for many parents to work.

I would love some advice on how to find possibly undecided voters or potentially persuadable Trumpy voters on Threads and X. My algorithms are feeding me all blue voters for the most part. X is filled with so many trolls in the comments of any posts from right-wing news accounts that it's hard to know where to bother engaging. Do we have any data on the value of engaging on X at all? That said, I've had some good conversations with a couple of blue voters who were posting cynical takes. I point out the need for encouraging engagement through positivity and a spirit of unity. I've also been wearing down a couple of intelligent evangelical friends on FB who don't like Trump but have been lied to about Kamala. It's amazing how effective one can be when acknowledging people's concerns rather than judging and arguing! Sincerely pro-life people are worried about the "unintended consequences" of the harsher abortion restrictions, and it's easy to change people's minds about economics if they're not completely absorbed into the cult.

I was able to share vital information pertaining to Project 2025 with my R girlfriend who was receptive. She was able to see how various states are implementing different aspects of this already. Frightening to say the least! I'm involved with an active grassroots group here in my hometown & we meet tomorrow to write more post cards! Plus our entire state is encouraging all colleges/universities to register all students who are eligible to vote & we're a part of that with our local university! Exciting times! Vote BLUE!! 💙💙

What I've been focused on is following the people linked to the Democrat Rolodex X account - and I just quote-tweet and use the #YesWeKam tag. At this point I think it's less about engaging with conservatives and more about amplifying the message of Democrats.

A lot of the graphics are a lot to be desired but the creators are limited with the colors that we can use. I wish that they would upload meme content on Reach. I make memes the campaign which has to go through an officia review process which are separate than ones that I make for the meme channel but the are in the supporter content channel but not in Reach.

She just sent me a message stating that she had just casted her absentee ballot for Harris-Walz. I guess dealing with the trolls is worth it. One voter at a time.

I've been posting economics and jobs stuff on LinkedIn, ramping it up quite a bit this week to inform people who follow me (around 6K). My style is to keep posts factual, usually just sharing a quote from the article/report/video stating the core issue or takeaway fact. Engagement isn't high—one or two likes at most. If I shared some dull personal administrivia, I'd get 200 Likes within 2-3 days. Oh well. I will keep doing this, as maybe someone will see a post that registers and they will be inspired to take action (change vote or vote at all, or share info with someone else).

Some people here might find this interesting. I mod for a small meme subreddit and i started tracking how many clicks the links in our sub get so i can better gauge the effectiveness of our automod messages and stuff like that. For just the US IP addresses we have about 200 clicks for the last 2 weeks for links on how to register, vote reminders, volunteering for the Harris campaign and donating to various efforts as well as donating to a food bank in Springfield Ohio. Obviously not all of those clicks equal a a new voter, volunteer or a donation but i am sure some do.

replying to 2024-09-26T18:21:39.864+00:00 by RaiseRuntimeError Some people here might find this interesting. I mod for a small meme subreddit and i started tracking how many clicks the links in our sub get so i can better gauge the effectiveness of our automod messages and stuff like that. For just the US IP addresses we have about 200 clicks for the last 2 weeks for links on how to register, vote reminders, volunteering for the Harris campaign and donating to various efforts as well as donating to a food bank in Springfield Ohio. Obviously not all of those clicks equal a a new voter, volunteer or a donation but i am sure some do.

Awesome!! We'd love to have you in https://discord.com/channels/1242249109298221066/1288163431911788586 as well 😄

I wanted to share this with you all since I think a few of you may have requested a community note on X/Twitter regarding this. There was a post going around saying that Harris used a teleprompter during the Oprah interview. I put a comment saying, "Teleprompters are often used in video production and they're usually to keep things running smooth for the host in situations where guests are 'ad-libbing' their answers." Seems today I found this in my notifications and the Trump supporters once again showed they were lying. PS. I only went that techinal becuase I have a degree in Communication & Journalism but I took a lot of classes in video/TV production and digtal media. Of course it wasn't anything like it is today when I was at Rider, that's for sure.

it's good to remind people to check their voter registration! it's true there's been added legislation to try and prevent 'fraudulent' votes which are actually doing no good for anyone. luckily, they're either being challenged (Georgia's already has been) or were rejected (Paxton's attempt in Texas failed) always remember to check your voters registration!

Thank you. I've been canvassing with a state representative and GCC is in her district and also on TikTok. I haven't been able to find a group at either if the Az GCC campuses but know several students here. I'm trying to find more to help them register to vote. I've already helped a few students register and my kids are working on helping acquaintances at NAU register.

If you have not already done so, I recommend checking your voting status via https://iwillvote.com. Not only can you check your voting status, but you can also register to vote and check the status of your ballot since the website is hosted by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). You can also use https://www.nass.org/can-I-vote to figure out how and where to go vote from your state or local election authority.

Mole blanco is mole made with green chilies. So it stays white and is also flavored with cumin. It’s very comforting and delicious.

Sometimes the simple content is what gets the most engagement. We asked one of our neighbors if he could hook us up with some Harris Walz yard signs. He brought enough for all who asked. And he put them in our yards yesterday afternoon. When I got home from work I took a picture after I walked my dog. Posted the picture with a little commentary and the likes have been coming in all day. Up to 2,100+ right now. What makes this significant is a lot of women in “red areas” of Michigan are stating their concerns on putting up yard signs in their red areas.

Hey <@884394257102815232> - I heard back from staff, and unfortunately, the national campaign office does not have the Reach codes for all Democratic candidates. My advice is to contact their campaign directly. Good luck, and thank you for everything that you're doing to support Democrats!

I recently posted in a few Hydrocephalus support groups about being worried about the ACA being overturned, and I asked if anyone else was worried about that. Most people either were worried, or were from other countries and appalled by our healthcare system. I also recently made a video talking about my experience with Hydrocephalus, and one of the things I talked about was the Affordable Care Act.

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.

I need some advice to help my 74-year-old housemate. Her friend from the 1970s seems to be only aware of information from Fox News. They haven't seen each other since the 1990s. My housemate thinks her friend is intelligent, and they both used to work for the NSA. It's difficult for my housemate to have open conversations with her friend. Do you have any advice for dealing with this kind of situation? She is worried her friend is a Trumper and is trying to talk to her. She seems upset her friend has changed. I think being of service has some to do with it, too.

Asking questions is a good first step. Asking to suss out positions, flaws in logic, and also to build trust. Because it puts the asker in the position of listener, and this is important for making people feel safe. The trick is to not react right away or judge, but to listen and stay calm.

Thanks for bringing this up! I would post in the <#1268426751164551199> channel. Sharing the link from If Not Now could be helpful for others who are interested. You might also want to check with the LA organizing channels to see if they have anything planned for Oct 7. While there’s no official campaign policy published yet on the conflict in Palestine and Israel, Vice President Harris has stated at rallies that she supports protecting both Israel and Palestine and supports a two-state solution. She has called for a ceasefire and the release of hostages. The issue is complex, as policy on Israel involves international law, treaties, and Congressional approval.

What we can do on our end is: - Request a Community Note (CN) on the post since it is on Twitter - Rate & uplift the associated CN, once it gets approved It looks like the congressman found that figure in the table on page 3. What we can't do: - Infringe upon the congressman's (and that of others) free speech - Take any action which might be construed as harassment or bullying I am confident the campaign and/or party was made aware of the claim prior to it's airing and is discussing how to respond.

He told us to kill the bill. Fox Host: It was your colleagues in the Republican Party who torpedoed your border bill, not Democrats GOP Sen. Lankford (R-OK): It was. Trump said don't fix anything, so my colleagues looked for a reason to shoot against it. (June 2024).

