It also helps that the so-called Red Wave of 2022 fizzled out thanks to younger voters. I'm not a fan but I do love that about her and I hope she keeps it up. I hope her fans actually follow through with voting too, that would really chap Trump's ass. Lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 1 hour ago, Blackrose321 said: The right also tends to skew older and we know young voters are a large, and largely useless demographic. They'll post progressive diatribes on Twatter but they won't show up when they're really needed. Then they'll go back on Twatter and post more useless bullshit. About half of them voted in 2020 which was an 11 point increase but goddamn did shit have to get dystopian first for them to bother. Hopefully that number remains high this year. the problem with young voters is that it's literally a new crop of voters every election cycle, last cycle's young voters aren't this cycle's young voters. so the lesson needs to be taught every single go around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I'm not sure how you do that. Given the prevalence of social media, and how much of it revolves around politics, I would think that young people are aware but it doesn't translate into votes. But I haven't done any deep dives into why that is and how to increase real engagement. ETA: I think the age group is usually defined as 18-24 so someone who was 18-20 in 2020 would be 22-24 in the next election. So there's some amount of overlap but I'm sure there are differences there that aren't reflected when you group 18 and 24 together. But I haven't checked for those numbers.

Essentially, if you keep repeating something over and over again, and utterly refuse to acknowledge anything that says otherwise, it will become true, at least to the public viewpoint. Or to paraphrase another author - The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd maybe say before any of that, we could start with having a system that isn't full of clowns. Prolly a lot easier to engage new voters if they're not going into it having, for all their lives, seen nothing but buffoonery and incompetence. We got a whole generation coming into this voting block having just witnessed the government trying to ban TikTok, for example..... Or maybe some of that onus can be placed on the media outlets that thrive on the worst of humanity, wallowing in the outrageous while our successes quietly wither in silence. Idk. Just. Getting folks involved in the system feels like a complete mixed bag at best if their perception of the system is that it's completely out of touch with reality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd reply that the wholesale changes (short of burning it all down) can only happen from the bottom up. There are obvious limitations but I think that'd be the best way to start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Quote Vice President Kamala Harris raised $47 million in the first 24 hours following her debate with former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night, a sum that will likely expand a widening funding gap between the two campaigns. That tally, shared by the Harris campaign with The New York Times, included donations from 600,000 people. It is her largest 24-hour fund-raising period since an initial burst of donations when she entered the race in July and raised $81 million on the first day. Ms. Harris already had a significant financial edge over Mr. Trump entering September. Her operation said it had $404 million cash on hand, while Mr. Trump had $295 million. Ms. Harris’s campaign nearly tripled the Trump fund-raising in August. Presidential debates often become fund-raising bonanzas because of their audience: 67 million people watched Tuesday’s contest live, not including likely millions more watching on a variety of websites and streaming platforms. And Ms. Harris was widely seen as commanding the performance, with the rush of donations evidence of Democratic enthusiasm. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/12/us/politics/harris-debate-donations.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loomer initially reposted one of Jackson’s last posts; a July 20 comment criticizing the former president. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), a progressive voice in Congress who fought for civil and women’s rights, died Friday evening at 74, shortly after she announced she was battling pancreatic cancer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 wtf is even happening with Trump supporters? They insist Trump won the debate but then they say the moderators were biased. They insist that he won yet claim she knew the answers before the debate started. Now it’s she had special earrings to receive answers? I mean really, wtf? Why all the excuses if they’re so secure in the fact that he won? If people were cheating for Harris, then how do they explain away the dumb shit he said all on his own? I don’t understand this alternate reality some people are living in. They still insist that she’s the dumb one yet Trump’s vocabulary doesn’t go above the 5th grade.
