I live in Tennessee so with winner take all system my democrat vote is ignored by the electoral college but I do it because the popular vote counts psychologically.
Same situation here in Kansas. However, I have a sneaking suspicion we make history and send our electoral votes for a Democrat. Kansas is slowly turning purple.
Recent polls from the swing states by Bloomberg/Morning Consult have Harris ahead by +3 points on average, ranging from neck-and-neck with Trump to a +7 point lead.
The poll of over 6,000 registered voters in the swing states was conducted from September 19-25, with margins of error ranging from 1 to 4 percent in each state.
In Pennsylvania, which hosted the first Harris-Trump presidential debate, Harris has seen her lead increase from +4 points to +5 points since August.
The state had previously been leaning towards Trump when President Joe Biden was on the Democratic ticket.
In Nevada, Harris has the strongest 7-point lead over Trump, with 52 percent of the vote to 45 percent.
In Georgia, the two candidates are tied at 49 percent each, while Harris’s 5-point lead in Wisconsin has shrunk to 3 points ahead of Trump.
Harris is also 3 points ahead in Michigan and Arizona and 2 points ahead in North Carolina.
While the economy remains the top issue for swing state voters, the perceived “competency gap” is shrinking: 45 percent of swing state voters think Harris can better handle the economy, slightly behind Trump at 49 percent.
It is worth noting that separate New York Times polls earlier this month showed a lead for Trump in Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia. This variation indicates that the swing states are still open to change before November.
For months I had been approaching virtually all of progressive media trying to get them to publish
Exposing The Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissist As A Moron
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Likewise here's the lead paragraph in
On Media Suppression Of Trump's Increasing Dementia
I first read the Daily Kos's lead article (2-26-24) titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart, which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that at least his father Fred had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I learned when I posted A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency to Donald Trump's to every response. After the idiot went into a long rant about choosing between being electrocuted by a battery on a sinking boat or eaten by a shark Robert Reich's newsletter (7-8-24, 8-8-24) posted Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?
The last sentence in both papers: Would you rather have a Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron whose Father Also Had Dementia running this country or the Daughter of Two University Professors?
Did a mass mailing on 9-25 To the webmaster at the World Mental Health Coalition, Cc'd to all the progressive media and others. The WMHC had a press conference on 9-27 focusing on their president Dr. Bandy Lee's Prediction of Trump's Sociopathic Propensity to Make Violent Threats Against His Enemies outlined in her 2017 bestseller. Googled media reports of their Friday 9-27 conference and saw no new news about it. Which tells me that all Progressive Media Will Not Print The Above Sentence Because Of PREDICTABLE DEATH THREATS! Just look at the Threats to Bomb Schools and Hospitals in Springfield Ohio after Trump brought up Haitians Eating Pets during the Debate with Kamala no less.
At the end of September the latest poll had Harris leading in all the swing states except tied in Georgia by an average of about 3 points so I wasn't too concerned that progressive media wasn't comparing the demented fascist moron with the professors daughter. The latest poll now in mid October has swung Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina to Trump despite his incoherent ramblings and climate driven devastation in the latter two areas being helped by Biden's federal funds (with MAGA Thugs Attacking FEMA Workers!). People are just too stupid and easily manipulated against their own good.

I feel that commenters who repost their same message over and over and over again are selfish and rude. You waste my time. Time that I would like to spend reading the thoughts of others is wasted as I start reading your repeats and then have to scroll past them. I wish you would be more considerate to your fellow readers & commenters here.

After reading your column, I feel bolstered by your logic that Harris will win. I appreciate your coverage of some of the major details. As a fellow Michigander, however, I'm not as understanding of the "young people" protesting against our support of the Israeli war against Hamas. In fact, I have believed from the start that the Arab community in Michigan will literally be "cutting their nose off to spite their face" if they don't vote for the Harris/Walz ticket. And I'll really be disgusted if Michigan slides back to red because of said lack of voters. Frankly, I do think Biden has been too steadfast in his support of Israel in the face of Bibi's scorched earth tactics. I've wondered why we just haven't withheld some of the aid to get him to listen, but I also know that I'm no Middle Eastern political expert. In the end, NONE of us will fare well in this country -- not even the MAGA faithful -- if Trump should slither back into the oval office. The young protestors should consider this fact first and foremost come November 5th. After all their families came to this country, like all of our ancestors, for a better life.

As someone famous once said, "it is not who votes that matters", it is who counts the votes that matters"! It must have been Trump?
Hopefully we can survive four more years without a dictatorship. I know I plan on getting off of the grid ASAP. I can no longer rely on my fellow Americans to do the right, moral, Godly things anymore. Since the 1960s, the left decided to have fewer babies so we would not overpopulate and pollute the planet 🌎. The right has since gone on a procreating binge. (I'm getting nauseous)
With the religious leaders opposed to birth control, the irresponsible outreproduced the responsible by far and it is hard to have a stable democracy when the majority of the voters are delusional, detached from reality. Batship crazy!
I could not survive very long if the local supermarket closed its doors. Humans don't look very tasty to me. We better vote for Kamala and hope we can all become self-sufficient! JD Vance looks like he has another 40 or 50 years left in him, to practice his cruelty along with the rest of the right wingers!

