Lemmi-nistas are out in full force pretending Kamala didn’t run a horrible campaign.

She offered nothing for working class and then refused to sit down with Rogan.

As much as I hate the guy he has a broad reach but I don’t think it would have changed a damn thing if she sat with him.

If she smoked a fat one that took some of that corporate frost out of her I’d take a second look.

What matters is - he’s got huge mostly Republican audience and she could have used it to raise ideas.

For free.

That’s a law in this country - platform must be provided to both parties and she didn’t take her chance.

This just emphasizes that she was a bad candidate and she can’t talk without teleprompter.

That law only applied to broadcast television, not cable or Internet stuff fyi.

I dunno man, I was gonna try to use the $25,000 down payment assistance to buy a duplex but now instead I’ll be paying out the ass for everything because of those fucking tarrifs. The only thing Trump did for the working class was insult them with his pathetic McDonald’s stunt, and then clumsily climbed into the passenger side of a garbage truck to show off what a pile of garbage he is.

pathetic McDonald’s stunt

but it worked. the stunt worked.
i am just amazed democrats couldnt come up with similar thing.

FFS - kamala could have setup a lemonade stand near some factory and talked to workers.
She could have worked in a soup kitchen one day and do small talk with homeless people - media would eat that up.

or offer some new policies from Bernie playbook - like mandatory vacations and single payer medical.

instead - all we got was complete and utter lack of initiative. lazy ass dem leadership is completely useless

Raising a billion dollars in a matter of months and then pissing it away just as quickly, so you can lose in a landslide, with nothing material left behind that anyone might have been proud of.

We do it every couple of years, and it always feels like such a fucking waste.

$25,000

that was a fraud proposal. dems would have never been able to pass it and they know it.
just like student loans - it would have been killed in congress or senate.
The idea behind such proposals - is then democrats could just blame republicans “see - we tried it, but those GOP mean sunova bitches”.
but dont even worry about it. kamala or not - you would have never seen this money.

Refusing to sit down with Broprah is something to be admired. Not admonished.

With you on the first line, but sitting down with Rogan would not have changed anything. Especially with Rogans preferential treatment of right wing figures if anyone’s been paying attention. But the DNC 100% fucked up.

FUCK JOE ROGAN. He is a dipshit. You are too for listening to him seriously.

The problem Is that he is a dipshit a lot of people listen to. And Kamala had a chance to reach those people and try to change their ideas or at least make them aware of her ideas, but she refused so they never had a chance to begin with

He is a dipshit with a huge audience who seems to always blindly agree with whoever he’s talking to.

She can’t talk - that’s the problem.

Democrats hiding Biden condition until he had to drop out - is the problem.

Democrats not holding quick primaries when Biden dropped out - is the problem.

Democrats running Clinton in 2016 - is the real problem. If Biden had run back then he would have likely won and Trump would never have tried again after that. He would’ve been humiliated.

Yes, that was the end of her campaign for sure, not sitting down and chatting with the must gullible, misogynistic meathead alive.

I imagine it would have gone something like this.

Yeah there would’ve been no defending this if it happened. Rogan controls the mics and would do whatever he could to end her campaign right there. Maga would post all over X (with Elon’s amplification) that she got “owned” as Rogan shouted over her her, and the left would be angry that she appeared on his show in the first place. It would have been a pure loss.

Who gives a damn, it’s Republican listeners base is what is important.
She can’t handle those high pressure meetings makes her a bad candidate. I mean the whole reason she was even running is Biden assigned her by decree, she would have never won in the fair primaries and that’s what Democrats should have done.

Did you even listen to the audio where he was just yelling over the lady and didn’t ever give her a chance to say anything?

Do you think that would have been in any way productive?

Considering how many previous Dem voters stayed home, trying to play to moderate RINOs she’d have never gotten anyway was clearly not the right play

That was staged, he never actually worked at all. Harris had actually been an employee there previously. No idea why the campaign didn’t take that obvious win, but to call it a smart stunt for Trump is asinine

The Democratic campaign underestimated just how stupid, racist, and misogynistic the average US citzen is. Don’t get me wrong, they should’ve known and definitely could’ve ran a better campaign, but this is mostly on Americans being too dumb to know what’s best for them.

I personally don’t blame any minorities, considering white men and women were by far the most prominent Trump voters. The US is a country of racist dumbasses.

You lose 100% of chances not taken.

I think she could have went to the show and talked about what’s important to working people

One of these is unforgiveable. But also, after liberals went absolutely apeshit over Bernie sitting down with Rogan, I can see why Harris was hesitant.

I also remember when people were very excited about student debt relief and an increased min wage and the Green New Deal jobs program and finally putting an end to Kids In Cages and Gitmo and the ugly foreign wars and… Oops.

She did literally every other thing she could to court Republicans in the past two months and didn’t care that it pissed off a chunk of her base, why stop there? (OTOH it won her zero R votes, so there’s that. I’m sure they won’t try THAT tactic again. /s)
