this time the SC is on their side

Not to dismiss how insane the current court is, but the US supreme court was also on enslaver's side before the civil war. They were famous for making the terrible dred scott ruling

It's based on the quote he said where he said he "created stories"

"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” said Vance, a U.S. Senator representing Ohio

"Rejected"

Agenda 47 (styled by the Trump campaign as Agenda47) is the manifesto of the Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump,

[...]

In 2023, Trump campaign officials acknowledged the Project 2025 aligned well with Agenda 47

[...]

Agenda 47 and Project 2025 share many themes and policies, including expanding presidential power such as through reissuing Schedule F,[15]: min.00:14 [16] cuts to the Department of Education, mass deportations of illegal immigrants,[17] the death penalty for drug dealers, and using the US National Guard in liberal cities with high crime rates or those that are "disorderly".[18][19][20]

I want to know how someone figured this out. Were they accidentally playing it at the same time or just noticed something was rhythmic and then tried different songs?

Tells you how they value conformity above all else

Your number will almost certainly be given to a variety of republican campaigns and see spam from many different numbers. Good luck blocking all of them

Realistically, it most likely signs you up for a deluge of spam texts about donations and the like to trump

"Concepts of a plan" is probably the best quote imo

There already sort of is one in the US for candidates who exceed a certain threshold of the vote. It comes with spending limits that could be exceeded by a lot by raising money outside it, so parties stopped taking it. Plus tax payers have to opt into doing it, and the rates of people doing so have dropped over time

If you've ever filed US income taxes and seen the question

"Do you want $3 of your federal tax to go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund"

That's what it's referring to

I think you forgot a zero there or added an extra one to the dollar amount. 47 million / 600 thousand = $78.3333 per person

Average is much more reasonable

* the biggest reason being that the Supreme Court overturned a prior law to stop super pacs from having unlimited spending in Citizen United. Sure, maybe Congress could pass the same law again only for the court to overturn it 6-3

You have to fix the Supreme Court for that. It'd be difficult to regulate spending in primaries either because money is "free speech" according to them

Before someone else mentions it:

Yes it would be better to not have a system that needs so much money, but until citizens united is overturned it unfortunately still matter. Plus there being more small donors is good news since it helps campaigns be less reliant on big money

No more presidential debates, but there's still the VP debate unless JD Vance backs out (which he might)

Couldn't even commit to the "concepts of a plan" for a second debate

Let's extend that. Vote, get active, get involved

Find how to register to vote for where you are

Find opportunities to volunteer around you

Let's make sure it is. Vote, get active, get involved

Find how to register to vote for where you are

Find opportunities to volunteer around you

I'm sure their "concepts of a plan" had it really all thought out

*Trump said he had a "concept of a plan" for replacing Obama care (i.e he has no plan)

For the lazy

Not mentioned in the article, but Trafalgar, who is notorious for heavily skewing republican is also saying voters think Harris won the debate by a large margin

I should have checked further, oops, I changed the title

They are actually stating that back up again

https://www.npr.org/2024/08/22/nx-s1-5084219/the-satirical-newspaper-the-onion-is-back-in-print-really

Not OP, but just made a version of this post that doesn't give any traffic to elon musk

https://lemmy.ml/post/20191243

I'd be inclined to agree. "They're eating the dogs" is also a good contender to anyone not into misinformation and racism

We can make it matter. Vote, get active, and get involved

Find how to register to vote for where you are

Find opportunities to volunteer around you

Volunteering for campaigns can help lead to no joke increases in voter turnout, so don't underestimate it!

During the debate, he doubled down on his full page ad calling for the execution of the central park five. Despite everything since then that's come out strongly showing they were innocent

Not OP, but

Former President Trump told "Fox and Friends" Wednesday morning that he is "less inclined" to participate in another debate against Vice President Kamala Harris before the election

More so helps motivate people to vote who otherwise migh not have done so

It's why we must always fight these battles rather than just giving in to doom. Battles that seem hopeless can sometimes surprise you

I want to know what media you were watching that didn't highten every biden stutter when that man has had a stutter his entire life

The article talks about how the term has only really started to take off in a big way in the last week or so. (Though the term itself is a fair amount older)

when they should all just be getting paid a living wage by their employer

The call to end to the minimum wage exception for tipped employees (+ calling for increases in minimum wage) are specifically trying to get more towards a living wage for them?

Dems right now are just pushing for a clean CR that continues funding without any other conditions attached to it

Fair enough, but worth mentioning that canvassing is not the only effective way to volunteer. There's also text banking, phone banking, and post card writing for instance (can find those places on the earlier linked site)

My point is less that it should come down to that, and more that any smaller gain can matter if things do

If you want to do something that it well known to increase turnout more significantly, I highly recommend volunteering for the campaign. Canavassing, for instance, can increase turnout by upwards of ~7-10% (or more or slightly less depending on the data you look at)

Here's one site with both in person and virtual places listed

If nothing else, it can help turn the anxiety down a bit by taking action

Alternatively, it could also provide small margins in additional states to make trickier harder. For instance a small with in north carolina and georgia would make republican plots against the elctions results more difficult

Even if it's small, that still can matter in some elctions. Small changes in tight states can make a difference. Mind you in 2000, the presidental election came down to just 537 votes in florida

Elections can be and often are won on the margins

Edit: or also provide more state wins to make republicans trying to overide state results much more difficult

Some Dems in congress have tried to propose bills that die exactly that in the past and had it get shot down by republicans

Edit: worth noting at the state level that some dem controled states have started actually doing that such as California and New York

Definitely a real possibility, but tight in the senate

The senate is likely to come down to: can Dems either maintain John Tester in Montana or flip Florida or Texas

There's also the funky possibility that Dan Osborn wins as an independent in Nebraska and overturns a deep red seat. Limited polls put him neck and neck. There's no dem in that race and Osborn has distanced himself from all parties. He said he'd likely try not to caucus with anyone, but if it didn't work out he'd caucus with whoever aligns better with his goals. He's very pro-union (he lead Kellog's strike in 2021), pro-right to repair, pro-legal weed, against corporate ballouts, against a national abortion ban, but appears a bit more conservative on immigration, so make of that what you will
