There is a chunk of voters that are just now tuning in. Some are undecided about Trump or Harris. Some are stuck between Harris and not voting.
When all we talk about and post about on here, Instagram, and Facebook, is Trump, we are helping Trump by ignoring Harris.
These undecideds are open to her, but we have to be as obsessed about her winning as we are about him losing.
Youd think saving democracy and the threats against immigrants would be enough, but I guess not. So we have to get in their face with Harris, Harris, Harris.

(122,381 posts)it doesn't have the same audience as the other, more general social media sites. We're not going to convert anyone discussing stuff on DU, so bring the message to the other sites where a bigger, more diverse audience will see it. Here we can kvetch about TFG all we want.
But I see DU as a way to share sources, data, and messaging that is helpful for us to be better surrogates. I love venting and moaning as much as anyone, but right now for the next 50 days I feel like we need to trying harder to do something.

(952 posts)And mocking him will injure the narcissist more. Pointing and laughing at him may have him babbling in a psych ward. I can make fun of him and support our future madam president. But I want him so debilitated we never have to hear from him again.

(262 posts)This happened time and again. We thought the Access Hollywood tape would end him. We thought Russia would end him, impeachment for extorting Zelenskyy, January 6. Trying to chip away his support doesnt work.
GOTV is our best weapon. And the low frequency voters arent motivated by Trump is bad. They know this, but they are more likely to fall for the trap of both sides are bad. All of us on here know that theyre idiots for thinking that, but we arent going to make them smart over night. But what we can do is highlight the excitement. Get her message out there.
I have predicted every election since I was a kid. And its always about the energy. I think Kamala and her campaign are amazing. The only thing we have working against us is the media. Social media is the only place we can make a difference.

(952 posts)They are fierce. Democrats have found their spine and you can see it wearing on him. The republicans want him gone . I have faith in the new breed of democrats and Madam President will be the last straw. I enjoyed watching her eviscerate him and it left its mark .i will continue to enjoy his misery and hopefully our misery will end in November.