Thank for your thoughtful analysis 🧐. The biggest point is Joe Biden is still the President u til January 20. No permit in Washington DC.
Joe Biden will order National Guard to guard our nation’s Capitol and any other State that Law Enforcement needs assistance. we still need to do our part “vote “. Trump is going down, and on his way to jail.

Extremely doubtful that "a new era is being born," unless you mean the era of the ever-expanding Sixth Great Extinction, and perhaps the era of WWIII. Harris is not "a new era,: just a rehashed and rather superficial version of the same hyper-militarized neoliberal capitalism politics we've witnessed for the past thirty-four years. Trump must go down, of course, but we should not be fooled by the vacuous Harris. If she wins, Wall Street will not change; the Pentagon will not change; corporate headquarters will not change, etc., etc. Power will remain in the hyper-militarized corporate/banking/finance sector the we will continue racing toward the abyss. Saviors will not come from above; all of us must rise from below.
I've been thinking this, too, Gad. During this chaotic era, I'm aware that I've been a terrible citizen. While I'll sit and complain about the wealth gap, lower wages and the vanishing middle class, what have I actually DONE? Have I ever gone to my congressman's or senator's office IN PERSON to state my grievances and ask, "what are you doing about it?" I've written letters, but that's a waste of time. And I engage in echo chambers like this one, which isn't a waste, but does it CHANGE anything? When Harris wins, we all have to seriously make our voices heard about what we want, either one on one with our reps or in peaceful priests.
Here's one idea to win this campaign, as I think Mike is right that women will ensure the win. Men can do this trick too! They can't post stickies in women's bathrooms, but they can post them on all kinds of women's products. Be creative!

You seem sure of your convictions. I can guarantee that those who have and will shape Trump on their convictions have already worked you into their equations.
Unfortunately, I live in a zone of Trump supporters with Trump flags in yards and in the back of pickup trucks, yard signs galore, etc. Rural PA - the Alabama of the North.

I try to talk with neighbors with their confederate flags flying and Trump flags waving in the wind, and always do so in ways that respect the dignity of the person, even though the ideas they hold are often despicable. There is some common ground we can find for semi-rational discussion, but sadly that quickly evaporates into inanities and insanities on their part, and there is nowhere to go with the conversation. As Chomsky once said "Sometimes you have to know when to pack up and leave."

Harris is not the President (yet), cannot make policy on Israel or anything else (yet). She's still only VP, under some restraints.
I do not understand the aversion to voting for Harris, it only displays a true lack of imagination, not to mention hope. We can be sure the alternative will not deliver any change with regards to Israel, he and Bibi are two peas in a pod.
I'm pragmatic - Harris offers hope of change at least - I'll take something over nothing. :-)
I'm a 67 year old White guy from IL, canvassing Wisconsin for Kamala. The campaign workers are focussed, determined and embracing Tim Walz's motto "you'll have time to sleep when you're dead." Many "potential" voters are tired from the stuff of life: taking care of kids, parents; barely keeping their heads above water with bills; overwhelmed by our toxic social media; struggling with health issues. Yet, they are generally positive about Kamala (Love Tammy), so our job is to encourage them to vote and please get your family and friends to vote too. We can do this. LET'S END THE NIGHTMARE CALLED MAGA!

Dear Michael, Thank you for giving me a glimmer of hope that we will defeat Orange Blob in November. But, it does not help my psyche when I read online scare tactics from the Harris campaign saying they are behind Trump with total campaign donations and then referring to the neck and neck polling numbers between the two nominees. I am terrified about the possiblility that Trump might win. I am a senior citizen in my 70s and I am one of too many Americans who will lose too much if Trump gets in. But, your arguments have meat to them. You are a well connected man and you usually have your fingers of the pulse of America. THAT is encouraging.

The most important thing I'm going to take away from your article was the first sentence; "If everyone does their part in the next few weeks, Trump is going down in flames". We cannot get complacent or overconfident. We have to finish strong. Keep writing and sending postcards, attend rallies, knock on doors, put out your yard signs, register new voters, write letters to the editor. Imagine, as Coach Walz said, it's the 4th quarter with 2 minutes to play and we're down by 1 with the ball and the momentum on our side. Let's punch it in for a game winning TD!

