Thought experiment: if Big Oil was to do exactly what RT was doing with influencers, would it be illegal? Could it be stopped??
I’m STILL not resting easy, as much as Stupid Hitler keeps sabotaging himself…
The Harris people are making a classic crypto speculation mistake: “Our numbers were going up; surely they will continue that way, right?” In crypto, this fallacy is referred to as “number go up”.
The result of the poll drop is:
-
nothing on the table in terms of better job security (they need to offer a corporate tax RATE amnesty for those promising 90% employee retention for the next 2 years and/or accredited training/education; if they do that, it will rebut corporate media on not preserving a no-strings-attached low tax rate -with accredited training, you are giving an incentive to improve the quality of their workers, while at the same time giving an incentive of improved job stability to workers who vote…)
-
not even TRYING to check Netanyahoo (arms pause if NO ceasefire is put into action…), to stop WWIII; and
-
not having clear engagement rules for Ukraine; they need to say: no use of weapons against Moscow or Petersburg so long as Russia respects Kyiv and Odessa not getting bombed/struck with missiles -that puts it back on Putin; instead, their lack of near-term policy is leaving it unsettling for voters.
Sitting around and putting nothing on the table, hoping Trump will self-sabotage just enough to lose is not a strategy to win when you are the incumbent. All three points above need to be put out there right away, to help with downballot races -or else, even if Harris wins, we will be stuck with another four years of a logjammed Congress!
Stop being stubborn; address the three points I state here IMMEDIATELY; there is almost no time left to get new policy points out. Making observations on his insanity will NOT get you elected. ALMOST EVERYBODY knows that fact by now, stating the obvious will NOT help.
Hillary ran a “vote for me because Trump is terrible” campaign in 2016 -how did that work out for her? At THIS VERY MOMENT, you must put those positives on the table; there is NO TIME LEFT!
[Sorry to go caps-lock on you guys, but this is really the deciding moment of this election…]
People are coming around to the mature recognition that Walz is not the president, that he won’t be calling the shots (Open Convention, anyone?) So now they are assessing her potential merits based on PERSONAL SELF INTEREST.
-
What will be my job security under a Harris administration?
-
Will we be in WWIII with the present policy (Israel/Iran…)
-
Will we be in WWIII with the present policy (not stating any lines back against Putin, enforcing a mutual understanding under what circumstances we will NOT escalate…)
These are the three points you need to offer solutions on, as suggested above… (link)
Harris: “But he’s lying to you!”
DER-HEY! People will sooner cling to the hope of a lie for their self-interest than offering them the incumbent status quo which is unpleasant for many voters. That is the lesson of 2016 and 1930s Germany.
“Oh, if they think it’s bad now, just wait until Trump gets back in!”
People are in denial; what can I say?? To wake them out of that denial, you will have to offer things I stated above and CAN be delivered by you.
-
You can state a change in your position on the corporate tax rate, offering a conditional amnesty from its getting increased if employers deliver on offering something to workers/employees for it -see post above.)
-
You can make it clear that offensive arms will be paused until some form of ceasefire is delivered -never mind if the NUTanyahoo faction will agree to it. Just stating that will have voters going: “wooh; she WON’T stand idly by while Netanyahoo gets to start WWIII”
-
You can make it clear the US arms in Ukraine are NOT to be used against Moscow or St.Petersburg so long as Putin knocks off missile/bomb/drone attacks on Kyiv and Odessa.
Don’t shrug your shoulders and tell us you can’t do these things. Even if Biden were not to cooperate with you and do the foreign policy changes needed, you can STATE you part ways on those specific issues…

