Last time I drove by the Biden sign is gone with nothing replacing it. 

I don't think the Harris signs are available yet.  Someone on here posted they ordered one and it wasn't expected to ship until September.

I've previously written about a Jewish relative who had always been a reliable Democratic Party voter, but had declared that she would not be voting for any Democrats this cycle due to her perception that they were not supportive of enough of Israel.  She reiterated this to me again after some of the protests outside the DNC gained publicity earlier in the week.

She texted me this morning that Kamala's speech earned her vote.

I had pretty much the exact same thing happen with one of my aunts (Jewish as well). Her position is very silly but I didn't want to bust her up over it. Given what I know about her, her threats to not vote D for president were likely hollow, but I laid out pretty clearly for her how much worse Trump is for both Israelis and Palestinians in both the short and long runs anyway.

Like I said, she was likely voting blue either way, but I told her to stop listening to John Fetterman (she is Pennsylvanian) and instead read between the lines of what Kamala has been saying.

If you have extra to donate and would like an efficient way to spend it on swing state and "tossup" races to help re-take the House and other key offices, check out this site set up by the guy behind @ lolgop. The links and funds go directly to Act Blue so you can be certain it's both legit and effective.

I think it's interesting how two massive states are closer to the center on the republican side than the massive democratic states are to their sides center. They're so fucking fucked.

Long term, yes. That’s why they’re pulling out the stops to win now and dismantle everything.

Is this a quote from Trump or is this your own dumbfuckery? Because it's stupid as fuck either way.

Sticking point in whether Kennedy will endorse Diaper Don: He needs to apologize for the one reasonable thing he did in his 4 year term, probably by accident.

And one dumb white lady who “still isn’t voting” which means Trump 

They are all dumb for still having been undecided at this point

That would be hilarious to see Donald actually be reduced to admitting he did something wrong, just to get the crumb of support that RFK Jr could provide.

I don't understand this, like at all. His base is very much in favor of a nationwide abortion ban, it's been programed into them since at least the early 80s. The Harris campaign should screenshot that and make it a commercial on Fox News. Make their viewers lose their mind that their conservative god is a baby killer.

He is a dumb malignant narcissist who has had enough money through life to insulate himself from his true identity.  Which is — at best — the failed fortunate son of a multi-millionaire and hated by a majority of Americans and a vast majority of the people he wished viewed him as a peer.  More and more people are seeing him for what he truly is and are flocking to oppose him, more and more people are speaking out against him, the crowds that used to fuel him are diminishing, all of which further erodes his self-image and leads to him to have to confront the truth of his existence.

I believe we are witnessing the disintegration of his identity and psyche.

Agreed.  It was pretty impressive.  When she first took over the nomination I was of the opinion it wasn't likely she would have risen to the top of a true open Democratic primary.  After watching that speech (which is the definitively the most I've paid attention to her since the 2020 nomination process) I think pretty likely she would have come out on top in any event.  Not that it matters now, but in hindsight in an alternative scenario where Biden was still running, he really should have put her more in the spotlight. She had low favorability partially because she didn't seem to really do much or be highlighted as VP.  I was (wrongly) in the category believing she was a liability to Biden.   But the Kamala we saw last night would have put any concern about her taking over for Biden to bed.  Of course, that might have been the exact reason Biden staffers didn't want to put her in the spotlight if they were trying to avoid Biden stepping down.

In any event - I have not gone back and read the thread but I assume the consensus is she absolutely knocked it out of the park and I agree.

Instead of an increase in a blue state, I’m putting the overall election poll. Too damn close

Yeah, I don't remember being very much impressed with her in the 2020 primaries, but she's killing it right now.

I keep hearing people say this. I honestly don’t recall seeing enough of her to make an assessment. The debates had so many people onstage none of them had a chance to stand out IMO. I think every debate she was in had like 10 participants 

Harris folks need to post that picture of trump to their socials every day. Nothing else, just the picture.

A Harris/Walz campaign office opened up on North Loop, a block or two from the Home Slice. You might be able to get signs there

I still think at least a token shot at Ohio is warranted.  But I'll defer to the campaign wonks, they've been doing a pretty good job so far.

exactly. they don't have the war chest that H/W have. they can afford to sprinkle some money in Texas. it's good investment and should it pay off now, awesome. but I'm sure the plan is to put Texas in play in the next few elections

and just a quick editorial but the 180 we're seeing here is breathtaking. I guess the Dems finally got tired of being punched and called weak and are finally punching back. The gloves are off and I don't see us going back. She said it herself. All the old tropes are gone. This is a new era and I'm 100% here for it

Fuck it, just go motivate Texans who don't vote, win the state and then make the GOP blow part of their legal wad challenging the results there.

Watching the MAGA and MAGAQ go after each other in the replies is both scary and exhilarating.
