If she loses, it is going to be interesting to see how the shills will cope. I suspect there'll be a few days of, everyone knew it. How could the Dems put her up. Followed immediately with major Trump arrangement 24/7

The Dems bagman and fixer Marc Elias will deployed, suing virtually every elected state Republican office holder in needed states, suing to have the EC declared "unconstitutional" as being somehow unharmonious with "our democracy," etc, etc, etc.

For the Kamala town hall of undecided voters

IMO, there are no undecided voters (as between the candidates) at this point. The only undecided voters in play now are between those who will vote and those thinking of sitting it out.

I was on pReddit earlier tonight and this was the top post on the r/adviceanimals sub. Had no idea people still made this painfully unfunny shit, let alone tried to pass it off as humor. Naturally, all the top comments are barking and clapping like circus seals at le epic pwnage Kamala got on Drumpf, so I guess this is where all the real retards of the site congregate.

I'm impressed they're able to live in this fantasy world for so long.

Most polls have her up nationally and the battle ground ones are split. What is interestiung this cycle is that people are trusting prediction markets like Polymarket over pollsters, which I find to be logical.

That's why they want polymarket and other web3 bettings gone!

Question for anyone? What happens if Kamala pulls a million dollar baby while drinking or just chokes on her tongue after a long night of drinking?

I don’t think we’ve ever had a candidate for President die a few weeks out from the election. I don’t think her running mate would take over.

Kamala biopic but she's played by William Holden

I love these sort of posts as the last bastion of humor you can get from reddit nowadays is in laughing at their posts and the idiotic comments they make. One can only tell apart the DNC bots from the retarded clapping reddit seals by the level of seethe and snark, with how butthurt they are that they could potentially go back to their 2016-2020 internment camps if they don't win THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF ALL TIME.

One thing I enjoy doing is tagging posters with Reddit Enhancement Suite, it gives them a nice colorful tag so that the next time I peruse /r/all I can see the DNC propoganda machine in action. I catch and release the propoganda bot like a good steward of that shithole of an ecosystem and get to watch as they all post the same shitty gotcha tweet across multiple subs with different accounts within minutes of each other and get thousands of upvotes. At a certain point you start to wonder if any humans actually use reddit, with enough of their force tagged it all just looks like robots and subhuman brainlets, with nary a human thought to be found.

I cannot imagine how badly internal interview workshopping went for them to conclude that saying fuck and all is better than letting her play it by ear.

Well. . . that's assuming she's doing any internal interview workshopping at all. I think a couple of insiders have said that she doesn't or that she does the bare minimum for it. Given how combative she gets with her staff when everything isn't going her way, I guess they try and work around it by prepping with the interviewer instead of her.

Bitch just talk, you don’t even need to say anything: You’re a fucking politician! Just throw out feel good sound bites. How did that retard even make it through college?!

Oh, give her some slack! They've only been trying to groom her for this role for the better part of a decade!

My assumption is that, considering the time she came out with price control of some sort I think and was rightfully mocked, there is the Policy She's Been Told To Talk (all lies, or at least not what she wants to do, but largely electable) and the Policy She Wants To Do (her true feelings, but will lose her the election because it's blatantly awful/outside of what the party's voters want/will provoke a knee-jerk response).

The former is what she's drilled on, but she can't remember it in even the slightest pinch and keep her momentum going - and as a presidential candidate, on the back foot, she's under pressure 24/7. The latter is things she could say while keeping the momentum going, but it's blatantly awful stuff, and she's been firmly pressured not to say anything like that. There may be some overlap, but not anything she can pick apart safely in the moment. So when the pressure builds, she can neither say what she wants, nor what she has to.

And unfortunately, the Dems have spent the last 8 years conditioning every single one of them with a default response in that situation: Orange Man Bad. Everyone else has spent eight years building up a tolerance at best, and an instinctive revulsion at worst, to exactly that response. So Harris locks up, defaults to the basic output, and everyone else calls her out or sees straight through it.

Thing is, I don't believe she can articulate why the policies she does believe in are good or how they'd work. I think like a lot of people, she doesn't understand how many processes work like the economy or public education. Kamala Harris is the byproduct of the many sins of our political system - she's poorly informed because there's no expectation on her to know anything, she can't handle confrontation because she's never given any, and she doesn't understand the average person she represents because she's detached from reality and the consequences of her decisions.

She could just -lie-. Hell, I will go so far as to say that she -should- lie in this case if her end goal is to gain the presidency. She has done it in the past and has repeatedly shown that the truth is not a priority for her. If I were advising her and knowing this, I personally would recommend lying. (A note, analyst advisors jobs are not to push their own values, but to make the best calls considering their -employers- values).


Make it up, lie like a bastard. But she doesn't even do -that-.

The real problem is that she's not a politician, but a prosecutor. However retarded she might have been in the job, it fundamentally informs the way she thinks, which isn't in terms of policies, but in terms of accusing people of crimes, threatening punishments, and the sometimes offering plea bargains. Look at her attempts at policy in that light and it all makes a great deal more sense. She can't articulate policy because it would require her to think of people as anything other than potential criminals.