Things are awfully quiet on the board here; I think most are resigned and know how this is going to play out, given the lessons not learned by the DNC from 2016…
To explain it more to the DNC Cult: they thiink, “who’s going to want all that chaos that he invites?” Answer: many pro-Trumpers think: “Maybe in all that chaos, I will be among the lucky minority who will come out ahead”. It’s a diminished expectations lottery ticket mentality.
Yeah; that’s not sound reasoning; but it’s what’s in play among many voters. You have to put an inducement to vote on the table (such as tying job security to the corporate tax rate and showing you won’t stand by while the world slips off into WWIII with policies such as I had suggested above…)
But I guess it’s too late now…
Has there been any historical precedent of polls shifting in the last two weeks? I know this is going to be really really close but don’t just want to give up hope yet.
She said she wouldn’t do anything different from Biden on The View. It was looking that way, but that’s when she verbally confirmed it. THAT’s when she lost the election.
They can play and replay that clip after the loss. She HAD to say that the honeymoon would be over for Netanyahoo; that there would be a clearer direction for Ukraine; that there was going to be an improved job situation through corporate tax policy.
I am seeing that the Treasury and Fed believe that systemic unemployment will be a fact of life; that it’s required to fight inflation and that American workers will have to accept becoming coolies. Not putting anything on the table before Election Day has spelled out their losing…
The thing that is messed up about The View statement is that it’s nearly impossible to walk back now. I will remind everyone again: she HAD TO have been told not to say something like that. Either she is incompetent and can’t follow instructions, or she’s insane to think an incumbency message will win in this race. The talking points of this election are: what tangible things will I do to improve your economic stability, and how will I not let Netanyahoo and Putin drag us off into WWIII (which, if you think about it, also becomes a personal economic welfare point…)
A lot of the Left is dodging discussion of the horrendous View remarks, believing it’s too late to walk back so damn the torpedoes now. Kudos to TYT on their honest reporting…
What did I say? It’s a lottery ticket mentality. The Harris ticket needed to counter with a more impactful policy of jobs retention and/or accredited training, leveraging off the corporate tax rate. Too late now though…
Isn’t it illegal to buy votes? Didn’t people get in trouble for having the audacity to pass out water to people waiting to vote once? How can they get away with this? (Yeah, I realize that’s a dumb question.)

What are your thoughts on David Shuster’s video on TYT saying that Kamala will win big and the polls are corrupted due to various right leaning polls swaying the averages?
I am not sure whether to believe the polls or not? Do you think there is any hope for Kamala to win?
It’s not for voting; it’s for registering to vote. It’s a real walking of the line on the legal definition,

The polls are skewed a little, but not by THAT much! I see a lot of Left outlets in a hype push right now to convince viewers that it’s hopeless for Trump; it looks desperate to me.
She and/or her advisors were really stubborn about offering further inducements (what she would do to not have us involved in WWIII, what she would do for better job security through retention and accredited training, using the corporate tax rate as leverage to accoimplish that…)
Some people say placating mistaken Jewish interests to enable Zionism is a difficult issue; how about the issue of starting WWIII? (Iran, Russia -and I am by no means saying placate Putin, but we need a clear roadmap on what we are going to do; I say throw down a line on protecting Kyiv and Odessa if Putin expects Moscow and St.Petersburg to remain unscathed by Western weapons…) Everyone knows your job stability will suck with a World War in play.
In the end, voting is all about self-interest. Trump is pushing a chaos lottery ticket (not just the Musk actual one…), and Harris has put nothing new on the table -the incumbency message…

I’m really looking forward to this election being over; because either we will be able to do nothing about NUTanyahoo egging on WWIII if Trump gets elected, or we can start applying a HELL of a lot of pressure on the Dems to pause offensive weapon aid as long as NO ceasefire is agreed to.
NUT knows that, and will be on a tear until Election Day.
If NUT needs an economic bailout for his disastrous policies, he should get it from the Saudis. <joke>They can cut back on some of that Kushner pay…</joke>

Not enabling Netan-the-yahoo to start WWIII IS a matter that has an impact on most voters. Biden not requiring ANY ceasefire (in exchange for no pause on offensive weapons) to TRY and deal with it is catastrophic. Not having a clear policy on Ukraine to rebut Putin’s redlines is quite the blunder.
Let’s see how Harris’ embrace of neocon policies works out on Election Day. “I wouldn’t do much of anything different…” -ugh!
And now Trump is saying no income tax -I know, I know; low income people will then end up paying lots on sales taxes. But the Dems are completely missing the lottery-ticket mentality of people considering Trump: “Hey, maybe in all this chaos, I’ll come out a winner!” Too late now to announce a more realistic offer-in-compromise of a corporate tax rate increase amnesty in exchange for accredited employee training and/or employee retention for 2 years. What did they offer? Reduced tax rates for the working class. That’s a consolation prize intended to impress just Bush Repubs. Let’s see: the number of working class voters versus the number of former Bush Repub voters; gee, which one should we go for??
Instead the Dems are now down to the 2016 argument that “Trump’s bad” and celebrity floorshows.
To be fair, they also have the abortion argument; but that’s become game set and match with the enabling-Nutanyahoo-will-inevitably-lead-to-WWIII argument. Having a WWII matters equally to both genders of most voters. Sure, MAGAs have an infantile notion Stupid Hitler can stop a WWIII in 24 hours. But Harris is not putting on the table any substantive course of action that shows she will tone down the conflict. No one of course can say what effect an offensive arms aid pause if not a single ceasefire is enacted will have on Israel; but I know what NOT doing it will have on the Election here!
It’s quite frustrating given that if anything the Repubs will enable the yahoo faction in Israel much more; but they are able to keep their position on the down-low as long as Biden (and evidently Harris…) will do just the same…
