Harris and Walz whip up crowd at packed Phoenix rally – but ‘we are the underdog’
Guardian ^ | Fri 9 Aug 2024 22.29 EDT | Cecilia Nowell

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz rallied a packed arena outside Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday – drawing perhaps the largest Democratic crowd of the election cycle this year.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, her running mate and the local leaders who joined them on stage whipped up the crowd, discussing immigration, abortion rights and Indigenous sovereignty.

Noting the Indigenous leaders in the room, Harris also said: “I will always honor tribal sovereignty and respect tribal self-determination.” Indigenous voters are credited with helping deliver Arizona to Joe Biden in 2020; the state is home to 22 federally recognized tribes.

At one point during her speech, Harris was interrupted by protesters chanting “free, free Palestine” and other messages in support of Gaza. She stopped her speech to address the protesters.

“We’re here to fight for our democracy, which includes respecting the voices that I think we are hearing from. Let me just speak to that for a moment and then I’ll get back to the business at hand,” she said. “I have been clear: now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done. Now is the time. And the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home.” Her statement represented a noticeable change in tone from her approach to Gaza protesters in Detroit on Thursday.

Boris Johnson won the UK Conservative Party an 80 seat majority in 2019.

That party just gave Labour + LD a 362 seat majority, because the UK Conservative Party did nothing they promised to do, and everything they promised NOT to do.

This story, more or less, is about to repeat itself here.

NewsWeak Lies:

The setup for the Tulsa rally included an outdoor stage that was left unused as well as unused overflow areas with large screens for viewing Trump's speech.

The above doesn't even pass the laugh test.

That pic has been found to be a fraud from 2016. Not saying that paying attendees isn’t happening (it probably is) but we need to be careful about posting memes like that and research a little (something I’m guilty of not doing nearly enough!). Let’s not give “them” something to use against us.

End times stuff! People are being given over to a reprobate mindset.

I wouldn’t worry about it. This forum is like Cheers minus the atmosphere, beer and pub music. No one’s mind is being changed. People mostly believe what they want to believe, anyway.

How soon we forget.

On election Eve 2016 Nate Silver had Hillary 95% chance of winning. All the polls had her winning 2016. She lost because she believed the polls. IOW, there was no need to cheat.

The $2m spent is allegedly from FEC filings. I’m taking the New York Times’s word for it, and won’t bother spending the half hour or more needed to look into the filings, but you’re welcome to do so.

The native tribes already have a great deal of sovereignty, so I don’t know why she is raising the issue. Does she want to give them more land? Veto power over actions on non-tribal land? In my area, the tribes already have rights that no one else has such as the right to sell fireworks, to sell tax-free cigarettes, and operate full-service casinos.

Trump is a moderate. The left deserves a Pinochete.

“Despite the large crowd, Harris reminded attendees: “We are the underdog.””

I don’t know about the under part, but they are definitely the rabid dogs. And the only humane thing to do....

is put them out of their misery. Trump/Vance plans to do just that this November.
