Cognito-hazard, of course, but it's fascinating looking at how badly they fumbled the bag, how willing they are to identify their own flaws and failures, and how they basically knew that Kamala Harris wasn't going to get elected despite miking people for one and a half billion dollars only to piss it up the wall. Oh but it's Trump's super PACs who were colluding illegally that was the real cause for Harris' loss and they were under extremely difficult circumstances because Biden chose to pull out at the last minute, as if there wasn't a long series of internal decisions that led them directly to this situation 🙄
They are shocked that a presidential campaign for a clown who attempted a coup, who is a convicted felon, who has Hitler sympathies was successful but there's an abject lack of introspection about how they could lose against that campaign.
The entitlement is remarkable as well. They expected voters to come to them, to go to traditional media to become grateful recipients of DNC messaging, and they couldn't be fucked pursuing Joe Rogan and they legitimately queried whether Rogan would have brought his podcast to Harris rather than her going to him, like he is some mainstream media corporation just champing at the bit to have the privilege of attending a dem press conference.
Love how they were totally fine with throwing trans people under the bus too. What a home run, abandoning trans people and chasing the right-wing voters while alienating the left-wing voters and telling them that they need to avail themselves to DNC propaganda while surrendering their votes unconditionally. A winning strategy if there ever was one!
I only have about 20 mins left in this but do you want to guess how many times they have mentioned Palestine?
Honestly, the interview is all over the place. Yes, Biden pulling out in July and handing a steaming pile of shit to Kamala is not ideal. But her decision to stay loyal because of the “norms” is why they are dumb and deserved to lose. There’s no political savviness to the leader of the campaign, and therefore they couldn’t differentiate themselves from the administration. Also, how dog shit is it that she’d have to worry about administration staff bringing receipts or countering her arguments if she wanted to split with the campaign.
Zero mention of Palestine, I’m not quite finished.
Also, whether Joe was running in 2024 or not, you all are not running the administration with an eye to winning the next 4 years? Are these people fucking idiots? Why not spend more political capital on popular progressive measures. Worse comes to worse, you lose but people get Medicare for all. Instead we get dogshit policies, a weak economy, and losing the White House, house and senate.
But don't you see, Kamala had zero recognition in the public eye. She was completely on the back foot; as the second most important politician in American bourgeois democracy, nobody knew who she was.
It's the circumstances which are to blame, okay??
