  1. Has he answered on how he will vote on the Florida ballot issue? He can't pretend philosophy on federalism. He needs to say whether the right to abortion should be added to the Florida constitution.
  2. Jesus. That means each volunteer would need to knock on 24 doors to canvass every person in the state. They are going to need to figure out creative ways to use that many volunteers. I hope they don't just throw them at phone banks.
  3. Sure, if you get the sauce, it’s prego time.
  4. Ok, I have been a spectator at a spaghetti wrestling event. Bigger pool than that one, but same idea. It was more hipster-weird than redneck-creepy. Run by a little art studio. All volunteers, all body types, male and female. Fun time. I still have a picture of spaghetti dangling from an overhead cable.

    Yeah, but we need them to vote for Harris. Yeah, but we need them to vote for Harris.

    My thoughts are vary similar to chainsaw. Politically, I get it. I'm maybe less worried about losing votes in Michigan. I am a little worried about sapping enthusiasm from the youth vote. But I am not a pollster, I don't do focus groups, and certainly Harris's team are professionals who know their shit. My only credible argument, or fear, politically is that polling younger generations has gotten tougher and sometimes professionals mess up. I am more concern from a policy standpoint. And the sentence that bothered me was "Let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself." I have generally always been pro-Israel. I remember a camp survivor coming to my grade school to show his number tattoo. I get that Israel isn't just some restitution for WW2, but a safe haven for a minority that has had to deal with similar shit for centuries. But, somewhere along the line, I realized there was a difference between "supporting Israel" and "supporting Israel no matter what." And, I think that distinction gets lost. I saw Kamala's statement as "no matter what." And what's more, we all know Bibi watched it. So did all the Likud leaders who might come later. And what they just watched is Kamala Harris demonstrating that military support of Israel is a political necessity. They don't need to do anything for it. So, yeah, I'm disappointed in that sentence.
  7. I see a tweet from Stein on the first part. Are you sure about the 250 and under? One reason I ask is that I would expect a bunch of “double-max” donors yesterday. There is a max donation for the primary and for the general. As soon as Harris accepted the nomination, her general started and a bunch of “double max” donors could finish out their pledge. But those donations are $3300 each phase now.
  8. Over/under on how long before he rescinds the endorsement? I’m saying 4 weeks.
  9. The problem with fact checking is that it requires either trusting the fact checker or effort on the audience to check the source material. While Kamala should still call bullshit, that just shows it’s disputed. But weird is self-evident. Counting “the I’s instead of the lies” is also easy to show. Trump is going to complain about all the injustices that have been done to him, and Harris needs to hammer that. He’s just a whiny rich boy who can’t stand not having everything he wants, especially a second term.
  10. Pennsylvania is the biggest concern (tightest percentages) for the rust belt swing states. But, it may just take a while to get Kamala signs, particularly if the old man is not great at the inter webs. He might not get one until someone knocks on his door. I am hopeful the very active UAW support helps in PA.
  11. That’s an interesting extrapolation from one word. I can write up a longer explanation in the Israel thread tonight, if you’re interested.
  12. That's like the ninth rule of fight club in the unrated director's cut. It's why the first two rules is you don't talk about it.
  13. I would guess they audit the contributions and have to return ones that aren't proper, like folks that have gone over the limit.
  14. In the past, I believe there has been a delay between when trolls racks up the negatives and when they are gone. Not sure why. But I wouldn't be surprised to see him gone tomorrow.
  15. https://secure.actblue.com/ (Second night in a row I've posted that. You can also donate to other races using the same site.)
  16. There is no modern Roman Empire. You’re an idiot who doesn’t understand the difference between Ancient Rome, run by dictators, and America. Go slink back to your fantasies.
  17. A protest is a peaceful movement.
  18. Excellent. That only works if people are watching it. He just told his cult to watch something outside their bubble.
  19. Appears to be swing state night.
  20. I assume it's the people in charge of the resources (the Sheriff) who would be jeopardy. I assume the Dems just want to let other Sheriff's know the law and that they may have to spend money on lawyers if they give Trump more free venues. Also, fuck the police, particularly in this instance.

    Do you honestly believe they would have received a speaking slot at the DNC to criticize Israel and current US policy towards Israel had they just pledged their support ahead of time? Really? I think y'alll are just writing bullshit down because you think it supports some argument that they are dumb or naive.

    Ok, so now they are getting attention. But, it's only attention from the public, and politicians don't pay attention to what the public is paying attention to. Do you maybe want to take a few minutes to construct a post that isn't complete bullshit?

    Attention is the currency of politics. Lobbying groups spend millions of dollars to get attention from politicians. Politicians spend orders of magnitude more to get attention from the public. Not sure, but I guess if they didn't get any, then it didn't do any harm, right.
