First half of this clip is Harris’s rally crowd today.
Second half is Vance’s rally crowd today.
Brings back Four Seasons Landscaping memories.
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.
I am cautiously optimistic. If anyone can blow an election with 90 days to go, the Democrats can.
@countZZero are you suggesting the Democratic Party has a history of grasping defeat from the jays of victory? Going by the speeches and media this team seems better at messaging. However, they need to inform potential voters of said Republican fuckery and link it to the need for overwhelming turnout.
P.S. The Fuckery would be a great name for a late 70s early 80s singles bar chain.

@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.
@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.
