I'm pleased to see the front page at DU featuring the name "Harris" nearly as frequently as TFG's name.

It's just a general impression, I didn't have time to do an actual count.

I'll be relieved when we get past all the soothsaying to the reality of a President-elect Harris, working on a smooth transition with the incomparable and remarkable Joe Biden.

1. I know I am imagining a beautiful transition period America deserves it after Trump fucked up the last one.

if Democrats want to keep the narrative heading to election day we had better keep the narrative going that ties TSF to Nazis, that ties TSF to being anti-military, that ties TSF to being unfit for office which former generals and others who were in his administration are claiming.

TSF is going to hold a rally in Madison Square Gardens that should be linked to what the Nazis did.

I wish that every thread on DU was about TSF's ties to Nazis, his ties to dictators, his hatred of the military.

This is the October surprise and we really don't need to bury it, shout it loud and far.

4. I understand your position entirely, although here we preach to the choir. I do think that has the finish line...

...approaches the message is being popularized outside of DU, which is surprising since the media has been Pro-Trump since 2015.

The situation at the Los Angeles Times delineates why that is true, our equivalent to the Russian Oligarchy, even as members of it all seem to fall out of a window in a skyscraper.

5. Cliches become cliches generally by being truisms. Duly noted. I'm just anxious for the terror to pass. n/t.

and Kamala Harris made it clear to me that she wants to push the Kelly/Nazi, Mattis/Fascist narrative.

The list is growing of former people who worked under TSF coming out revealing how unfit TSF is for office.

This is the October surprise, please do not bury it under the rug.

I do not care an iota about all of the other TSF stuff that he is doing, I agree with you on that.

Magats think the Kelly audio is important because they have launched a smear campaign against Kelly, Magats want to distract by talking about the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Putin puppet Leon Musk is trying to distract from the Kelly audio.

This is a BFD is we let it stay on the front page. I guarantee that Nicolle Wallace will keep pushing this.

...is an issue at all, but yes, it should remain at the forefront of news.

I'm simply anticipating a more glorious time, and despite confidence that we'll escape this, nervous as hell that somehow we won't.

I remember the shock of 2016, which left me sleepless for days, and was even worse, by 2020, than I imagined it then.

people post every little thing TSF does, every word he speaks, where he is going, what he is doing, I don't click on them.

This Kelly audio is different and it must be important because the right has launched a campaign to smear Kelly, launched a campaign to change the subject to Afghanistan. Putin puppet Leon Musk is flooding X with propaganda trying to change the narrative.

The more we hear about how evil TSF is the better.

10. Generals calling TSF a Nazi and a fascist is not promoting him.

Why have Magats launched a campaign to bury this narrative? Why are they smearing Kelly?

This is the October surprise and if I have to I will post 100 threads about it until the election.