IMMIGRATION - A BIG topic now - Kamala speaking now at border& so we see MAGA push back. Here are some more myths and facts -- feel free to use in community notes and replies. **Sanctuary Communities & Abolish Ice. **Harris has not imported gang members. ‘Sanctuary communities’ are safe & do not shield immigrants from deportation. Harris does not grant immunity & has never wanted to abolish ICE. She did not want to make border crossings legal, but rather a civil infraction, https://bit.ly/4f2kFyl https://bit.ly/4f7NjOs https://bit.ly/46vpX1q https://to.pbs.org/3ADuxi6 **Open Borders. **Despite calls to close “open borders,” the U.S. has not had open borders since the 1920s. Reports indicate that the border is well fortified https://bit.ly/3XTgAG5 https://bit.ly/3XWrfPd **Non-citizen Voting**. Right & left-leaning foundations find non-citizen voting is EXTREMELY rare. The Heritage Foundation found under 100 cases among 1 billion ballots over 20 years. Those who might vote risk everything – deportation & possible jail time. https://cnn.it/3LMzuHC

Donald Trump's latest Kamala Harris attack ad—Fact checked

2024-09-28T01:04:49.343+00:00 by Dan S [ dans_41097 ] avatar

**Harris’ Role in Migration Reduction from Central America**: Contrary to reports that Kamala Harris was in charge of border enforcement, a “Border Czar”, she was assigned to work with 3 Central American countries, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, to reduce the underlying causes of migration to the U.S. She built on her experience as a DA and Attorney General in California, where she worked closely with CA police & prosecutors & their Mexican counterparts to bring drug smugglers & human traffickers to justice. Migrants make the tough choice to leave their homes & homeland to make the arduous & dangerous journey to the U.S. in order to escape extreme poverty, gang violence & corruption. She helped send more $4 billion in U.S. aid to those countries, including COVID vaccines. She obtained the involvement of over 50 companies that have invested $5.2 billion & created more than 70,000 jobs. Columbia Sportswear, Nespresso, auto-parts manufacturer Yazaki North America Inc., & others created thousands of factory & farming jobs. Her efforts were stymied by entrenched gang violence & corruption. Nonetheless, migration from the 3 countries during the Biden-Harris administration has fallen 35 percent, to a level lower than it was in 2019 under Trump. While encouraging, it’s hard to know if her work on these long-term solutions helped produce this decline. https://wapo.st/3ABKjtI https://ampr.gs/3WNFHIt https://bit.ly/46SZmeA

U.S. STRATEGY FOR ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF MIGRATION IN CENTRAL AMERICA – U.S. National Security Council, JULY 2021. Details the charge to VP Harris from President Biden https://bit.ly/46SZmeA **Kamala Harris learned a lesson about the border early in her career. It’s paying off now** - As California attorney general, Harris found common cause with law enforcement in cracking down on transnational gangs - Blake Jones, 08/17/2024 https://politi.co/4fM4TIb As CA Attorney General, Harris expanded a task force devoted to cross-border criminality & fostered greater intelligence sharing with Mexican authorities, which officials said yielded arrests years later. During her elections, she obtained endorsements from Republican district attorneys and from law enforcement. She worked cases on human trafficking, sexual abuse & other violent crimes worsened by transnational gangs.

replying to 2024-09-27T22:24:59.178+00:00 by jules Hi any update on this? I’d rather not create a quick & dirty version of this site minus fundraising links. This is about voteriders site.

Yes, we can allow the Vote Riders.org, but when we mods see the post, we have to comment that the official DNC trusted site is IWillVote dot com for voting info. However, Vote Riders link can stay on the channel. Yay!

Are we sending any volunteers to engage on Reddit? It seems like a largely untapped social media platform for us, and it's a goldmine. It's largely already liberal, so we can focus on getting out the vote, recruiting volunteers, and getting donations. Even better, it's easy to target people. For example, in the Georgia subreddit we can reach out to people in Georgia and make sure they know the deadline for registering to vote is coming up. I've already had some success getting hundreds of likes and comments on some posts, some in subreddits that are probably low engagement voters or non-voters. Since most people are not going to like or comment, that means many times more are viewing these. Most of the comments on Reddit today are liberal but not helpful. We should be providing actionable information, especially in local subreddits. Links to information about voting, registration, etc. We should jump in when anyone makes a complaint about Trump and provide information for people to do something about it! I'm already doing this as much as I can, but the more people we get involved, especially in local subreddits (every city has one), the better. I can't cover all the small subreddits.

I loved when she did the interview with Oprah because of the way she responded to that bombshell that she's a gun owner. As someone who is a Democrat and can legally carry in PA, I love when you see someone on our side say about that because it chips away at that stereotype that all we want to do is take away all guns when we just want sensible laws like we had in the 90s under Clinton.

Favorite moment of the campaign so far? I have watched many political conventions, way before I was deemed old enough to vote... Her acceptance speech of the nomination <:YES:1252806140081737780> However, I did enjoy watching her perform well at the debate, as she finally had an opportunity to explain policy to those of us who aren't involved in the campaigns or watch 24/7 cable news. VP Harris exposed that Trump had no replacement, if the Republican party repealed well, you know.

I have been posting the Reach content a lot! I notice I am getting more followers and engagement, but finally today, I got both a quote tweet, and a comment. Both positive . Thank you to whomever it is who diligently gets so much content in the Reach app and very timely! By the election, I might be having a relatively interactive social media experience instead of just sending things into the void. I dp have some loyal followers who retweet my tweets fairly regularly, so I like that since it gets the Harris/Walz reach content out in front of ever more viewers. Anyway, just kudos to the reach content creators!

My only suggestion here is to reach out to Meta and ask them to be specific with regard to what they need to get your account(s) across the platform reinstated anyway. I also suspect that while you may have been removed from the groups, those that you have created and which meet a membership threshold will still be there. If worse comes to worse and Meta won't restore access (even after asking nicely), you may need to create a new set of accounts and ask group members/friends to approve your rejoining.

Hi everyone, there’s a big problem on the Twitter Community Notes channel here. There’s a campaign on X by Trump,releasing fake ICE immigration numbers. Or misinterpreting the data. We need to move to our individual online channels and fight back!

Hi. I’m sharing a TikTok about the Trump campaign using bots and his engagement stats (1.5%) vs Madame #47 Harris campaign stats (8-13%) on TikTok. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8R4muDg/ comments/likes/hearts on the Harris TikToks and accounts posting in support of our candidate are valuable and important. If this post is removed I’ll repaste with just the info sans TikTok. Thx.

I used these all together on FB posts to my neighborhood association. Please note that Absentee ballots have just been mailed out in Michigan. So any content to 1) Encourage getting your ballot returned early, 2) Encourage women in red areas that they can vote in secret without husbands/boyfriends knowing how they voted, 3) Encourage folks in red areas that other national GOP now support Harris-Walz like Jeff Flake. 4) Content to encourage folks in red areas to have confidence to show “blue support” via pearls/chucks; blue polish manicures; post-its in women’s restrooms; Harris-Walz yard signs. The more messaging we can give Michigan women in red areas to help them show others they are not alone, the better the vote will be. Michigan women in red areas who support Harris-Walz are some of the most courageous people around right now. They need support as our front line warriors. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I don't think it matters what Trump says anymore, I think the people who are voting Harris will and KNOW He's Dangerous and the Trump voters are already ready to vote for him. I think the best we could do is make sure the undecided voters know as much about Harris as possible. People need to understand her stance on foreign affairs , the middle east is a hot bed for fear of 3rd WW, the economy ( she's done that) but needs to message more in interviews, and immigration policy talk about it more. I don't think we should keep advertising for Trump. We don't need people thinking he's a Tough guy, foe some reason the US is in love with them. I think Harris should talk about Relief and sustainable living for the victims of all States devastated by Helene.

Highlighting the madness might drive turnout from otherwise more apathetic people though. My issue is how to reach them since I use Tumblr and the US politics tag is often the only applicable trending one

I might be able to if you’re able to post it! I’m kind of limited to Tumblr because I live in one of the reddest states in the country and I’m involved in a very red field. So my Instagram and Facebook base leans Trump. I was terrified just to post a temporary “I’m voting for Harris story”

I think highlighting his madness does help motivate those Trump -> Biden voters that are now on fence because of cost of living but were repeled by Trump in his first term that’s why they went for Biden. The NYT and Wapo does a good job of identifying these voters in their coverage - sometimes they even offer their full names and jobs hehe. But ye these type of voters are key

There’s couple of crazy remarks he made these past two rallies in Erie PA and Wisconsin where he called Kamala mentally ill, said there needs to be an hour of lawlessness…

On LinkedIn, I've started sharing the @kamalahq posts showing JD Vance ranting about childless women who pursue careers and "punishing" childless people. There are two such posts since the weekend. You might do same, to reach more apathetic women or undecideds. Coincidentally, Russia is considering legislation to ban "childfree ideology." JD Vance belongs in the Kremlin, not the White House.

ALSO: I've been posting in the <#1288163431911788586> channel about opportunities I've spotted for posting campaign content. I don't have a Reddit account and think people with more karma would seem more credible there.

