And the strategy isn't just fomenting racism. That, too. But, keep talking about the other failures and not just the lunatic things he says to distract us.

Let’s flip this: you can ONLY be corrected if you say something is incorrect.
At no point do conservatives say that Harris said anything that was incorrect.
In the 2020 debate Pence said she would ban fracking, not Harris.
Even FactCheck.org gets it wrong.
Pence: I know Joe Biden says otherwise now, as you do, but the both of you repeatedly committed to abolishing fossil fuel and banning fracking.
Harris: That’s not true
And fracking was not banned.
Wisdom from Warren Buffett.
He is hated on the right for speaking what would seem to be common sense.
High corporate taxes didn't stop growth as claimed. It encouraged investment in research which drove growth.

The first illegal immigrants (white people) didn’t eat cats.
They each other.
I learned a whitewashed version of history where American heroes united and were unified as we defeated fascist powers in WW2. Only much later did I learn of Nazi sympathizers like Lindbergh and Ford (Their reputations were also largely whitewashed by history taught in schools.)

There is more content I see on the website (pictures etc.) I may review as well.
Malmedy Massacre was particularly abhorrent. U.S. representatives amplify Nazi propaganda that the REAL victims were the SS prisoners oppressed by Jewish service members, not the servicemen massacred by the SS.
Nuts, but a subset of the population was all too ready to believe it.
If you haven't already, I would encourage everyone to listen to Rachel Maddow's podcast Ultra (both seasons.)
It is both entertaining and instructive about our relatively recent history. And it is history most of us didn't receive in school.
I knew vaguely about Joe McCarthy using anti-communism campaign as a weapon. I didn't know about the fascist movement behind him. And how it continued from pro-Nazi sentiment in U.S. in WW2.
Scary, but necessary to learn so we don't repeat it.

I always have a tinge of anxiety and frustration when I hear the presidential race is in a dead heat. How? Is our electorate that dense? That prejudiced?
Or is the closeness overstated?
Once again, I am frustrated by that archaic document that governs our elections such that only the votes in a handful of states even matter. Eighteenth century sensibility is out of place in the 21st century. Every vote in every state should matter.
Why do teacher's teacher's? Why not have an incentive to work hard?
Matt Damon nails it. (Reason is a Libertarian media company for those who don't know why a reporter would ask this question.

From MeidasTouch:
Retired Generals & Admirals Blame Trump for Afghan Withdrawal
This new letter makes it clear Trump left a mess
10 former Generals, Admirals, & Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps issued a letter today blaming Donald Trump for the issues that led to the chaotic withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan.
These senior military officers place the blame for the withdrawal squarely on Trump, whose actions leading up to it created an impossible situation for his successor:

Isn't it nice to know your platform of choice will never be accused of being a russian tool for spreading misinformation?
When did Elon Musk become far right? (My theory is he was always that way and just had good PR agent. Then he started speaking for himself.)
