I really like their point about saying that She is for US. Given how blatantly the other side is against women, pointing out that Harris is absolutely for women does sound quite powerful to me. |

This is what Democrats do when they give a speech. They tell you what they want to do to help the American People.
Kamala HQ…
”Vice President Harris: On day one, I will work to take on price gouging and bring down costs. We will ban more of those hidden fees, we will take on corporate landlords and cap unfair rent increases, and we will take on Big Pharma to cap prescription drug costs for all Americans”
Meanwhile ….
Acyn…
”Trump: Tariffs are good. They’re also good for something else. Power”
How are tariffs good if they raise the cost of goods?

And there is this from CF…
Acyn…
”Trump: How do you think they will look? President XI of China standing together with Kamala Harris, representing -- I don't want her to be my representative”
Which prompted this response….
”He’s gonna say a woman should never be president before this is over. Guaranteed.”

That’s true. I remember that….. It might have been the first time a U.S. President was laughed at ever while giving a speech. Especially at the United Nations.
Kamala HQ…
”Trump: When I was president, we weren’t laughed at
(He was literally laughed at in front of the entire world at the United Nations)”

Who was the group behind Kamala in the yellow/orange T-shirts at the Atlanta rally? The enthusiasm was awesome!

I read this super scary article linked on Reddit and to be honest besides P2025/A47, this detailed plan of how the GOP plans to steal the election needs to be shared and discussed and everyone needs to be very aware. This is NOT going to stop with her getting elected. November is going to be scary. ☹️ hartmannreport.com/p/the-new-over-the-top-secret-plan-518Also on Reddit, I saw someone say "Kamala is running for OUR freedom, Donald is running for HIS freedom." I love it. |

Interesting snippet about Harris in Florida.... Before President Joe Biden announced his exit from the 2024 race, Florida was already showing signs of being more favorable for Democrats than previously imagined. A FOX 13/Insider Advantage poll from mid-July found that women voters in Florida were trending in favor of the Democratic ticket. And former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-Florida), who is running against Sen. Rick Scott (R-Florida) in November, is within striking distance of the GOP incumbent in the most recent polls aggregated by FiveThirtyEight. www.rawstory.com/news/deep-red-republican-stronghold-thought-to-be-easy-win-for-trump-is-now-a-swing-state/ |

Raphael Warnock is always so inspiring. I hope he has a place in her administration or a future administration. His comments are also a sharp contrast to the orange menace questioning VP Harris' identify today. Raphael WarnockCALL TO ACTIVISM @calltoactivism
MUST-WATCH: This moving speech by Senator Raphael Warnock at the Harris campaign rally in Altanta, Georgia, will be remembered and watched for generations to come. Just wow. |

My MIL called today and after we talked for a while she shared that she is now getting a larger SS check as her husband passed in April and she is so happy it’s so large and she can afford to live. Doesn’t believe anyone could lower her check or raise Medicare snd meds. Ugg

Alright, I purchased a shirt that says How hard can it be? Boys do it. Kamala 2024
Spoke to me as I was always the only girl on my Civitan Little League baseball teams and had to prove my worth to some of the boys and parents. One boy (coach's son) spit on my cleats when I beat him for pitcher position. He had to run a lot of laps for that.

But they will do away with the lower prescription costs. She thinks it’s nuts that we pay more than other countries but she will vote Republican. She just doesn’t seem to understand that this is going to hurt her and many other senior. She is ok snd set but many more aren’t. She also knows that others won’t we able to collect until they are older but oh well it doesn’t effect her so … |

I have tried to tell her this but she doesn’t believe me. We live in California so it’s not like it’s going to matter as we will vote blue but still. It’s frustrating. She just doesn’t think she will lose her insurance. She has Lupus so does need medications and sees a specialist. I think she will be fine but there are so many low income seniors that are already struggling to make ends meet and any cuts would be disastrous. But let’s worry that someone they don’t think deserves it gets help so let’s start cutting help. Found out my FIL received a whole $12 in food stamps like that really could help anyone. |

Raphael Warnock was on fire. This clip gave me chills, too.
MeidasTouch @meidastouch
Warnock: A Florida man called into Georgia and said I need 11,780 votes. I want you to think about that. Georgia, Donald Trump tried to steal your vote. Kamala Harris is trying to earn your vote.

