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.

"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."

Fuck you. I was hoping for Dark Kamala!
You simultaneously made my day and ruined it. What a roller coaster of emotions. thank you
That's going throw Donald into an incandescent rage. Incredible.
How much money is he going to throw at hiring actors to pad out his rally and retention numbers when it won't make any difference in anyone's voting decision in the end?
Alternatively, how many votes is he going to inadvertently throw away after stiffing actors hired to pad out his rally and retention numbers, when statistically some of them will already be supporters, possibly even planning on going to the rally for free but getting excited about the idea to get paid to do what they were going to do anyways but might see him differently after he fucks them directly?

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 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?
No, it was joyful
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.
