All the people at the Vance rally are media; print, video, TV/radio, and pool-credentialed press.
There are very few real (for lack of a better term) people there.
@countZZero who needs voters when you have electors who won’t follow vote tallies and SCOTUS justices who’ll find in opposition to their “states rights” ideology to secure power for their tippers?
Republican fuckery aside to game rather than win this election I’m optimistic turnout will make results inarguably apparent for a Harris win. We might even see previous “red” states that are not considered swing states flip to Harris.
@countZZeroAaron Sorkin can take a leap on a flying dressage horse: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2024/07/21/aaron-sorkin-mitt-romney-president-biden/74489599007/
It's simple. Liberals tend to play by the rules, expect the quality of their ideals to be self evident, and make appeals to the intellect. Republicans play to win, or create the illusion of a winning. They speak to emotions such as fear, scarcity, and greed. And frame themselves as the party of Alpha males.
Broadly the Democrats are Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. The Republicans are Mötley Crüe.
