I know we're months away still, but one thing I find frustrating is that you just don't see political ads from the democrats that simply show clips of these conferences and interviews. The GOP has been running this ad in Michigan where they show Harris saying "The border is secure" super imposed over images of migrants coming in by the dozens. It's highly effective. The same should be cakewalk for the dems where you can literally just show Trump yelling about "ending voting" or "being a dictator on day 1" or Vance saying that women belong at home (never mind the fact that his very own wife is a successful lawyer--yet more evidence that he actually believes in nothing).

Democrats have a strong history of running the nice campaign under the assumption that people will see through the moron they're running against. But that strategy collapsed in 2000, 2004, and 2016. I don't know why they're so bad at elections, but they need to wake the fuck up and fast.

As an aside I think it's fairly interesting that pro-family policies have been gaining traction among the GOP. If they would wake up and realize there's no going back to 1950, there might be some room for progress and compromise there. Not at all hopeful about that, but it seems like there's some convergence on both side of the aisle that the status quo sucks. Though my personal belief is that the only pro family policy that could ever do anything to actually encourage families is to fix the housing crisis. To me that is the single biggest domestic policy issue out there and it gets virtually no play.
