While I've honestly been trying to tune out the election shit, I was streaming the world series feed (through completely legal means I can assure you) from a Fox station in Florida. Much to my dismay, I was completely bombarded by these ads saying Trump supports amendement 3 which would legalize weed in the state. I scroll on social media for like 5 mins later on and I see this fucker on Joe Rogan.
Its a pretty clear attempt at targeting independent socially moderate/liberalish fiscally conservative independent bros that, honestly exist and could decide the election if its close. All while Kamala is really leaning into winning over "dick cheney democrats" that dont exist outside of focus groups in the beltway.
Im calling it now. Trumps winning again.
you make a compelling case.
my only counter argument is that if you look at the 2022 elections and all the referendums on abortion, they all over-performed for democrat and pro-abortion positions. if that happens again (and I think it will because most people have not gotten to respond to the repeal of Roe vs Wade through voting yet) I think Harris will win.
either outcome will be funny though.
The campaign hardly ever mentions abortion it's really strange
they don’t have to anymore. somehow it’s become gospel among libs that the dems will save federal abortion despite all contrary evidence
It's amazing honestly
"We will codify roe v Wade" lol no you won't you literally controlled the presidency and both chambers of the legislature
I dunno, they're not really leaning into abortion as an issue and they've got Kamala saying (about trans rights) that "she'll follow the law." I have a hard time imagining that's not the rhetoric they're gonna carry over for other similar issues - or at least that people won't link it themselves
Abortion is such a slam fucking dunk issue too. Why the fuck is she not screaming about this from the rooftops? Is there a weak point on this issue that we dont know that could be a scandal in bringing up abortion?
They mentioned it a lot at the DNC and there was a couple powerful ads about it recently. I'm not sure why they're not mentioning it more at rallies and stuff, but it does seem to be their main winning issue. Well, now they I think about it, they did bring the woman from one of the ads to one of their recent rallies (a woman who couldn't get an abortion for a baby who couldn't survive and got an infection and may now never get pregnant). I actually think it's enough to carry her over the top, but it'll definitely be closer than it should be.
