@TheAbbotTrithemius I was just saying to a friend how woeful and transparent press motives are. But if you were a self-respecting organization with journalistic standards and a desire to report events, wouldn’t you want to observe and explore the marvel of a groundswell movement? A potential sea change in the political landscape? Because that’s what this feels like to me.
Sick of the BS narrative begun by the NY Times (of course…) of “Honeymoon phase” and “Sugar high” and it’s like WTF? Just let it be … it’s real and it’s a cultural phenom already…and there’s a deep deep thirst for the Harris/Walz campaign. Don’t second guess asshole horse race news agencies needing to manufacture drama (like the insipid NY Slimes), just fcking report the facts jackasses…

TPM: Harris’ Campaign Is Working—Get Used to It
“Presidential campaigns are about defining choices about the direction of country. Having people getting excited about your campaign and your vision about the future of the country is a good thing, not some frivolous sugar high. I’m sure Harris will do some sit-down interviews. But we should remember that the purpose of a campaign is to win an election.”

#PSA
Since #Google is rather dedicated to ad revenue, and they tend to hide certain options from you (ever tried to find alternate #search engines?), it can pay to have some alternatives bookmarked.
This is especially true if you are looking for proper #Research info. I often find myself fact checking claims & assumptions. For example:

Solution.
What we do have time for. Is the national popular vote initiative.
The bill will take effect when enacted by states possessing an additional 65 electoral votes.
That's all we need. It has also passed at least one legislative chamber in 8 states possessing 78 electoral votes.
Because all elections are run by the states. And this is a state initiative.
The supreme Court has absolutely nothing to do with it.
If there is a court battle, it will get no higher than the state Supreme Court.
And so far, no one has filed a state suit against it where it has already passed.
Worried about the electoral college?
What we do still have time for. Is the national popular vote initiative.
The bill will take effect when enacted by states possessing an additional 65 electoral votes.
That's all we need. It has also passed at least one legislative chamber in 8 states possessing 78 electoral votes.
Truth matters. Time, attention, thought, empathy & patience matter
