Ok, I have been as skeptical as anyone of the tack center strategy from Harris, but this video completely changed my perspective. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfB-...

Not to mention that learning how to cope with being less than perfect is an important life skill. Motivation isn't about doing what comes easy, but persisting in the face of challenge. That's how we grow, develop expertise, and become better problem solvers.

Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

This is an extremely common belief. For many of these voters it is their one-issue motivator. They absolutely think they don’t count as deportable. They’ve been treated as an acceptable white and so they think that status is permanent and not arbitrary based on how many other immigrants are left.

This is where the Haitian immigrants story is a real tell--those folks are here legally but Trump and Vance targeted them anyway. Any mass deportation is going to sweep up a lot of citizens, but with Trump's team, they don't care about rights or due process, so good luck getting back to the US.This is where the Haitian immigrants story is a real tell--those folks are here legally but Trump and Vance targeted them anyway.

Such a cliché to say we spend too much talking about who's up and who's down, not enough about what the candidates are actually proposing But we really do Here's the latest, very important case in point (1/x) www.huffpost.com/entry/kamala...

Kamala Harris Just Rolled Out One Of The Biggest Proposals Of Her Campaign. Why Haven't You Heard More About It?

The reaction she's gotten shows just how big a need Harris is trying to address.

"Can I tell yGu a secret? I don't care if there are undocumented immigrants in this country. I think it's a non-issue. Without social security numbers they're not getting the welfare people claim they're getting, the vast majority of them are normal people trying to live a better life.

This whole wall deport-the-illegals bullshit is just the one percent convincing the working poor to blame a subset of the working poor for the fact that they're all poor, instead of realizing they're all poor
due to vast income inequality and resource price inflation in combination with wage stagnation.

The existence of another poor person is not why you're poor. It's because the people who control everything refuse\ to increase your wages.''

Look I never play this card but I studied German politics and the rise of fascism and this IS THAT. We have arrived at the end game. Not hyperbole or exaggeration this is THE EXACT LANGUAGE. Anyone who has studied this recognizes it like a meteorologist seeing a gathering hurricane

If voters don't trust Harris on the economy, they may be speaking from frustration that Biden didn't achieve all he promised with Build Back Better. Which creates openings for conversations about who's really to blame. Take a recent conversation I had with an Uber driver. 🧵 1/