Thanks for the poll info, Sean. If the polls are correct, the race is still super tight. I take polls with a grain of salt. They often do not reflect what actually occurs. For instance, we hd an abortion amendment on the ballot here in Kansas, on Aug. 2022, that was predicted to be very close by polling. It turned out to be and victory for women and reproductive freedom, 59% to 41%. Nonetheless, this is no time to gamble, we have WORK to do!
I appreciate your support for Kamala Harris and abhor Trump.
However, America is responsible for the genocide in Gaza and the cruelty of starving children to death.
Please watch the new documentary called "Starving Gaza."
Because the Democrats are supporting Israel fully another major war has broken out in the middle east. I cannot in good conscious vote for the Democratic party because of their stated support of Israel.
I am a registered voter in Nevada, and I have been disenfranchised. I wanted to vote for Jill Stein as she is the only candidate that has stated her clear opposition to the Israel genocide. She was arrested for protesting against this war.
I lost my ability to vote for Jill Stein in Nevada because she was removed from the ballot. The reason she was removed was the Secretary of the State of Nevada gave the Jill Stein campaign the incorrect form (intentional or by mistake?) to use when submitting the required signatures to get on the ballot. A lawsuit decided by Nevada's Supreme Court removed Jill Stein from the ballot and write-in candidates are not allowed in Nevada.
There are so many efforts across America to take the right to vote away from the people. Republicans have purged millions from the voter rolls in their efforts to rig the system. Yes, my vote was blocked and the lawsuit to block it was filed by the DEMOCRATS.
The Democrats claim to be fighting for democracy but please consider that democracy also includes allowing for third party candidates and not to block them from being on the ballot. A vote can also be "for" something such as stopping war, not just against something such as stopping Trump.
The Democrats are wrong when it comes to Gaza and have the blood of tens of thousands of dead people and CHILDREN on their hands.
I could never vote for a candidate that participates in sending billions to Israel for a genocide, while blocking American humanitarian aid from entering Gaza. This is illegal under both American and international law. Biden is a war criminal. The Democrats are bringing more war with the new candidate. Israel's ability to "defend itself" includes starving babies to death. Shame on us for supporting such cruelty!
If you disagree with Harris on Israel, should she win you will be able to organize huge protests to change her mind. If Trump wins, he will send in our own military or national guard TO CRUSH OR KILL YOU. See the difference?
This is no time to squabble on policy, even regarding issues you care deeply about. This election is about the existential threat to American democracy.
In future elections, you can talk about "the lesser of two evils," but this election? IT'S NOT A NORMAL ELECTION. We all need to put on our big boy/big girl pants and BE SMART about this. Lamenting that you can't vote for Jill Stein sounds just so insignificant when we are looking at extreme violence ahead. And the rise of authoritarianism on our own soil with a second Trump term.
There is no moral equivalency here between the two. There just isn't.
And for the record, Gazans will suffer FAR MORE under Trump. See that? Don't you want to at least try to stop him?
Jill Stein sees 'no lesser evil' between Harris, Trump
DEARBORN, Michigan (Reuters) -Widespread anger among Arab Americans and Muslims over U.S. support for Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon could cost Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, the election, Green Party candidate Jill Stein told Reuters on Sunday.
Polls show Harris and her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, in a tight race for the Nov. 5 election, with Stein garnering just 1% support nationally, as she did in the 2016 election.
But Stein has seen growing support among Arab Americans and Muslims in battleground states like Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin where they have large populations that helped propel President Joe Biden to narrow victories in the 2020 election.
Stein has sought the support of those groups, calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an immediate U.S. arms embargo on Israel. An August poll by the Council on American Islamic Relations showed her taking support away from Harris in those swing states.
"The Democrats have lost the Muslim American and the Arab American vote," Stein told Reuters after a rally attended by about 100 people in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn on Sunday. "They're going to be losing enough swing states that they will not win and they cannot win."
She said Democrats could win back those voters if they enacted an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, and halted arms sales to Israel, but that there was no sign of such action.
Do you understand that Kamala Harris could do the right thing promise to put forward an arms embargo and to stop the genocide ASAP and get MORE votes (including mine) to win Nevada and Michigan? Babies are starving to death RIGHT NOW! Instead, Harris promises that her support of Israel is the same as Biden. I am not going to vote for a supporter of genocide just because you tell me the other psychopath is worse.
So her snubbing of Netanyahu wasn't significant? Which led him to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago? Harris has indeed called for a cease-fire. But if there's an arms embargo, we will be trading one massacre for another. Without arms, Israel will be wiped off the map.
It's all a horrific situation. HORRIFIC. But if I were her, I'm not sure that I would call for an arms embargo either. I honestly wouldn't know what to do except try to broker peace.
I mean, maybe it's okay with you that Israelis should be wiped out, as perhaps you feel they shouldn't have been there in the first place. I get that. But they were a traumatized people after WWII, and Britain thought it was doing something good by giving them a home they could call their own.
