So, thanks Jeff Bezos, now we see it all very clearly if we didn't see it before...

This election is The Billionaires vs. The People

And the billionaires are trying to hoodwink, lie, bride, cheat and steal enough votes to get over the line, and then end democracy for good. Screw them. We are not giving them our country.

@KamalaHarrisWin

With her statement today Kamala Harris has leveled with the American people.

A vote for Trump is a vote for fascism.

The end of democracy.

The end of our nation as we know it.

That is what is at stake in this election.

No hiding from it.

So, hold on a minute, is it illegal to ACCEPT one of Musk's voting bribes?

Quite a lot has been discussed about how Musk has entered illegal territory with his vote/registration bribing scheme (Edit: See https://electionlawblog.org/?p=146397), but if you look at the statute, it seems it also addresses those who ACCEPT money, and the penalty is five years in prison.

You Can't Say NAZI

Important thread from @wdlindsy today about how the media and social media in particular is so hooked on polite euphemisms that it ends up sanitizing away real dangers.

https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/113340282615190314

"It's entirely possible that we're on the verge of a total Nazi takeover of the U.S. government, is the thing..." If we can't even write down the word, how are we supposed to combat this threat.

@KamalaHarrisWin

💥 Just had to share this with you. 👀

@maxkennerly just posted that Beaver County PA, an historic 'bellweather' county is looking better than expected for Harris (https://mstdn.social/@maxkennerly/113335024831839738).

So decided to drill into the early vote reporting from Beaver County and OMG!!!

Check this out! It is really unbelievable. 2:1 Dem advantage and UP 4K votes out of 11K total votes!!!

If this is a bellweather, PA is looking great!

Keep voting early.

Let's win this in October!

VOTE EARLY THIS WEEKEND

Good morning. If you live in a state where you can vote early or vote by mail, why not vote this weekend?

Check your state: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/map-early-voting-mail-ballot-states/

Voting early is the best thing you can do to help Harris. It establishes a winning narrative which undermines polling manipulation by biased GOP pollsters. It also motivates our team and demoralizes them. Right now, with more than 10 million votes already banked, Dems are up by >1.5 million votes.

VOTE!

@KamalaHarrisWin

Early Voting Deep Dive

So, what can we glean about the election from the early voting data so far?

Bottom line, things are going very well. Much better than expected. It is still early, but there are a lot of reasons for us to be optimistic and them to be nervous.

This long thread summarizes some of the commentary by Simon Rosenberg in todays Hopium Chronicles talk: https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/working-hard-and-closing-strong-my

Recommend you listen to it all, but what follows are some of the saliant bits.

VOTE EARLY!

@KamalaHarrisWin

Why Vote Early?

Been getting some questions. What difference does it make?

1. An early vote lead creates the media narrative we are winning.

2. People are more likely to vote if they think they are on the winning team.

3. Conversely, people don't like being on the losing team, so if they think they are behind they may not vote.

4. When folks see others voting they are more likely to vote.

1/2

@KamalaHarrisWin

Why Vote Early (cont.)

5. Voting early gets you off the GOTV lists, so we can focus on other prospective voters.

6. Voting early, and checking your ballot was received, creates time to cure any ballot issues.

7. Having had a big early vote lead makes it harder to claim we cheated.

8. Gets it off your mind. If something comes up and you're busy on election day, your vote is in the can.

So VOTE EARLY!

Get your friends and family to vote early.

Win this in October!

2/2

@KamalaHarrisWin

Dems up almost one million votes in early voting!

Real votes are what matters!

An early vote lead demoralized the opponent, helps raise money and let's GOTV efforts focus on lower propensity voters. It's the best thing you can do to help Harris right now.

It's a great day to VOTE EARLY!

If you can vote in your state DO IT TODAY!

@KamalaHarrisWin

The New York Times has reached a point of criminal absurdity in their refusal to cover Trump honestly.

Sanewashing his looney tunes town hall dance episode and no coverage of this weekend's threat to deploy the US military against "enemies within."

We can joke about it, but this bias and dereliction of duty by the paper of record is a deadly series affair that could have real permanent consequences for our democracy.

Publisher AG Sulzberger must be held to account.

@KamalaHarrisWin

Tim Walz on Trump using the US military to go after 'the enemy from within.'

https://www.mediaite.com/politics/thats-you-tim-walz-sounds-the-alarm-on-trump-threatening-to-sic-the-military-on-the-enemy-from-within/

"He crossed a line that, I have to tell you, in my lifetime, I would have never imagined... Donald Trump... was talking about using the U.S. Army against people who disagree with him. Just so you’re clear about that, that’s you... This is not some mythical thing out there. He called it “the enemy within.” And to Donald Trump, anybody who doesn’t agree with him is the enemy."

@KamalaHarrisWin

You know, can't stop thinking about how batshit crazy this is. Biden had a few episodes of slow speech and confusion and the New York Times featured it on the front page for a solid month.

Trump goes out every night and spouts complete stark raving insanity and we get one nuanced euphemistic Peter Baker piece on it. And now nothing. That's it.

What a complete failure of journalism we are living through.

@KamalaHarrisWin

Trump is a raving lunatic!

"Couldn’t fill up the eight circles [Gesticulates in oddly circular motion.] Couldn’t fill up the eight circles. I always loved those circles. They were so beautiful to look at. In fact, the person who did that, that was the best thing about his...the level of that circle was great. But they couldn’t get people, so they used to have the press stand in those circles, because they couldn’t get the people. Then I heard we lost. Oh, we lost."

@KamalaHarrisWin

We wake up this morning to a candidate for president promising to use the US military on US soil against the 'enemy from within.' He is actually telling his supporters he is going to deploy the military against people who oppose him, and they are like; that's cool, always wanted to live in a military dictatorship.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/13/politics/trump-military-enemy-from-within-election-day/index.html

Now how messed up is that?

Focus on PA... We are winning!

1. PA is super critical this year. If Harris wins PA, she is in great shape to win it all.

2. Polls SEEM close, BUT GOP is manipulating the polls by commissioning dozens of "right wave" polls (Trump biased) to manipulate the averages (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/113290637399871214).

3. Latest NYT/Siena (also right leaning this year) has Harris up +4 (https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/harris-up-4-in-pa-bringing-the-joy).

4. Early vote has Dems up by almost 200K votes 291K to 103K (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/113290855206639851).

@KamalaHarrisWin

"Red Waving" in PA (cont.)

“Of last 15 general election polls released in PA, 12 have right/GOP affiliations. Their campaign to game the polling averages and make it appear like Trump is winning — when he isn’t — escalated in last few days."

"...red wave pollsters have flooded the zone again. MT, PA, NC were initial targets but now it’s all 7 battleground states."

2/3

@KamalaHarrisWin

"Red Waving" in PA? Listen to elections expert Simon Rosenberg:

https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/10/harris-vs-trump-analyst-tells-panicky-dems-gop-is-creating-fake-polls-desperate-unhinged-trumpian.html

"About a month ago, Rosenberg predicted that a slew of polls by Republican organizations would flood the zone, showing Trump leading — and, like clockwork, it has happened."

"The purpose is two-fold... To excite Trump’s base and discourage Vice President Kamala Harris’ supporters, while also providing Trump with ammunition to say the election was rigged if he loses."
