Trump voters will turn up and vote. Harris voters, even if the polls will (probably) show an even more favorable margin by then, need to go out and vote!
I’m hoping Taylor Swift speaks up to mobilize the younger segment to vote. This is half in jest, but it would be consequential.
Two dangers I see for the Dems:
That’s because like it or not, that level of ignorance/idiocy is representative of a worryingly large proportion of the population.
Didn’t help Phil Bredesen in 2018…
Or the East’s “The True Story of Ah Q” by Lu Xun.
This is clearly Trump doing his Jake LaMotta , Miami Beach stand-up routine , something he’ll probably be doing for real down at Mar-A-Lago post-election , if he’s not in jail that is. Still it’s not really that clever of the Harris campaign to try to pass it of as serious.
Musk upping the anti to become more disliked than Trump the Ogre
That man’s sense of humour is completely broken.
How do I unsee that?
The theories of big agenda nefarious plans for why he bought twitter increasingly seem less likely than he’s a sad sad man desperate for adulation and for people to think he’s cool and now has company’s entire product roadmap devoted to features that can be used for Elon fluffing
For all the long eassays written about the failures of the press to properly deal with trump the politician, nothing has ever been as insightful and useful for understanding the problem as this single sentence
Why do they [the press] take things Trump doesn’t say and turn them into things he might have said if he weren’t such a blistering dumbass?
Thoughts on this? An authentic take reflecting how immune the RW is to information that exists outside of their truth free spaces? Or an embarrassingly brazen lie told in a desperate attempt to wish something into existence?

It’s hugh hewitt, so bad faith hackery is never a bad guess
Being honest, I think this is exactly what Space X and Tesla are as well
The media: Trump addressed the economy in his speech today, but voters are left without a contrast as Harris will not take questions from the press.
What Trump said on his address about the economy
I actually watched some of that speech last night and it was almost painful to watch. He just cannot stay on message , even though it’s apparent that he’s being beseeched to do so by his campaign , and that they are probably foretelling doom and disaster if he doesn’t. But to no avail , he’s so obviously shaken by the ‘unjustness’ of having the rug pulled out from under him as he was seemingly on a glide path to victory , that his only reflex is to lash out , no matter what further damage he does himself. And it’s only going to get worse.
The spiraling is now tangible
This guy is just as much of a loose canon as Trump and will encourage all of the worst Trump instincts the campaign has tried so hard to hide from the voting public up until now.
Part of me would love to see Biden over the next couple of months play up on his ‘memory loss’ and rip into Trump like this.
Which part of you wouldn’t like to see that!
