The bigger point is media attention to bring his dodge of a 2nd debate back into memory. Telling it ahead of time gives you twice the coverage on it: news that you’re going to do it and coverage after the fact once you have done it

Plus you’ll get more people filming and looking out for the plane too

To save some people a click

The Harris campaign has arranged to have a small plane fly over Tuscaloosa during the game with a banner declaring, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.”

[…]

The Harris campaign will also air a national ad during one of the most highly anticipated games of college football where she calls on the former president to meet her on the debate stage one more time.

“Winners never back down from a challenge,” the ad’s narrator says. “Champions know it’s any time, any place. But losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home.”

Let’s make sure it matters

Find how to register to vote for where you are

Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online

For anyone interested in supporting those going up against the meat lobby, look into the Agriculture Fairness Aliance

Turn that into action! Volunteering is great to do as well

In fairness sometimes small tiny differences like that do turn out to be significant. But measurement error usually wins out most of the time

Help make sure the majority against it shows up at the polls

I’m not so sure it necessarily does that. I think sometimes people dooming about polls makes them think “what’s the point” and demotivates action

Certainly complacency is bad too though of course

And I still see people dooming about Rasmussen polls despite the fact that they’ve been booted from most polling agragates a while ago because of their terrible methodology and terrible transparency

FYI, you can still volunteer and donate to campaigns and such from other states. Republicans sure as hell do

There is quite a bit of time between election and inauguration. Election is early November, inauguration is in early January

Even if dems win the senate it doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily replace 100% of everyone either. Just opens the options to replace some people. I’m sure the cabinet members would be informed of how likely they are to keep their job

Note that a good chunk of the poll, people selected neutral which may very well still be a “I don’t know much about this”. Familiar can also mean “I have heard the name before”

This is if dems lose the senate control. New cabinet members have to be approved by the senate

So by keeping old cabinet members, you avoid having to go through the senate again and being blocked by republicans

For anyone who has a bit of time, I highly encourage volunteering for the campaign. Many of the methods of volunteering are about educating voters

EDIT: looks like you might not be in the US, but still recommend volunteering for progressive parties around you if you can

The new poll does not distinguish between unsure of how one feels and never heard of project 2025. (I did dig into the poll document itself too)

The poll looking at number familiar with project 2025 was months ago from a different poll

Given the stark polling, I’d imagine most of the unsure people likely just haven’t heard of Project 2025 / don’t know what’s in it

I think that’s misunderstanding the goals of those who advocate for it. Animal rights is the movement. Veganism is advocated as a means to achieve that end by stopping the support of the harm within animal agriculture & factory farming

Note: the original article was about people doing sticky notes. It’s pretty easy to clean those up without issue

Do most/many social movements not do the all three at the same time? For instance, demanding that voting rights acts should be passed while simultaneously trying to nudge people and politicians to support it

Not OP, but setting aside animal rights for a moment, the rational given here is effectively an argument against all social movements

Saying that one should not ever push or nuge someone towards what you think is right regardless of how well argued or how much of a point that you have
