Top 2 issues are economy and immigration. 

God dammit people.

Economy is the best on earth and continuing to get better and immigration was purposely scuttled by trump.  This isn't hard.

Yep. Lay out how the economy has improved since 2020 while acknowledging we still have a ways to go but we can get there by ______. On immigration, lay out exactly what the border bill would've done and then constantly show Trump happily talking about killing the bill.

Also we don't really have that big of a migrant issue at the moment. It's kind of like this boogie man that doesn't have any data supporting it. 

The main gripe is the burden they place on the social welfare system without paying in, but I'm not sure the data is there to really support that theory from what I've looked at. 

The economy is a strange thing globally right now, everyone printed a different amount of money during COVID so the supply chains have normalized and the new reality of less complete reliance on China exclusively for manufacturing is working it's self through the system adjusting prices and the new taxes etc. The next phase is figuring out what to jubilee globally and how you reconcile the different central bank strategies to provide liquidity during the global pandemic crisis. 

That's not to say growth numbers aren't good right now in the US, it's just to say it's hard to really understand what that means in terms of real growth vs the natural rate vs a spread of liquidity or currency exchange.

Some of you are in the wrong lane when it comes to the Obama stuff and why he didn’t endorse early. Just tell you’re friends “that’s not true” and keep it moving.

Yeah I feel the Obama stuff is an angry Biden person who feels Obama didn't help Joe enough. Obama has shown he's trying to be like W and stay above the fray. It's a tad gutless but it does keep with ex-president tradition.

I used to dig deep into polling data about what Republican voters cared about and it was terrifying six years ago.  These people have such a warped perception of reality it’s no wonder we get someone like Trump. Another problem I have with polling data is the questions they don’t ask.  Like how best to address our actual real problems that go ignored or completely ignoring corruption as an issue entirely.

I hear from someone in a position to know that Manchin is extremely unhappy with Kamala’s swift consolidation of delegates and ascent to the nomination. He genuinely believes she can’t win, doesn’t like her politics, and we can speculate that he actually thought he had a chance to win the nomination or at least play kingmaker. 
 

There’s also a rumor circulating that Obama is furious about Kamala locking it up so quickly because he wanted Kelly. 
 

TLDR: DEMS IN DISARRAY 

Munchkin don't mean shit.  No one outside his jackoff state gives a fuck about him and most of them don't either.

The economy has improved. The stock market is up. Oil production is way up. Crime is down. Oh and immigrants are less likely to commit crimes, so shove the whole "immigrant crime wave" up your ignorant asses.

It's inflation. It's a side effect of rapid growth. Interest rates going up (which is necessary to deal with it) makes things worse for your pocketbook.

Democrats need to do a much better job telling people that Trump killed the border bill. Kamala needs to really lean into this and push hard.

Just now, Bozo_Casanova said:

That’s reasonable, but I am actually quite hopeful and compare this to 2016.

in 2016 a large number of Hillary voters (including me) were very unhappy with their option, and Democrats in general weren’t very enthusiastic about Her campaign. Republicans, by contrast were 100% enthusiastic about beating her and a plurality of Trump voters were positively giddy about their choice.

2024 feels the opposite way. A large number of Kamala voters are giddy about it, and Democrats in general are very enthusiastic and hopeful about beating Trump, while Republicans in general seem unhappy, grim, and directionless while also appearing to take victory for granted.

Kamala helps to solve the "double haters" issue - especially when it's two old white guys who struggle to complete a sentence.

True but you also need to keep yourself better than them. People need to see there's an alternative that aren't a bunch of unhappy shitbags pining for a time where black people, women, and other minorities were 2nd class citizens.

I hope they are capable of such clear and concise messaging. It is really very simple. Trump wants to paint a chaotic picture when, in reality, it’s pretty damn good right now.

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I feel like the biggest problem had been enthusiasm. With that taken care of, I feel like this should be an easy win. Yes Trump has a large and loud base, but it wasn’t enough in 2020 and he’s has done nothing to grow it since then. In fact it seems like he has probably only turned people off since then. Yes the maga dipshits are louder than ever but they alone can’t win this for Trump. With the enthusiasm issue solved it feels like this should go the Dems way in November. 

Elon buying Twitter was an enormous blow that can’t really be measured.  I think this gets overlooked in the discussion.  Another cryptofashy dipshit getting that weapon was one of the worst things to happen over the last four years.

NBC: Obama on the verge of endorsing Harris; plans in the work to appear together on the campaign trail 

So, why "on the verge"?  Why wait?  Is this just timing staged to add another jolt of excitement?

I believe the correct term is "edging."  Makes the money shot better.

Or so I've been told by the experts in the pornosphere.  I mean, so a friend of mine has been told.

Yes, the same reason it wasn't day one for Pelosi, Schumer, and Jeffries.

 

The slow burn for maximum attention.

The DNC 100% needs to have as many plants on social media and such as possible selling that message.  The ultimate measure of support for Trump is NOT voting; voting is for deep state libtards.  Register your patriotic protest by refusing to play the communist libtards' "voting" game!

New motto: when they do low we call them weird nerds and knock them down and hit them with their own hands while shouting “why are you hitting yourself,” until their toadies slink away, lest the same happen to them.

FUCK.

YES.

You can't convince these fucking psychos and weirdos that they're wrong....but you CAN shame and embarrass them enough that they stay home.  We don't need a few million Trump supporters to change their votes to Harris.  We just need them to stay home.

Gotta have the hits spread throughout. I hope Taylor Swift gets involved in a few weeks when her tour wraps for a break. Perfect timing for her to throw her gasoline around. We need an all hands on deck approach. Stifle these fucks with powerful people they can’t even dream of.

Her first order of business is to define herself.  Starting out with negative ads is not a good idea - she needs to quickly start making sure voters know who she is and what she stands for first.  

GDP 2Q - 2.8% - above expectations, consumer spending above expectations, jobless claims down (again) - more economic good news for Harris (and Joe)

Emerson / Memerson (with corresponding Senate race)

Arizona Trump +5 (Gallego +4)
Georgia Trump +2
Michigan Trump +1 (Slotkin +5)
Pennsylvania Trump +2 (Casey +4)
Wisconsin Tie (Baldwin +6) 

Harris improved on Joe's numbers by +3 on average against their last polls.  And Trump is still stuck in the 46-48 range.  

It would be interesting to look at what some of these specific polls said in the previous election at this time. What did AZ have trump up then?

I overheard magatards at the bar saying this exact thing.

I hope they pull some stupid shit. The capitol will be a fucking fortress.

Yes Elon is the worst. But he’s only creating a right wing echo chamber. I’m not sure how much that is moving the needle with independents.

Also, in that Fox interview just posted you can see the only card he has to play is “they are destroying our country”, which is of course literal bullshit. His campaign is nothing but hate, division, lies, and chaos. That plays well with maga but I think other voters are so tired of that nonsense and ready to move on from him. I hope.

Side-note, they way the fellatio him with “Mr. President” is fucking disgusting.

She should promise free concerts to the three cities that register the most new voters. 

She definitely needs to do something along these lines. We are similar in age, and this is simply the most important election of our lives. And now we have an exciting candidate to rally behind. I haven’t felt this optimistic in a while.
