What if the #presidential #race isn’t really that #close after all?
The #Media claims the #polls show #VicePresident #KamalaHarris and #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump, neck and neck, but Harris has a good chance of winning a clear victory.

— Political campaigns and groups don’t spend significant amounts of money on elections unless they’re genuinely competitive. The media, fully aware of this dynamic, tends to emphasize the closeness of races because they understand how their narrative influences public interest and where their advertising revenue comes from.
#HarrisvsTrump: Big #swing in #betting as #heavyweight #pollster reveals a #major #move in #presidential #race.

#VicePresident #KamalaHarris, #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump Head in Different Directions as #Presidential #Campaigns Enters their Final Phase
#Democrats feel #optimistic heading into the final weeks of the #PresidentialCampaign, bolstered by powerful #campaign #events and prolific #fundraising. For #Republicans, the news hasn’t been as good at all!
#VP #KamalaHarris Shouldn’t Have To #Prove Her #Blackness—#JanetJackson’s Recent #Comments Show Why.
Harris is one of the most #decorated, #educated, #experienced, and #knowledgeable #candidates in the #presidentialrace. So why are folks still #bickering over the #color of her #skin?

#MacaCasado Is Leading #VicePresident #KamalaHarris' #Efforts to #Engage #Latine #Voters.
#Supporting Harris in her #historic #run for #president means that Casado and her team are trying to think of "unprecedented" ways to "#talk with the #community,"
https://www.popsugar.com/identity/maca-casado-kamala-harris-campaign-interview-49394131
— "Talk with" instead of "Talk to," the first suggests a dialog, the second suggests more of a one-sided conversation.

#LetterstotheEditor: #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump is actually a #threat to #democracy. It’s #OK to #speak the #truth
While I’ve been #critical of #columnist #JonahGoldberg in the past, he hit the nail on the head regarding #political #rhetoric in this year’s #election, particularly regarding the #truth behind former President #Trump being a “#threat to #democracy.”
#ConvicteFelon #DonaldTrump #amplifies #racist #lies, giving neo-#Nazis 'real #power.' Where are #GOP #leaders?
It's not the first time the #Republican front man has planted his flag on the same side as #neoNazis and #whitesupremacists with his #hateful #rhetoric.

#RuthBenGhiat found #DonaldTrump's and #ShadyVance's #hateful #rhetoric has taken a "really #disturbing" #turn.
— The #FarRight has always been about using #Codewords, symbols, and #DogWhistles, like Trump's raised fist (#AryanFist) in most pictures of him. The same goes for terms like #ReMigration.
#MAGA's #Nazi #infestation just got a whole lot #worse!
How unsurprising is it that #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump appeared recently at an event supposedly devoted to #opposing #antisemitism -- and proceeded to deliver a #speech dripping with #antisemitic #innuendo and #contempt for #American #Jews?

@Susan_Larson_TN It helps that Allred is generally extremely moderate, a true Texas Democrat in the Ann Richards tradition. There will be Republicans who vote for him because he is not Ted Cruz.
@geographile All texans should not vote for Ted "Fled to Cancun" Cruz
