I do worry this is a honeypot or something.

That’d be nice but I’m thinking even simpler things that expose the MAGA-cares-about-Americans lie and avoid third rail topics. The point is to punch fatal holes in Trump’s power. Overreaching is the easiest way to blow any lead that we gain. I don’t want to sound like Seth Moulton but we’re going to get much farther by picking the right battles. The MAGA base feeds on culture war bullshit so don’t give it to them.

• Tax the rich. Progressive tax schemes.
• Housing affordability
• Restore ACA, Medicaid
• Restore SNAP (and flood the news with enough legit Trump corruption stories that they don’t dare say the name “Minnesota”)

If you want to go international, start with Ukraine and Iran. We don’t even need to investigate the kompromat. Just pass a bill with undeniable support for Ukraine - missiles, intel, etc.

Dems should start holding daily WH-style press conferences in a dedicated space. Give it enough gravitas that the right wing news can’t ignore it.

Obama was a community organizer, a Constitutional scholar, and holds a law degree from Harvard. It was his belief in the American system that gained him worldwide admiration and respect. We can’t be protesting corruption while also criticizing the incorruptible.

Yeah, it’s actually an amazing incentive to pass progressive bills that tackle affordability and inequality. Since the laws will go no where, Moderates can vote yes because they don’t have to be concerned about their leash holders. MAGA will be clearly all about culture war and oligarch power rather than their facade of caring for “real Americans”.

This is assuming the Dems can get their shit together and focus on economic and corruption issues.

America, more than ever, varies a lot by state.

I’m from New England. I vote in person because it’s fast and easy. In my urban town, everyone lives within a 5-10 minute walk of their polling location. There is never a line and it takes like 2 minutes tops. It’s a paper ballot, fill-in-the-bubble style. I had to vote absentee once: I swung through town hall and took care of it in like 15 minutes - same deal except it went in a signed and sealed envelope.

To be fair, he said “Gen Z Trump voters”, not simple Gen Z.

US here. Scan-as-you-go plus self checkout is amazing. Lay out your reusable bags in the cart when you arrive then pick-scan-bag through the store. Self checkout becomes a 2 minute process at most, no matter how many items you have and everything’s already bagged for the trip home.

Our local store (Stop&Shop) is rather trashy compared to competitors but we go there because of the fast scan and self-checkout process.

The dance thing happens in Boston. Rush hour is too crowded to do anything like that but off-hours, you’ll see it every once and a while.

I don’t think I’ve seen a preacher. They’d probably get told off.
