2024 Elections: One Last Chance for Democracy

What the f*ck is the purpose of suspending his campaign rather than dropping out? Who does he think he is, Ross Perot?

Financials. Ending the campaign means the accounting books have to be balanced out to zero then closed.

Suspending keeps the books open, no matter how bad they're bleeding.

Minnesota is not a real state, certainly not when compared to modern paradises like Kentucky: https://www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/C_BFMjfgKRM

Having lived in both, I love both. It’s obvious Minnesota dominates in every standard of living.
Comer is an idiot. My best friend knows him personally. Calls him a “c*nt.” Said when she sees him again, she was going to ask him how “Donald’s d*ck tastes.” One of those extremely liberal people living amongst the trolls, like Comer, that Kep speaks of.

This Seems Like Good News

Vice President Kamala Harris' economic policy agenda — announced at a campaign rally last week — is largely popular among Americans, new polling finds. The platform is focused on policies aimed at cutting Americans' living costs, primarily for housing, health care, and food. Many Harris proposals are bipartisan, receiving support from majorities of both Democrats and Republicans.
In a poll conducted just after Harris announced her economic agenda, we found that each of the 17 policies asked about is strongly or somewhat supported by at least half of Americans. The largest share to oppose any policy is just 27%.

The most popular components of the platform concern health care — more specifically, drug costs. These include plans to increase the number of drugs eligible for Medicare price negotiations (82% support), cap the monthly cost of insulin at $35 (78%), and cap out-of-pocket annual expenses for prescription drugs at $2,000 (72%).

Harris' proposal to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit for lower-wage workers is supported by 73% of Americans. Restoring the pandemic-era child tax credit of $3,600 per child is supported by a smaller majority — 59% — as is her idea to provide a $6,000 child tax credit to families with babies under one year.

Housing policies included in Harris' agenda are also popular — although somewhat less so than her ideas around health care. 63% are in favor of expanding a tax credit for housing developers building affordable rental units, and 62% favor preventing landlords from using algorithmic price-setting tools.

Between 53% and 59% support removing tax benefits for investors who buy single-family rental homes in bulk, increasing federal investment toward local efforts to address housing shortages, providing a tax credit for developers building homes sold to first-time homebuyers, providing $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time home buyers, and directing the federal government to work with industry to build 3 million new homes in the next four years.

Perhaps the most ambiguous proposal included in Harris' agenda is related to food costs. In her speech announcing it, she proposed "the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food," a plan that observers have interpreted in a variety of ways. Our survey asked about "capping increases on food and grocery prices," which we find is supported by 65% of Americans.

Why does it feel like MAGA wants to replace Vance with RFK?

Because they want an even weirder dude with terrible tweets about Trump? Also a guy Trump destroyed on Truth Social 3 months ago?

It is Day 2 of the Minnesota State Fair and the MN DFL booth has had a record number of visitors. Several items sold out on the first day of the fair: - LFG T-shirts
- several other T-shirts with fun sayings on them
- Camouflage Harris and Walz hats (ran out by 11 am on Day 1 of the fair!)
- Harris and Walz buttons (they ordered enough for the full 2 weeks of the fair and ran out on Day 1)

If this is a sign of things to come, I am thrilled! LFG!
