Election Skeptics Target Voting Officials With Ads in Swing States

“It is extraordinarily rare for a country to be able to reduce inflation without creating a recession, but the Biden administration has managed to do so, producing what economists call a ‘soft landing,’ rather like catching an egg on a plate. As Bryan Mena of CNN wrote today: ‘The US economy seems to have pulled off a remarkable and historic achievement.’”

Exploiting Meta’s Weaknesses, Deceptive #Political Ads Thrived on #Facebook and #Instagram in Run-Up to #election2024

It’s beyond maddening that #Trump just has to win an election while we have to win and then fend off another Insurgency of Dunces.
It’s a safe bet that people will get killed this time around too.

Sounds like Elon Musk - who Trump outsourced his field team - is running the Cybertruck of get out the vote field efforts:
"In Michigan, canvassers and paid door knockers for the former president, contracted by a firm associated with America PAC, have been subjected to poor working conditions: A number of them have been driven around in the back of a seatless U-Haul van, according to video obtained by WIRED, and threatened that their lodging at a local motel wouldn’t be paid for if they didn’t meet canvassing quotas. One door knocker alleges that they didn’t even know they were signing up for." #election2024
San Francisco, we can do better than this! Boost to spread the word.
With less than one week until the last day to vote, only 23% of registered SF voters have returned their ballots.
It's better to return your ballot sooner rather than later so you have time to fix any problems that could keep your vote from being counted.
If there's a problem with your returned ballot, the SF Department of Elections will try to contact you to fix the problem.
⭐ Do democracy a favor and vote early! ⭐ Put your ballot into an official drop box or bring it to the City Hall Voting Center. You can still mail your ballot, but remember, in San Francisco it must be postmarked by or on Election Day to be counted.

So the world's richest man is saying "ordinary people" will experience temporary hardship under Trump's economic plans. I haven't heard that from the Harris/Walz ticket. 🤔
Was there no one else but the world's richest man available to deliver this message? How many of you would consider yourselves "ordinary people?"
I myself am pretty ordinary.

"The main reason for those ambivalent Americans to vote for Harris has little to do with policy or partisanship. It’s this: Electing her and defeating him is the only way to release us from the political nightmare in which we’re trapped and bring us to the next phase of the American experiment."
I think we all knew this was happening—why else overpay by $25b?—but I guess confirmation is good.

What makes Bezos’s op-ed so insulting is that if he’d made some kind of principled decision to not endorse in the name of “independence” that would not have happened after the endorsement had been drafted and readied for publication.

Almost all of the small number of cases of actual voter fraud are perpetrated by right-wingers who've drunk the kool aid and believe that they're just fighting fire with fire and also that they'll get away with it easily like Dems supposedly do.
It's truly one of the dumbest ways to get charged with a felony.

if you ever find yourself wondering "how did crypto bros get all this money to try to take over the government?" a big part of the answer is "the government gave it to them in the form of covid stimulus and PPP loans".
the crypto industry alone is now responsible for roughly half of all corporate money attempting to influence the election. you'd never know it though because their campaigns never mention crypto.

" #DonaldTrump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency.
...These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of #American #democracy that many find them hard to regard as anything but empty bluster.
We have two words for American voters: Believe him."

Opinion | What Donald Trump Would Do, in His Own Words
The former president’s most disturbing statements are not bluster. They are a road map to what he will do if elected again.The Editorial Board (The New York Times)
"The record shows that #Trump often pursues his stated goals, regardless of how plainly they lack #legal or moral grounding... that many of his most reckless efforts in his first administration were stymied only because of others in his administration who blocked, delayed or watered down his aims...
For this reason, Americans would be wise to see this language as a genuine threat, not simply Trump on a tangent."
