  • I watched the fox interview straight through, as someone who voted for her already, and was shocked that the interviewer didnt sound like a crazy person, and kamala didnt answer a single question she was asked.

    Fox and co didnt have to make her look bad, she did a great job of it sounding like a salea person or brand marketer. Trump sitting down for unscripted podcast interviews helped a ton. At least trump wasn’t hiding who he is.




  • They didnt reject her because she’s a woman. She was a bad candidate, just like Hilary. Bad performance, whether thats on her or her team who knows. Noones going to vote for someone purely because they think its fun to have a woman in the white house. Thats extremely low on peoples list of concerns for presidency.


  • Nobody operates on facts alone. Unless you were there when it happened, you have to trust a source to some degree.

    Quite a lot of people just say fuck it, if its all varying degrees of shit, I’m not going to listen to any of it.

    Thats how word of mouth type stuff ends up on fox news, because even they know a lot of right wing Americans wont trust professional news stories over their neighbors anecdotes.

    We might think we use better sources, and check into things more vigorously, but our conclusions still require faith as much as any republicans beliefs.

    We still haven’t even figured out how to refute religion conclusively, for example. Juries still out on whether religion is fantasy or actual reality, whether we think thats ridiculous or not.
