It's going to be a bunch of white people in the audience and it's in Illinois, a reliably blue state. Like, Trump is gonna spend his time attacking a black woman in front of a bunch of black people. They lost out and ruined their credibility. 3 minutes ago, VOSS said: Maybe Kamala can move to the center on LGBTQ issues if winning Arab voters in Michigan is so important? There have been a lot of protests there about those issues. So she can't move to the middle when it comes to something happening in a foreign country but she can move to the middle regarding rights of Queer Americans? That would be insane, but something leftists would totally be okay with. 3 minutes ago, justin. said: Wait is it confirmed she's announcing her VP pick on Monday? She's going on a tour of the battleground states with her VP next week so she'll have to announce it before then. Edited July 31 by Sannie

Vroom Vroom Posted July 31 Posted July 31 It is becoming very clear that Kamala's campaign platform is Biden's. Probably for a mixture of reasons. There's not enough time to create a new platform, she is still the vp and needs to stay on the same page as her president ect. She has momentum because she is not Biden or Trump, not because of policy. It will be interesting to see if her vp pick will impact this momentum at all 3 1
Sannie Posted July 31 Posted July 31 (edited) These people just can't help themselves, but certain voters on the left are okay with them taking over the country because Kamala doesn't pass their purity test.

People like Biden's policies, they just didn't want an 80-year-old man for President. But she is moveable. That's the biggest deal, we can push her. Edited July 31 by Sannie
ATRL Moderator Azulito Posted July 31 ATRL Moderator Posted July 31 2 hours ago, Bamboo said: my fear with the Dems going on a more offensive approach is that they don't really know where to stop and always end up doing these weird elitist punching down attacks. The party that advocates for healthcare for the poor…is making fun of people for being too poor to afford dental care? This is what Hillary did when she was on offense too (i.e. the deplorables) and it did not work. I hope Team Kamala itself does not adopt this messaging because it is a slippery slope. The offensive messaging and "weird" tactic should focus on how Trump, Vance, Republican Party in general has weird beliefs and advocates for things normal people do not care about. It should not attack the voters and the normal people on the ground. Yeah I really don't see the point in this. This isn't gonna win Democrats any votes. I kinda feel the same way about the "prosecutor vs felon" billboards. Advocating for them to have voting rights restored while also implying they still deserve less rights isn't a good look imo. 1

Y'all are just bad at messaging lol. The people having their voting rights restored are in large part people of color who were overcharged for petty crimes such as marijuana possession. It has nothing to do with this messaging or Trump who is not just a 30+-time convicted felon but also up for a bevy of other charges for crimes against the USA. Not comparable or hypocritical.

There have been a lot of protests there about those issues. Genuinely what is wrong with you? How does an affluent city dwelling West Coast urbanite get radicalized from a pipeline of "let's build more housing" to "racial minorities outside of America deserve to die and American hegemony is good"? You posted that stupid ass thread yesterday about fake Heil Hitler chants and hid it when it was debunked. Genuinely what life experience puts someone so clearly privileged down such a path of a reactionary, nasty ideology? Not to put people in boxes but I've never seen a user match such a caricature of their ideology. How does one go from "actually YIMBYism is progressive and we're driven by the desire to end inequality" to then posting and promoting all of the below far right narratives (all of which you've done) - Affirmative action and DEI is anti-Asian and anti-white racism - Homeless people are all drug addicts who choose to be homeless - Crime can only be solved through harsh punitive policing and jailing - American hegemony and harsh immigration policies are good because most migrants are bad and culturally regressive, seeking to invade and take over America - Genocide is good What is the ideological transformation that's happening here? What struggles do you have as a high income earner in..what is it? Oregon? Washington? That makes you think your political goals come from exterminating Palestinians? Edited July 31 by Communion 1 1

He's trying to grossly mock Palestinians and suggest the existence of some conservative Muslim Americans means Democrats should tune out their pain over a genocide. Yet it was ironically Dem big wigs like Clinton who were arguing to let trans kids commit suicide and suffer for electoral gains back in 2018. Conservative suburbanites hate poor people and will go for Trump by 70% if we do Medicare For All and thus we apparently have to abandon a policy 90% of Dems want yet apparently Muslim Americans who routinely vote overwhelmingly for Dems should be smeared for this loyalty now that it's literal life and death on the line for them.

Blade Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Even more reason why he needs to debate Kamala I hate to sound like a **** lib but like his base, Trump is definitely more prone to being irked by Kamala solely bc she's a woman of color. 3

Rachel Scott was burying his ass and then Harris Faulker came in to save him. 1
