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.

Weak deflection attempt. You forgot to mention the media parroting the Harris talking points. You are so clever.

Are you embarrassed that the media that you trust to tell you what to think about Ukraine is an arm of the Democrat party?

This is all Sinclair.

The mesage resonates because Trump is old, and weird.

Trump tries to pretend to be this billionaire conserative populist. The only thing he has in common with a normal guy is he cheats at golf, and eats way to much fast food.

Harris is the next Obama! I can feel the excitement generated by the media. Actually this doesn't seem to be satire.

So you aren't embarrassed I guess. How can you claim what the media tells you about Ukraine is accurate when you have the same media that covered for Bidens 's decline coordinating the Harris talking points?

But Sinclair!

No big deal. The media has yet to cover Trump’s rapid plunge into dementia. The media is corporate it is not liberal. One of the false prophets of Republican whackjobbery, Rush Limbaugh, said that the liberal media is a myth.

Laura Trump posted what I guess is like a campaign commercial, or maybe it's a wine and candle commercial. I don't know what it is.

It's WEIRD, she has her child crying loud in the background. So turn the sound on if you want the weird crying child effect:

It's a "we both saw the most recent polling" commercial.

" I took to drinking and baby took to crying" (normal response of a disappointed child).

The flailing around is wonderful to see. They are punching air, folks. I love it.

If anyone wants to find the latest on Trump’s accelerating fall into dementia you will be wasting time looking in the mainstream, corporate, conservative media.

Hey, wait a minute. You have been bleating all along that the media worships Harris but now you claim only Trump (well, it can’t be Trump himself because he has dementia) only has Harris news?

Bizarre, maybe the Trump’s get it, “my baby’s crying while I get drunk on Trump labeled wine and nauseous from a Trump scented candle that smells like a cesspool.

Almost 100% of the time hatred for others is born out of self-hatred that was also learned.

I knew of a Catholic priest who used to say, "the problems in the world today are not because people don't treat others as they want to be treated, the problems come from people only being able to love others as they love themselves." He personally taught Catholicism from the foundational message of, "Christ loves everyone which includes you, so love yourself so that you can love yourself and everyone else like Christ does."

I used to ask that others be granted as much grace as I’ve been given. That was too limiting and I had to cut out the “as I’ve been given”.

Brilliant JDV observation:
“it turns out Trump’s VP pick is a Machiavellian sycophant with less integrity than a Boeing 737”

Posted because the trend is … interesting, reassuring, etc, I also agree that if Harris carries MI and WI, I don’t see her losing PA.

Oh you hadn't heard. Google is manipulating the search results to help Harris. I checked. It's still doing it.

“He thinks something other than votes will put him back in the White House”

Trump has a ******* big mouth, he’s telling us what he thinks will happen, while thinking he is so clever. Nothing can be more alarming coming from the mouth of a candidate for President of the United States. It’s a sinister message indicating his perception of a plan that will install him as POTUS not based on votes. At this point, I can only hope he’s a nut cake and there is no viable plan. And if there is, they can go to jail.

If there are "Trump loyal" officials that refuse to certify election results to stop a full state from certifying, then they need to be prosecuted. If any can be linked to Trump, then he needs to be prosecuted as well. There needs to be attention to this possibility right now with a plan in place to force valid vote certifications. This is disgusting, anti-American behavior, if true.

........One of the dangers of following politics too closely is that you assume too much knowledge, and interest, among regular voters. You overinterpret every event—this speech will definitely move the race!—and you assume that niche opinions are widely held. You end up talking with your peers rather than the public. You become, to use the word of the moment, weird.

None of this, however, has gotten through to the extremely online conservatives who are upset with the sudden popularity of that word among Vice President Kamala Harris and an army of campaign surrogates.

In the space of a few days, some of my favorite bully-boy right-wing influencers have gone from Cry harder, libs to This negative tone is unbecoming.

Guys, you care about politics. This makes you weird. The people attacking you, who also care about politics? They are weird too. If we are holding a contest about who is most normal, and that contest is playing out in television studios, YouTube clips, and posts on X, both sides have already lost.

Also, when trying to rebut the charge that you and your allies are weird, you should not—as the right-wing influencer Dave Rubin recently did—circulate a supercut of people calling you weird and claim that the allegation is being spread by “NPCs.” If you know what NPCs are, you are very weird. (The phrase means non-playable characters, named after the digital extras who mill around in the background of video games, and it is the online right’s new version of sheeple. If you needed that explanation, congratulations on being normal.)

What Rubin identified in his clip was not a phalanx of mindless drones parroting their orders from the great cat-lady hive mind but something we call an “attack line,” a completely mundane and totally expected part of election campaigns. Only someone who just fell out of a coconut tree would be surprised to hear a chorus of voices all saying the same thing about a political opponent. Remember the concerns over Hillary Clinton’s emails? They were quite popular at one time.

Political slogans have to be repeated over and over to be effective. Here in Britain in the 2010s, a running joke among political reporters was that London Mayor Sadiq Khan had a tic disorder forcing him to mention that his father had been a bus driver. One day, Khan chastened the assembled press pack by pointing out that if they were bored by the line, that meant undecided voters had probably heard it at least once.

The new British prime minister, Keir Starmer, had a similar addiction to mentioning that his father was a “toolmaker.” Political messages are designed to reach voters like my hairdresser, who tune in briefly between hobbies and friendships and fulfilling personal lives. If a particular political argument feels repetitive, take it as a sign from the universe that you are watching too much cable news.

The rollout of the weird wars shows how transformative the switch from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris has been. After months of low-grade misery, the Democrats seem much more energized overall—not only because Harris is campaigning more aggressively than Biden could but because half a dozen of the party’s best communicators are auditioning for the VP spot by road-testing attack lines at rallies and on television.

The weird attacks on Trump seem to have originated with one of those potential running mates, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who recently embarked on a tour of the television studios to expand on the criticism. “Listen to the guy,” Walz told Jake Tapper on CNN. “He’s talking about Hannibal Lecter and shocking sharks.”

Walz added that the Democrats’ previous attack line on Trump—that he was an existential threat to democracy—credited the former president with too much power, puffing him up instead of knocking him down. Walz might have added that it has been a bust. Trump is currently ahead in most polls.

Forget fear, then, and try mockery. “You know there’s something wrong with people when they talk about freedom: freedom to be in your bedroom, freedom to be in your exam room, freedom to tell your kids what they can read,” Walz told MSNBC. “That stuff is weird.” His basic message has since been echoed by a pro-Harris super PAC and by the official Harris campaign.

Walz’s schtick also builds on Harris’s attempt to reclaim the word freedom from the right: She launched her campaign with an ad soundtracked by Beyoncé’s “Freedom,” framing abortion rights as “the freedom to make decisions about your own body.”...............
