She's given the exact same speech every single day, verbatim.  Needs to add a few new wrinkles.

You want her to riff like this guy?

How can they possibly believe we were more respected under him?

They think he's a strong, successful businessman--and the rest of the world perceives him as such--because he played one on television.

Oh that I agree, stay pissed and vigilant.  But the fact is this is momentum the Democratic party has not had since Obama.

I'm seeing people enthused about Kamala that I didn't think really gave a shit about politics, so that's good.  I'm not seeing a lot of the MAGA in my life plastering their social media/FB with Trump shit like in 2016 and especially 2020 - not that they won't vote, but they used to be like fucking cross fitters and wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.

  Even FoxNews seems to be calling out the flailing Trump party...and not because they don't love them some Trump...I think they're just realizing what's best for their bottom line.  And they're all 'me' people, that we know...

Four years of a Black woman in the White House would help Fox News pay off some of those lawsuits, as well as upcoming lawsuits.

I always get the impression that Lankford is a decent person.  He's nice and sort of repulsed by the POSs he represents.  Yet he somehow convinced them to elevate him.

He's a piece of shit.  Full stop. 

 

Read his record

don't give him a pass on this. he's just a horrible person who looks down on other people - for a whole host of reasons. My future BIL quipped while drunk one time, "Parents are just better people." I think there are a lot of people who have had children that feel that they are simply better humans by virtue of having had children - most just don't say it out loud. Even fewer say it on a microphone while running for office. 

I'm not giving him a pass at all. It's a phenomenally twisted, apparently at least somewhat sincerely held stance - which seems to be an outlier for him - that also fails to withstand even basic logical scrutiny.

I just like how she takes Trumps perceived strength on the issue and sticks it up his ass. 

In case you are wondering, I think the last few pages have proved why I think it's a good ad for a targeted audience, but probably shouldn't be a centerpiece of her campaign.

You and dozens of other people think this.

 You’re not “the base.” You’re comfortably left of Ilhan Omar. So you don’t have any accurate perspective of what “the base” thinks. Your political views are a minority and generally upset the base who we actually need to win this election. 
 

everyone here thinks immigrants play a key part of this economy and are a net good. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have policies in place as opposed to “fuck it, let them across and don’t bother doing anything. 

Actually, there were a lot of people pissed about it, including the ACLU and most immigrant advocacy groups.  Let me repeat: groups whose entire charter is to help immigrants were pissed about Biden's jump to the right on the issue. Obviously, it's not a big issue to you, but it is to them. It would have continued to build the wall, beefed up the deeply flawed Border Patrol, loosened the hiring standards for BP, increased the burden of proof for asylum seekers, and allowed rejection of asylum seekers without a day in court.  It had some good stuff too, but it didn't have a path to citizenship for Dreamers, which was always a major negotiation point, even during Trump's presidency.  

I'm going to vote for Kamala barring some insane shift in her position, or a serious mental health issue on my part.  I assume chainsaw will as well.  The people on this board are not the concern.  But if this compromise made so much sense, the Dems would have offered up years ago. They only did so now because they were getting hammered on the border politically and Biden tied it in with support for Ukraine. Trump has changed how the Democrats approach immigration policy, and that pisses me off.  I think Harris's position makes sense to politically to blunt Trump's attack, but she needs to be careful on it. 

Also, a few pages back there was some shit how we should "just let it go" when disaffected Republicans talk about their Republican beliefs on Twitter, because they might vote for Harris.  Ok.  But in the interest of coalition building, perhaps that should also be applied to the actual Democrats expressing Democratic beliefs.

Yeah, because when I think of winning elections, I think of Beto O'Rourke

Too bad GOP election officials in the state will prevent it from being certified. 

What is this fear mongering? Yall really think Biden would allow this? If anyone tries anything that even seems remotely fucked, you arrest them.

Talking to Beto to figure out how to win elections sounds like a shitty idea. 

Maybe they are going to do the opposite!

Seems to me that most of the people who bitch about the Olympics opening ceremony appear to believe it is the production of some US based firm or is taking place in the US.

magats everywhere will be boycotting France....again, soon.  Boycotting a country they could never afford to vacation in and who doesn't want them there, anyway. 

Thank god. I love France and I don’t want to run into MAGAs there.

Whining on social media about the opening ceremonies of a country they don't live in seems a lot like the "virtue signaling" the right claims the left always does.

It's Bama. Found the original quote on Wikipedia:

"Between Paoli and Penn Hills, Pennsylvania is Alabama without the blacks. They didn't film The Deer Hunter there for nothing – the state has the second-highest concentration of NRA members, behind Texas."

For North Alabama, that's dead-on. If you got kidnapped by a PA/AL cartel and dumped in the woods of either state in your underwear you'd be hard-pressed to tell where you were until you tried to buy beer in a gas station. Beer = Bama. No Beer but it's a Sheetz or a Wawa = Penna.

(Let me get this tweed jacket on and light this pipe) Beyond that, Carville actually got it backwards. It's Alabama that's Pennsylvania minus Philly and Pennsylvania Dutch. When central PA was first settled it was heavy with Irish types who had 8 kids, and some went west, some stayed home, and the rest piled down along the Appalachian ridges through all those states and the last one was Bama. (There's hill in Mississippi that they sometimes claim as the end of the Appalachians-- they lie.)

We can buy beer in gas stations here now!

The reason "weird" works is that it touches the core of GOP's insecurities. They are so very concerned with being the "in" group, as evidenced by their constant screeching over media, Hollywood, tech, and pop-culture being aligned against them. Its why they cling so desperately to their B and C list celebrities, and why they elevate no-name mumble rappers simply bc the they're wearing a MAGA hat.

Calling them Nazis or racists really doesn't move the needle. They just smirk and embrace it. But "weird" is the kid who got ignored at school and ate lunch alone. 

This nails it about their reaction to weird better than anything else I've heard. After all, they're fucking fascists whether they know it or not.

In groups, out groups. Protect but don't bind. Bind but don't protect. They're fine with all that and only dread being one of the "outs." 

Also, they assume we'll do to them what they'd gladly do to us.

Specifically what? You can just say “yeah she still has the same problems” and not give specific examples.

Well and the shit they're "weird" about shouldn't be that controversial when you point it out. It's weird to be against IVF if one of your goals is to want people to be able to have children. It's weird to be against birth control. It's weird to want to force people to have children. It's weird to say people who choose to not have children are unhappy, cat ladies. Vance is the living embodiment of all things weird that the new MAGA GOP is subscribing to. He is the literal MAGA fringe on display for all to see. If this is what it takes to show people who haven't been paying attention to what their possible future could be then have at it and go at them with both barrels.

So Kelly is out. But the remaining 3 are governors. I feel like it's Shapiro since they're starting in Philly.

Romney introduced Ryan in Virginia

Hillary introduced Kaine in Florida

She just needs to 3 yards and a cloud of dust this thing until November.    

A two-yard out to John Chiles every now and then would be good to change it up and keep the Trump defense on its heels.
