For anyone who was wondering why Trump refused to release the medical report after the shooting, this is why.
I see this as an unqualified win for Canada.
Nikki Haley has credibility?
See, that part I don't agree with. Fascists, for the most part, are cowards, and violence can, in the right circumstances, be a very effective tool in a broader strategy of denying them any form of platform or admission to public spaces. It is both effective, and a moral good, to punch fascists.
900 pages is a suitable length for a large scale overarching policy agenda. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into every detail of this.
The content of that 900 pages, now that's insane. It's literally a blueprint for a fascist Christian theocracy.
Trump didn't write Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation did. This is the agenda of the Republican party, not any one figurehead.
The short version of the argument being made is basically this; if you think killing fascists will solve fascism, you're going to need a LOT of bullets to get the job done.
Trump is not the problem, he is the symptom. He's the GOP with the mask off. The toxicity he represents will not go away with his eventual death, whenever and however that comes.
Exactly. I'm not always the biggest fan of conventional political wisdom, but in this case I think it's fair to say that getting most of America to vote for a black woman will already be a pretty big deal, and move the needle forward significantly.
And Kamala doesn't need AOC to appeal to younger and more left wing voters. She's already pretty far left of her party on most issues, and has the record to prove it.
Arizona has a Dem governer, who gets to pick the replacement. The seat is safely theirs no matter what.
Because they know AOC + Harris will be way too scary for the "pathetically insecure white dudes" demographic.
You know what? If it gets them driving electric, fuck it, I'll take it.
538, by design, lags behind the latest polling, because they're intentionally smoothing out the numbers. Trends - if they're real - will take time to express themselves as a result.
The key takeaway here is that these numbers are still very good for the Dems, because Trump is at his absolute ceiling in popularity. He's coming off of a strong debate performance and nearly being killed. That's as good as it gets for him. The American public isn't going to grow to like him as they get to know him more; he's dominated political discourse non-stop for the last eight years. There's no room left for him to grow.
Kamala, on the other hand, has a lot of room to grow. That doesn't guarantee that she will, but it puts all the initiative in her hands. There's still time for the Dems to play this wrong, but also a lot of space for them to play it right.
I don't think that's remotely a tinfoil hat statement. If you look at Biden's record in general, he's the kind of guy who tends to say nothing while he quietly does the work to put an actual plan in place, and only acts when he knows he's in a position to act effectively.
It would be completely consistent with his past behaviour, and entirely the smart thing to do.
Stop saying "cop" when you mean "prosecutor". They're not remotely the same thing.
The problem is that the overwhelming majority of the working poor in America consider themselves "middle class". So that's how you have to direct your message if you want it to reach the most people.
So, what you're saying is, there definitely totally could have been consequences for realises absolutely. There weren't any, but boy howdie there could have been.
Look, I get your point, but the fact that avoiding said consequences was so trivially easy kind of massively undermines it. Most people would have a harder time getting out of a traffic ticket.
Get ready
Get out the vote. Trump, despite his polling, is deeply unpopular with the average American. The problem isn't the people voting for Trump, its the people who aren't voting in general. In 2020, 40 million registered Dems did not vote. Round up every friend and family member, get them registered, get them voting. Go as a group on election, bring snacks and drinks for everyone. Offer a ride or share a cab.
Trump is extremely beatable. They know this, and it's why they're panicking right now. Project 2025 isn't just beatable, it's an albatross; that's why the GOP are pretending they had nothing to do with it, but that leaves them unable to actually articulate any policy positions because it is their policy position.
Why be preparing for failure when you could be planning to win?
Hey, don't you dare try to pawn him off on us, bud.
Q: We really appreciate everything you’ve shared. To finish up, what is one question you wish I’d asked and how would you have answered?
A: I’ll give you the fun one, which is, we know racing as part of CrowdStrike. Why is that? What does all that mean? It’s a couple of things. One, it’s part of CrowdStrike. Many have probably seen us. If they’ve watched Formula One or Netflix, we’re big sponsors there and we’re pretty active in the US as well. And I think it’s been a great platform for us to gather like-minded customers together to spend some time talking about security in the industry and also understanding that, to your original comment, speed is critical for security. Speed is critical in racing as well. And if you could combine great technology like Formula One and CrowdStrike and speed together, that’s a winning proposition and the details matter, right? If you take care of the details, the little stuff takes care of the big stuff. And that’s just part of our DNA. I think it’s [speed] has served us really well.
