The weird messaging is great and I hope it continues because they are so genuinely dull witted, lacking in self awareness and insulated from the common man that they are coming directly off of this shit to try and astro turf their forced milhouse meme.

I was going to post the Sam Brown response because that's your kill shot on the "weird" faggotry. Because this is what they led with
You put those faggots on the back foot so hard with a burned vet they have to drop it. In fact, Trump should bring it up at his rally tonight, talk about how it's shameful to use this. Even 60 year old dumb white women won't be able to excuse themselves out of using it, and they're the worst people.
In Arizona Kari Lake won, Abe Hamedeh won, and some local Maricopa GOPe were voted out.

DNC campaign is completely taken over by liberal hivemind echo chamber from San Francisco and utterly devoid of common working men and women.
It is incredible. I can't believe they let this happen.

I'm finding it endlessly amusing that the party with Hollywood in their corner is literally trying to act like the 'mean cheerleader' stereotype and are now getting the 'ugly losers' they've been trying to put down to stand up to them, with heroic speeches that sound exactly like what the 'weirdo protagonist' from those movies would say to the mean girls' face when they're done taking shit from the latter no less. To say nothing of the obvious reality that the side of drag queens, perverts, criminals & their enablers, Movieblob-esque losers filled with hate and all other sorts of spiteful mutants have got very little room to call anyone else 'weird'. Who in the hell thought this line of attack was the way to go?

Hmm what is this?
Odd, what is NewVote Nevada?
Ok so its founded by a man named Mark Riffenburg, who is he?
Well hes 30 according to linkedin, so the age range to do these stupid memes
He seems to like Nintendo
He is also with HER
Seems he ran for office at 18, so his entire life has been politics.
So not very interesting but I would say this guy has fucked more couches than Vance in his life.

The thing that you have to remember is that Democrats are incredibly used to focusing on criticisms. They don't know how to not engage critically.
That's how you know the Kamala propaganda is a mask and not anyone's real feelings. If Democrats were talking about their real feelings, they'd be pointing out some ways Kamala needs to improve and problems she will have. The propagandists are keeping a totally rosy, "no problems here!" attitude that allows no criticism.
That will last about 3-4 weeks. Then the bottled-up frustrations will start leaking out around the edges. If she picks a Jewish running mate, it'll start with the pro-Palestine faction.

Shapiro is a guy trying to act moderate but he's a deep liberal who has pure elitism. He's short and has very similar attack points as Meatball does. He's the kind of guy who thinks he's a smoother talker than he really is which comes across more as high pressure salesman.
Vance would fuck him up in a debate because Vance shows rags to riches, Shapiro shows contempt for not believing him to be the greatest thing. A good example of Shapiro is how Mr. Beast acts, he's fine until someone disagrees with him then becomes a passive aggressive faggot. And this is before him being jewish creates even more problems in the party, because he either bends the knee and pisses off other jews or says israel is fine and the jihadis go apeshit.

I’ve gotta say, Kamala calling burn victims “Weird” isn’t the win the dems think it is. Service members already skew republican but it’ll be a red wave.

If I were such an effeminate twink that people regularly mistook me for a pooner at 30 years old, the last thing I'd want to do is go all-in on the catty "weird" name-calling.Seems he ran for office at 18, so his entire life has been politics.

An interesting read.
Harris mobilizes grassroots activists, sorority sisters. But not all Black women are on board

ATLANTA —
Black women have long been celebrated as the Democratic Party’s most loyal and steadfast voting bloc. Even so, their votes can’t be taken for granted, and if you want to understand the opportunities and challenges Kamala Harris faces in her run for the White House, consider two Black women: Robyn Donaldson and Shaquita Jones.
Donaldson embodies the energy and hope many Black women felt when President Biden announced he would not seek reelection and endorsed Harris to lead the Democratic ticket. When she heard the news, she screamed and ran around her mom’s house in Chicago.
A stream of Black women — including California Rep. Maxine Waters and Beyoncé’s mom — rushed to endorse Harris. “Ahahahaha lets gooooo,” rapper Cardi B posted on X.
But some, like Jones, are less certain. “I don’t know much about her,” said Jones, a 35-year-old manager of a Krispy Kreme in Atlanta’s historically Black West End neighborhood. “I’ll have to do research.”
Donaldson, a grassroots organizer who has spent two decades mobilizing volunteers to get out the vote for Democrats, has no such qualms.
Though she had still planned to vote for Biden and had campaigned for him in 2020, the 40-something trauma-informed yoga teacher felt let down, she said, after he failed to deliver on voting rights. This year she decided she would vote early by mail and then not do “a darn thing.”
But when Biden endorsed Harris on July 21, she got to work, plotting with other Black women to mobilize a rush of new volunteers to donate, staff phone banks, knock on doors, serve as poll workers or precinct captains.
“I am all in for VP Harris,” she said. “The energy and excitement has gone from zero to 1,000!”

