The U.S. establishment is sleepwalking toward a crisis. An openly antidemocratic figure stands at least a 50-50 chance of winning the presidency. The Supreme Court and the Republican Party have abdicated their gatekeeping responsibilities, and too many of America’s most influential political, business and religious leaders remain on the sidelines. Unable to rise above fear or narrow ambition, they hedge their bets. But time is running out.
What are they waiting for?
They may be waiting, but the rest of us Americans don’t have to
As a fellow Oklahoman fuck Democrats here. I will be voting Harris but when I went to the Democratic booth at state fair to get Harris signs they had none. And none were coming. Also guy running the booth gave two shits about Harris getting a win. When asked how to get signs he shurg and walked away. He refused to dicuss how the Democrats could speard in Oklahoma nor any candidate I should vote for. Meanwhile Republicans had fucking 5 booths and plenty of Trump shit to sell.
Having the same problem here in Oregon. We have a large fence facing a busy street, talked to the local Democrats about hanging a banner. We could put up an 8 foot by 12 foot banner easily.
“Uhhh… have you tried Etsy?”
Let me get this straight, I’m willing to give the campaign money, for a large sign, that you could profit on, and you… just didn’t think to have that done?
Electoral College nonsense? It’s super easy to get Harris signs here in Wisconsin.
For the amount of money that flows in for elections, the party organizations are shockingly incompetent. Somehow those massively overpaid consultants are too busy to think about implementing free-advertising options to support on the ground outreach.
