strategist for the Kamala Harris Presidential Campaign
not something I would want to take credit for, but hey
Failing upward always makes me smile because I picture people hilariously falling against gravity and against their will and they look terrified.
People who don't follow politics obsessively like we do will likely see that and think "Oh she worked for the campaign of the current VP," not "Oh she worked for that campaign that dropped out before getting a single vote because it fucked up all of it's early momentum."
Not to defend a member of the KHive, but she doesn't come from a wealthy background. She was raised by a single mom who struggled with addiction, is a first gen college student, and was homeless in high school.
How the fuck is she so rich now then? Apparently she roasted some republican senator in a town hall in 2017, did it all just snowball from that? It's weird.
"You're good at insulting Republicans, and we can't let that stand in the Democratic party, so we're going to get you to stop by hiring you"
It would be so fucking hilarious if someone got Biden to sing the troll song on live TV or a rally or something
" own your power and expertise" — dear god they commodifying everything into "ownership."
Meh, might as well have said"be proud of", but yeah the fact that the word "own" has gotten that meaning is a bit cringe
I was a chief strategist for the John Delaney campaign. It was my idea to get him swole to impress Iowan housewives. It did not work. AMA.
I'm sure it worked buddy, I've seen people on twitter swooning over him, there just weren't enough housewives
Is "strategist" being used meaningfully here, or is it resume-speak for "I booked a space on campus and emailed back and forth with the Harris campaign"?
They reached out to me because I was a young, hip Democrat with 500k followers and I wore her swag!
im gonna go out on a limb and say kamala isn't sitting down with this chick every night to talk about healthcare.
lets be real, they wanted an influencer with a nice story and this is who they picked. theres a million other things they could have done if they actually cared about improving anyone's life.
shout out to her for being able to capitalize on her looks after a difficult upbringing, but theres a lot of girls out there in worse positions with more useful things to say than "just turn yourself into a brand rep! life is easy if you let the establishment use your struggles as a publicity tool!"
My bet is that she communicated with the local campaign organizers and was given some title.
I'm old enough to buy beer and I'm dumb as shit, what's your point
What do you all mean the Kamala Harris campaign was a failure? It was a spectacular succes. It brought her from being a weird woman nobody liked to bring in a position where the only thing standing between her and the presidency is the health of a sundowning septuagarian.
exactly. it's a bit of a weird take to say she lost/failed, she did much better than bernie in winning influence and power for the election cycle.
Hahahahahaha.
You mean the Vice President who got 5th in her home state and dropped out before
Super Tuesdaythe caucuses?Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha
Kamala’s presidential campaign failed spectacularly where she couldn’t even make it to Iowa despite having received the most money from big dollar donors, why would you brag about that?
I know I'm not dead yet because the suffering would have already ended if I was.
Honestly, I could probably say I was consultant to Bernie Sanders' campaign, seeing that I showed up at an Indiana strategy meeting in January 2020.

Okay so the latest gold rush is influence, literally every organization that wants an internet presence (mainly tiktok lately) is scooping up anyone who grow an account to 100k+ followers (pretty easy on tiktok) and giving them titles of "Digital Strategist", "Content Optimiser", it's not a fucking talent - it's cool - but it's definitely not like you've done anything special to do that.
Can't wait for the bubble to come crashing down like the dotcom bubble.
