    It’s keeping them off balance. They were already thrown off by the switch in candidates. Keep them this way for the next three months, and Democrats will win. The alt-right doesn’t play defense, but they’ve been forced to the last few weeks. They’re really bad at it.

    Things that we know about that will help:

    • Democratic Convention is the time when Democrats get to own that particular news cycle
    • Trump sentencing in the hush money trial on Sept 18
    • Marijuana rescheduling (comment period is over, which is the last step before a review of those comments followed by a ruling)
    • JD Vance dropping from the race, blunting any argument that Democrats are chaotic and aimless with the switchover
    • JD Vance staying in the race, because he’s JD Vance

    These might not be enough on their own, but they’re the one’s we know about. Keep hammering “weird” and take other opportunities, and there you go.
