The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.

“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.

        More like they’ll actually be motivated to show up at the polls or not throw their vote away on Joe Exotic because they’re threatened by women of color.

      they were already united.

      this is about mobilization and harris may be able to bring a wider, deeper pool of voters to the polls. I can tell you, where I am, there is absolutely no fire or enthusiasm for biden and we will miss warm bodies at polls pulling D levers because of it.

        There are a lot of people that don’t realize they are sexist, or racist. They are surrounded by people that all also don’t realize they are racist, or sexist but they will start finding all the flaws in them. They won’t say "I don’t trust a woman as president " but they will coincidently find other flaws in the person because they are involuntarily being more critical of them.

        The point is, there are racist and sexists voting for Biden that wouldn’t vote for Kamala. They just don’t realize they are sexist.

        I live in rural Arizona. I am essentially an expert on these types of people.

          Okay yes that’s a thing. It’s also a thing that kids who would be too discouraged to vote at all would vote for Harris. We can’t really know how that would shake out exactly, because both groups are hard to quantity.
