@realTuckFrumper My only criticism: you can actually do both. The problem is not which sector of the electorate is the focus; it's that there needs to be a strong POSITIVE appeal β€” NOT just "I'm not #Trump." The Democratic Party needs to kick the billionaire habit, and embrace the spirit of FDR: "I welcome their hatred." Full cancellation of ALL student debt, #MedicareForAll, etc. And make it crystal clear that the cost is to be paid 100% by billionaires, with NOTHING taken from anyone else, including the "affluent" who aren't billionaires. No technocratic means-testing bullshit, no playing off one economic stratum against another β€” EXCEPT billionaires vs. everyone else. The Dems might be surprised how many supposedly staunch right-wingers could get behind such a program β€” IN ADDITION to energizing the Democratic base.

#Democratic #Party #Semantics experts are working hard to find out why #Kamala #Harris's promise to do

"Absolutely nothing about anything,"

Fell flat with voters, when #Trump's promise to, "Do many things about many things - a great many things about so very many things," seemed to go down well with voters.

Some #voters said that Kamala was promising more than she could realistically deliver.

The jury is out.

So on Now 26 #Trump has a sentencing hearing for his criminal conviction in New York. The maximum penalty he can face is four years in jail. By strange coincidence the term of office for #POTUS is also four years. Just saying....

In addition to blaming all the horrible disgusting people who voted for Trump, we also need to blame the horrible disgusting Democratic Party, which for *decades* has:

😑 Pretended to be good for working people β€” while simultaneously gutting public health and public education, while aggressively undermining unions and undercutting free speech, and while cheering the growth of capitalist globalization.

😑 Pretended to be good for BIPOC β€” while simultaneously being "tough on crime" and supporting the expansion of private prisons, and while promoting the neoliberal colonialist agenda.

😑 Pretended to be good for the climate β€” while simultaneously supporting and subsidizing the planet-wrecking fossil fuel industry.

And so much more...

It is interesting to see pictures of #American #election polling stations. Not just the long lines that I am not familiar with in #Canada, but the sea of election signs directly outside some polling stations. In Canada I have seen election workers start their day by clearing all the signs within a short distance of the polling station in order to remove any partizan influence. I think there is so much the #America could do to improve their #democracy by improving how elections are run, and absolutely none of them have anything to do with purging voter rolls.

Watching an #Armageddon movie from 15 years ago called ICE which looks like a #UK reboot of The Day After Tomorrow. Not too bad for a #disaster flick and seems oddly appropriate given the world is actually scheduled to end tomorrow.

I wonder if #Trump spreading the story that the election is in the bag, in order to lat the ground work to reject the results, is ultimately self defeating? Will many of his #cult followers simply not vote because they've already won?
