    Kamala Harris will be the first president in history with experience in all three branches of government—judicial, legislative, and executive. So to say this woman is “not qualified” or experienced to be president is solely based on racism and misogyny.

    The meme of the election is nauseously optimistic. I am there, for these reasons:
    1. Turnout. Ds have a great infrastructure & framework. Rs turned the effort over to Elon Musk after Trump used the RNC $ to pay for his lawyers. Musk has done for R turnout what he did for Twitter

    I had a similar experience in my teens. A very conservative deep in the church black lady put it this way:

    “If they can take away a woman’s right to choose what else can they take away?”

    The country may be catching on.

    @KellyScaletta
    You can tell what kind of President they would be by how they run their campaigns.

    Harris is running a perfect campaign since day one that includes everyone from Bernie Sanders to Liz Cheney and everyone in between.

    Trump outsourced his campaign to an idiot billionaire.

    That’s how they’re going to run the country.

    NEW — Another scoop and an interesting update on the Elon Musk’s voter turnout operation in Michigan.

    The entire group of Black, mostly out-of-state door knockers got fired with hours of the @WIRED U-Haul article dropping on Wednesday. New story includes:

    – One of the door knockers from Florida going on the record about her experience
    – A harrowing escape
    – The first on-the-record acknowledgement of the seatless vans from the subcontractor
    – Door knockers left stranded in Michigan & without pay, until… (read all the way to the end, trust me)

    If you have a 77 year old white guy at the top and you want a woman of color, you will have to have a person ready day one.

    Rice has 16 years in administration experience. Harris has 13 years executive experiences and 3.5 years senatorial experience.

    These sistas are READY. https://t.co/2YCzSMEKIl

    Both Florida republicans and Texas republicans have informed the DOJ that federal election monitors are barred from going inside their state polling places.

    Both states are on the verge on flipping to blue and they know it, so cheating is their first and last resort.

    Journalism is no longer predicated on doing actual reporting or explaining stuff to the populace, it’s just an echo chamber where GOP talking points are treated as gospel and any minor Democratic “gaffe” is turned into a three day scandal. I don’t make the rules.

    I believe this election will be very close. But I think people have not played out the scenario in which Harris wins by a landslide. In that situation, I think fears of mass civil unrest would likely end up seeming overstated because Trump would no longer be in the United States.