Of course, It's incredible to me that Great Britain is never brought up in this discussion, as at the time they were imperialists in all of Arabia. The land wasn't theirs to give, but give it they did, and while I wasn't alive then, I'm sure it seemed like the right thing to do at the time for such a traumatized people. Take note that the Jews didn't just march into Palestine and say, "Give us this land!" They staggered in in a dazed state. It happened. It evolved.
It's all somewhat like the United States, only we TOOK this land from the American Indians. Could we get up and leave now, even though we probably should? No, because we can't. Should we be massacred for even being here? Of course not, because we were all born here and know no different, just like the Israelis, many of whom-- if not most --HATE their current leader.
What I'm saying overall is that these things aren't simple. So the fact that you're willing to see your own country fall to authoritarianism -- fall to a leader who will be far more destructive to Gaza -- over a SINGLE ISSUE tells me that you suffer from a failure of imagination. You can imagine the suffering of the Gazans, but you can't imagine getting gunned down by your own military on your own streets should you protest under Donald Trump.
I can only imagine you are very young. I don't mean that as a criticism of you personally, but of the young liberal mindset in general. I was once like you, but I was never confronted with such an existential threat to our country., either. I hope that my younger self could have seen this all clearly, but who knows.
If you don't vote for Harris and the country falls, you will live to regret your non-vote. You will watch your children grow up in a very different world than you did. And that will be on YOU, Willi. The other candidate in the election IS a psychopath, and you can tell your kids you ignored it for politics happening in another country far, far away.
I hope you will change your mind.
Oh, I looked you up and saw your dog group! I happily subscribed, and I'm eager to learn more about how it works. (Huge music fan....and dog fan...since birth. :)
P.S. It's much easier for Stein to call for an embargo because she KNOWS she will not win. I fully suspect that if she had a genuine shot at POTUS, she would be far more thoughtful about this stance, as if enacted, it would just mean trading one atrocity for another.
The general feeling is she is for the genocide, so that is why I refuse to vote for her.
My personal opinion is very clear. I do not support genocide, which includes the killing of children by starvation for any reason. It is ILLEGAL under American law to give arms to any nation that refuses to permit American humanitarian aid to be given to the ones who suffer. I was really hoping that Ms. Harris would rise to the occasion and be the peacemaker that brings a ceasefire but she is not able to do this or even state clearly her position that is more refined that "unconditional support for Israel." This war is so wrong on so many levels. I insist we stop supporting it.
I agree with you. I think it is horrible that you can’t write in, in Nevada, that is not very democratic is it. I can write in Stein and will do so in IL. I am done voting for the lessor of two evils because they are both evil. Stein and Ware are great and as you said the only peace candidates. Imagine how much more we could do for people if we did not waste so many billions on war.
Mike just pointed out that the first thing the Zion Nazi did after Kamala snubbed him was to head to Mara Lago to meet with his fascist buddy who happens to be running against her. Is Cornell West on the ballot there now that RFK Jr. is in the fascist camp?
Recent polls from the swing states by Bloomberg/Morning Consult have Harris ahead by +3 points on average, ranging from neck-and-neck with Trump to a +7 point lead.
The poll of over 6,000 registered voters in the swing states was conducted from September 19-25, with margins of error ranging from 1 to 4 percent in each state.
In Pennsylvania, which hosted the first Harris-Trump presidential debate, Harris has seen her lead increase from +4 points to +5 points since August.
The state had previously been leaning towards Trump when President Joe Biden was on the Democratic ticket.
In Nevada, Harris has the strongest 7-point lead over Trump, with 52 percent of the vote to 45 percent.
In Georgia, the two candidates are tied at 49 percent each, while Harris’s 5-point lead in Wisconsin has shrunk to 3 points ahead of Trump.
Harris is also 3 points ahead in Michigan and Arizona and 2 points ahead in North Carolina.
While the economy remains the top issue for swing state voters, the perceived “competency gap” is shrinking: 45 percent of swing state voters think Harris can better handle the economy, slightly behind Trump at 49 percent.
It is worth noting that separate New York Times polls earlier this month showed a lead for Trump in Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia. This variation indicates that the swing states are still open to change before November.
Michael, the sad truth, which you continue to downplay, is that Harris has the same policies as Biden and the DNC. She refused to meet with the uncommitted delegates, who have refused to endorse her. No Palestinian voice was heard on the DNC stage, altho they did have time for some very questionable individuals. She courted Dick Cheney and other war criminals!! Harris has been outspoken in her "iron-clad support" for Israel, sending billions of our tax dollars for bombs to blow up children, in violation of American law, (Yes, Blinken lied, so what?), and International law. She know this. She's a lawyer. She doesn't care about human rights, she cares about US hegemony, about donations from Big money, including Zionist AIPAC, and war based industry. And she is now participating in leading us into a war which could end life as we know it on this planet. And you are pissed off about Flint's water supply, but not Genocide, and lying about it?!?

