I’m not on TikTok and don’t use Reddit but my 20 something son and son in law both are and they say her campaign has figured out both mediums and is crushing him. If the 18-30 year olds turn out like 08 or 2020 she will win.
Turnouts for that age group
08-51%
12-45%
16-44%
20-55%
Looking at 22 midterms saw the highest level of young voters in decades for midterms. Women not surprisingly outvoted males and blacks and Latinos trailed white voters.
Now in 24 you have a presidential election. A woman candidate. A woman of black and Indian heritage.
And you have a campaign that knows how to use instagram and more importantly TikTok and Reddit (do not discount Reddits reach w young people especially 18-30 yo males).
And if Taylor decides to weigh in…
She got me right here with this one minute and 10 seconds of speech.
Yea, I know, she is a politiclan so she could be lying. But, even in that case, it is on her mind enough to feel she needs to lie about it. And that is far better than the other side who is 100% sold on division, party, and considering the Americans who simply have different political beliefs as the real enemy.
And, sure, she is going to come out with some policies that I don't like. So what? Policies come and go like presidents. But, the palpable tension amongst people is the real concern. Just how divided do we want to get?
"You can always trust me to put country above party and self." Boom.

Vice President Kamala Harris this week rolled out her most detailed, far-ranging proposal yet: nearly $5 trillion in tax increases over a decade. No one making less than $400,000 a year would see their taxes go up under the plan. Instead, Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. Here’s what to know.

Redefining the party but not in a way to benefit only herself.
More than 200 Bush, McCain, Romney alums endorse Harris for president, criticize Trump
WASHINGTON — More than 200 Republicans who previously worked for either former President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., or Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in an open letter Monday obtained exclusively by USA TODAY.
The letter from alums of the three Republican presidential nominees prior to former President Donald Trump comes on the heels of a Democratic National Convention last week in Chicago that showcased Republican detractors of the GOP nominee. At least five former aides to former President George H.W. Bush also signed the letter, which has 238 signatures in all.
A similar group of about 150 anti-Trump former staffers of Bush, McCain and Romney pledged support for President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
"We reunite today, joined by new George H.W. Bush alumni, to reinforce our 2020 statements and, for the first time, jointly declare that we’re voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz this November," the letter reads. "Of course, we have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz. That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable."
(Read the letter here.)
Among those who signed the letter in support of Harris and her running-mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, include: former McCain chiefs of staff Mark Salter and Chris Koch; Joe Donoghue, former legislative director for McCain; Jennifer Lux, press secretary for McCain's 2008 campaign, and Jean Becker, longtime chief of staff for George H.W. Bush.
Also backing Harris are David Nierenberg, Romney's 2012 campaign finance chair; David Garman, under secretary of Energy for George W. Bush; and Olivia Troye, a former advisor to both George W. Bush and Vice President Mike Pence. Troye spoke from the stage of the DNC convention last week.
"At home, another four years of Donald Trump’s chaotic leadership, this time focused on advancing the dangerous goals of Project 2025, will hurt real, everyday people and weaken our sacred institutions," the letter says, referring to the Heritage Foundation's policy blueprint that the Trump campaign has sought to distance itself from.
"Abroad, democratic movements will be irreparably jeopardized as Trump and his acolyte JD Vance kowtow to dictators like Vladimir Putin while turning their backs on our allies. We can’t let that happen."
The animosity between the camps of McCain, Romney, and Bush and Trump is well-documented.
Romney, who voted to impeach Trump as a senator, said he won't support Trump in the 2024 election, but he hasn't endorsed Harris either. Bush, whose family has long been at odds with Trump, did not attend last month's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, though has refrained form criticizing Trump publicly. As a candidate in 2015, Trump said McCain was "not a war hero." Four years ago, McCain's widow, Cindy McCain, endorsed Biden over Trump.
Others who signed the letters include: Reed Galen, McCain's deputy campaign manager and co-founder of the Lincoln Project; Jim Swift, a former Republican operative who is now senior editor of The Bulwark, an anti-Trump news and opinion site; and former McCain campaign strategist Mike Murphy.
Citing 2020 exit polling and other voter data, the group claims it was "moderate Republicans and conservative independents in key swing states" who were pivotal in Biden's victory that ultimately delivered the presidency Biden − Americans who "put country far before party," they write in the letter.
The group called on more moderate Republicans and independents to "take a brave stand once more" and support Harris over Trump in the fall.
The Harris campaign has worked to highlight its backing from Republicans who oppose Trump, launching a "Republicans for Harris" group this month and featuring Republican speakers at last week's convention.
Republicans who addressed the convention included former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who served on the House panel that investigated Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election; former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grishaml former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, Mesa, Ariz. Mayor John Giles; and Troye, who worked as a homeland security and counterterrorism adviser to Pence. Pence has said he won't endorse Trump for president.
Over the weekend, a dozen prominent Republican attorneys who worked for former President Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush endorsed Harris for president. The group included conservative former federal appellate Judge Michael Luttig, who plans to vote for a Democratic president for the first time.
Right.
Normal people think, "Hmm, experienced people switching sides for the good of the country. Really concerning voting for this candidate."
MAGAs think, "RINOs, good riddance!"

For what isn't normal, it's the Republican Party. Flashpoint's co-host, Todd Lamb, said the party isn't conservative. Instead, it's populist as indicated at the Republican convention. The appearance of Hulk Hogan at the convention offended him so much that he couldn't watch the last night of it. He stopped short of endorsing Harris. It's probably too much to expect that the majority of Republicans in Oklahoma have a similar viewpoint.

Harris campaign slams Trump agenda as a 'deficit bomb,' seeking to flip the script on fiscal responsibility
So far, Harris has proposed about $2 trillion in new spending and $5 trillion in tax revenues. Trump has backed about $5 trillion in tax breaks and spending, without paying for all of it.

This is a strange election. Instead of parties, it's honestly turned into Democracy vs Idiocracy...