Eliminating the national weather service would also pose a huge hazard to aviation. That’s where pilots get all of our information as to weather a flight is safe or if we need to file an alternate, go IFR, reroute etc. but I’m trying to figure out how to phrase it and I’m worried about what other pilots will say who have been brainwashed by MAGA.

replying to 2024-09-30T16:39:24.639+00:00 by starryreverie | Natasha Eliminating the national weather service would also pose a huge hazard to aviation. That’s where pilots get all of our information as to weather a flight is safe or if we need to file an alternate, go IFR, reroute etc. but I’m trying to figure out how to phrase it and I’m worried about what other pilots will say who have been brainwashed by MAGA.

"if we lose the NOAA, storm-related airplane crashes will increase" seems like a _lot_ to claim but has enough historical data to be backed up

If I post the same content , like an article to over 9 groups, FB blocks me and restricts for 24 hours. So if there is content i think groups should see I post to maybe 9 groups, take a break, respond to comments, get back on it. FB does not seem to limit photo comments. So if you can get your content saved as a photo you can go to town. 😀

And they all communicate with each other so if your account gets burned (for instance if they check mutual servers and see your main is here) then you'll lose access to all the servers you've gotten verified patriot status to that point will be for nothing.

You know what's wild? How quickly folks who subscribe to this kind/level of rhetoric go from "affable" to belligerent after asking some basic questions. Those I generally dismiss because they're usually harmless; all bark, little bite when they swagger up to The Box on live pods to blast the audience with their rhetoric. I have come across two (maybe three) since becoming more civically/politically engaged that I flagged and/or reported to the company/platform where I encountered them. It's the cold. It's the lack of emotion. It's the disregard of the social contract. There is no bar too low or bridge too far in service to whatever goal they want to achieve. They are both chaos agent and are media savvy/know how to play an audience. I've gotten better identifying one from the other. I've been doing this online thing since 1989. I know some of what is out there and I make the choice to be optimistic and supportive when I can. TBH: I don't always get it right and I think I'm better just holding space when folks need it. Bah. I'm up late because the weather. 😛

What struck me in particular was the prevalence of neurodivergence in the alt right. Lends itself to online chat rooms without social anxiety and the high IQs lead to superiority complex which when we collectively ignore the needs of the american people in favor of lower taxes leads to a sense of unfairness. And so we see how small govt gop morphed into maga into maga communism. They're begging for populism to redistribute wealth to the middle class.

The wild bit of this I found interesting is that Trump would like to serve as head of state and let JD act as PM making policy decisions which the big guy doesn't actually ideologically care about. He might really have a hard time understanding the perspective of the youths is why he makes such frequent gaffs and seemingly can't decide how he feels about things until he takes the pulse online or through polls then decides what to do

I have consistently maintained that an individual's character is their most vital attribute. Character serves as a reflection of one's true nature and inner essence. When we support individuals who demonstrably contravene the principles and values embodied by character, it necessitates introspection and self-reflection. Character-driven individuals exhibit compassion, honesty, fairness, self-discipline, sound judgment, respect for others, courage in upholding convictions, a strong sense of responsibility, civic-mindedness, and self-awareness.

Absolutely look into it with FB; push through the FB support options until you get what you think is a clear answer (when you know why and are happy with your next steps). There are too many reasons why this and related account/content issues cause problems. Their filters and AI-powered evaluations can't not make assumptions. There is nuance. I just had the "pleasure" of reactivating a half dozen or so accounts and apps for my next steps in here. FB banned me from posting b/c I hadn't posted in a long. X sent me through a labyrinth of validations for pretty much the same reason. Persevere and Google!

Not sure if anyone saw Dean destroying Nick Fuentes on a debate. I saw it with Parker streaming it through YouTube. It was INSANE. Nick said he’d kill a baby if God said so. He also said he’d choose Hitler over his own wife to be president. Dude got destroyed even though it was on a conservative platform.

2024-10-03T14:44:27.134+00:00 by Raegonomics5thGear [ raegonomicsgear2 ] avatar

I swear, Nick just got us more conservative women and lgbtq people riled up to vote against Trump. It was awesome. All Dean did was ask questions and the dude went crazier that killing dogs, cats, goose, or pets. It just didn’t get more attention than a presidential debate since Nick Fuentes is barely a nobody.

That's a lot to clean up. Going forward, you're welcome to use my rule: 1. If it's not a message the company/entity has posted somewhere in your secured account, where only you can see it, it's not real. Delete. 2. If you're not sure, sign into the account normally and look for a message the company/entity has posted to your secured account. 3 If you're still not sure, get advice from company/entity support.

Short Answer: Yes Longer Answer: Progressive Social Media Influencers and Content Creators have experienced an increase in time outs and account bans this election season; these are increasing as we approach Early Voting and Election Day proper. What we can do is keep going. By this I mean, keep on doing what we are doing; posting content from Reach, focusing our (re)posts in coordination with HQ, requesting CNs to correct mis/disinformation, and working within our spheres of influence to spread the message--and the hope and joy. I expect the increase in account reporting to continue, so be prepared and do what you can to protect your peace.

We have a lot of different strategies to make sure we're reaching as many voters as possible! So idk what this person is talking about, but I wouldn't consider them a reliable source. If you're interested in getting involved in more on the ground work, https://go.kamalaharris.com will show you canvassing and other events closest to you! <:happysun1:1270566006590541896> Online our best strategy is to have authentic conversations with people in our digital communities, as well as friends and family members. One thing this post got right is that you have a greater impact to energy expended ratio talking to those who are already on the fence/undecided and making sure everyone has a plan to vote, than trying to convince hardcore Trump supporters. At the end of the day though, we know every single vote counts and that's why it's crucial that we all do what we can to fight and win this <:blueheart:1252803082849488956> I wouldn't recommend intentionally going into MAGA-heavy spaces to try to convince voters, because you're not going to get as much "bang for your buck" there. It's also harder to keep up the momentum of joy in those spaces, and we know that's a big part of why this campaign is resonating with so many -- because it focuses on joy and the future! If you're interested intentional posting and commenting on socials, I'd reccomend reacting with the emoji to join our Reddit community here: https://discord.com/channels/1242249109298221066/1260651617867399188/1260728814540165162 ! All of that to say, I super appreciate the creativity everyone is bringing to the table to try to make sure we reach as many voters as possible in the next 33 days!! We got this!! 🌊 You might also want to check out our GOTV Bootcamp this Saturday, which has a ton of guidance and best practices to maximize our presence online: https://events.democrats.org/event/703304/

I'm doing work in campaign social. I've decided to post on Twitter (won't call it the other name) and have gone into "magaland" and posted memes that show the difference between VP Kamala's plans and "project 2025". The reason I'm writing this is to let you know the resistance is STRONG on twitter and the magas aren't getting a lot of reposting. I take it as a good sign.

I'm sorry that I couldn't share this in time for the VP debate because Pete missed something. The psychologists missed it too. Yes, JD has sociopathic traits; yes, he wants power, but that's not the whole story. He has a reason. I've met someone like him before. JD has always been a systemic thinker. That's why he had a problem with Trump in the first place. There is a popular idea in higher education ethics that promotes calculated risks and meaningful sacrifices. This is the same thinking that drives doctors not to treat miscarrying women - because *they can save more lives by not getting arrested.* I think JD behaves in an inhuman way **by choice**, to serve a specific goal. I think he removes his own basic human compassion for the US population as a "necessary evil," in his head, at least. He believes he is the good guy protagonist on a crusade against evil, and I think Trump was only ever a pawn to him. I heard him say in an interview (I wish I could remember where) that he thinks the world will become more compassionate if more people have children. I think he meant it. This is his own internal narrative, and he wants others to have the same profound experience because he believes people ONLY learn true compassion when they have kids. I think his plan is to put himself in power and force as many births as possible through legislation. I think he genuinely believes that this will promote peace and security for the future of all mankind. Is he wrong? OF COURSE HE IS. People learn compassion in early childhood, not in the moment they reproduce. That's why its so easy for him to ignore the needs of a nation to serve his good-guy-protagonist agenda. His mother couldn't give him the compassion he needed when he was young. This is his *reason* for wanting power, his psychological Achilles' heel. The more he is confronted with the reality of childless compassion, the more it will destabilize him.

I agree with one small difference. It not his personal idea. He's representing the online communities trump has tried to piggy back off of. That's why he was chosen as the true ideological heir apparent when it was biden harris they thought it wouldn't matter that much to choose the sincere successor.

Hi Carine, I congratulate you for talking to so many people the election. Reach has away to add them to the app depending on whether they need to register or are already registered. https://www.reach.vote/knowledge-base/adding-people/ if you can tell me more about what the form for inquiries is I might be able to help you find that too.

