[SamAndreas]

Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:

She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

I had brought it up before and this video shows swing voters don't like it either.

Meanwhile, Fox actually repeats a heinous GOP internet meme about Harris. It’s completely misogynistic and racist (playing into the racist Jezebel stereotype).

I would encourage the GOP to keep this up. This is a great way to drive people to vote for Harris instead of your racist, sexist arses.

No convention bounce...I wonder if the electorate has become so polarized and dug in that those are just a thing of the past?

New Yahoo News/YouGov poll: Just 28% of Americans say assassination attempt 'changed Trump for the better'

The results suggest that one of the most eventful periods in recent U.S. history has had little effect on Trump’s political standing.

What's changed is that instead of arguing over what percentage of taxes should go here or there, or what our policy should be toward nation X, now the stakes are your life if you're a woman or an unarmed black man, or your full citizenship if you're gay, trans or highly tanned.

Love this. And I would like to posit that the Democrats didn’t start this demonization of the other side. It’s been building for decades with some truly awful people and culminated with Trump, who took the awful stuff that was quietly discussed on talk radio that almost nobody listened to, and obscure corners of the internet and made it the mainstream message of the Republican Party. So much so that I find the internet these days to be filled with extreme messages about women, black people, Jews, gay and trans people. Worse than at any other time in my life, and I am old.

I was an independent voter my entire life. Brought up that way by my mom - always vote for the best person, not ever just because of the party they belong to. That served me well, until about 8-9 years ago. The GOP has lost me forever. Won’t ever vote GOP ever again.

I think the Biden news took some of the momentum from the RNC. They had a good convention. No empty chairs with Clint Eastwood yelling at it.

The idea of letting anyone in is considered an open border policy by MAGA supporters.

Nitpicking, but, if you let everyone in, wouldn't that make for an open border?

Not sure what you mean by fair chance to win my vote...? She's a known commodity. A hard left Cali-Lib with very little moderation in her policy, obvious liar, with the personality of a cringey uncle. She's the mirror opposite doppelganger of everything I don't like about Trump.

I told you... until the 2 party hyperbolic insanity stops... neither major party national candidate for POTUS gets my vote.

And illegal boarder crossings can be be a misdemeanor or felony under federal law, depending on the circumstances... not that it matters... it has to stop... and their have to legal paths made available to stop the madness that has occurred over the last year... instead of the status quo that's being kept as a tool to separate and farm more votes... neither side wants to really fix it... never have... it's a great issue to pit us against one another.

Hard left was, is and always will be a horse schlitz term. Give an example.

 

[SystemShock]

you seem to forget that's the way the border used to be and it worked fine.

That was a long time ago. Like 1940's long time ago.

Those are right leaning swing voters. Basically Hailey voters. No surprise that they'll find their way to voting for Trump.

The young vote is another group I think Trump has no chance of winning, so if they have good voter turnout it will be good for us and bad for Trump.

Harris’ campaign has already gotten early support from young, hugely influential pop stars including Ariana Grande, who is one of the most followed people on the planet with 378 million Instagram followers; Demi Lovato, who has 155 million Instagram followers; Kesha and Charli XCX — who gave Harris more attention than any campaign could ever dream of with her now-infamous “Kamala IS brat” post, which was quickly embraced by the vice president’s team across their social media platforms.

Hear that? That’s the sound of Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan and Charli XCX powering Vice President Kamala Harris on TikTok.

This gets lost, but the GOP’s strategy of waiting till voters are 45 plus isn’t a winning strategy.

And they weren’t all against Harris. There were a couple who indicated interest and even approval. Of course the completely partisan SFL doesn’t include the entire segment so we can see it. And he is quoting partisan sources.

 

[SaintForLife]

Good montage of the media previously saying she was the border czar and now saying she wasn't.

Can't trust the media, bro. Corporate shills in the tank for the establishment elites.

 

[SaintForLife]

Her positions from when she ran for President don't sound center-left.

Interesting. That's similar to Axios just today claiming they incorrectly called Harris the border czar 3 years ago multiple times.

The media is on overdrive to boost Harris as much as possible.

OR, stick with me here, instead of a massive conspiracy they are correcting an error that got called out publicly. They went back, checked their sources and stories, and said - huh, the WH never called her that. We made a mistake.

But no, that makes sense, why believe that when you can believe it’s a giant conspiracy involving all these different media outlets?

Good lord, he does think the Silence of the Lambs is a documentary.