Jones also voted for Biden in 2020, but had decided she would not vote for him again.
The Biden administration, Jones said, had done little to improve her life. Her monthly rent had climbed from $875 to $1,600 over the last four years. Her pay — $20 an hour — hadn’t changed.
“Everybody’s struggling financially,” she said.
Jones said she hoped Harris might offer something different than Biden and Trump and help Black Americans a bit more. But support Harris? She still wasn’t sure.
In 2020, more than 90% of Black women voters supported the Biden-Harris ticket. In the swing state of Georgia, Black women played a pivotal role in flipping the red state blue — registering college students to vote and campaigning, sometimes by waving signs on street corners.
But Biden’s victory here was slim — he won by just 11,779 votes — and recent polls showed him down 5.9 points against former President Trump.
While the prospect of Harris as president has inspired many Black professionals, activists and sorority sisters to volunteer, donate and share memes of the VP as Wonder Woman, the mood is more tepid among some blue-collar workers like Jones — women struggling with rising rents and grocery prices.
With school starting next month, the single mother of two said she had a more pressing question than who to vote for: “Am I going to pay my bills or am I gonna get my son some new uniforms?”
An analysis of interviews with women voters published this month by KFF found that 14% of Black women who voted for Biden in 2020 said they did not plan to vote in the 2024 presidential race — and 8% said they would vote for Trump.
Fewer than half of Black women voters aged 18 to 49 said they were “absolutely certain” they would vote.
About 53% of Black women voters in KFF’s surveys said inflation and the rising cost of household expenses was the most important issue. Only 12% of Black women voters identified abortion and 18% identified threats to democracy as key problems.
Even so, Harris certainly has enthused key members of the Democratic base.
The day Biden endorsed Harris, more than 44,000 Black women and allies from across the country logged into Zoom for an event organized by Win With Black Women, a collective of intergenerational Black women. Organizers said they raised more than $1.5 million in three hours.
Kerry L. Haynie, a professor of political science at Duke University, said the prospect of Harris’ candidacy had generated “buzz” the Democratic Party hadn’t felt since Barack Obama ran for president in 2008.
After Biden withdrew from the race, Haynie fielded a call from his 85-year-old mother: “Can you believe it’s going to be a Black woman nominee?”
Then, his 22-year-old daughter, who had not been enthusiastic about Biden, called: “Have you seen the news?” She thought it was a great move.
Harris’ rise appears to be enthusing even grassroots activists who came out in force in the last few weeks to defend Biden.
On July 13, LaTosha Brown, a co-founder of Black Voters Matter, condemned “the hyperbolic, coordinated and well-funded dissent” led by white politicians, pundits and donors to push Biden out of the race. She said a Biden withdrawal would be a “risky and ill-prepared move that can further splinter the vote and add confusion to the process for voters.”
But on July 21, Brown was startled when one of her older cousins ran into the room at a family reunion in Norcross, Ga., to announce Biden had dropped out and endorsed Harris.
Some relatives cheered. “Oh God!” one shouted. “We can win!”
Over the next 24 hours, Brown’s phone lit up with calls and texts — not just from the usual grassroots organizers, but from friends who rarely or never volunteered.
After logging onto the Win With Black Women Zoom, Brown was too excited to sleep. Her phone kept beeping as she tried to lie down, so she wound up holding an impromptu meeting with activists, staying up past 3:30 a.m. to discuss the possibilities of Harris as president.
“This is just what we needed,” she said. “It feels a clear path to victory.”
Some Black women worry that their fellow Americans are not ready to elect a Black woman president to the nation’s highest office. Many expect Trump, who mocked and undermined Clinton in 2016 for playing “the woman’s card,” to lob sexist attacks against Harris.
But eight years after the race with Clinton, Brown argued, a misogynist playbook wouldn’t work so well. Women, she said, were activated after the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade.
“My grandmother had this saying: ‘What the devil means for harm, God will use for your good,’” Brown said. “What Trump often does is he tries to berate women and demean their character.... Her gender, he may see as a burden, but I actually think it’s a blessing. If America ever needed a woman to helm the ship, it would be now.”
Still, some Black women resist appeals to support Harris just because she’s a Black woman.
Joi Jenkins, a food prep worker at an Atlanta juice bar, said she voted for Biden in 2020, hoping that, with Harris behind him, he would represent not just the common man, but the most needy. She said she wouldn’t make that same mistake again.
“Her being a Black woman doesn’t give her an allegiance to me as a person,” Jenkins said.
The Biden years had been rough for Jenkins: In 2021, she lost her home and her health consulting business and was forced to send her children to live with her ex-husband. After a long period of couch-surfing and sleeping outside in her truck, the 44-year-old had a job that paid $13 an hour, but she was struggling to pay $370 a week hopping from Airbnb to Airbnb.
Jenkins said she thought Harris had been used by Biden.
“I don’t know that if push came to shove, I would want her to be leading the country,” Jenkins said. “Honestly, I don’t think she’s capable.”
Instead, Jenkins said she was leaning toward voting for “that ridiculous orange human.”
Harris also has a challenge in bringing on board young left-wing voters who are disillusioned with the Biden-Harris administration’s staunch support for Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and are skeptical of her record as a tough-on-crime California prosecutor.
Brionte McCorkle, 32, the executive director of Georgia Conservation Voters, said she had long been wary of Harris because of her record as a prosecutor. In 2020, she supported Bernie Sanders over Harris.
“The criminal justice thing, locking Black people up for marijuana, that’s such a big part of the prison pipeline,” McCorkle said. “I really didn’t care for that kind of law-and-order candidate approach.”
But not voting was not an option. McCorkle learned her lesson in 2016 when she decided not to vote for Clinton — “I literally thought at the time, ‘How bad can it be?’” — and watched the country descend into “absolute chaos” as Trump dismantled government programs and rolled back environmental protection.
But that was then. Today, it didn’t feel so stressful — as if she were carrying water — to urge people to vote for Harris.
“Is she a perfect candidate?” McCorkle said. “No. Is she far better than Trump and Biden? Absolutely.”