And as democrats, we know how to keep that control and seek to get total control of the senate and house as well. The blue wave is coming. We need more liberal like policies going forward to complete our mission. Kamala can and will deliver on that! Vote blue!

Hello, all... Anyone have a "Rapid Response" message for this? Not sure where to post this, so let me know if this isn't the place. Just saw several tweets about this story and wonder if we have a "rapid-response" from the campaign when this kind of thing comes up. It's gathering steam on twitter... https://tucson.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/elections/arizona-presidential-election-2024-kamala-harris-campaign-text-univrsity-students-public-records-gop-senator-criticisms/article_c748d336-84de-11ef-8131-7b69de378d61.html

Hi, I do not have the rapid response message, but the GOP is playing its dirty trick. The presidents of the three universities do not admit any wrongdoing, and there is no criminal investigation. In addition, the mobile phone numbers of college students are available from the student clubs and organizations. If the student club leaders were Democrats supporters, they might submit the mobile phone numbers of their club members to the local Democrats office.

Good Catch, Cece! In re: Rapid Response We do have a channel managed by the campaign and party and when they want us to take immediate action and/or help them capture a moment, they will push any instructions to us via the <#1250551973053468672> channel. From reading the article, it looks like the campaign is aware of the issue and it seems that certain information about students is a matter of public record in that state.

She seems to be genuinely ignorant not in a bad way but like she's just not really been exposed to certain counter viewpoints. Recently pretty impressed with her going to the holocaust museum and calling out Laura Loomers nonsense. There might be some goodness in her yet

I think her "change" lately was because she was jealous that their boss was paying more attention to Lara Loomer than to her. Just speculation...

Let's not get complacient though. I'm dead serious here, people! DON'T GET COMPLACIENT! We made that mistake in 2016 when the polls got this good and that's how we got into this mess! So with that said, keep the course and keep working to make these poll results translate into actual votes!

I love this ad from Jon Cooper's X account, but why can't I find it on the Kamala Harris YouTube page? I want to use the ad in my social media, but I don't want to share it as an X link because it removes the graphics when I post the X link (no cover graphics for the video) on my Facebook page. Do you know if there is a YouTube link to this video?

I know the campaign wants to maintain a positive tone, but Trump is now saying things that exactly parallel Adolph Hitler's speeches (for example, claiming that immigrants have "bad genes" that cause them to be murderers). This really shouldn't be ignored, in my opinion. Here is a post from Steve Schmidt that provides historical context and explains the implications for the rise of facism in this country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHQHerczlnA

Lends itself to online chat rooms without social anxiety and the high IQs lead to superiority complex which when we collectively ignore the needs of the american people in favor of lower taxes leads to a sense of unfairness. And so we see how small govt gop morphed into maga into maga communism. They're begging for populism to redistribute wealth to the middle class.

SO true! and it explains some of the arrogance and anger.

I have a story to share to help us improve online messaging when reaching out to undecided voters. While wandering around the city looking for Democrats stuff, I bumped onto someone. When I asked them for directions for the Democrats, they told me they are voting for Trump. I asked why and they told me their reasons: 1. Trump will be more effective at dealing with bad faith actors on the global stage like Iran. 2. Kamala Harris' economic policies will turn the US into Communist China and the people that will suffer the most will be the middle-class. I think hearing such things even if we have strong feelings about them is important. Because it shows that there are other reasons people will vote for the other side or simply one reason. So, the thing to ponder here is how can we persuade people regarding points 1. and 2. as to why Harris is the better option. 🙂

replying to 2024-10-03T14:36:37.068+00:00 by NikkyMouse🐭 I have a question about Tik Tok and Left Creators. We are having MAJOR problems and have no way to fix it and our factual information of the campaign is being taken down, we are getting CGV’s and we are being Mass Reported. I mod for a live and we got mass reported and taken down 2x today in 2 hrs for going over the new Jack Smith paperwork. I have to be honest we are getting exhausted of fighting with this. Any suggestions?

This is what I do on TikTok--I wait a few minutes before posting again (posting what I created to other sites in the meantime). I also made sure I blocked anyone who said crappy things about Kamala. If they are just reporting you without saying anything there's not a lot you can do. I've also found TikTok doesn't seem to like certain videos--for quality purposes. So I use pictures and make videos from that.

Right. But there is without a doubt that China is linked to communism aka very bad, and some people out there clearly believe Harris is a Marxist like a Red Scare 2.0 moment or someone even said she could be a Castro 2.0. Misinformation is part of the issue, and facts/figures helps for sure. But it is a talking point I have noticed on online forums.

I disagree that Communism is inherently bad but Kamala is definitely not communist in any sense.

I usually just ask people to define communism and then when they can't define it point them to the definition.

Hey Jorge! I have been seeing similar on TikTok/on the Lives of progressive TikTok content creators for several weeks at this point. The Good News: This can be redirected fairly quickly by asking the person to define Communism/Marxism, followed by asking them if they own their own home/property. A step further is to ask them what type of economy we have (spoiler: a mixed one.) The Meh News: The person responding may have a negative reaction when responding so do what you can to protect your peace.

Another talking point I have noticed a lot aside from the Middle-East stuff is the border situation and people saying Harris handled the border terribly. Personally, I feel the border is more under the control of the Department of Homeland Security. But how to respond to people who say Harris handled the border badly and that she won't do much in the next 4 years?

Some key points, if I may? - "Border Czar" is not an official title of any government official; it is one coined by MSM - DHS is in charge of the border. It's chief is Mayorkas - The duties of a VP are defined in Articles 1 & 2 of our Constitution; President of the Senate, a tie breaking vote there, and someone to take over for the President and/or extra duties as assigned - We have been under Title 8 (8 USC) for 60 years - Asylum is a legal process and covered under 8 USC 1158 (spoiler: no port of entry required) - During C19 and under the public health emergency, we were under Title 42 which restricted immigration. Once the emergency was declared over, we went back to Title 8 - Harris brokered a deal with the Northern Triangle Countries to further economic growth in that region and to stem the tide of immigration (root causes strategy)

We can’t block everyone that says something bad or misinformation. We run a live 5 days a week (apx 4 hrs a day) and the misinformation, hate, misogyny, vile humans that are there is insane… There is a group of them that go around mass reporting Left creators. We get community guideline violations for putting out correct information, or show articles. We get DM’s of death threats, doxxed, our families get threatened, we even have Veterans information that was put out on TT publicly. We report it to TT and they don’t give a crap.

It was a very close election, but one that the Democrats won. Goes to show that every vote counts.

JD Vance was correct when he compared Trump to Hitler - During an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday, Donald Trump said immigrants were filling the country with “bad genes” and used lies about decades-old crime statistics to make his point. Trump has long been obsessed with the idea that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America — echoing Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s rhetoric. For years, he has lied that other countries are purposefully sending criminals to the United States. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-immigrants-bad-genes_n_67040a34e4b0924ce9db0b0e

Five Days Did I mention it took five days for the President to mobilize the military? Just follow along with the highlighted portions below. Remember, the hurricane was October 27th. Roughly 500 soldiers with the 20th Engineer Brigade, XVIII Airborne Corps and the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division left Fort Liberty on Oct. 3 for Asheville, the largest city in western North Carolina and part of Buncombe County, one of the most damaged parts of the country by Helene. They are conducting inspections of the roads in the region, as well as clearing debris and transporting supplies. Several aircraft were deployed with them for the mission. More than 500 soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division deployed to western North Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 5. They brought at least 60 Infantry Squad Vehicles, and more than 15 helicopters to the area as well, for troop transport and to move supplies. The soldiers with Task Force Falcon will be focused on a variety of roles, including search and rescue, traffic control and clearing roads of debris. The active-duty troops will also prioritize the last step of getting aid to communities, transporting it from staging areas to “the point of need,” according to the Department of Defense. Helene made landfall on Sept. 26 as a Category 4 hurricane and in the days that followed tore through the southeast, flooding communities, forcing large evacuations — including some at military bases along the path of the storm — and leaving a trail of destruction. September 26 — Helene Makes Landfall September 27 — Devastation in North Carolina September 28 — September 29 — September 30 — October 1 — October 2 — President Biden mobilizes the military October 3 — Mobilization of 500 soldiers begins October 4 — October 5 — Mobilization of 500 more soldiers for search and rescue. Those blank days are days when people were dying. And the media tells us everything is fine. Do we have anything to respond to this

A message from a FL Dem via online engagement (note the last lines): I live in Gulfport, FL. My husband and I evacuated to the nearest shelter after our flight out was canceled. TPA announced their closing on Monday. They closed at 9:00 am on Tuesday and our flight was booked for 8:55 am. By the time we learned that our flight was canceled, everything else was booked so we were stranded. No rental cars are available as many cars had been damaged by Helene and rentals were taken. The evacuation shelter is grossly overcrowded, inefficiently staffed and dirty. If we survive the storm, we will probably get sick. A note: please advise the campaigns to stop asking for donations now. It's a very serious situation here and we don't want to waste our very limited phone power on them.

