Lauren Gambino at The Guardian:

Kamala Harris pledged to earn the votes of young people this election, as the vice-president and newly elevated presumptive Democratic nominee rides a gen Z-powered wave of online “Kamalove” . In a virtual address to attendees of a two-day summit in Atlanta, hosted by the liberal gen Z-led organization Voters of Tomorrow, Harris said she had been elected the first female vice-president of the United States “because young voters showed up” in 2020. She touted “historic progress” made by the Biden-Harris administration on combating gun violence and climate change, all of which she said was again “at stake this November”. “We know young voters will be key, and we know your vote cannot be taken for granted,” she said in a pre-taped video. “It must be earned, and that is exactly what we will do.”

In the days since Joe Biden ended his presidential re-election campaign and endorsed the vice-president for November’s race against Republican nominee Donald Trump, young supporters have flooded social media with coconut tree video cuts and “brat summer” memes – a reflection of the way her candidacy has jolted a presidential race many Democrats had feared was slipping away. On the sidelines of the summit, progressive US representative Pramila Jayapal, said the level of enthusiasm she has seen for Harris in the last six days – especially among young people – was “undeniable”. “I have not seen anything like this,” Jayapal, chair of the Progressive caucus, which was divided over the question of whether Biden should step aside, said in an interview. “The closest was probably Barack Obama.” Citing the Harris campaign’s record fundraising and a surge of early support, Jayapal said: “But this is even more than that – just the amount of money that’s been raised. The fact that it’s come from grassroots donors, the fact that it’s first-time donors, the volunteers, the voter registration, it has really been palpable.”

[...] Trump made his own pitch to young conservatives in Florida, at a conference on faith hosted by the far-right youth advocacy group Turning Point Action. In his remarks on Friday, Trump vowed to “protect Christians in our schools and our military and our government and our workplaces and our hospitals, in our public square”. He also told the gathering that they would not “have to vote again” if they return him to the presidency in November’s election. “Christians, get out and vote! Just this time – you won’t have to do it anymore,” he said, denouncing the vice-president as “incompetent”. Harris, speaking earlier on Saturday at a private fundraiser in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, called the attacks on her by Trump and his running mate, Ohio senator JD Vance, “just plain weird”.

Recent polling had shown Republicans making gains with voters under 35 amid widespread disillusionment with the state of American politics, its institutions and its leaders. However, an Axios/Generation Lab poll conducted after Biden stepped down, shows Harris opening a 20-point lead over Trump with young voters. Youth-led groups that have been calling on Democrats to do more to invest in young people are hopeful Harris can harness this new energy around her campaign. Already, her campaign has leaned in, embracing an excitement Voters of Tomorrow has branded “Kamalove”.

The Kamala Harris nomination has jolted interest among Gen Z folks.

Results from the ‘Who is the tallest MDZS Character poll! Thank you all for voting!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #nie mingjue #lan wunian #lan xichen #lan wangij #poll #Thank you all for showing up with your whimsy! I saw so many funny tags and messages! What a blast it has been!!!#Nie Mingjue was the distractor answer - word of god *does* say he's the tallest but...he *was* dismembered and beheaded.#It's still a grey area though! This was all for fun after all B*)#Jin Ling uses his hair as a little lasso. Good for night hunting and asserting dominance!#Not the tallest due to his hair gel getting stuck on his hands and reducing the height of his throw during the judging.#And yes- Poorly Drawn Jin Ling is ~4cm tall. Grab you rulers out an visualize that <3 My Friday Treat for you all.#Real feminism is the fact that all the men who won did so by technically cheating and the woman (horse) did it the honest way.#Real feminism is being a horse. Everyone better start getting on that. New Year's resolution. Horse time.#My apologies to the Jin Zixuan likers (lowest votes): He's a bit of a fail wife but that's okay.#I like to imagine that It's the ghost of JYL committing voter fraud to give him pity votes.#(It is still voter fraud if a ghost votes right? Has anyone looked into the legality of ghost voting?)#Much to think about....Hey speaking of the ghosts of women: See you all tomorrow for the new poll!