f....ing AWESOME RANT. I I think Michael Moore that this is the best rant EVER. THANK YOU. Especially for the very detailed "facts" on the polls (which another credible source also agrees), are simply WRONG re the actual election result, which, IMO, will end up in a landslide for Harris. As you pointed out, however, no one should ever underestimate the DEPRAVED AND ILLEGAL DEPTHS that trump will sink to in his attempt to STEAL the election...remember Russian interference? That moron will do anything to keep power...anything. That's why your caveat is SO BLOODY IMPORTANT. Carry on Michael....we love you for who you are! Lynn V.

I also am from Flint, and still have relatives there, drinking THAT water. I remember clearly Obama going there, at a podium 'drinkinking' a sip of water, telling Flint "I have your back", which it turns out he didn't. We have to keep after these politicians as if we were the million dollar donors.
I am checking with all I still know in MI. that they vote for Kamala, but then we all keep on her to do the right things, which I believe in her heart she knows. But $$ drives our country, which we must fight this system, if it is to change.
Yes - the struggle is never over. My gay friends, feminist friends, others, and my own common sense, taught me that.
And upon reflection today, I see they were/are absolutely right. A slide backwards inevitably follows progress.One step forward will always be met with resistance, always, and for many reasons, many agendas.
So never assume the struggle is over - it hasn't been for time out of mind.
We fight for today, right now - but we also fight for the future. It is slow, it is frustrating, it will not be complete in our lifetimes, and maybe never. There is no magical happy ending - but there is progress, history tells us so. So take up the challenge with a bold heart, be today's happy warrior. Be proud of all your efforts. Someday you will pass the baton. ❤️

I live in Tennessee so with winner take all system my democrat vote is ignored by the electoral college but I do it because the popular vote counts psychologically.
Same situation here in Kansas. However, I have a sneaking suspicion we make history and send our electoral votes for a Democrat. Kansas is slowly turning purple.

For months I had been approaching virtually all of progressive media trying to get them to publish
Exposing The Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissist As A Moron
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Likewise here's the lead paragraph in
On Media Suppression Of Trump's Increasing Dementia
I first read the Daily Kos's lead article (2-26-24) titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart, which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that at least his father Fred had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I learned when I posted A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency to Donald Trump's to every response. After the idiot went into a long rant about choosing between being electrocuted by a battery on a sinking boat or eaten by a shark Robert Reich's newsletter (7-8-24, 8-8-24) posted Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?
The last sentence in both papers: Would you rather have a Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron whose Father Also Had Dementia running this country or the Daughter of Two University Professors?
Did a mass mailing on 9-25 To the webmaster at the World Mental Health Coalition, Cc'd to all the progressive media and others. The WMHC had a press conference on 9-27 focusing on their president Dr. Bandy Lee's Prediction of Trump's Sociopathic Propensity to Make Violent Threats Against His Enemies outlined in her 2017 bestseller. Googled media reports of their Friday 9-27 conference and saw no new news about it. Which tells me that all Progressive Media Will Not Print The Above Sentence Because Of PREDICTABLE DEATH THREATS! Just look at the Threats to Bomb Schools and Hospitals in Springfield Ohio after Trump brought up Haitians Eating Pets during the Debate with Kamala no less.
At the end of September the latest poll had Harris leading in all the swing states except tied in Georgia by an average of about 3 points so I wasn't too concerned that progressive media wasn't comparing the demented fascist moron with the professors daughter. The latest poll now in mid October has swung Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina to Trump despite his incoherent ramblings and climate driven devastation in the latter two areas being helped by Biden's federal funds (with MAGA Thugs Attacking FEMA Workers!). People are just too stupid and easily manipulated against their own good.

After reading your column, I feel bolstered by your logic that Harris will win. I appreciate your coverage of some of the major details. As a fellow Michigander, however, I'm not as understanding of the "young people" protesting against our support of the Israeli war against Hamas. In fact, I have believed from the start that the Arab community in Michigan will literally be "cutting their nose off to spite their face" if they don't vote for the Harris/Walz ticket. And I'll really be disgusted if Michigan slides back to red because of said lack of voters. Frankly, I do think Biden has been too steadfast in his support of Israel in the face of Bibi's scorched earth tactics. I've wondered why we just haven't withheld some of the aid to get him to listen, but I also know that I'm no Middle Eastern political expert. In the end, NONE of us will fare well in this country -- not even the MAGA faithful -- if Trump should slither back into the oval office. The young protestors should consider this fact first and foremost come November 5th. After all their families came to this country, like all of our ancestors, for a better life.

As someone famous once said, "it is not who votes that matters", it is who counts the votes that matters"! It must have been Trump?
Hopefully we can survive four more years without a dictatorship. I know I plan on getting off of the grid ASAP. I can no longer rely on my fellow Americans to do the right, moral, Godly things anymore. Since the 1960s, the left decided to have fewer babies so we would not overpopulate and pollute the planet 🌎. The right has since gone on a procreating binge. (I'm getting nauseous)
With the religious leaders opposed to birth control, the irresponsible outreproduced the responsible by far and it is hard to have a stable democracy when the majority of the voters are delusional, detached from reality. Batship crazy!
I could not survive very long if the local supermarket closed its doors. Humans don't look very tasty to me. We better vote for Kamala and hope we can all become self-sufficient! JD Vance looks like he has another 40 or 50 years left in him, to practice his cruelty along with the rest of the right wingers!

Extremely doubtful that "a new era is being born," unless you mean the era of the ever-expanding Sixth Great Extinction, and perhaps the era of WWIII. Harris is not "a new era,: just a rehashed and rather superficial version of the same hyper-militarized neoliberal capitalism politics we've witnessed for the past thirty-four years. Trump must go down, of course, but we should not be fooled by the vacuous Harris. If she wins, Wall Street will not change; the Pentagon will not change; corporate headquarters will not change, etc., etc. Power will remain in the hyper-militarized corporate/banking/finance sector the we will continue racing toward the abyss. Saviors will not come from above; all of us must rise from below.
I've been thinking this, too, Gad. During this chaotic era, I'm aware that I've been a terrible citizen. While I'll sit and complain about the wealth gap, lower wages and the vanishing middle class, what have I actually DONE? Have I ever gone to my congressman's or senator's office IN PERSON to state my grievances and ask, "what are you doing about it?" I've written letters, but that's a waste of time. And I engage in echo chambers like this one, which isn't a waste, but does it CHANGE anything? When Harris wins, we all have to seriously make our voices heard about what we want, either one on one with our reps or in peaceful priests.
Here's one idea to win this campaign, as I think Mike is right that women will ensure the win. Men can do this trick too! They can't post stickies in women's bathrooms, but they can post them on all kinds of women's products. Be creative!

