Yavin4's JournalAnyone here remember how Obama was forced into making a speech about his pastor, Rev. Wright?
How the media pretty much held Obama responsible for Rev. Wright's remarks. Remarks made during a service that didn't even happen during the campaign?
Once again, the double standard at work.
The Legacy of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act
--On Edit-- I know that this the CATO institute, but I wanted to use a non-liberal source to make this point about tariffs. Share this with your MAGA family and friends when they talk about Trump's policies.
Trump Tariffs? We did that in the 1930s. Anyone remember Hawley-Smoot act?
For crying out loud, it was in Ferris Bueller:

Donald Trump is the worst candidate that I have ever seen run for any office in my lifetime, and I'm 60 yrs old.
Maybe Lyndon LaRouche was worse. Maybe.
Here's Al Franken spoofing Lyndon La Rouche on SNL. Geesh. This could easily be a Trump speech.
If Trump is struggling in FLA, then how can he be doing well in swing states?
I'm not saying that Harris will win FLA, but....

Kamala Harris rally in GA -- Sorry, it's Twitter. No alternative
The video shows long lines of people waiting to get into her rally in GA.

In 2016, a majority of the American people voted against Trump. Yet, he still won.
In 2018, a majority of the American people voted to put the opposition party in control of congress. That congress impeached Trump. Yet, he remained in office.
In 2020, a majority of the American people voted against Trump, and this time, he lost.
In 2021, Trump lead an insurrection to thwart the will of the people. Again, congress voted to impeach him. Yet again, he was not convicted in the senate.
After his first presidency, random American people serving on grand juries in GA, DC, FLA, and NY all voted to indict him on the insurrection, hush money payments, and for taking top secret files with him to his home in FLA.
After a trial, a jury of his peers in NYC all voted to convict him.
The American people have used every lever of power granted to them in the constitution to prevent this man from being president, to put him on trial, and even into jail.
So why does he have a 50% chance of being president once again? Two reasons:
(1) Almost half of the American voting population are ignorant and racist. Most of them live in far flung isolated communities around the country. Sections of our constitution (the electoral college, gerrymandering, filibuster, etc.) give these people more political power than they should have.
(2) We have an uber wealthy elite who use their considerable economic power to keep Trump afloat. There are three cable news networks dedicated to pandering to those American in reason no.1 and propagandizing Trump. Additionally, one of the richest men in the world bought one of the largest online mass communication platforms to also bolster Trump.
In the end, win or lose, we have major, major problems with our fellow Americans, our constitution, our politics, and extreme hoarding of wealth. Our future is not bright unless we, individual Americans, work on these issues. Our mission as Progressives, Centrists, and common sense people is to not become complacent if Harris wins. As Trump has shown, a president alone cannot fix these issues, nor a congress, nor our judicial system. We have to fix these problems on an individual basis.
A great video discussing the early vote trends
In sum, Democratic early voting is higher in 2020 than in 2022 and Republicans are trailing the early vote.
Does anyone know the music in this clip on Twitter?
This is driving me nuts.
