Professional Democrat Party cheerleader, Psaki: "The Democratic nominee did awesome!"
Average Foxs News viewer, Joe Schmoe: "i could tell Kamala was a hologram during that entire thing."
"She got all the questions and her answers from her bluetooth earrings"
I watched the whole thing, if this is what "acing it" looks like, the Dems have big issues. (Or Donald has lowered all expectations so dramatically it is also worth a little cry in the corner). The questions were stupid, her answers meek at best. I worry for the US and I worry for the world.
Edit: the fox news interviewer was a disrespectful SOB.
Only if you're the fool who's listening to what's actually being said. If you understand that politics is about projecting confidence and steadfastness to your positions, no matter how contradictory they seem, then that's what success looks like, and a lot of people will just accept that.
Really though, the interview highlighted serious flaws in Harris' campaign, interview was 100% correct to call her out for using "a new path forward" as her campaign slogan while fully toeing the line when it comes to Biden's administration so far.
There’s no escape when the Democrats enter your bubble.
“None of you seem to understand. I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with me.”
Reduce the first sentence down to “Understand,”, then you can read it in her voice.
let's keep that going
Narrator: it wouldn't be.