Me, for the past week: Man, I am sick of fixating on [insert minor anxiety], blowing it up into a constant worry that I have repeatedly had to talk myself down from. What the fuck is up with that

November 5th:

#I've been keeping an overall calm head about it #polls are trending well despite kamala doing her best to alienate her actual voter base #trump keeps fucking up and being more awful #and there is nothing left i can do at this stage except cast my vote for blue down the ballot #and hopefully everyone else is also doing that so we can finally be done with this fucking chapter of politics #i hope they're just destroyed tomorrow. that i can go to bed at a normal time because its just a blue wave #no ambiguity just maga fucking obliterated #i doubt that will happen but as long as we keep blue we'll be good #and if not... thats for future me to roll with and figure out #does me no good to stress myself out about it until after we have results #but holy fuck am i sick of thinking about politics and this election put me out of my misery #us politics

Hey USAmerican followers: if you are eligible, please for the love of all that is good, go vote tomorrow if you haven't already voted early. There's so much on the line not only nationally, but internationally given how powerful and influential the US is on a global scale. Everyone presently worried about what the future might hold under a wannabe-fascist dictator wants you to do your part in preventing that outcome.

No matter what anyone tells you, voting is important and you should do it. If it didn't matter, why are many conservative politicians fighting tooth and nail to make it harder for you to vote? Of course, voting's not the only way to do your civic duty- getting involved in mutual aid, volunteering for causes and movements that matter to you, showing up for local politics, and many other ways are all important too!- but it's a damn good start and means a lot when it comes to elections this important.

#politics #us politics #seriously get to the polls tomorrow if you didn't vote early #and check your state's voter info site for more information on what you need to know!#not sure if you're registered? check it! not registered but in a state where day-of registration is possible? find what you need to do so!#there are systems in place to help you make sure you can vote and they are absolutely worth using #i used my state's site to get a digital preview of the ballot i'll use tomorrow so i know for certain what's on it #so go vote. go do it. and see if your state offers leave from work to vote if you need to.

ballot: cast

time to try and ignore the Anxiety by watching youtube and working on the comic

#braindumps.txt #i live in a deep red state #but i am Hopeful because we have a population under one million #and there was a huge surge in voter registration this year #if nothing else. abortion is on the ballot and i hope we can get our rights back in that regard #but i really really have to just. ignore all the election stuff today #because if i focus on it too hard im going to be in a Very Bad Place mentally #and my birthday is tomorrow i dont want to ruin that #or my sleep beforehand.

i'm not at ALL asking that we model our political campaigns any further on US politics than we do already... but there are incredibly pivotal elections in Saxony in a MONTH and the only sign of it is election posters - and the extreme right has clearly spent way more money on those than all the other parties. For every lamp post with a Green party or SPD poster, there's another lamp post with FIVE AfD posters in my neighbourhood, or one for a tiny extreme-right splinter party full of batshit insane claims like "Free State (official term for the state of Saxony) instead of caliphate". The AfD paid for huge posters all along the university campus, which is so concerning to me. Also, every month or so there's some bizarre AfD party newspaper or flyer in my mailbox. Only AfD.

On state news, it's CRICKETS. On the mdr website, there's one big header, and it's about the summer holidays.

I got my voting papers in the mail yesterday. I live in the state capital. Where are the reports? Where are the politicians? Where are the public events? Am I *that* out of touch with public life here and they're happening and I just haven't heard about it?

I honestly feel insane. Polls are saying we might get a majority for the AfD and uh. Where is everyone? Elections are in THIRTY-ONE days and nobody seems to be having a conversation about it what the fuck

#they're planning a big demonstration on 25th of august and like #that's great!#it will not change the mind of the voters who don't go to these things and have been convinced the left are all hooligans #why aren't we fact checking afd promises??#half their posters promise to change things that are federal business. it has nothing to do with this election #ONE relevant talk at the big museums #the conservaties are holding a beergarden chat with the minister president #the green party is apparently starting their campaign tomorrow but the saxonian spd literally says 'NO EVENTS' on their website #like guys i know it's looking dire but IS IT ANY WONDER IF YOU DROP THE BALL THIS HARD #politics #germany #saxony #sachsen #WHY