This is just personal and, of course, I will follow the guidelines of the team, but I thought it was brave and possibly true. She and Joe had/have a real relationship. You could see at the convention how they felt. Loyalty can sometimes be misplaced, but in this case I admire her for that answer. She went on to say how she might do things differently as President. The three and a half years of their administration has produced some amazing accomplishments. Are there issues the other side will try and use to beat her? Yep. But it's our response that will affect our supporters.

Thank you for flagging this! I think the best way to respond to this is to continue sharing her proposed policies and the stark contrast between how a Harris-Walz presidency will benefit the people vs. how a Trump-Vance presidency would be disastrous for every single community except the top 5%.

FYI- Oct 27 -Trump plans a rally at Madison Square Garden... See Michael Beschloss account today on why this is important- https://x.com/BeschlossDC/status/1555980937267134465 I encourage <@&1266883962727432304> / Content Creator Team to connect the dots to Trump's "very fine people" who will undoubtedly attend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxxxlutsKuI In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York's Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism -- an event largely forgotten from U.S. history. A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN, made entirely from archival footage filmed that night, transports audiences to this chilling gathering and shines a light on the power of demagoguery and anti-Semitism in the United States. Directed by Marshall Curry For more about the rally: http://www.anightatthegarden.com Maddow's recent work /podcasts highlight the this period and group.

See Michael Beschloss account today on why this is important- https://x.com/BeschlossDC/status/1555980937267134465 I encourage <@&1266883962727432304> / Content Creator Team to connect the dots to Trump's "very fine people" who will undoubtedly attend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxxxlutsKuI In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York's Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism -- an event largely forgotten from U.S. history. A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN, made entirely from archival footage filmed that night, transports audiences to this chilling gathering and shines a light on the power of demagoguery and anti-Semitism in the United States. Directed by Marshall Curry For more about the rally: http://www.anightatthegarden.com Maddow's recent work /podcasts highlight the this period and group.

Hi Donna! Thank you for the heads up about the rally on Oct. 27 and it appears other news outlets are reporting on it also. I think this post and its associated media would be better placed in the <#1268690577960992878> channel. Otherwise, how does this content uplift the policies and messages of the campaign? Does this content help support both the campaign and its volunteers?

This is not an uplift of current policies - Its a warning of what's to come IF.... The demise of democracy. Those who have succumbed to Trump's 2025 plan have been slowly boiled like frogs to not be aware of what the outcome will really be. Remember -It was Charlottesville that moved Biden to get into the race with Harris. Those "fine people" in the march continue to be on the march today lead by Trump and his minions - Ramaswamy. Their costumes have changed but not their beliefs.

<@1276367808778862624> It is safe to say that those of us who are volunteering are doing so because we are aware of the history, have gone through that checklist, and are heeding the warning. We *are* doing something. I also think it is safe to say the campaign, party, and current administration is also aware of and heeding the warning. I realize that it is rough for many on multiple fronts and thus, it can seem/be overwhelming. That may be by design. But I know that it is often the little things/gestures which shine brightest during tougher times. What small thing can you do to channel that discomfort and worry into action?

Messaging Harris democratic policies of equality, better define how Harris embraces pro-worker plank populism - as opposed to Trump's fascist cons and checking with Putin and friends. Remind that it was Charlottesville that led to Biden becoming President with Harris as VP "We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,” “If we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation — who we are. And I cannot stand by and watch that happen.” Prior to her taking on the mantle of President, while campaigning with Biden: "The character of our country is on the ballot this year and I’m honored to serve by Joe Biden's side as we fight to rebuild our country back better." October 27... in a blue state - Trump and MAGAts will repeat what "very fine people" they all are (channeling Feb 20, 1939.) Will this be provocation just days prior to election... 🤷‍♀️ Remind all we must honor and sustain the soul of our country and not let billionaire supported white supremacist rantings overshadow what can be done for all....especially as Trump threatens all immigrants, legal and illegal.

They are sick of him in the swing states so he has to go elsewhere to get big crowds. He picks places like NY and CA because they have high population densities so even though he is underwater he can get large crowds.

He accused that Harris forced Biden to drop out of election. He accused that Harris would cause 1929 depression. These accusations would cause widespread rumors about Kamala Harris. When the support of black voters for Harris is lower than Biden in 2020 election, those black voters loyal to Biden may turn to Trump, if they believe the false claims of Trump's rally speech. Therefore, please do not underestimate and ignore the damages of Trump's rally speeches.

I’d like to encourage people to listen to the “Call Her Daddy” interview with the future Madam President Harris. “Call Her Daddy” has ranked as Spotify’s second-biggest podcast, only behind Joe Rogan’s “Joe Rogan Experience,” for the past two years. It’s the most listened to among women. It reportedly averages 5 million weekly listeners. In the interview, the pair spoke about how a high school friend’s story of sexual abuse inspired Harris to become the top prosecutor in California. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2024/10/09/harris-interview-podcast-voters-abortion-sexual-assault/75573341007/

FEMA has plenty of money for disasters. Congress recently replenished a key source of FEMA’s response efforts, providing $20 billion for the agency’s disaster relief fund as part of a short-term government spending bill to fund the government through Dec. 20. The bill also gave FEMA flexibility to draw on the money more quickly as needed.

QUESTION: do you know any people with large audiences / communities? I’m messaging the public figures I know to listen to the Harris “Call Her Daddy” interview because the interview highlights what an extraordinary leader Harris is. Note: if you know someone who know someone with a large following on any or many platforms, ask them to consider making the request to post about people listening.

I volunteer with a national non-profit and they have a media kit that one can draw from to use in the profile or banners for different social media platforms - already cut to the size that is needed. I have a facebook banner for Harris that I copied and pasted from somewhere. The quality is just meh. If the campaign had a series of fb banners in a media kit that I can copy and paste from, especially with messaging that they want out at the moment - I'd prefer to do that. Because I'll change my banner weekly or even daily because then it also shows up on my newsfeed that I changed it.

Hey <@1275254288238776421> thank you for flagging! It's normal for people to feel anxious as we get closer to the election, especially with a race that's so close. CNN isn't wrong for posting an article that shares a common feeling across America at this point in time, but I agree with you that it's not really encouraging and not really a vibe we want to perpetuate in these final days! I will say for myself, I started getting involved in campaign work in 2020 because I was *so anxious*! And volunteering for the campaign was a way to channel that anxious energy into productivity, talking to voters and helping increase turnout! I encourage you to put any anxious energy into volunteering (we appreciate you being here! <:blueheart:1252803082849488956> ) and encouraging those you encounter in real life and online to do the same -- we're all on the same team and the only thing that matters is votes.

Generally, we want to share verified news sources or campaign official stuff in this space. We can also share our own creations based on campaign stuff too. It is totally okay to ask questions, but we may have to remove some sources.

Hi <@1262273567416909829> ! Jumping in since Jay is off-shift atm... that's a really good question actually! I realize I'm coming in partway through your conversation, but have you had a chance to attend our Combatting Misinformation event? I think you might find it valuable: https://events.democrats.org/event/620800/ (There's actually a few different versions available - I just searched "misinformation" to see the options.) I hope this helps! It's hard work... but good and necessary!

Righto, I am signing off for the night! Still getting slammed on Reddit and YouTube. Will be back at ir in morning. If anyone else can get word out for help would be great. I posted to a couple pro Kamala groups asking for help, so fingers crossed.

Also FB restricted my account without explanation around the beginning of October until the 9th of October. Really wondering if they are right leaning recently. It isn’t because I argue with Trump supporters or the many fake accounts set up for his mis-information campaign, because I simply block them.

As much as I support Kamala Harris, I wish she’d tone down the kumbaya tone and replace it with stronger language tying 45 to a bad economy and women dying. She blew it in The View when asked about what she would do different from Biden. It was an important question and she floundered. It was an opportunity for her to emphasize all the good that’s been done in the past 4 years and how her policies would expand all this good work. I’m completely frustrated that her messaging is not strong enough.

