So I don’t have a good caption or pivot, but MSNBC was talking about whether #KamalaHarris leans into identity as strategy, and I thought about these three old clips. Together, they show how she understands the main thing, old perceptions, and what identity politics really means. https://t.co/iS9wRYSJIA

Friday thoughts:
1. Republicans plan to steal the election, reprising and expanding attacks from 2000, 2016, 2018, and 2020.
2. These attacks depend on popular support and can be curbed with overwhelming numerical superiority.
3. Anticipating and publicizing the attacks and their exact makeup can help states better prepare.
4. Georgia and Fulton County are particular targets and should be blanketed with PR campaigns that let the public know what’s up.
5. The danger is that the election simply won’t be certified — even in places where Trump wins.
6. Biden is president, not Trump, and won’t be using the Pentagon to help steal the election. He also has very broad authority to intervene to force certification, if necessary.
7. Administrations in WI, PA, MI, AZ are Democratic and will not aid and abet an effort to steal the election.
8. If the Trump camp really thought RFK Jr would harm him more than Harris, they’d pull him. Do not celebrate RFK Jr’s presence on any ballot.
More than ever, this election outcome will be rooted in a psychological war for who people “feel” won. Do the work to ensure overwhelming numerical superiority that cannot be questioned. Onward!

Trump is broke.
He don’t pay his bills.
Nobody will let him rent their place without $$$$ upfront.
The Secret Service doesn’t want him doing anything outdoors. So, they want him to do indoor rallies.
And, those cost more $$$.
Yesterday’s ‘Press Conference’ was just a way for him to do a rally.

When I say that I am SO GLAD that Illinois is a decentralized system, voting-wise. Each county controls what happens as far as voting is concerned. And, that includes cancellations/voting purges. The thought that anyone outside of Cook County could think that they could purge the voter rolls of Cook County – is infuriating.
They made an attempt a few years ago to move to a more centralized system, and folks were like, ‘ nah, we good. ‘
