I approve of this new Democrat tactic of taking off the ridiculous kid gloves and telling the truth.
The Republicans have no policy platform to run on, just Trump's "personality". It's long past time to just tell the truth about who he is, again and again and again. The ad yesterday in his own words with "I endorse this" is perfect. The best thing about using his own words against him is that he never fucking shuts up.

They’re involved in a fist fight. They need to forget Queensbury Rules
While the “Democracy in Peril” stuff is true, it doesn’t cut through to the average person. Thankfully they’re going with the simpler “This old bloke is a lying, cheating, rapey fraudster. America can do better” line

Trump is a bit of an open goal for PR and Marketeers - so much stuff to use. I think the letter is a great way of getting the ball rolling with some choice easily digestible phrases. I always felt Dems were too polite for their own good, especially up against Trump. Hopefully, we will see more stuff like this and The Lincoln Project doing some of their own cutting commentary.

If they have a debate, Harris should just keep coming up with weird shit he's said and asking him what he was on about. So, you said that Hannibal Lecter is a real person, is that what you really think? Etc..
Hopefully he'll just totally flip out.

The Obamas endorse Harris. Not exactly the most natural of videos though.

Vance is less popular than you'd think. Being picked by Trump didn't manage to give him the trademark Trump "charisma" (such as it is, i.e blind fealty), even a portion of the Republican base (MAGAts included, believe it or not!) is going "wait, who tf did we pick?" His "childless cat lady" comment went down pretty dang badly too... Yeah, Justin Webb on Americast is unsure if he’ll actually make it to election day. Biden might not be the last one to leave the election race. Can he drop out/be "dropped out" now that the RNC is over and they're effectively official though? The DNC hasn't happened yet (not even the virtual conference that IIRC they would have earlier than the actual convention, to confirm their ballot in time), so it wasn't a problem for Biden, but Trump/Vance might be screwed...

If he does change, does that mean Trump can't access all his funding? ;-)

Tbh I find the failure of Vance kind of comforting. In that it confirms to me that Trump's campy, sometimes funny, lizard brain charisma doesn't work at all when someone else tries it. Vance just comes across as a smarmy asshole, and nobody is buying it. Which gives me hope that Trump's little cult isn't going to survive the day that he finally shuts the fuck up.

It's very lucky that the phone call came in while she was being filmed with perfect audio and no outside noises to interfere with it.

That's kind of the problem when most of your attacks are projection.

Probably a world...civil war.

How would the rest of the world react to an American Civil war? Probably a world...civil war. Certainly global financial chaos. The Dollar would not longer be viable as a global reserve currency. But, because the EU and China both run balance of trade surpluses, availability of the Euro and Yuan globally is to limited for either to be a replacement. So a rush to gold, oil and other commodities, a pull back of private investment in infrastructure leading to global stagflation and a bunch of political uncertainty on the back of that.

You can’t say what the Americans didn’t know what they were they voting for. Pretty bleak situation to be in.

I still can't get my head around tens of millions of people in the US want to vote for someone who has been very clear that once elected he wants to be de facto king and not the mostly harmless kind that constitutional monarchies have but the iron fist type.
How fucking dense do you have to be when he's telling you this in advance?
