[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.

Fires set in drop boxes destroy hundreds of ballots in Washington and damage 3 in Oregon

Incendiary devices have been set off at two ballot drop boxes — one in Portland, Oregon, and another in nearby Vancouver, Washington — in what one official called a “direct attack on democracy."

If Harris wins the election, I hope her first order of business is to FIRE this nation's Top Cop!!!! Garland has been asleep on the job from DAY ONE! I gave him the benefit of the doubt early on because I knew that his main concern was to restore DoJ's credibility, but he has completely neutered the DoJ by his inaction.

They are about to fight on CNN. This dude with the 1776 Project PAC is about to get forked up.

Is this it?

We've reached this point in our society.....this. And someone pointing out an on the field "end racism" as a leftist symbolism.

Sigh

This guy knocked on 2000 doors in one county in NC, what he describes as the “swingiest” county. He kept detailed notes. There’s a whole thread so I am just posting a few individual tweets. But one thing he does nail exactly - the majority of women feel a visceral disdain of and repulsion to Trump. It transcends policy and politics.

I think it's their survival instinct kicking in, their "spidey-senses." I really do.

 

[LA - L.A.]

With that said, no one thinks of 1932 Hitler when the comparison is made.

What's true of you is not true of everyone else. Several people responding to your complaints about comparing Hitler to Trump proves what you just said is not true.

Dozens of articles comparing 1932 Hitler to 2020 Trump proves what you said is not true.

A large group of American Jewish women comparing Hitler in his early days to Trump now, proves what you said is not true. They also prove that what you said about Jewish people being put off by the comparison of Trump to Hitler is not true for all Jewish people either.

The association is made to the 1945 Hitler that exterminated millions of people.

No it's not. People all across society have specifically compared the rhetoric of early Hitler to Trump's rhetoric now. You are the one fixated only on comparing Hitler at his end to Trump now. You're just objectively and verifiably wrong on this.

 

[LA - L.A.]

I think this is also a part of the reason why Harris is campaigning in "red" states the Democratic candidate usually doesn't. Harris has been giving a lot of money to Democratic candidates running for the House. She's helped a few of them outspend Republicans in districts usually won by Republicans who outspend the Democrats.

If the Republicans don't gain seats in the House, I don't think Johnson will be able to sabotage the certification process. They definitely won't if they lose any seats.

 

[LA - L.A.]

A comfortable majority of American voters are not as irrational, gullible, and/or dumb as too many people think they are.

 

[LA - L.A.]

This is why Trump's numbers with minorities just blows my mind. They are openly, in plain view, showing their bigotry.

But as someone else pointed out, news coverage of these speakers (at his MSG rally) could be a plan by the Trump campaign. No way Trump and his staff didn't know those guys would say inflammatory things. It's part of a plan. Has to be.

Trump and his campaign don't even know how to play checkers, let alone 4D chess. They've created a ravenous racist fed beast, they have no choice but to keep feeding it for him to get the admiration Trump desperately craves. The talk from Trump and Republicans about this being a master move of distraction by Trump is just delusional denial of the fact if Trump wasn't going to lose, he is after that rally.

 

[LA - L.A.]

FWIW, numerous inside sources in the Trump campaign are extremely confident he is going to win.

Trump 2024 also feels like Romney 2012.

There was another poll that came out today that has Harris up +4 for the GE vote. I don't know how the Trump campaign thinks they have it in the bag.

Equal parts hubris, appeasement and delusion.

What I like is that Abbey Phillips removed the guy from the show even though he "apologized." She stood up to him and issued consequences on national TV. In the clip above, the anchor, and I love everything I've seen from that guy, calls out the viewers comment for what it was, a lame attempt to defend racist people they like or racist things they like topped off with the closing line of, "that's not very Colorado."

News outlets are starting to push back and they're not doing it too late. Trump will lose early voting ballots, he needs to have a big win in election day ballots. Seeing this push back of "enough is enough" from news outlets will be fresh on a lot of voters minds on election day.

Is this it?

And to claim you misheard "Palestinian" as "Hamas" might be the most disingenuous claim ever. What a disgusting Peice of work.

Energy is just gone

This is a response I found below that which is above.

This is the dangerous delusion that MAGA influencers are feeding to the mob.

Also just saw this perfect illustration of how recent all the progress against racism is:

According to Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, the comments made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during the former president’s rally at Madison Square Garden are not reflective of how Trump himself feels. It’s a tricky defense of Hinchcliffe’s various disparagements, given that the campaign is clearly responsible for who and what appeared on the stage Sunday night. But it’s particularly tricky given how Hinchcliffe’s “jokes” reflect obvious currents in Trump’s own rhetoric.

The targets of Hinchcliffe’s commentary included Black Americans (who “carve watermelons” for Halloween), Jewish people (who have “a hard time throwing that paper”), Hispanics (who Hinchcliffe disparaged in particularly crass terms) and Taylor Swift (by saying that her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, “might be the next O.J. Simpson”).

And then there was the riff that drew the most attention: “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now,” Hinchcliffe said. “Yeah. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

In part because the comment came at the outset of the lengthy rally, much of the rest of the coverage was anchored to this particular disparagement. Prominent Puerto Rican voices offered public support of Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy in the hours after Hinchcliffe’s comment, including the musician Bad Bunny.

The Trump campaign and its allies attempted to shrug the whole thing off, suggesting that it was an effort to focus on one ancillary negative point instead of the broader message of the rally. This sort of hostility, though, was the broader message of the rally. Other speakers, including Trump, offered myriad disparagements of outsiders who were presented as threatening the country. Hinchcliffe just went slightly further than the campaign would want, lumping native-born — and therefore voting — Americans in the mix.

Census Bureau data from 2022 indicate that there are about 2 million U.S. residents who were born in Puerto Rico but no longer live there. Many live in New York and Florida, but there are large populations of Puerto Rico natives in other states as well. There are more than a quarter of a million Puerto Ricans living in the seven states generally viewed as those on which the 2024 presidential election will hinge. In four of those states — Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — the number of residents born in Puerto Rico is larger than the vote margin between Joe Biden and Trump in the 2020 election.

There are more Puerto Ricans in Florida than the 2020 margin in that state, too, despite how handily Trump won. That doesn’t mean he’ll lose Florida in 2024, of course; there’s no reason to think that all of those voters cast ballots for Trump in 2020 or didn’t vote at all, a requirement for assuming that Harris would suddenly gain the equivalent of the entire population. It is, instead, just a reminder of how narrow the margins in recent elections have been — and the dangers of aggravating a big chunk of voters a week before voting ends.............

Trump’s hostility to Puerto Rico reemerges at the worst possible time​

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

what is crazy to me is that if Trump had his way, he would let Isreal wipe Palenstine off the face of the earth to the point it would be removed from history.
protesting the current admin for not helping enough to the point you would rather an admin that would make sure your existence is eliminated just makes no sense to me.