In Pennsylvania, which hosted the first Harris-Trump presidential debate, Harris has seen her lead increase from +4 points to +5 points since August.
The state had previously been leaning towards Trump when President Joe Biden was on the Democratic ticket.
In Nevada, Harris has the strongest 7-point lead over Trump, with 52 percent of the vote to 45 percent.
In Georgia, the two candidates are tied at 49 percent each, while Harris’s 5-point lead in Wisconsin has shrunk to 3 points ahead of Trump.
Harris is also 3 points ahead in Michigan and Arizona and 2 points ahead in North Carolina.
While the economy remains the top issue for swing state voters, the perceived “competency gap” is shrinking: 45 percent of swing state voters think Harris can better handle the economy, slightly behind Trump at 49 percent.
It is worth noting that separate New York Times polls earlier this month showed a lead for Trump in Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia. This variation indicates that the swing states are still open to change before November.
Are you looking for sympathy? Are you afraid to stand out? Why?
Not sure what point you're making, if any.
There's no need to accusatory and rude. I come here to "hear" reasonable discussion and debate.
comment was only meant to be descriptive...in response to what I thought was meant by your comment about already being worked into their equations...
Make sure your tires do not get slashed or your car windows do not have a bottle thrown threw it. Or your dog killed or your house burnt down ..
I try to talk with neighbors with their confederate flags flying and Trump flags waving in the wind, and always do so in ways that respect the dignity of the person, even though the ideas they hold are often despicable. There is some common ground we can find for semi-rational discussion, but sadly that quickly evaporates into inanities and insanities on their part, and there is nowhere to go with the conversation. As Chomsky once said "Sometimes you have to know when to pack up and leave."
That's not what I meant.

Harris is not the President (yet), cannot make policy on Israel or anything else (yet). She's still only VP, under some restraints.
I do not understand the aversion to voting for Harris, it only displays a true lack of imagination, not to mention hope. We can be sure the alternative will not deliver any change with regards to Israel, he and Bibi are two peas in a pod.
I'm pragmatic - Harris offers hope of change at least - I'll take something over nothing. :-)
I'm a 67 year old White guy from IL, canvassing Wisconsin for Kamala. The campaign workers are focussed, determined and embracing Tim Walz's motto "you'll have time to sleep when you're dead." Many "potential" voters are tired from the stuff of life: taking care of kids, parents; barely keeping their heads above water with bills; overwhelmed by our toxic social media; struggling with health issues. Yet, they are generally positive about Kamala (Love Tammy), so our job is to encourage them to vote and please get your family and friends to vote too. We can do this. LET'S END THE NIGHTMARE CALLED MAGA!

You keep interrupting the flow with this repeated post. Stop it!
Thank you!
Dear Michael, Thank you for giving me a glimmer of hope that we will defeat Orange Blob in November. But, it does not help my psyche when I read online scare tactics from the Harris campaign saying they are behind Trump with total campaign donations and then referring to the neck and neck polling numbers between the two nominees. I am terrified about the possiblility that Trump might win. I am a senior citizen in my 70s and I am one of too many Americans who will lose too much if Trump gets in. But, your arguments have meat to them. You are a well connected man and you usually have your fingers of the pulse of America. THAT is encouraging.

I pray you are correct. It is important that Harris/Walz win.
The most important thing I'm going to take away from your article was the first sentence; "If everyone does their part in the next few weeks, Trump is going down in flames". We cannot get complacent or overconfident. We have to finish strong. Keep writing and sending postcards, attend rallies, knock on doors, put out your yard signs, register new voters, write letters to the editor. Imagine, as Coach Walz said, it's the 4th quarter with 2 minutes to play and we're down by 1 with the ball and the momentum on our side. Let's punch it in for a game winning TD!

