First roller coaster I ever loved, and a neat delineation of Before and After Times. I like daydreaming about grateful future me reflecting on the energy generated this past 30 days and how it translated into a blowout and gave 47 the clout she needed to address Dobbs meaningfully and fully commit US resources and influence to mitigate the looming catastrophe of climate change and and and...which doesn't even seem so fantastical any more.

Carrie Duncan's avatar

But I think the two feelings are diametrically opposed. The way I felt then is that Clinton was going to win and there was no need to ensure that it happened. Disengaged. The way I feel now is VP Harris is going to win and the resulting emotion will drive my full engagement (and that of many like me) in GOTV efforts, because I've stopped subscribing to the myth of Presidents having the power of gods and I want a landslide of a trifecta so undeniable that donors stop giving to the R party or taking any of them seriously. I take full ownership in engaging in the result I want, which goes far beyond this election. This last month is wind at my back.

Jeff, did you know the background on that little tiny town in Michigan where the Orange Shitblimp was yesterday? Do a search of "Howell, MI" and "KKK." It's his version of Reagan declaring his 1980 candidacy in the Mississippi town where the civil rights workers were murdered in 1964.

The first person to enter that race for Democrats was a veteran named Holly McCormack, who lived in the district. They brought Marcus Flowers from a different district months later. I suspect that Jaime Harrison is behind that because they did the same thing this time.

Sometimes (actually a LOT of times) I wonder what the af the Dems are thinking when they do stupid shit like that!! In the 2022 midterms there was a great pro-choice Latina running against Rep Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, TX, but Pelosi & the DNC backed Cuellar, the ONLY anti abortion D Rep in the House.

Where is he now?? Charged with accepting bribes & other assorted crimes. When I found out about that after he very narrowly won, I was so pissed off. 🤬🤬 Like wtf endorsing an anti abortion old male when they had a wonderful pro-choice woman to endorse. If they had backed her, she could have beaten him.

I think the Woodwards and Bernsteins of today are probably NOT going to be found on many MSN outlets. But, as I think most of us also know...they are still out there, if we're willing to search for them.

That is another job that we must take on for ourselves. Finding those INDEPENDENT Truth tellers who will search for the truth and shine a light on them. That's what we can do here on Substack, as well as other places...and share them with each other...and pass them along.

I always look for suggestions from all of you...from Jeff, from Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Scott Dworkin, Dean Obeidallah, Meidas Mighty, and more.

If we don't like what MSN is doing, turn it off...and find the truth somewhere else and tell others...It's a big job, but I don't think MSN is going to get any better...does anyone else?

True. Also the more that those they are attacking counter the malice with good humour the nastier these bad faith attackers will become. Embodying inclusive kindness in spite of their relentless ruthless calumny will seriously set them off.

Just saw a "badmouth" article in WAPO about a Gov Tim mistake/error. Of course the writer fails to mention how Donald and Trump World dealt with the same issue.

We shouldn't ignore these Bad Faith attempts to smear Kamala and Tim. Just comment and complain and post reviews about how transparent and slimy the badmouth efforts are. It's going to get really bad.

Be mentally prepared for Roger Stone and Putin and Murdoch to create and amplify the smears. Congame tricks. Call them out for their pro-Autocrat propaganda motivations. There is no crime too low for these thugs. No shame. No scruples.

Read the same article. The headline was so misleading. Made it sound like Walz was totally at fault for racism and fixing it.

I'd rather support a guy who puts tampons in bathrooms, instead of people who wear them on their ears.

Fake assassination, straight from the mind of Alex Jones and Roger Stone it seems...

"Michelle Obama burned Donald Trump to a heap of ashes and then her husband Barack came out and pissed on them."

Last night's speeches were so great, and the fact that two arenas were filled was fantastic.

But I still have this feeling like something is going to go horribly wrong, because something always does, so everybody must stay vigilant.

As Michelle said DO SOMETHING! She was on fire. I read someone snarkily said, I wonder who wrote her speech? I would be willing to bet she did.

In this case I think we did all our suffering in the last 4 months (bad polls), and now Karma is totally on the good side for us. After a night of grief, joy comes in the morning. This is the morning.

I agree. The behind the scenes fuckery that is happening now to throw the election is setting us up for something that makes January 6 look like a child’s birthday party. That’s why we need to vote in numbers never seen before.

I love how they're taking every one of Trump's little things he considers so important and showing they have outdone him. I think a great strategy is always when you encounter The Bear, know how to look bigger than the bear and be bigger than the bear.

Agreed. We need to look up from our bowls of ice cream continuously. The MOB (monsters of bunglers) are ramping up.

Of course election subversion tactics are still continuing unabashed, I check with Marc Elias daily on those, usually led by McGoebells-Zieg-Heil.
