we must keep it. I don't give a shit what James Carville says, he's wrong. Democrats want enthusiasm, not caution.

Could the campaign specify “abortion rights” or something like that?

I would think you would have to be hiding under a rock to have not heard of Roe. But then people voted for Trump so who knows

And most of our fourth estate does not believe it is their job to inform people while the Ancient Rupert empire misinforms people as much as is humanely possible.

A lot of messages about Trump and Vance being weird, strange, bizarre.

I've heard others use these descriptions over the last few months and it has now been embraced by the campaign

“…and generally sounded like someone you wouldn't want to sit near at a restaurant..”

That is so true. People like Trump contribute to my overwhelming fear of flying. I am always afraid I would get stuck sitting next to a person like him. 🙁

I love the line about the restaurant. It's so true.

The thought of having to listen to Trump for four more years is retch-worthy.

A lot of people (like me) get most of their news from first-person accounts on social media before MSM covers it, & even if MSM never covers it.

I watch less than an hour of MSM news a week. I get my info almost exclusively online and social media. I’m not alone in that.

I don't doubt you, I'd just love to have a source.

That number agrees roughly with my personal experience. The company I own does residential remodeling & home repair so I spend a lot of time working in my customers' homes. I live in a red area. Out of hundreds of homes I've worked in over several years there have been only been four customers that I've seen watching cable news. Of course that was during the workday when I was there, others may watch in the evening when I'm not there.

The thing that’s so great about social media is that we see what others are saying and we spread it instantaneously. Some things stick/ some things don’t. Tim Walz’s “they are weird” is sticking.

I would absolutely believe that he is trying very hard to lose this election. Of course, no, that's who he is--but if he had shown sanity up to this point, I would wonder. Could anyone do anything MORE effective to turn off voters? (Wouldn't surprise me if a few cult members were looking at Kamala and going hmmm... Only the borderline normal ones, all two of them.)
