Attaboy Posted July 25 Posted July 25 I want her to go balls to the wall with this campaign. I saw her drop an f-bomb in an interview the other day; more of THAT energy. People are sick of political correctness ย Bold times call for bold measures 2

We need to win and then we can push them after, plus it's not like he'd have any real power as VP. Just need a good face. If Harris wins, her vp will be the next face of the party. Shapiro becoming vp today means he will be the nominee in 2032 and possibly beyond. If you don't like his policies now, they are not going to improve over timeย 1 1

Part of me thinks most of the "black people" they're polling aren't black. ย โข City: Harris 59-35% โข Suburb: Harris 51-46% ย This is a good sign. City and suburbs are who we need.

Blade Posted July 25 Posted July 25 2 minutes ago, Yog said: Umm should we worry about this?ย ย ย I don't have exact numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if those are similar to 2020 numbers That's why the second voting starts (I believe NC starts mail ballots in 40ish days) they need to remind young people to vote early.

Her campaign is pandering to young people with TikTok memes, sure. But pandering is cheap and doesn't reflect policy changes, which there likely won't be. Kamala will represent a continuation of Biden's presidency in the same way that Hillary and Biden would have been/were continuations of Obama's. Shapiro, if chosen, will likely be an escalation and I could personally see him being worse on Israel/Palestine than Trump and Biden combined. 1 1 1

Sannie Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Young people should get out to vote, but there's a reason politicians don't try to appeal to them as much: they just don't vote. They rather sit online and complain than stand in line to vote. This election will, once again, by decided by minority groups coming together, especially the black vote. But any additional votes from young people will obviously help so she does need to throw them a bone. ย ย How is she so fast? Surely this was recorded prior to Biden's dropping out lmao. 2

Yeah, I agree that memes are surface level and I was talking to my boss about that earlier because of how her young daughters are obsessed with Kamala. But the question is, with how our society now operates, maybe memes over policy is how you reach young people. ย Most people don't have the attention span to even look up policy these days. Or maybe you have to integrate your policy positions into memes. ย 3 minutes ago, GraceRandolph said: I hate that the DNC has primed voters to believe that a long career of loyalty to the party means it's someone's turn to be POTUS. 2032 it'll be VP Shapiro's "turn" and any opposition will be called anti-Semitic.ย I mean, that's just how it's always been. It's "safer" to run someone the country knows, like the VP or an existing big name, than to run someone new. It's all about those donor dollars. 2

TrymeB Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Those of us that are in the 18-29 year old age group (or slightly older) can actually help by volunteering for Kamala and encouraging the youngest generation of voters to go out and vote early. Explaining that elections are rarely between the ideal vs evil and that we can only choose the better of the two major party candidates. The 18-25 year old guys I know have a herd mentality and if you sway one from a group, you can get all of them to follow. Anyone here a volunteer for the dems?ย 2