An interesting perspective on campaign messages, the Democratic message of weirdness and how to respond to Trump's race baiting. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/01/kamala-harris-response-trump-racism-divisive-weird/Trump intends to run the only campaign he has ever been capable of running — an attack on multiculturalism and changing demographics. Trump’s argument, reduced to its core, is that the America of his youth is being ruined by immigrants and coddled minorities, and Democrats are too controlled by the cult of diversity to do anything about it.
To Trump and Vance, a senator from Ohio, Harris seems to present the perfect foil. Like Obama, she’s Black but of mixed lineage, the itinerant child of a broken marriage. She can be made to portray a sinister kind of otherness in America — someone who acts the part but doesn’t really belong. This is what all the identity and Canada nonsense is about.
But unlike Obama, who came off as maddeningly cool and cerebral, Trump thinks Harris can be framed to fit another bigoted stereotype: the angry Black woman. Trump wants her to be simmering with indignation, quick to call out racism and discrimination. He wants to be able to say to White voters in swing states, in effect: “You see this woman who’s shouting about what a racist I am? You think she doesn’t think the same thing about you? Is this what you want the next four years to look like?”
Harris, on the other hand, has in these early days of the campaign latched on to a message about the “weirdness” of her Republican opponents. It’s not the term I’d choose. (“Weird” is what mean children say to other kids who don’t fit in, and we have enough of that already.) However, the underlying idea, I think, is powerful. Trump and his aging party are clinging at all costs to a long-dead version of 1950s America, strangely fixated on fears of outsiders who look or sound different, like some creepy old uncle who still packs a bomb shelter with fresh batteries and cans of Spam.
Whenever Harris is talking about Trump’s obsolete worldview and how to finally move past it, she’s running her campaign.
And so a more disciplined response from Harris would have sounded something like: “I don’t know why he’s talking about me being Black again, or where I grew up, or whatever. It’s kind of strange, this fixation with who belongs and who doesn’t. The vast majority of Americans don’t really define each other by skin color or where their parents came from anymore, but I guess Donald missed all that.”
That’s a message the centers on modernity. It’s a confident message that gives Americans credit for the progress we’ve made and makes Trump and Vance seem desperate and out of touch, which they are.
I’m not minimizing the personal impact that race-baiting probably has on Harris. I’m guessing she saw enough of that as a child, and it probably took all the restraint she had not to remind Trump that she was born Black, just like he was born a bigot.
But there’s really only one way to make Trump regret his nativist bullying. And that’s to stay on your own message and win. |

There was a comment on a local FB group about TFG being afraid to debate a black woman and I couldn’t believe how many said that she isn’t really black that her mom was Indian and father was a Caucasian from Jamaica. I have never seen her father but if you google the population has only 3.2% Caucasian. I don’t think she has ever denied being black snd has always claimed to be black and Indian but all of a sudden she isn’t according to TFG 🤦♀️ So why is he trying to now change her ethnicity? Really it shouldn’t matter the color of her skin but I can’t believe that now they are saying she really isn’t. Also didn’t he brag that he donated to her campaign and that he endorsed a black woman years ago to prove he wasn’t racist? He sure has his base fired up about her not being black.

It is easier to claim they are not discriminating against her because she is Black. Or no one will object to them discriminating because she is white/Indian just like Nikki Haley ..

FYI - not that I can fathom people giving this idiocy justification. VP Harris attended Howard University, the idea that one day she "became black" is ludicrous.  |

Future VP candidate? There are rumors he cancelled events on Long Island this weekend. Regardless of whether or not he gets added to the ticket, I like his answers. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/01/us/politics/josh-shapiro-potential-harris-vp-pick-cancels-weekend-fund-raisers.htmlJosh Shapiro, Potential Harris V.P. Pick, Cancels Weekend Fund-Raisers The Pennsylvania governor had been scheduled to headline events in the Hamptons for his own campaign committee. Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to announce her running mate selection by Tuesday. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, one of the front-runners to be Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, has abruptly canceled a three-event fund-raising swing through the Hamptons just days before Ms. Harris is expected to make her selection.
Mr. Shapiro had been expected to headline three different events throughout the wealthy New York island towns, according to invitations seen by the Times. But gradually, throughout Wednesday, hosts were informed that Mr. Shapiro would no longer take part, according to two people briefed on the matter. Shapiro |

As a biracial person, it is my biggest pet peeve when I can only chose one race on a form. Why do I have to choose. It has gotten better the last couple of decades. But I am equally (for all intents and purposes) half of each, not more one or the other.
Lately if there is a multiracial option that is what I happily choose.

Enough said! This caused an uproar in the comments, with one user, @drdind, saying, "Excellent! I know someone ready for a black job promotion!" The commenter included a photo of Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running for president. x.com/Simone_Biles/status/1819284274224173147 |
