born on the exact same day and year: June 22, 1949! Two great women!

Hello! We are part of a research team at The New School for Social Research. We are conducting a survey of registered Democrats (aged 18 and over) in the month leading up to the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, and asks about your voting preferences and experiences so far this election year. In the second part of the survey, we also ask questions about you and your background, without asking you to share any identifying information. Thanks for considering participating!

https://newschool.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5tGOf50BRCwslJc

The survey is completely confidential. If you have any questions, you are welcome to email us. All this information and more can be found on the first page of our survey.

(Note: This was quickly deleted in the Kamala Harris subreddit so maybe discussion will be allowed here. And I voted for Warren in the 2020 primary and want to see her contributions carry to the next democratic administration. And I'm voting for Harris to be clear. Would any Warren fan sit it out?)

And I don't necessarily mean the Liz Cheney stuff, I don't mind that in the end. I mean the Mark Cuban, "Ronald Regan himself would've voted for her", business class, "opportunity economy", moderate focused, "I'm going to have a Republican or two in my cabinet" middle section of the campaign.

edit: And now "Today, I am announcing that as president, I will create a bipartisan council of advisors to give feedback on policy and inform my administration."

There's been talk of getting rid of Lina Khan (and likely some other Warren people) and Mark Cuban said he was told by the Harris campaign to say that a Harris administration won't be as litigious against business as the Biden administration has been. There are scenarios where it could work to our benefit but there's been no indication that the change in strategy supports a liberal policy agenda.

I think Harris was always going to lose some of the support Biden had with (as he called them) the "hard hats", white, male union voters like the teamsters. And the anti war vote is gone too IMO. She had to make up the votes somewhere- with moderates regardless of party affiliation. But we may look around in the first 100 days of a Harris presidency and say, "who let all of these Republicans up in here?"

I'm voting for Kamala Harris (who once had the 3rd most progressive voting record in the Senate) and not Nikki Haley, or so I think. I don't want to lose the gains Biden made at the NLRB or CFPB and think we as progressive democrats need to be on alert. But what are your thoughts now?

Rule Four is still in full effect. You may critique the party as a whole, the candidates, policies, etc. but as we've always maintained, do so with civility and the Warren rules in mind. Ask yourself, what would Liz do?

No one has uploaded the full debate and barely even clips are uploaded anywhere.

I mean the 2019 one, but I also do need the first one they hosted in January 2019.

Just thought I would mention this 2020 Senator Warren phone bank captain for Southeast Denver has been using his X peashooter in a one-two punch fighting much of the bull that is out there recently.

The first thing that is getting under my skin is the other side saying Harris is in favor of price controls. It can be a difficult thing to fight when you have even media like the Washington Post saying it! I pointed out in an X post how Author Matt Stoller and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich are pushing back on that idea. The one link goes to a blog where I part ways with someone I call a frenemy - Robert Reich and Matt Stoller are mentioned further down in the blog on DialysisEthics: X baloney fighting reply^(1+2)

The 2^(nd) thing: I mentioned Senator Warren has shown a fondness for both the FTC's Lina Khan --- and the DOJ's Jonathan Kanter In this X post^(3.) I link to a blog about a frenemy billionaire who is calling for the firing of Lina Khan (I'm starting to think the billionaire might be more enemy)

I mention all this because there is chance it could help by providing ammo for others' peashooters! May we have death to monopolization and corruption with shots from millions of peashooters! And I'll mention I'm always looking for more ammo!

I've heard people say X is a cesspool, after seeing some of the people I've bumped into, yeah I can see how they might say that. However one big reason I stay there is I like hearing from some of the writers that have impressed me:

<@>tommuellerX - NYT’s best-selling author Tom Mueller’s book ‘How To Make a Killing’ just might chronicle the worst abuse of monopoly power known to man!

<@>joshua_sisco - Love Politico Journalist Josh Sisco’s kidney dialysis noncompete article!

<@>matthewstoller – Author Matt Stoller’s book ‘Goliath’ gives a great history and overall view of the dangers of monopolization!

<@>ddayen – Author David Dayen’s book ‘Monopolized’ is another great book about monopoly power abuse! Here he is being interviewed by Goliath author Matt Stoller: interview on BIG newsletter

<@>davidsirota – Journalist and writer. Counts the black comedy ‘Don’t Look Up’ and the newsletter ‘The Lever’ among his credits.

For those without an X account:

^(1) Goliath author Matt Stoller exposes the biased reporting of the Washington Post

^(2) Blog: Kamala Harris not in favor of price controls, the FTC’s Lina Khan, etc…

^(3) 2^(nd) Blog: In response to Billionaire Reid Hoffman calling for the firing of Lina Khan

Or has she already spoken? Hopefully she speaks tomorrow — would be a major bummer if she doesn’t get a slot.

"Since JD Vance has a problem with childless women, you’d think he’d want to make it easier for parents to raise families. But he voted against protecting IVF, voted against extending the child tax credit, and once described universal child care as class war on “normal people.” Elizabeth Warren

We are losing progressive voices in the party because we are not organizing, showing up to vote, volunteer and donate. Please don't let the progressive movement get squashed by billionaires and foreign countries that don't want to see our government strengthen the working class through public programs like Medicare for ALL, Social Security, universal childcare, free higher education etc..

"We need a big push of investment so we can ensure housing for everyone in this country. That’s why Reverend Raphael Warnock, Rep. Cleaver, and I have introduced the American Housing and Economic Mobility Act of 2024. Here are a few things it’ll do: Create nearly 3 million housing units Reduce rents for lower- & middle-income families by 10% Limit the role of private equity in the housing market Increase the amount of accessible housing Help 1st-time, 1st-generation homebuyers w/down-payment assistance" Elizabeth Warren

Great article, read and get ready!! "You are at risk. We are all at risk. Because this is what I know: bad things are coming. We are in a code red emergency.Because misogyny isn’t bad people saying bad things that may hurt your feelings. (Though it might.) And misogyny isn’t about silencing women. (Though it does.)Misogyny is now one of the deadliest weapons on Earth. Misogyny is a dirty bomb in the heart of our information system. Misogyny is electoral interference. Misogyny is a national security threat so lethal we can’t even see it.Because misogyny is invisible. It’s never about all women, it’s always just about one particular, disagreeable woman who just happens to not be very likeable. Or competent. Who is loud or “shrill” or annoying or who got the job because she slept with a man. Or because she was a diversity hire. A woman who can’t even run her own house let alone a country. A woman who is “nasty”. A woman who isn’t and cannot be the strong leader a nation needs.Enjoy the sunshine of the Kamala moment. Breathe in the clean fresh air of facts, of evidence, of information. Of hope."

Not that it was unexpected, but still! I’m looking for any and all signs of Dem unity 🇺🇸

It was filmed back in April but they talk about some relevant subjects regarding age of politicians.