I hear you, it can feel frustrating to consistently be the party taking the higher road when Trump and Project 2025 are blatantly disrespectful and a danger to our communities. At the same time, know that there's a diversity of voters supporting or getting closer to supporting the Vice President, so she is working to appeal to millions of voters, ensuring they all feel as seen and as heard as possible.

Their fears are ignored. It's not simply the right positions, it's how you make people feel. Trump won't fix anything but knows how these voters feel.

INFLATION Not sure how successful, but I think this inflation angle gets people thinking. Where does the inflation money go? When eggs jump in price overnight the money did not go to the chickens. When gas jumps the oil in the ground did not change. Inflation money goes to the rich. Example: Trump just raised the price of Mar-a-lago membership from $200,000 to $1,000,000. Did his cost rise 400%, no. Did Biden get part of that inflation increase, no. A rich guy, Trump, put it in his pocket. Who paid? Well other rich guys paid, but they never really pay, they raised prices! Trump, and his buddies, are not the solution, they are the problem. Need more, check out Trump buddy Musk, Cyber truck, Musk said $40,000 price now it's $100,000 at cheapest that's 150%. And Musk got a $46 billion, that's $46,000,000,0000 pay package. So why is the electronic car guy buddy buddy with President Fossil Fuel? He doesn't want it taxed. So, who pays for the rich trying to stay rich? American consumers and taxpayers. Trying to explain using those simple examples to get the truth across. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/05/trump-mar-a-lago-membership-price-hike https://www.insidehook.com/electric/tesla-changing-cybertruck-pricing-strategy/amp

Guys will see it different. Abortion for them should be framed from their perspective, either they or their children are trapped in a situation they would like to have a choice on. Imagine how a father of a rape victim feels about his daughter forced to bear a grandchild from a rapist. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-barron-andrew-schulz-comedian-abortion-ban-b2626993.html

Hi. I submitted the volunteer team lead form for Online Engagement and I haven't heard anything back yet. I was wondering who I should reach out to.

I am getting hit hard about this morning’s pundits and being on the defensive instead of redirecting journalists and countering with Harris’ very strong unity, family and middle class policies. Where do we post comments about this? I am getting attacked by my local Democrats about not having a strong showing against Trump pundits.

I don't understand why either and I'm way past middle age. My thought is there a subset of men between 30 and 50 who are products of private Christian schools and home schooling where basic biology and sex education didn't exist.

Unfortunately there was a huge lack of sex Ed even in public schools in the 90s-early 2000s as well.

Even before the 90's it was a joke in most public school settings. So I guess we have our answer, lol!

2024-10-13T20:34:13.112+00:00 by Valerie [ kiltinspector ] avatar

I disagree on sex ed in the 80-90s. I was in public schools and changed schools three times in three years and had to take it again at each school between 5th and 7th grades. It was a quality class that taught basics. Not abstinence.

2024-10-13T20:36:22.012+00:00 by Valerie [ kiltinspector ] avatar

Also, height of AIDS education so, there was a lot of information available about safe sex.

I’ve found at this point especially Trump voters are deeply immovably entrenched. They may have lost family, friends, coworkers over their devotion to their orange god. Nothing a total stranger posts will sway them. They are particularly resistant to logic and facts. My focus is on the reachable, perhaps a moveable middle, GOTV and vote curing.

oh absolutely! But I think if the moveable middle goes to Harris’s facebook page and sees only Trumpers with no dem support or pushback, that can sway them too (in a bad way). My goal has only been to dilute the mis and disinformation that plagues these pages for the sake of the middle and sane Republicans. 😉

Congress woman @pramilajayapal made this video in Detroit, MI yesterday where she is canvassing! DJT said in a rally this past weekend that he will take away citizenship and the right to #VOTE from naturalized citizens. This is important in so many critical ways to many of us here who have spent our best years in the US building and serving the communities around us! Share widely https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBHJX7BSbbD/ <@936622618293968958> IS THERE ANY VIDEO CLIPPINGS OF TRUMP SAYING THIS THAT THE CAMPAIGN TEAM CAN SHARE?

When and once Americans stop judging one individual skin tone and look at the outward actions of ones revealing the race for President and it's voting will go smoother...I don't know if mankind is afraid to move forward about the revealing of God's judgements towards America but he intended for all to want to be at least commonly at a stand position of what's already in the making...you don't know that the judging isn't for you to have a want it's the position to uphold the truthfulness of what's to coming...he is very picky about the representation of our Americans and the Republicans need to really step back and allow the way of the American people..and address the common way of recovery before the coming of God..and Madam Kamala Harris thankyou because you are stepping up especially in our time when the life of the innocent had been slain and covered up...I humbly thankyou

I got phone bank and friend bank facilitation with this campaign, work with PA Dems on their phone banks (I'm on their leadership team), I'm posting online with OE nonstop, I post with Join The Union PA as a part of their social media team, and I got a phone bank I work on with my own grassroots org that does voter outreach in PA. I think I need to go buy stock in Tim Hortons and Wawa considering all the coffee I'm going to need.

Some business leaders say they don't like Trump, but they like his economic policies vs Harris's policies. Nonsense. Those business leaders are either ignorant of the facts or they are not honest with themselves. Last night's Rachel Maddow show was a brilliant summary of the insanity of business people who support Trump for President. Please communicate part or all of this episode in business-oriented social media such as LinkedIn. Everyone in the business world needs to understand the tremendous advantages of Kamala Harris's plans and the Biden-Harris economy. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/rachel-maddow-calls-the-bluff-of-trump-supporters-who-claim-to-be-making-a-business-decision-221739589885

Hello everyone! Does someone here uses the Lemmon8 app?! I need HELP. I was minding my business and I am swarmed with magats. I have already answered over 200 comments nonstop. The thing is, answering comments regardless of what they are increases profile visibility and make Blue voters in that app feel see and supported. That app is full of magats kids rabidly parroting magat keywords or attacking other kids who understand Democracy. No worries, I am answering magats like this: “say Trump is you ARE VOTING for KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ USA USA USA 💙🇺🇸🦅💙🇺🇸 and attach images from the Reach app with Harris-Walz Campaing information.” OR “Comment anything if you VOTE KAMALA HARRIS 💙🇺🇸🦅💙🇺🇸🦅💙🇺🇸🦅💙💙 USA USA USA “ OR “Only AMERICAN PATRIOTS VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS 💙🇺🇸🦅💙🇺🇸🦅💙🦅 USA USA USA Even if it looks silly , that's how scrolling through the comments gets automatic attention.

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

Hi, the undecided voters may be changed due to Trump's crimes. Therefore, to broadcast Trump's threats to our country is a good point. The undecided voters are our target audience, and they will determine the outcome of this election.

“If you’ve suspected that you’re yelling into a void about the election on Instagram, Facebook or Threads, it might not be your imagination, either. Downplaying politics is a business and political strategy from Meta, the social media giant.

Good question. I am still learning about Reach. I mostly use the library to download stuff, but I don’t necessarily click all the way through to getting the points for all shares.

This is my personal Facebook (digital creator profile), but I also shared it to Harris for Texas (official space) where we limit Trump content deliberately. Too easy to get sucked into mocking him, commiserating etc. We need our energy for other things. However, I am pleased with the number of reactions and shares. That is rare.

Hi <@892601853873905697> The beauty of sharing content from Reach is you can also pull tag ideas from the suggested copy and/or the content category. By doing so, you can improve any SEO organically and increase the chances your post will get picked up by the platform's algorithm. You can find suggested copy and content categories by clicking share and scrolling down the popup tab. Lastly, I tend to use tags more often on Twitter, Instagram, Threads, Blue Sky, and TikTok vs. Facebook, but that is more about how I use that platform vs. the others. LMK if you have further questions!

I’ve been going through my contacts in reach. I’ve contacted friends and family in battleground states. Some people say they’ve voted already but the app doesn’t reflect that. It would be nice for there to be a way to indicate that someone says they’ve voted (by mail) already (to focus resources on people who haven’t and/or to come back to them at a later date). It’s great to reconnect with people I haven’t talked to in a while. A little bittersweet: friends have kids who are old enough to vote in their first election. They’re excited but that means I’m officially middle aged now which is not ok.

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 am trying to recruit people on facebook to sign up for events. one of my friends sent this feedback, which I thought I would pass on. "There is only one thing causing me to not want to bother to vote, and all I have to do is fill out a ballot and drop in the mail - the overwhelming amount of spam. Calls, emails, texts. Perhaps it's just me, but there is nothing more annoying than getting hundreds of these per week. Hundreds. I believe it is counterproductive."

