No wonder they want to shut down the Department of Education.

(60,320 posts)Education does help, and the degree, be it Lit, Nurse, STEM, Philo, History, doesn't matter. It's the ability to organize thought and to not engage in magical thinking. Who'da thunk?

(262 posts)Theres a handful of people I know that voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 and Biden in 2020. And all of them are voting for Kamala. The tariffs thing sticks out as their number one issue.
I think moving forward everything needs to be about Abortion and the Economy. Keep the base fired up and our eye on the prize and then bring over people that only vote R bc of the GOP economy. Dems really need to reclaim the economy as being our issue. Economy and Freedom, Freedom and Economy. And everything else we can bring it into a discussion about the Economy. The War in Ukraine. To maintain peace in Europe which keeps the World Economy stable.

No caveats, no buts, no mitigating factors (well until the very end).

(27,778 posts)No matter how many of those of those traditionally Republican voters, vote for Harris, won't mean a thing unless they flip a Swing State.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
