2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Oh PLEASE try to label a ball-busting prosecutor and former DA as "soft on crime." That will work out soooo well.

About as well as trying to attack her on the border when your candidate killed the border bill to address the problem.

There will be things to attack her on but those two won't be very effective IMHO.

You really think Trump can admit he made a mistake?

He replaced his cabinet member more often than I change socks.  He won’t admit a mistake, he’ll just do it and talk about what a loser Vance is.

The really fun thing will be seeing JD Vance take his daily Golden Showers from Trump in an effort to remain his running mate. Every day might as well be an interview, which should lead to even more shocking JD moments/revelations.

“Although in fairness, those are just the ones that made it to trial. You are also accused of having committed 50 other, separate felonies. Not including the whole sexual assault thing.”

He probably shouldn’t debate her. It’s tough to “win” a debate against him, because he doesn’t play by any rules. But he probably wouldn’t come off looking great next to her.

This is Buttigieg's communication superpower. We don't need him to be VP, but he needs to be a BIG part of this campaign.  https://the.ink/p/free-pete-buttigieg-bridges-communication

 

Why is it so hard for Democrats to explain things in a certain language? I'm not asking you to put down anybody else, but can you talk a little bit about your philosophy of communication? You do seem to come at it just differently from lots of people in your world. You come from a different background in multiple ways than maybe lots of your colleagues. Again, not putting anybody else down, but what is your philosophy of communication when it comes to reaching other people, tapping into other people's moral frames, being able to be kind of hearable to people while also insisting on your truths? Tell me a little bit about your philosophy of communication. 

I was raised with more progressive values in a very conservative place. I was very different from a lot of the people around me. And I think when you're around when you stick out, when you're different, there's different ways you can approach that. One is to just conform. I couldn't do that. I couldn't just conform to values or styles that weren't me. Another is to kind of do the opposite, to just kind of rage against all the things that you don't align with.

But another is to figure out how you can engage people. Often, I think about, honestly, sometimes I even think about this with media folks on the right that I might be in an appearance with, like a somewhat hostile interviewer. And I just think about the guy at the end of the bar in South Bend, Indiana who I don't just know but like, who also has political views that I find horrifying. How would I talk to him? How did I talk to him? I mean, this is not a hypothetical. And it's different if you imagine liking and caring for the people you're talking to. It doesn't mean you're always going to get through to them, but it begins to give you the terms to meet people where they are without pretending to be like them more than you are. 

And it turns out people also respect that. We all know from a mile away when someone is insincerely trying to clothe themselves in our values or our style in order to appeal to us, right? And young people in particular have a nose for that, but we all do. Sometimes you get more respect from somebody who you still haven't won over in terms of convincing them that they were wrong and you're right, but maybe moved them an inch because they saw why you believe what you believe. And if you just explain what you believe in terms that make sense to you and could make sense to them, they can see it. They can feel it. I think there's something really powerful in that.

It was already ugly. You new here or something? We're all but counting down republicans openly calling Harris racial slurs, and the (R) speaker has had to ask his caucus to tone it down already.

When these guys reveal their racism on Fox, Newsmax, right wing radio, etc. they aren't immediately called on it. The think this is all fine.

i guarantee that interviewer didn't follow up with "Wait, you are saying most migrants are garbage, Senator?!"

First off, Lakshya is a dude.  He does data and modeling for Split Ticket.  And his argument was that she could see a sustained 4 point lead post-convention, which, considering she's down ~1-2 points at present, would be a skyrocket in this day and age.

Also makes it harder for Republican oppo guys to do their jobs. Flood the zone with potential candidates and republicans won't be able to fully vet all of them and won't be able to attack as effectively.

Then again, these are the same people that thought Biden was an imbecile while also being at the top of an international crime family.

the whole thing has been perfectly timed. Took out all the headwinds from the GOP convention.

Plus, having this month long build-up to the Den Convention is perfect.

I was watching Morning Joe this morning and one of the reporters was interviewing a group of Trump supporters about Kamala. It was the same stuff about how ignorant she is and yada, yada. But the conspiracy theories started to come out about how possibly she knew all about Biden's health and that possibly this was all calculated about when she would come in. It's going to get real ugly, real ugly.  Meanwhile Fat Poopy Pants is out there playing golf.

And hey....hispanics who right now support team Trump....think that over really, really, REALLY fucking hard. Because that's what think of you, too.  They would happily dispatch all of our brown asses -- citizens, schmitizens -- right this second if they were in power.  THEY HATE YOU.  THEY THINK YOUR MERE PRESENCE HERE "POISONS THE BLOOD OF OUR COUNTRY."  THEY DO NOT THINK YOU ARE "REAL AMERICANS."  Just...fucking....STOP with your support of these assholes.  The hate you, they will fuck you over, and dance for joy as they do it.

The response on "crime" and "the border" is such a fucking lay-up.

"I will be and am dedicated to fighting crime.  Today, our most important job to fight crime is to keep a multiple-indicted convicted felon out of the White House.  Fighting Crime starts with fighting back against convicted criminal Donald Trump."

"We must have a secure border, and I am dedicated to getting us there.  The #1 thing we can do on that front is to get Donald Trump out of the way -- Donald Trump BRAGGED about killing the most comprehensive, bipartisan border reform bill we've seen in decades.  If you want to secure the border, the most important thing you can do is vote for a president who actually wants to help fix it, instead of a criminal who wants to break it even more so he can campaign about it."

Done.

Fuck yes, there's so much to hit him with.  Hit him hard, directly, right in the fucking mouth, and be done with it.  Don't ramble, don't linger.  "I don't take lectures on reducing crime from a convicted felon."  "I don't think the American people are interested in having their border overseen by a man who brags about stopping any effort to make it better."  "I'm about solving our problems, together, to help all of us. You're about making them worse, to help you and only you."

My wife is a proud member of a rather large online group called "Ministers who say 'fuck.'"  The only people turned off by that are pearl-clutchers who are never voting Dem anyway.

Fuck 'em.  Let's fucking roll.