The sooner they vote, the sooner they will stop being contacted. In my personal opinion, that's a poor reason not to vote. A lot of people care about it to make those calls, emails, and texts, and it's easy to unsubscribe from each one

Sorry for the delay reply <@822179761988042792>. You are welcome to use what feels natural for you in terms of direct messaging for grassroots social media. Of course, you will need to bear in mind general courtesy. 1) Assume the best intentions. 2. Practice default respect. No profanity or shaming of anyone regardless of differences. 3. Remain focused on Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and the positive momentum of the campaign. 4. Pivot when you encounter Mis-Info.

Yes, please avoid super intense experiences and be mindful of how challenges are discussed. We also don't want self promotion or promotion of other orgs. Sharing your socials is okay, but no pressure to subscribe or share in this space. PS: In addition, I would encourage you to post it on your personal social media, and then when you are here in this space, talk about the response you got or the process of creating it. Finally, how does this personal story inform your activism related to our campaign? Thanks.

Possible Meme Seed: Mocking Trump's Playlist vs Uplifting Kamala's Playlist. Doing a short reel split screen. One side is for Trump's portion to feature only silly lip-synching and captions as we don't want to include the actual music or artists, since it is not them we are mocking. On Kamala's side of course, we can have sound and images, which is more appealing. I am not a video maker, but I think that would be a creative way to show a contrast. 🤓

<@822179761988042792> - It makes sense to start with your personal story. just remember for this space, we are focused on how your personal experience motivates you to action around some issue or for the campaign in general. This focus should be the central point of what you produce.

I think this artist has been influencing her audience on the issues of rising food price, and farmers dignity. I added an expansion on her story and she liked it. I told her Kamala-Walz would be focusing on rising prices of essentials, foods, in-home healthcare, dignity for the farmers, workers alike. Which is vital for developing local economies. Trump is for the Billionaires and they don't care about the rise in food prices or any daily essentials which would profit his billionaires. This leads to broken families and eventually increases homelessness in the sociaty. I told her these things and she wants to, maybe consider writing further on this, it seems by her engagements with the idea. I don't like mocking Texans because they are all Trump and Elon Musk fans. Telling them the plans would help them, atleast understand that Kamala-Walz is a better option for them. I think so.

Like this is an ad I have been running with the viewers on my own stories. The former has been one of the positive responses I have got so far, to continue to work together. She can help influence voters, I think so, on grassroots engagements or even run ads on local concerts.

Even Stephen Colbert made a joke about this when he had Harris on. It drives me and my spouse nuts that we get so many messages a day, but we figure they must work (or I hope they do) else they wouldn't send them constantly. I have worried that they're turning some people off though.

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

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

Republican Leaning Polls: Here is a well-researched article that counters the main points in Rosenberg's article https://www.natesilver.net/p/are-republican-pollsters-flooding

Are Republican pollsters “flooding the zone?”

Thanks for posting - this is from Nate Silver, who Rosenberg argues is biased (I'm don't know how strong the evidence for that is). Silver admits that Republican polls are biased, but argues they are not strongly biased. This actually fits with Rosenberg's argument - he is saying they are trying to be very incremental, so that the bias is not noticed, but there is a cumulative effect on the aggregated results. He argues they did the same thing in 2022 but on a shorter timescale (because they started later), so they had to increase the bias which made it more noticeable (and there was a large discrepancy between the predicted "red wave" and what actually happened that year). The other key factor (according to Silver) is whether the various modelers posting aggregated summaries are properly adjusting for bias. Silver claims they are, whereas Rosenberg thinks they are not. Silver argues that all the modelers adjust, but do so with different methods, yet come to similar conclusions. I don't have a paid subscription so I couldn't read the complete article and so cannot comment on how convincing Silver's arguments are concerning the adjustments made by the modelers.

It can go the other way too. During 2016, the polls being so far ahead for Clinton, and the expectations set so much that she'd win meant some Democrats stayed home. I stopped looking at polls TBH. They might help campaigns spot where to deploy resources (or not) but for me they're just anxiety ridden click bate that feeds my addictive personality.

A quick personal story, if I may? My first career was law-adjacent. I was a discovery lead in civil/class-action lawsuits here in my home state of California. Often, this meant I was tracking down documents and/or people who didn't want to be found and once I did, ensuring that evidence/testimony/affadavits were shared with all attorneys of record. Something I learned then that is applicable today: Follow the money. Follow the story (or metadata/digital footprints). Fortunately, and in this case, I didn't have to dig that far. I looked into who produced the video and what any incentive might be. Unfortunately, I question its validity and its timing; this video you shared is the second in a week with a dubious provenance with the intent to cast doubt (or worse) on the character of our candidates. I am not going to link what I found because I do not want to drive traffic/eyeballs to those sites. Your friend isn't ready. She may never be. At this point, you may consider what you want to do with this relationship and/or what is safe and reasonable for you both. FWIW: I'm sorry.

And not necessarily with the intent to waste your time, but to feel valid and justified (especially when they know that they aren't overall, and they're desperate to feel that way).

Sorry for the delay, I didn't see this yesterday! In these last 2 weeks before the election, we've shifted our focus from interacting with online communities to reaching out to the voters in our lives and making sure they have everything they need to get out the vote. Because of that, we don't have our survey in Reach anymore, but you can report back on individual interactions within your contact's profile on Reach! If you're not sure how to access your contacts in Reach or want more guidance on how to have these conversations, sign up for our [GOTV Bootcamp](<https://events.democrats.org/event/703304/>) or our [GOTV Power Hour](<https://events.democrats.org/event/721238/>) <:happysun1:1270566006590541896>

This is an amazing post from a well-known lawyer. He makes the case that Trump would end the rule of law, which would destroy much of what is great about our country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bTpbDL5dcg

It is so hard to speak politics to someone who feels differently than you. I've tried and those ppl are too far gone (🤷🏻‍♀️) to be able to speak to them rationally. I don't get it. Pls have Dr. Bandy X Lee forensic psychiatrist at one of your rallies to speak about the Trump Contagion and the dangers of Donald Trump! Pls! She will do it! Her and 44 other psychiatrists from Harvard and Yale are trying to get the word out but they have being squashed. Let's let them speak the truth about the mental health other Republican candidate and the danger we will all be in if the unspeakable happens. 💙🇺🇸

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

<@1113556708342636656> has a great idea to design a profile frame, or ideally several for some variety. "Can someone create a Facebook profile frame and put it on the Facebook Frame choice area? Nothing specifically there for Harris-Walz yet." Thanks, Katherine.

I have successfully infiltrated (lol) several Trump supporting social media sites. I have been engaging in meaningful conversations about WHY I am not voting for Trump. A win is when I inform them that he wants to dissolve the department of education and because of his convoluted laws regarding the border, he has allowed more people to cross into the United States. I need feedback though- Many of my friends are Jewish and they are voting for Trump based solely on the fact they believe he will save Israel. Despite the fact that he has angers many world leaders. What else can I tell them besides Kamala’s stance on Israel, and the fact Doug is Jewish? Thank you to everyone for the wonderful job! Kamala for the Win!!

It is more about the fact that several Muslims in office are what scares them. I tell them about Islamophobia as a form of racism, but they lump all Muslims into being terrorist. I find supporting documents to prove there are not radical Muslims in the party, but they don’t believe me. Many think they all are members of BDS, which they are not supporters of, and don’t support UNWRA.

Often times people relate best with emotions... so could you share anyone's story that may resonate with them? If not, some people just like the taste of that koolaid

<@853021260849479740> Bill Maher on RealTime New Rules did a good segment against the far left. Still the vast majority of Democrats support Israel. I think there's equivalents on the far right to our far left and maybe you could equate that. There are lots of extremists on the far right and you have some people who don't want a genocide on our far left. Maybe that's oversimplifying, but a Harris administration seems to me will be very centrist.

Thank you for that. One more personal story I shared is how the department of education funds schools, and I mention how my public school education helped me. Under his administration, he will only fund Schools that teach his curriculum and how that will raise their taxes.

Thank you. I sent her the video of Bill Maher speaking about the Middle East and how they are not colonizers. This does a great job of telling people how and why zionists are not colonizers, and why Israel is not committing genocide when I speak to others who bring up Israel. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1547266939216002?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e&mibextid=jpBbYv&fs=e&s=TIeQ9V

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.

Is anyone running into issues with being majorly suppressed by Instagram?? I went from 40-80 views per story to 1-2 views per story in ONE DAY. And that’s even with me posting around the same time each day. I don’t have any community violations. I didn’t post anything weird. Just Kamala stuff from HQ and from progressive influencers. This is also not due to lack of interest from my followers—I get good engagement when my stories are actually shown.