Thanks for the poll info, Sean. If the polls are correct, the race is still super tight. I take polls with a grain of salt. They often do not reflect what actually occurs. For instance, we hd an abortion amendment on the ballot here in Kansas, on Aug. 2022, that was predicted to be very close by polling. It turned out to be and victory for women and reproductive freedom, 59% to 41%. Nonetheless, this is no time to gamble, we have WORK to do!
Hello Michael and all,
I appreciate your support for Kamala Harris and abhor Trump.
However, America is responsible for the genocide in Gaza and the cruelty of starving children to death.
Please watch the new documentary called "Starving Gaza."
Because the Democrats are supporting Israel fully another major war has broken out in the middle east. I cannot in good conscious vote for the Democratic party because of their stated support of Israel.
I am a registered voter in Nevada, and I have been disenfranchised. I wanted to vote for Jill Stein as she is the only candidate that has stated her clear opposition to the Israel genocide. She was arrested for protesting against this war.
I lost my ability to vote for Jill Stein in Nevada because she was removed from the ballot. The reason she was removed was the Secretary of the State of Nevada gave the Jill Stein campaign the incorrect form (intentional or by mistake?) to use when submitting the required signatures to get on the ballot. A lawsuit decided by Nevada's Supreme Court removed Jill Stein from the ballot and write-in candidates are not allowed in Nevada.
There are so many efforts across America to take the right to vote away from the people. Republicans have purged millions from the voter rolls in their efforts to rig the system. Yes, my vote was blocked and the lawsuit to block it was filed by the DEMOCRATS.
The Democrats claim to be fighting for democracy but please consider that democracy also includes allowing for third party candidates and not to block them from being on the ballot. A vote can also be "for" something such as stopping war, not just against something such as stopping Trump.
The Democrats are wrong when it comes to Gaza and have the blood of tens of thousands of dead people and CHILDREN on their hands.
I could never vote for a candidate that participates in sending billions to Israel for a genocide, while blocking American humanitarian aid from entering Gaza. This is illegal under both American and international law. Biden is a war criminal. The Democrats are bringing more war with the new candidate. Israel's ability to "defend itself" includes starving babies to death. Shame on us for supporting such cruelty!
A quote from Kamala Harris
Harris: "Let me be very clear. I’m unequivocal and — and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself. And that’s not gonna change." Source: https://www.jta.org/2024/08/30/united-states/what-kamala-harris-said-about-israel-and-the-war-in-gaza-in-her-cnn-interview-with-tim-walz
If you disagree with Harris on Israel, should she win you will be able to organize huge protests to change her mind. If Trump wins, he will send in our own military or national guard TO CRUSH OR KILL YOU. See the difference?
This is no time to squabble on policy, even regarding issues you care deeply about. This election is about the existential threat to American democracy.
In future elections, you can talk about "the lesser of two evils," but this election? IT'S NOT A NORMAL ELECTION. We all need to put on our big boy/big girl pants and BE SMART about this. Lamenting that you can't vote for Jill Stein sounds just so insignificant when we are looking at extreme violence ahead. And the rise of authoritarianism on our own soil with a second Trump term.
There is no moral equivalency here between the two. There just isn't.
And for the record, Gazans will suffer FAR MORE under Trump. See that? Don't you want to at least try to stop him?

Jill Stein sees 'no lesser evil' between Harris, Trump
DEARBORN, Michigan (Reuters) -Widespread anger among Arab Americans and Muslims over U.S. support for Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon could cost Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, the election, Green Party candidate Jill Stein told Reuters on Sunday.
Polls show Harris and her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, in a tight race for the Nov. 5 election, with Stein garnering just 1% support nationally, as she did in the 2016 election.
But Stein has seen growing support among Arab Americans and Muslims in battleground states like Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin where they have large populations that helped propel President Joe Biden to narrow victories in the 2020 election.
Stein has sought the support of those groups, calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an immediate U.S. arms embargo on Israel. An August poll by the Council on American Islamic Relations showed her taking support away from Harris in those swing states.
"The Democrats have lost the Muslim American and the Arab American vote," Stein told Reuters after a rally attended by about 100 people in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn on Sunday. "They're going to be losing enough swing states that they will not win and they cannot win."
She said Democrats could win back those voters if they enacted an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, and halted arms sales to Israel, but that there was no sign of such action.
Do you understand that Kamala Harris could do the right thing promise to put forward an arms embargo and to stop the genocide ASAP and get MORE votes (including mine) to win Nevada and Michigan? Babies are starving to death RIGHT NOW! Instead, Harris promises that her support of Israel is the same as Biden. I am not going to vote for a supporter of genocide just because you tell me the other psychopath is worse.
So her snubbing of Netanyahu wasn't significant? Which led him to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago? Harris has indeed called for a cease-fire. But if there's an arms embargo, we will be trading one massacre for another. Without arms, Israel will be wiped off the map.
It's all a horrific situation. HORRIFIC. But if I were her, I'm not sure that I would call for an arms embargo either. I honestly wouldn't know what to do except try to broker peace.
I mean, maybe it's okay with you that Israelis should be wiped out, as perhaps you feel they shouldn't have been there in the first place. I get that. But they were a traumatized people after WWII, and Britain thought it was doing something good by giving them a home they could call their own.
Of course, It's incredible to me that Great Britain is never brought up in this discussion, as at the time they were imperialists in all of Arabia. The land wasn't theirs to give, but give it they did, and while I wasn't alive then, I'm sure it seemed like the right thing to do at the time for such a traumatized people. Take note that the Jews didn't just march into Palestine and say, "Give us this land!" They staggered in in a dazed state. It happened. It evolved.
It's all somewhat like the United States, only we TOOK this land from the American Indians. Could we get up and leave now, even though we probably should? No, because we can't. Should we be massacred for even being here? Of course not, because we were all born here and know no different, just like the Israelis, many of whom-- if not most --HATE their current leader.
What I'm saying overall is that these things aren't simple. So the fact that you're willing to see your own country fall to authoritarianism -- fall to a leader who will be far more destructive to Gaza -- over a SINGLE ISSUE tells me that you suffer from a failure of imagination. You can imagine the suffering of the Gazans, but you can't imagine getting gunned down by your own military on your own streets should you protest under Donald Trump.
I can only imagine you are very young. I don't mean that as a criticism of you personally, but of the young liberal mindset in general. I was once like you, but I was never confronted with such an existential threat to our country., either. I hope that my younger self could have seen this all clearly, but who knows.
If you don't vote for Harris and the country falls, you will live to regret your non-vote. You will watch your children grow up in a very different world than you did. And that will be on YOU, Willi. The other candidate in the election IS a psychopath, and you can tell your kids you ignored it for politics happening in another country far, far away.
I hope you will change your mind.
Oh, I looked you up and saw your dog group! I happily subscribed, and I'm eager to learn more about how it works. (Huge music fan....and dog fan...since birth. :)
P.S. It's much easier for Stein to call for an embargo because she KNOWS she will not win. I fully suspect that if she had a genuine shot at POTUS, she would be far more thoughtful about this stance, as if enacted, it would just mean trading one atrocity for another.
Kamala Harris attended a meeting organized to give her a clear chance to state her position and try to give more Michigan voters a reason to support her and give her a chance to give her position on Gaza genocide. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/amid-anger-over-israel-harris-courts-arab-and-muslim-voters-will-it-work/ar-AA1s62vZ
The general feeling is she is for the genocide, so that is why I refuse to vote for her.
My personal opinion is very clear. I do not support genocide, which includes the killing of children by starvation for any reason. It is ILLEGAL under American law to give arms to any nation that refuses to permit American humanitarian aid to be given to the ones who suffer. I was really hoping that Ms. Harris would rise to the occasion and be the peacemaker that brings a ceasefire but she is not able to do this or even state clearly her position that is more refined that "unconditional support for Israel." This war is so wrong on so many levels. I insist we stop supporting it.
I agree with you. I think it is horrible that you can’t write in, in Nevada, that is not very democratic is it. I can write in Stein and will do so in IL. I am done voting for the lessor of two evils because they are both evil. Stein and Ware are great and as you said the only peace candidates. Imagine how much more we could do for people if we did not waste so many billions on war.
A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump
Mike just pointed out that the first thing the Zion Nazi did after Kamala snubbed him was to head to Mara Lago to meet with his fascist buddy who happens to be running against her. Is Cornell West on the ballot there now that RFK Jr. is in the fascist camp?

