Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

Just as important to Harris is voters who are unlikely to vote, but would vote Democrat if pushed or vote anyone who shows interest in them.

Sky News went to a park last week in one of the Swing States, some interviewed didn't even know who was running.

The pertinent question though, is their enough time for the grass roots to mobilise and get them voting.

It's a coin toss at the moment who takes the White House, this is reflected in the betting exchanges.

There is stuff some people know about that is not on my radar, and there is stuff on my radar that some people have never heard of. Thats people. There are some people who consume zero news. Actively turn off the news when it comes on, and only read the sports pages of the red tops, if that.

Social Media records what people like and displays relevant content to them. If a person has never mentioned Trump or the election in a comment, or liked a picture of Harris, they end up in the opposite of an echo chamber, where they don't hear about that particular subject at all.

I'm sure my knowledge or lack there of on a wide range of things would stagger some people. I didn't know what Taylor Swift even looked like until recently for example.

Brexit Vote Leave, with it's relatively unlimited budget, put a huge amount of resources into this demographic. The people who've never voted, have no interest or knowledge of politics, many not even registered as voters.

It's why the amount of money raised it important. Theoretically it allows you to fund activists who can go to these sort of places and get people voting and, merely by showing interest in these voters you can get them to vote the way you suggest. Though there'll always be a counter temptation to use the excess funds on bigger TV and newspaper ads which are 'safer', but really only reach the usual voters.

The Republicans at state level don't bother with this vote.

Instead they have a better tactic, supress it.

Minimal amounts of polling stations which leads to people unable to get there and if they do hours long queues just to vote.

A lot of these people would be in lower paid jobs where taken a day off to vote wouldn't be possible, and even if they had a day off would they want to spend it in line. You can't blame them.

The cost of getting this vote isn't just about knocking on doors, it's the cost associated with getting people to polling stations.

It really takes a small army with a huge amount of cash, the target is tiny but can be consequential.

I just don't think the time is on the side of Democrats to do, even allowing for record numbers of volunteers and cash.

8. Eliminate the department of education. For reasons.

Oh, I don't think Convicted Felon Trump and his flying monkeys want to eliminate the DoJ. Just weaponize it worse than it was under that John Goodman look-alike and CFTrump endorser Barr.

Maybe Trumps dream is to utter the line, "Roads?! Where we're going, we don't need roads"

And then hop into a golf cart on his way to the next hole.

More like the baby Sinclair in Dinosaurs.....

And I'll never miss an opportunity to post this clip of the current vice president grilling him on exactly what you pointed out above

Cory Booker trying to not bust out laughing at Barr is epic.
