@wdlindsy Voter suppression is the only way the cheaters might deny the Nation what it vitally needs to survive as a Democratic Republic.

@Huntn00 Yes, this has long been their go-to tactic as demographics resolutely reinforce their minority status.

"Perhaps the greatest measure of the effectiveness of Kamala Harris’s convention speech was the truly unhinged content bender it sent Trump spiraling into last night. …
At first, Trump was jocular. …
Soon, though, the wheels were coming off."

"After the speech, he dialed into Fox News for still more free-associative complaining, bowling right over Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum’s attempts to get in specific questions, seemingly pressing phone buttons with his face as he talked. They eventually had to cut him off mid-sentence to wrap up their show."

"Not to worry, though: When they pull the plug on you on Fox, there’s always Newsmax. So Trump picked up the phone again. 'I will tell you, I just watched it,' he told Greg Kelly and Mercedes Schlapp a few moments later."

“Our message is simple. We can fight about the rest of it later. We can fight about the size and the scope of government later. We can fight about libertarian issues or social issues later. We have freedom and democracy to preserve together, and there are certain principles that are bigger than party politics.”

"By the measure of what they were up against with a last-minute candidate change, [the DNC] was an extraordinary tableau, one without any real historical parallel. Nothing remotely like this has happened before in the modern TV-era of politics. Lyndon Johnson’s withdrawal in 1968 was months before the (cataclysmic) Democratic convention."

"Promising he would be 'fair but critical', the Republican duly unleashed a stream of inflammatory falsehoods across 59 posts, more than one per minute Harris spoke, repeatedly referring to his rival as 'Comrade Kamala Harris' and as a 'Marxist.'”

"At one point, while making the claim that Harris would dramatically increase taxes, Trump was so riled up that he pressed the buttons on his phone live on the air. He was probably still steamed after having done a live play-by-play of Harris’s speech on Truth Social. In the end, Fox News actually had to cut off his rambling phone call."

"For days, reporters have trotted out the notion that the most important thing Harris needed to accomplish tonight was introducing herself to American voters. That was underestimating her again, and overestimating their own competence."

"If voters don’t know the real Kamala Harris, it’s the fault of a lazy media that seized on gossip about staffing issues and campaign intrigue going back to her admittedly flawed 2020 presidential campaign.
But Harris has been hiding in plain sight, guys. You just didn’t see her."

"Democrats featured Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton—that’s all but two of the living Democratic presidential nominees going back to 1992.
The Republican convention featured no former presidential nominees."

"The state of the Republican party is so toxic that previous nominees—even previous presidents—have been unpersoned and read out of the movement.
That’s a portrait of two institutions: One institution in harmony with its legacy and continuing to evolve in such a way as to hold its coalition together. The other institution in a state of convulsion."

And suddenly all the media outlets are concerned about "policy." Which they didn't give a tinker's damn about when they were howling for Biden's scalp. Trump's policies are clear -- Project 2025, but they never seem to talk about that.
Harris's policies are also pretty clear, same as we have been seeing over the past 4 years. Maybe a tweak or two, maybe different names in the cabinet (whose names will barely be mentioned again after the Senate confirmations.)
Basically nothing has changed from a policy point of view from a year ago.

"Fascists appropriate national symbols & values. Kamala Harris & Tim Walz are taking them back. …
The vast majority of Americans are tired of the psyops, the propaganda, the hatred and the lies. I’m seeing people on the margins make a change, people who are tired of fascist performance art being all we talk about.
Make America Normal Again."
