Harris to begin 'more aggressive' post-debate campaigning stage, campaign says
It's really nice to see a Democratic campaign actually play to win.
Holy shit, right? I genuinely have not been this optimistic about a presidential election since 2008. Don’t get me wrong - shit could still go sideways. But Harris at this point is absolutely SLAYING, and is mostly saying the right things on the right topics, and furthermore is CLEARLY on top of her game, and fully understands the stakes.
It's a fait accompli.
Time to start planning for another business-friendly Democrat administration. It probably won't have majorities in both houses, but it wouldn't matter much even if they did manage to pull that off. Bipartisanship is the name of the Democrat game, and the next question is whether the Republican remnant will play ball or fall into infighting after whatever bloody nonsense their nutjobs get up to this time.
i really really hope that the kamala campaign is the start of a new left, much like the trump campaign was the beginning of a new right. If we continue moving this way, i forsee good things in our future.
"The Harris campaign released a new schedule that shows she will be appearing in the same city at the same time as every scheduled Trump rally. The campaign has employed official 'crowd counters,' who will be monitoring both the attendance and crowd retention for every rally. The Harris Campaign will then post live updates on crowd size and early exits on its new account on Truth Social."

Fuck you. I was hoping for Dark Kamala!
You simultaneously made my day and ruined it. What a roller coaster of emotions. thank you
That's going throw Donald into an incandescent rage. Incredible.
How much money is he going to throw at hiring actors to pad out his rally and retention numbers when it won't make any difference in anyone's voting decision in the end?
Alternatively, how many votes is he going to inadvertently throw away after stiffing actors hired to pad out his rally and retention numbers, when statistically some of them will already be supporters, possibly even planning on going to the rally for free but getting excited about the idea to get paid to do what they were going to do anyways but might see him differently after he fucks them directly?
Is this quote in the article?
I really, really wish it was.
What she really needs to do is start pushing some of the truths of P2025 and how they'll impact people who may lean right. Specifically hit labor groups and how it would ban Unions.
And it should also hit how much the orange turd hates the military with a big push about the Arlington fiasco, his VA cuts and what he's said specifically. Push that hard.
I'm ok with that, and I'd like her to actually define her positions better within the framework of definitions regular people use, not redefining of terms by lawyers and politicians.
It really is wild to think about it. Kamala has only been the candidate for a bit under two months at this point. And so much of that was spent politely waiting for the DNC and housekeeping like picking a VP.
This wasn’t the aggressive campaigning?
No, it was joyful
this makes sense to me, the way the debate went, im starting to think she prepared a handful of different routes, and just felt out the waters on this one, i really really hope trump does another debate, because if we see kamala go even more aggressively on the next debate, i'm gonna be so fucking happy.
I really don't think Kamala hurt trump at the debate, trump committed an hero.
the beatings shall continue until morale improves
Why you are you getting downvoted? Do people think this a joke about Kamala being rude to her staff, which is apparently a bullshit accusation?
I thought it was a joke about beating Trump in the debate and continuing to beat him up, more aggressively now, on the trail, while the morale of the country improves, because we love to see it.
I would be so happy if I could see someone beat Trump every day. Might even grab some pom poms and cheer it on.
Do people think this a joke about Kamala being rude to her staff, which is apparently a bullshit accusation?
the obvious implication is that that we're beating the shit out of trumpers, and trump himself until public morale increases. The less obvious implication is that beating is actually just metaphorical to the campaign thats going on, and morale improving is winning the election.
The even less obvious implication is that this is a jab on the abuse thing for kamala, which idk anything about so don't ask me lol.
Boogerbear wasnt such a booger i guess
Misinformation bot thinks ABC news is left center lmao.
Sadly the only reason its here is because lemmy.world admins are being paid by mbfc :(
Harris is set to hold two rallies in North Carolina and one in Pennsylvania as part of the kickoff for her "New Way Forward Tour," which her campaign said is an effort to "capitalize on her decisive victory" against former President Donald Trump at the ABC News debate earlier this week.
what new way forward? is she going to suddenly come out strong on anything with a plan forward?
she said nothing in the debates about anything that affects the US citizens on a day-to-day basis and neither did Trump
no matter who wins there will be more police funding, less healthcare, no women's rights, no healthcare reform, nothing to help the environment, more genocide, more antiimmigration, more world policing, stagnant pay, and lots of molasses
what does Harris bring to the table besides being more mentally fit and yes younger but still too old to relate to the populace just like Trump
She talked about housing costs and child tax credits. They both brought up jobs and inflation. Economic issues that affect US citizens on a day to day basis. Critique the details all you want but that is not "nothing".
what does Harris bring to the table besides being more mentally fit and yes younger
Hey you kind of admitted that she's an improvement over Trump finally! We've got the banana endorsement people!
She's promising molasses? Shoot, sign me up.
What are you even talking about? She explicitly addressed healthcare, women's rights, and economic relief in the fucking debate, not to mention she has actual platform and policy on all the other topics you mentioned. Like, she has positions and lack of positions I strongly disagree with but stupid revisionist shit like this is such blatant misinformation, it's distressing to think thus is what "informs" so many voters' opinions.
did you watch the debate? Her response to abortion was crystal clear. Suggesting it doesn't affect people is insane.
And your framing is exactly what JD Vance attempted, basically: I didn't see a plan from Harris and plans don't put food on the table. Which is onion-esque levels of trying to have it both ways.
I understand the problem with her capitulating to the (lets not call it the republican framing as the whole media has done little to challenge it) media framing on gaza and immigration. Its discredits democrats that they don't challenge the framing at all and at least bring up DACA.
What a Harris win would buy us is time to reframe these narratives and attempt solutions and could possibly push the court closer to an overturn of citizens united. No single election is going to solve the myriad problems we face.
Its also clear Trump, if he wins, will run the country as a figurehead for fascism while his remaining advisors run things - most involved in heritage foundation's project 2025 - which will at best face resistance, and at worst reshape america into more of a pay to play hellhole than it already is, while putting a number of minority groups in a vice
Bro there's still no other option but to vote for her. The alternative is literally to set the country on actual fire.
Two party system fuckin sucks and yes it needs to be changed, but when the literal end of democracy is the alternative, there's no other choice.
i guess it's time for you to start planning your own fight then, huh? i mean it looks like there's no political party that you can side with, so i guess that means it's all up to you. i think you can still find copies of the anarchist's cookbook online. what are you doing wasting your time here?
Not too old. Too benefiting from the corruption to do anything about the corruption. Otherwise, I agree with your assessment.
By aggressive she means lurching further to the right.
Try not to act surprised when you do nothing to elect leftist candidates locally and at the state level next year. Or any leftist candidates to the legislature at mid terms. And then in 4 years try not to act surprised that the POTUS candidates appeal to neoliberal, centrist and conservatives who have proven to engage with politics for decades and thus being an safe strategy to the white house.
Pouting about it won't endear people to your cause.
Try not to act surprised when you do nothing to elect leftist candidates locally and at the state level next year.
The party protects anti-choice NRA stooge candidates like Cuellar, but refuses to protect incumbent progressives like Bowman and Bush.
So by your own admission, you acknowledge that your entire party is neoliberal, centrist and conservative. They have become the dominant right-wing conservative party
You can't go straight for the presidency with your ideals. You have to shift opinion from the bottom up. Meanwhile, we participate in a game of tug-of-war at the top levels.
by aggressive she means lurching harder into anti-trump rhetoric and personal attacks* FTFY
