What she really needs to do is start pushing some of the truths of P2025 and how they'll impact people who may lean right. Specifically hit labor groups and how it would ban Unions.

And it should also hit how much the orange turd hates the military with a big push about the Arlington fiasco, his VA cuts and what he's said specifically. Push that hard.

Yeah, I'm a little worried that everyone seems to have forgotten about P2025 already. And especially worrying that I've seen no mention of reinstating Chevron. Of all things this miserable SCOTUS did, that is easily the most damaging.

It's really nice to see a Democratic campaign actually play to win.

Holy shit, right? I genuinely have not been this optimistic about a presidential election since 2008. Don’t get me wrong - shit could still go sideways. But Harris at this point is absolutely SLAYING, and is mostly saying the right things on the right topics, and furthermore is CLEARLY on top of her game, and fully understands the stakes.

i really really hope that the kamala campaign is the start of a new left, much like the trump campaign was the beginning of a new right. If we continue moving this way, i forsee good things in our future.

this makes sense to me, the way the debate went, im starting to think she prepared a handful of different routes, and just felt out the waters on this one, i really really hope trump does another debate, because if we see kamala go even more aggressively on the next debate, i'm gonna be so fucking happy.

"The Harris campaign released a new schedule that shows she will be appearing in the same city at the same time as every scheduled Trump rally. The campaign has employed official 'crowd counters,' who will be monitoring both the attendance and crowd retention for every rally. The Harris Campaign will then post live updates on crowd size and early exits on its new account on Truth Social."

It really is wild to think about it. Kamala has only been the candidate for a bit under two months at this point. And so much of that was spent politely waiting for the DNC and housekeeping like picking a VP.

This wasn’t the aggressive campaigning?

[–] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago

No, it was joyful
