[Harris+Walz] The 2024 DNC: TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!
I thought Chicanos specifically identified with their Native American background. They reject Latino and Hispanic labels because both terms are European based. iIRC, most Caribbean-Latino groups don’t have much native heritage because disease wiped out those populations.

You can tell he is really digging into the policies that matter to most Americans.

It seems like Ivanka is sitting this one out. Hope Hicks testified against Trump. Does Trump have anyone he trusts? Anyone who doesn't have a penis, regardless of size? Neither Ivanka or Hope had any qualifications to be advising the President of the United States, but they were both saner than Trump.

I think they hired Swam as a political analyst. Explains a lot.

I'm 52. I got a yard sign. I thought he was a great speaker. I don't remember this rate of donations, registrations, volunteer sign-ups, etc.. I don't recall the crowds as being as animated. Granted, I was raising a kid and not following politics daily, so maybe that's the difference.

I know people keep comparing the current environment to Obama 2008. Did Obama really have this much energy behind him? No knock on Barack; I know this is all part Kamala and part the terror of a second Trump presidency. But, I don't recall this level of excitement. Ever.

It's not in the public domain. I think Celine needs to be dead for like 50 years before the copyright expires. (She only looks like she's been dead for a while.) But, to your point, assuming the rally wasn't charging fees, I don't think there is much an artist can do about controlling where it gets played.

And, that is at least the second time they hit a Mexican restaurant in Arizona, taking pictures with the Latino staff. It's a great way to reframe the discussion on immigrants. It also doesn't hurt in Nevada and the importance on the hospitality sector.

Will Politico publish them? I assume Hillary's [the DNC's] went to Wikileaks because most news agencies wouldn't publish them, unless someone else does.

They have an interest in having a good relationship with the next President. Right now, that is increasingly looking like Harris.

MAGA dies when enough Republicans decide it's dead. At some point, non-MAGA Republicans need to take over the party, despite losing MAGAts. If they lose badly enough, then the damage from keeping MAGA will prove to be more than the damage from rejecting MAGA. That is my hope, one that seemed impossible a month ago.

Ok. So probably had the ritzy fundraiser scheduled first. Flight gets delay, you're way late to the fundraiser, you have a choice, and you chose a handful of rich people over an arena of commoners.

Are they suggesting he diverted to Billings for a quick, high priced fundraiser, leaving 1000s of his poor supporters waiting for him for hours at a stadium? That is just so on-brand. I almost have to respect it. His fans deserve to be treated that way. ...Big Sky seems pretty far away from Billings, so not sure if that work.

Yeah, but Trump is fucking Batman to these people. He is wealthy enough to live in a big mansion in the scary city, fighting crimes and immigrants to protect the few remaining good people of Gotham. He conquered the city. They think it makes him tough.

Shit, somebody forgot the drum roll. It wouldn't have been really funny with a drumroll. That way people would have noticed it was a joke.

They are saying “cities are scary.” It’s a core, central tenet of the cult. Minneapolis is scary.

I wouldn’t say it’s sad, but I agree that most of them were already going to vote Biden. I’m just happy that Bibi was stumping for Trump. That should reduce any downside for Harris telling Bibi to fuck himself.
