Yeah I’m really confused why she would be quiet this time around when she endorsed Biden in 2020

So she did. I didn’t realize that. I take it back.

Yeah...."young latinas" still has 100X more relevance as a porn search term than it does as a voting bloc.  Sorry, non-voting Texans just aren't becoming voting Texans.  It isn't happening.

I may need to research these “young latinas”  video documentaries you speak of

I know from local reporting that while the local GOP in Georgia is struggling with fundraising, much of it has been to diverted to efforts lead by Kemp and his folks.  Good news, they aren't Trumpers, bad news, they are by all accounts doing well in their efforts.  

Yeah that's in the story.

Biden is already buying up large amounts of ad time for the run-up to the election because he can afford it and it prevents Trump from grabbing that time (assuming he could pay for it).

Yep, Biden already has ads going up Sunday during the Grammy’s

I wondered whatever happened to that guy. 

He killed two men in Wisconsin, couldn’t get into the Marines, moved to Texas, couldn’t get into aggy.  Does social media photos showing him working so hard the creases on his pants have creases, and he leaves his fruit snack wrappers on the ground.

Some of y’all are setting yourselves up to be majorly disappointed by Taylor. She may end up saying something kinda vague and safe so that young progressive fans can make inferences about her, but I get very strong “Republicans buy concert tickets too” vibes from her.

Her fans are fucking vicious.  And numerous.

Not to pile on, but I think you may have missed this one from her Netflix documentary that she released [checks notes] 6 years ago.

No, she's probably not going to go tag along with ol' Joe on campaign stops, but she despises these fucks like most sane people and isn't afraid to stand behind what's important to her, money or personal safety be damned.

What she should do is promise to do a free concernt in every state that goes blue. 

TS should announce a free mini-concert on the mall for Bidens inauguration if he is re-elected.  That would be 100 million additional votes right there.

She definitely went hard in the paint right at Marsha Blackburn in 2018. Now Marsha is skairt and wants to answer no questions about TS. In fact here she is telling newsmax that it's sure great that Taylor is based in Nashville.

My husband is one of those that has high hopes that Texas will flip every election cycle. I feel bad being the negative nancy when I tell him it ain’t happening.

No way would the Dotard prefer France to South Florida. I would think the French are particularly offended by his embodiment of every negative stereotype of the “Ugly American.” I can’t imagine him being well received by anyone there.

Don’t assume anything. Our driver from de Gaulle to Paris during his first term gushed about Trump. France has its fair share of nationalist asshats like the rest of us.

Trump isn’t taking a cab. I know France has its share of radical right-wingers but I’m thinking about the type of people who might be in a position to wait on him and provide him services and who would be disgusted by his loud, obnoxious, conceited demeanor. I think his general poor taste and disdain for foreign culture would be particularly grating on the French. Especially when he orders a hamburger with ketchup for dinner.

You said, "I can’t imagine him being well received by anyone there." (emphasis added)  I gave you a data point that suggests otherwise.

We just shitcanned another driver this morning for attempting to join the border trucking convoy.  He, of course, screamed we were violating his 1st amendment rights.  His terminal manager had to remind him he was effectively operating a company leased tractor-trailer without permission and is lucky he wasn't being arrested for larceny.  Fucking amateur hour. 

 

Funny part though is we sent fuel cards to some Swift Transportation drivers who are joining the convoy just so we can get some photos and chuckles of that name at the convoy to piss off Maga dipshits.  This is so much fucking fun.

He was an East Coast driver and mostly non-union.  But he basically attempted to take one of our master-leased trucks, without a docketed shipment, to the border to join "The Cause."  MAGA dipshits will claim we're taking away his freedoms, but yeah...no.  You can't just take one of my trucks off the clock wherever you want with no cargo and no letter of transit.  That's not how real life works.  He is seriously fucking lucky we didn't have him thrown in jail or worse, have his coworkers beat the shit outta him in front of his kids like we used to in the old days in Chicago.

It’s a decent way to juice young turnout.  It jumped 11 points in 2020 and they’re hoping that magic can be recaptured.

Shit, I'm slammed today with school stuff 'n shit.  Can't make it down there today to the CONVOY!  But if any of y'all are on the path with a social media account, please get a pic of the Swift Transportation trucks (2 or 3) that we enabled to be down there.  It's only funny to a few of us, but it's really fucking funny.  Happy Groundhog Day, bitches!

Maybe. But there are thousands (maybe more) long-time Swift fans who are eligible to vote for the first time this year like my 18-year-old daughter. She can't wait to vote against that orange piece of shit.

 

Good. But I'm guessing she would be can't waiting to vote the orange piece of shit even if she wasn't a Swift fan.

Yeah dude, that's the joke.  I helped authorize the termination of a driver because he wanted to take a tractor-trailer, illegally, to the border.  and we, without any hint of irony, helped some Swift Transportation drivers get into the Convoy.  I mean, I'll about my higher power but it's fucking impossible we're not living in a computer simulation.  I literally had a guy believing me the other day when this convoy was announced that CF went bankrupt because it stood for 'Colored Foreigners'            You can tell these fucking people anything, it's not even fair.

just for some perspective, Blackburn won with 54.7% of the vote in 2018.  in the Tennessee governor's race in 2018, the Republican won with 59.5% of the vote.  the overall popular vote for all federal House races in Tennessee that year was 59.25% for the Rs. the overall popular vote for all state senate races in Tennessee that year was 63.2% for the Rs. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Tennessee_elections

clearly, Taylor's endorsement of Phil Bredesen - which came less than one month before the election - made a difference.  not enough to win, obviously.  as Js1 noted, JC himself couldn't win in Tennessee with his lib policies.  but she cut the gap.  if Taylor came out this summer for Biden, it would absolutely make a difference with young voters nationwide.

The only polling out there for 2024 so far is over 2 months old but it has Blackburn with a pretty commanding lead (53-36) over the Democrat running (Gloria Johnson.) Ugh.

And I'll quote Rick Wilson.

"It's cracking off a chunk of voters at a time. It's slow but it works."

I'm not expecting a sea change all at once. That would be great, but if you keep stacking little bits it starts to add up. Add young women to the voter registration rolls and keep them engaged and you might get some of those swingy districts. Might keep out some wild eyed bitch from the school board. That's what I'm thinking about. Replace the old women that reliably voted R with young, pissed off, and engaged young ones that vote D.
