Harris gained nothing for literally every position she ran to the right on. Any one who provided cover, defended her in these positions, or provided other forms of apologetics: This loss is on you.

Yes and..

Yes, and also everything you'll ever get from them is filtered through a lense of kids who graduated from elite, ivy league institutions. Its not JUST that its owned by billionaires, but also that the culture there has been selected to be membership of the petty bourgeoisie

Zelensky is going to need to shoot his shot. Might be too late.

You need to have a degree of awareness that you are just being circle jerked by publications like the NYT or WaPo.

We need to reject elitism: its what drives people away from the DNC.

Bruh it won't matter.

This is just pattenly untrue.Unless you litterally live I. a corporate news echo chamber, the writing for this has been on the wall, and being discussed as such, litterally everywhere.

However, it was also being downvoted at a preposterously high ratio. So while it was present, Lemmy (and reddit too and pretty much all social media) was dutifully ignoring and abusing those saying that Kamala wasn't winning.

Not only that, but there were bans, and significant bias in moderation behavior to support the building of that echo chamber.

So no. Only if you live in a self construct d bubble was this not obvious since the convention.

It’s going to be really fun to see them dust off the same exact playbook next time around, I already have two copies of it, I use one to even out the table in my kitchen, and the other I use the pages to pick up my dogs shit in the yard.”

This is a strong signal that Harris may over-perform polling.

Across battlegrounds, there is a 10-point gender gap in early voting so far, according to a POLITICO analysis.

To win, Harris should talk more about working-class needs and less about Trump

Our polling shows that the best way to defeat Trump is offer a compelling economic platform that puts working families first Tue 22 Oct 2024 06.00 EDT Last modified on Tue 22 Oct 2024 17.13 EDT 252

The 2024 campaign has entered the final stretch and, as polls tighten, it seems Kamala Harris plans to lean into attacking Donald Trump as a threat to democracy.

Over the past week the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the New York Times and even the conservative National Review have all reported or commented on the messaging pivot. In a newly unveiled official campaign ad, a disembodied voice warns gravely that a second Trump term “would be worse. There would be no one to stop his worst instincts. No guard rails.” At a recent rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Harris reminded her supporters of Project 2025, the “detailed and dangerous plan” that she believes an “increasingly unstable and unhinged” Trump will follow to cement “unchecked power”. She sounded the alarm about the dire threat Trump poses to “your fundamental freedoms” and how in his second term he would be “essentially immune” from oversight.

I think this will be readable to non-members? I'm at least going to repost the first bit, and if people can't access, I'll copy pasta the whole thing.

Trump’s running a Billboard Lawyer campaign

I’m sure you’ve seen those big billboards for plaintiffs’ attorneys: for whatever reason, there are usually lots of them out near the airport. They usually look something like this:

These billboards are not advertising that the attorney is a nice guy. Because you don’t want a nice guy. You’re not trying to win a popularity context. You’re trying to win a lawsuit. You want someone aggressive. Hit back! Get the Gorilla, whatever that means. In fact, you probably expect the plaintiff’s attorney to be a little bit of an asshole. But he’s your asshole. He’s on your side.

You know who this reminds me of?

At one point in this weird nonsensical abortion they call life, I had a 64 Ford Econoline. It was the model that had 360 windows (the 8 door model). It was the most fun touring vehicle I've ever been in. Granted it only did 55 with the pedal to the metal (quite literally floored). The best vehicle I've ever owned. So great for doing back roads in. You could see EVERYTHING.

So the Canoo is going to have a 360 view and a full roof moon roof? Consider me sold for island driving. Come out and see me bruh you gonna get a tour of the island.

So has anyone bought a like.. gen 0 vehicle before? I've never owned a new car. And never from ab untested manufacturer. I'm just lucky to have this chanc.

Like, I expect deliveries to start in the next few months and I'm trying to set expectations for myself. Has any one here preordered an EV? Is this a mistake? Should I just get another leaf?
