Simon can you give me a reason or talking point to give a family member who told me he won’t vote for trump this time around ( voted for him 2xs) but then told me he also won’t vote for Biden. He hasn’t given me his reason for disliking Biden so much( as yet). He lives in Omaha, Nebraska. I feel that not voting is a vote for trump by default.
While President Biden is doing great things for America, today is a consequential day for Trump in two courtrooms. In New York, National Enquirer publisher David Pecker continues his testimony, which is already damning.
In DC, the Supreme Court is hearing Trump’s absurd claim that he has "absolute immunity" for any crimes committed while he was president.
Rick Hasen, a prominent prominent professor specializing in election law, is live-blogging the SCOTUS hearing. Definitely worth following!
We are jumping for joy in Arizona! I thought this day would never get here. Now we just need the Republican insurrectionists in our legislature to finally be called out!
A reminder that Democrats have the power to sweep by registering people currently not on the voting rolls and not polled. 60% of unregistered voters have never been asked to register. To win in 2024, FT6 will reach out to "millions of unregistered likely Democrats using our one-of-a-kind database and every outreach method possible (phone and text, postcard, email and targeted ad, and in-person too), where new Democratic voters will make the most impact – in the most flippable states and districts." https://www.fieldteam6.org/

Simon, how unpopular is the TikTok ban with young voters? I can see how this move plays into already existing views of Biden and the Democratic party leadership being old and out of touch.
Kelli Ward was *Chair of the Arizona Republican Party*. Fake Electors was her third attempt to overthrow the Arizona vote. She petitioned the US Supreme Court to do that, based on lies she told them about Dominion machines. During the count, when Trump began to lose, she told a top official (elected GOP) to stop; a tape of this became public. As GOP Chair she had a lot of say in re-election funding.
She and her husband, also a fake elector, have *fled to the Bahamas* where they rent out a boat called "American Honey". They have a Youtube site and a blog, one post on which expresses surprise that anyone would remark their leaving... suddenly... abandoning professions... after decades.
Sadly for justice they are probably safe there. Even the feds had a hard time extraditing Sam Bankman -Fried which was a high profile but non-political case of stolen $$Billions. I doubt that an individual state can extract comparative nobody Ward, with political ramifications and without financial fraud.
To all those who will not be voting for democracy and Biden: it's the equivalent of those who want to burn it all down. There are policies of Biden about Gaza etc I don't agree with. Nonetheless, we can survive policies. What we cannot survive is Trump continuing to undermine our democracy and thwarting our constitution and the Law. Vote for Biden and Democrats up and down the ballot!
Good to see the poll of what is more important to younger voters. It's up to us to keep the focus on those younger voters and encourage them to keep fighting for our democracy. I am encouraged by the many younger voters all over the country doing their part to re-elect Joe Biden.
We adults in the room need to not let ourselves get pulled into what is going on in a very small group of campuses with a very, itty, bitty, tiny group of young students. They have been pulled into something without the maturity and understanding of tribal wars that have gone on for decades in the ME. I don't see this as a movement growing as we older voters saw during the Vietnam era. Disruptive to some, yes, but not growing in the way that we saw in the 60's.
The protests we should be having is a “pro democracy/rule is law” advocacy. Netanyahu and hard right compatriots are just like Putin. They are part of the world wide campaign against democracy and the Jewish anti Jewish fever is meant to distract everyone from that true effort.
“Yes a Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll had Biden down 6 yesterday, and yes the Morning Consult weekly tracking poll - yes the same pollster - had Biden up 1 this week. How do you make sense of that? You can’t. I have no idea how the same pollster can produce such different results in the same week.”
One possible explanation for the discrepancy between the two Morning Consult polls is that the pollster’s computers were hacked. Following the passage of the TikTok divestment legislation, China certainly has added motivation to help Trump win.
From what i've read about the SCOTUS response to oral arguments, it seems to imply there's a good chance it will be bounced back to lower courts leaving little or no chance that the case will be tried before Election. Not the outcome I was hopium for! What's your take?
Whether you pro pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian we can debate and come to policies on what to do and we can survive. What we cannot survive is to surrender our democracy into the hands of darkness. For those who love country over party and people of all generations keep the torch of democracy lit! And pass it on. For Biden. I'd vote for him even if he were dead!

THANK YOU!
Appreciate you calling it what it is rather than the dismissive “hush money” lazy shorthand used by so many, especially the MSM.

Thank you Simon!’
I too am optimistic.
Great on Lawrence!

Wasn't the morning consult poll last week national while the poll this week was a conngromelate of state polling?

Simon, can you comment or interview Jess Piper (https://jesspiper.substack.com/p/instead-of-leaving-rural-america?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2) to discuss / argue / debate how to approach rural counties? Seems quite clear to me watching my purple state that Democrats have not been investing enough in the outlying rural areas, which are red, but ripe for change.