Michael, the sad truth, which you continue to downplay, is that Harris has the same policies as Biden and the DNC. She refused to meet with the uncommitted delegates, who have refused to endorse her. No Palestinian voice was heard on the DNC stage, altho they did have time for some very questionable individuals. She courted Dick Cheney and other war criminals!! Harris has been outspoken in her "iron-clad support" for Israel, sending billions of our tax dollars for bombs to blow up children, in violation of American law, (Yes, Blinken lied, so what?), and International law. She know this. She's a lawyer. She doesn't care about human rights, she cares about US hegemony, about donations from Big money, including Zionist AIPAC, and war based industry. And she is now participating in leading us into a war which could end life as we know it on this planet. And you are pissed off about Flint's water supply, but not Genocide, and lying about it?!?
Mike just pointed out that the first thing the Zion Nazi did after Kamala snubbed him was to head to Mara Lago to meet with his fascist buddy who happens to be running against her. So who are you going to vote for?

Especially for the very detailed "facts" on the polls (which another credible source also agrees), are simply WRONG re the actual election result, which, IMO, will end up in a landslide for Harris. As you pointed out, however, no one should ever underestimate the DEPRAVED AND ILLEGAL DEPTHS that trump will sink to in his attempt to STEAL the election...remember Russian interference?

I'm starting to hate you with these repeated posts. What's the point? We get it!
Just sharing the stats, most love it.
I also am from Flint, and still have relatives there, drinking THAT water. I remember clearly Obama going there, at a podium 'drinkinking' a sip of water, telling Flint "I have your back", which it turns out he didn't. We have to keep after these politicians as if we were the million dollar donors.
I am checking with all I still know in MI. that they vote for Kamala, but then we all keep on her to do the right things, which I believe in her heart she knows. But $$ drives our country, which we must fight this system, if it is to change.
Thanks Mike for all you do.

Yes - the struggle is never over. My gay friends, feminist friends, others, and my own common sense, taught me that.
And upon reflection today, I see they were/are absolutely right. A slide backwards inevitably follows progress.One step forward will always be met with resistance, always, and for many reasons, many agendas.
So never assume the struggle is over - it hasn't been for time out of mind.
We fight for today, right now - but we also fight for the future. It is slow, it is frustrating, it will not be complete in our lifetimes, and maybe never. There is no magical happy ending - but there is progress, history tells us so. So take up the challenge with a bold heart, be today's happy warrior. Be proud of all your efforts. Someday you will pass the baton. ❤️