This could cause latency and/or throttle your content going out to your followers. If you haven't already, save your post and redo it with one thing different--preferably less political. Then post both at roughly the same time and watch the performance. Doing so is a way to split test with the intention to rule out a shadow ban.

First of all, if you can peek into their posting history to see if they have any opening for persuasion. Then, start with acknowledging them. "I understand, the system sucks and we never seem to get candidates we can agree with on 100% of the issues" Then, break down the lie... "The Dems don't control the House, and legislation to reinstate Roe V Wade must go through the house." Then close with positive... "Kamala Harris has fought her entire career for the people and will place reproductive rights at the top of her agenda."

Right off the bat.. abortion laws and opinions are wildly different between the parties. One is fighting to maintain reproductive rights and the other tearing it apart based on personal feelings.

Its totally understandable to be burnt out with the world we're in right now... but things won't change unless people stand up and say ENOUGH. TX, for example, isn't a red state... it is a state with the majority not voting. If we could get them voting.... and with a view of a positive future filled with joy... imagine what that could change? Now imagine doing that in every state?! How great a world we could live in! We have to keep hope for the future and help others do the same. If not, that person is right and things won't ever get better.

So, I have been spending most of my campaign time in Reddit. Lately, I have been scrolling through comments looking for ways to engage persuadable voters. This post in the Pennsylvania subreddit has mostly postive comments, but saddly, the negative ones seemed beyond persuasion. So, instead, I found several opportunities to motivate "already voted" folks for volunteering. It produced a couple of really great exchanges. So, in the end, very worthwhile. https://www.reddit.com/r/Pennsylvania/comments/1gb5ix8/opinion_kamala_harris_is_the_right_choice_for/

That was my initial thought. Then I realized they were just dooming from Ohio. I encouraged them to find other ways of taking action and they said they were likely to still vote for Harris anyway. The big thing was to avoid vote scolding them as you're right they were kinda looking for a fight. Refusing to give it to them defused the situation.

On the Palestine issue you might point people in the future to something like this that shows DJT is talking to Netanyahu frequently and sabotaging ceasefire negotiations: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/1gc639j/things_are_really_out_of_control/. The claim that Dems are moving farther to the right is false—Biden's been the most progressive Dem we've had in decades. I wish these folks understood better how the govt works.

Hi again. Well I downloaded the Reach app and was going to upload my video to the Wisconsin site (I heard they were having troubles there) but alas I have to shrink the video from 7 minutes to 3 minutes. I am trying to figure it out on the fly with the video editor but I keep crashing and burning. Is there someone here who is fantastic at video editing who could help me shrink this video while keeping the message intact? If not, no worries, I will keep playing around with it. The video link is at 11:38 am Eastern in this channel.

Question for everyone: I have been made aware that there are people in You Tube saying that when Kamala told some people chanting, apparently, in support of Jesus while she was talking about the Supreme Court Court overturning Roe v Wade and its ramifications, she told them "they were at the wrong rally." I have a friend who is truly undecided about who to vote for and what she saw on You Tube about this bothers her a great deal as she thinks that Kamala was mocking Christians. What do I say to her and what actions of Kamala I can point to in order to win her vote?

Hey There <@913060026950746133> ! This has been debunked. Harris was responding to hecklers and as security was escorting them out, they continued shouting but a different set of phrases. Harris is a woman of faith and she has spoken about it throughout the campaign. If you have access to Reach, there may be some content to share from there which could be helpful to continue the discussion.

If you listen carefully to the video you can hear someone in the crowd yelling "lies." (The White House transcript quoted "Lies. Lies. That's a lie.") It was then that Vice President Harris told them they were at the wrong rally. Their Jesus chanting occurred afterward.

<@771458641277878303> - I am no expert. Some tips come to mind. 1) Use a great photo or video image with your post. 2) Keep it short, whether written or spoken words. Asking questions is a great method of inviting engagement. 3) Tag people to share it, either in the post or in comments. 4) Add topical hashtags to make it searchable. 5) When people like it, react and comment. Invite them to like your content. 6) Find related content feeds, groups or pages to share it to that have a wider audience. Be careful of any rules. 🙂

I wish we had more specific times for you. I think youre probably good with after 8pm. She's the headliner so I also wouldn't expect her on before then (especially based on what we've seen with her other events).

Hey Guys, I work in digital marketing and I think the media generally doesn't do a great job of being critical of Trump because they too often try to just focus on the latest crazy thing instead of putting everything into a broader exhaustive context, and doing that in a simple and visual way. It's really difficult for people to hold all of the craziest bits of the last 8+ years in their short term memory. The New York Times has some decent visualizations but usually these projects are behind their paywall. So one of the thoughts I had was to create a site that shows conservative "reviews" of Trump in a visual way almost like looking at product reviews or something...I didn't have time to do that, but I did put this together which could be posted as a single layout or as social posts. Any thoughts and would anyone happen to have decent social reach for something like this? A dedicated "Trump Job References" social timeline would be cool, but probably difficult to build followers for an account like that account in a short time.

Some tips come to mind. 1) Use a great photo or video image with your post. 2) Keep it short, whether written or spoken words. Asking questions is a great method of inviting engagement. 3) Tag people to share it, either in the post or in comments. 4) Add topical hashtags to make it searchable. 5) When people like it, react and comment. Invite them to like your content. 6) Find related content feeds, groups or pages to share it to that have a wider audience. Be careful of any rules. 🙂

How do you add searchable Hashtags, say for a video already made on YouTube? I am learning as I go.

For anyone canvassing, making calls, texting, and talking to family, friends, and neighbors: immigration is a top issue that comes up. This week, US border patrol confirmed illegal crossings are now as low as they were at the end of the Trump administration. I was surprised by that stat myself! Here is a link to the news story: https://www.cbsnews.com/video/illegal-border-crossings-fall-lowest-level-since-2020/

The illegal crossings issue isn't as salient in my circles as countering the narrative that Harris is just as right wing on immigration as Trump is. We know it's a lie but the general consensus is that the border bill she's pledged to sign is still a bad bill. That said I've seen other commentary that the bad parts are all rhetoric and the actual bill INCREASES immigration overall. Anybody got a breakdown on that I can share?

Do you have each "reference" as a single image file? I think Reddit might be a good place for this. We build the channel, post each image as a separate post, and do some crossposting to get eyeballs. Could be fun.

Hey There <@531166525160423425> ! Good early catch! You're not the only one who uploaded their videos to YT and then realized hashtags would help an audience find the video. There are a couple of ways to do this including having them appear next to your title or along with your video's description. This can be done as you're uploading or after the fact in YouTube Studio. I found this video helpful: https://youtu.be/Z4MQu3vOT0g?si=UO_NS_f6hsB66GUN As to which hashtags to use, ask yourself what your video is about and put yourself in someone else's shoes and ask yourself what is it you're looking for. You can also search various hashtags to see what is popular and/or what fits your video's vibe. Good luck and have fun!

I know it sounds trivial, but it's not. The movie was built to analyze debates between conservative and liberal factions and what really matters. It's a lot easier to drag folks into an experience then through the mud of campaign rhetoric.

It's a long, long list of who is related to whom among Democrats making a case for all of us being related so the system is rigged.

Quick idea for direct contact: for those who do shares from Reach, Campaign Socials, Supporter Content or original content, maybe try sharing via direct message or small group as opposed to your general feed, if you are not already doing this. Another option is to text to any friends not on social media. <@1280619651029798924> and an OE leads that want to add ideas.

Did noone catch what Jason Miller said during that "rally" last night?: "America is for Americans and Americans Only". That is a very close translation of the famous Nazi phrase "Deutschland den Deutschen, Auslander Raus!" ("Germany for the Germans, Foreigners Out!"). How ironic that it was uttered by a (self-hating) Jew. Is there some way to get more exposure to this? This was not by accident.

I think I saw the one you're talking about on Tiktok. It is definitely getting around.

Btw, I showed my Mom that clip of the singing group from England, she loved it but she also was very impressed that this site is taking the high road and posting uplifting videos and messages. I agree. Kudos Moderators.

<@663410272110772226> - I don't believe so. Are there questions that we could answer?

I just received a you tube video from Mark Porter in NJ. He identifies himself as a retired newspaper editor, seemed genuine. The video is called "Admire" and I admit I am curious to see it, but, of course have not opened it. I have copied the url. Is there anyone I should pass it on to?
