The DNC 100% needs to have as many plants on social media and such as possible selling that message.  The ultimate measure of support for Trump is NOT voting; voting is for deep state libtards.  Register your patriotic protest by refusing to play the communist libtards' "voting" game!

New motto: when they do low we call them weird nerds and knock them down and hit them with their own hands while shouting “why are you hitting yourself,” until their toadies slink away, lest the same happen to them.

FUCK.

YES.

You can't convince these fucking psychos and weirdos that they're wrong....but you CAN shame and embarrass them enough that they stay home.  We don't need a few million Trump supporters to change their votes to Harris.  We just need them to stay home.

Gotta have the hits spread throughout. I hope Taylor Swift gets involved in a few weeks when her tour wraps for a break. Perfect timing for her to throw her gasoline around. We need an all hands on deck approach. Stifle these fucks with powerful people they can’t even dream of.

Her first order of business is to define herself.  Starting out with negative ads is not a good idea - she needs to quickly start making sure voters know who she is and what she stands for first.  

GDP 2Q - 2.8% - above expectations, consumer spending above expectations, jobless claims down (again) - more economic good news for Harris (and Joe)

Emerson / Memerson (with corresponding Senate race)

Arizona Trump +5 (Gallego +4)
Georgia Trump +2
Michigan Trump +1 (Slotkin +5)
Pennsylvania Trump +2 (Casey +4)
Wisconsin Tie (Baldwin +6) 

Harris improved on Joe's numbers by +3 on average against their last polls.  And Trump is still stuck in the 46-48 range.  

It would be interesting to look at what some of these specific polls said in the previous election at this time. What did AZ have trump up then?

The Obama rumor is just silliness

I literally read it as a joke.

I overheard magatards at the bar saying this exact thing.

I hope they pull some stupid shit. The capitol will be a fucking fortress.

Elon buying Twitter was an enormous blow that can’t really be measured.  I think this gets overlooked in the discussion.  Another cryptofashy dipshit getting that weapon was one of the worst things to happen over the last four years. 

Yes Elon is the worst. But he’s only creating a right wing echo chamber. I’m not sure how much that is moving the needle with independents.

Also, in that Fox interview just posted you can see the only card he has to play is “they are destroying our country”, which is of course literal bullshit. His campaign is nothing but hate, division, lies, and chaos. That plays well with maga but I think other voters are so tired of that nonsense and ready to move on from him. I hope.

Side-note, they way the fellatio him with “Mr. President” is fucking disgusting.

She should promise free concerts to the three cities that register the most new voters. 

She definitely needs to do something along these lines. We are similar in age, and this is simply the most important election of our lives. And now we have an exciting candidate to rally behind. I haven’t felt this optimistic in a while.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2020/arizona/

Biden around 50 and Trump in the mid 40s. Of course, this ended up being wrong. However, polling has been a shit show this year, and Harris has been the candidate for a couple days. I would wait on polling until after VP pick, convention, Trump’s sentencing, and the rate cuts.

So, why "on the verge"?  Why wait?  Is this just timing staged to add another jolt of excitement?  

The timing is probably part of it. Claire McCaskill was talking on her How to Win podcast about how many Democrats endorsed her so quickly and how they might want the remaining ones to stagger it out a little bit for the sake of appearance.

But Obama didn’t immediately endorse her because he didn’t want to look like he was putting his thumb on the scales. He withheld his endorsement during the primaries in 2016 too. Kamala just recently locked up enough delegates to secure the nomination so Obama’s endorsement is a matter of course. I can understand wanting to make an event out of it that will draw some eyeballs rather than just having him release a statement.

lol i'm starting to think this guy really doesn't want to win 🤨

This is about the timeframe of the 2020 campaign, where he was floating the idea that the ONLY way he could lose would be a rigged/stolen election BS. I remember him claiming they had all the votes they needed back then as well. Dude is playing the greatest hits. Its all he has.

And this.

The Dem strategy has to include keeping up a relentless cascade of good news/momentum.  If you don't flood the zone, the Trumpists flood it with their insane shrieking lies.  So, fill the airwaves with "this respected person loves and supports me....and then THIS respected person supports and loves me....and here's THIS big piece of economic good news.....and isn't Taylor's new song "Harris is Fucking Awesome" a banger?"

He’ll probably have a victory speech at 5pm est on election day.  At least he isn’t around to pressure the post office on removal of mailboxes to prevent mail-in votes.

The problem isn't that the economy isn't growing, it's that the growth is disproportionately benefiting the elite.  The vast majority of Americans aren't reaping the rewards of the economic growth.

World's top 1% gained $42 trillion over the last decade, taxes at record lows

And right there in your link text is the opening for Dems to remind people that it was liberal policies that built an economy that actually grew for the middle class and not just the elites.

If economy is truly the #1 thing on the persuadable folks minds, you have to lean in, you have to make your case. Then, if you want another term, you have do deliver.

The Right has had yet another shot at showing us that laissez-faire tendencies are the rising tide that lifts all boats, and have, once again proven their thesis WRONG. I think the persuadables are correct. The economy isn't working for the bottom 4 quartiles. We are badly in need of a course correction.

I doubt you can sell social democracy in 90 days, but you can sell individual policies to strengthen worker protections and benefits. 

Elections are about giving things to people. Trump is giving his wealthy donors lower taxes and less regulation, and to his poorer cult followers, he's giving them increased self-worth by elevating them above brown people. Make this election about shifting subsidies away from the top 1% and towards the other 99%, and fulfilling the promise that we consider all people equal. Own the economy as an issue. But understand that the reason it is an issue is it is very much not growing for most people.

Holy shit. It's happening. They are figuring it out. 

Instantly reminded me of a Buttigieg rally where a kid asked him how to handle bullies. 

 

So good. Hopefully our president in 2032.

He has behaved for all 3 elections like a fix was in. 

Well, there IS a fix that's in: a lot of people really hate giant assholes.  He is locked out of the "I hate giant assholes" vote.

The challenge is that a lot of other people apparently really LOVE giant assholes.

Where the fuck is the official outlet for these? I cannot find it. 

It was posted by George Conway on Threads - likely coming from an email distribution list I'd guess.

ETA it was a press release.

Was he trying for like a witty Yogi Berra-ism, "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" kinda thing? 

"Nobody voted for me because I had too many votes."???  I get that he's trying to encourage voter suppression, but of his own base?  That seems like a weird play, even for him.

Tell me, who do you think is seeing the benefit of the 2.8% growth in the economy?  The low-level workers, or the executives?

Tickle down economics, bruh.

As for me, I'm much classier, and dig the frenchies.  That's why I only get it on with settees and divans.  They're the Catherine Denueve of couches.  Ohh la la.

I think the morons on the couch picked up on it and were trying to get him off the phone as quickly as possible.
