        As much as I hate the guy he has a broad reach but I don’t think it would have changed a damn thing if she sat with him.

              I was a never Trump. It was a minor miracle that we got Biden to step down. I accepted that Harris was the best we could do. I kept my mouth shut when she said she was pro fraking. I kept my mouth shut when she didn’t condemn Israel. I kept my mouth shut when she cozied up to Dick and Liz Cheney. Harris and the DNC have lost the fucking plot and if she went off script on the Rogan show and offered her true opinions that would have been inspirational. Fuck, even Obama’s very active endorsement couldn’t save her.

          FFS - kamala could have setup a lemonade stand near some factory and talked to workers. She could have worked in a soup kitchen one day and do small talk with homeless people - media would eat that up.

          Raising a billion dollars in a matter of months and then pissing it away just as quickly, so you can lose in a landslide, with nothing material left behind that anyone might have been proud of.

          We do it every couple of years, and it always feels like such a fucking waste.

            I’ve been waiting since quite some time before the election for you to tell me which of the four options Hoosiers should have voted for in 2024.

            Weird that you won’t answer.

            Maybe you forgot the options and the fact that candidates have to declare themselves as write-ins, but no one did so that was not an option.

            Here they are:

            I’m sure you’ll answer this time and not look like you’ve been here dishonestly, in bad faith for months.

              Vote Your Conscience. Unfortunately, the only person on the list who isn’t genocidal appears to be Chase Oliver.

              Weird that you won’t answer.

              Weird you didn’t ask until after the election.

                Chase Oliver

                Got it. You think that people should vote for a person who was to the right of Trump that wants to dismantle the whole safety net. So I guess we all know where you stand politically now.

                Weird you didn’t ask until after the election.

                That is a lie. I asked you multiple times before the election.

                But then I guess lying is the stock and trade of the far right.

                    Tell me you don’t know what a libertarian is without telling me you don’t know what a libertarian is.

                    Just FYI, privatizing everything is not to the left of Obama.

                    Of course, you know that and are trying to save face now that we all know you’re far-right.

        The problem Is that he is a dipshit a lot of people listen to. And Kamala had a chance to reach those people and try to change their ideas or at least make them aware of her ideas, but she refused so they never had a chance to begin with

          Democrats running Clinton in 2016 - is the real problem. If Biden had run back then he would have likely won and Trump would never have tried again after that. He would’ve been humiliated.

            Clinton in 1992 buddy. It’s neo liberalism all the way down.

            Neo liberalism is Reaganomics but for Democrats and Obama ran his entire 8 years on it.

            Biden at least did a little bit of progressive things before Manchin and Sienema threw their clogs into the gears. They should have been threatened to be primaried THEN. Not after holding the Senate hostage until the midterms flipped the house.

        Yeah there would’ve been no defending this if it happened. Rogan controls the mics and would do whatever he could to end her campaign right there. Maga would post all over X (with Elon’s amplification) that she got “owned” as Rogan shouted over her her, and the left would be angry that she appeared on his show in the first place. It would have been a pure loss.

          Did you even listen to the audio where he was just yelling over the lady and didn’t ever give her a chance to say anything?

          Do you think that would have been in any way productive?

            I did listen and while Rogan is unbearable to me, I do think a presidential candidate can’t say no to an invitation to someone with this reach. If the interview were to be like your link, that would have helped Harris in the end, in my opinion. It’s Joe Rogan the one acting like an idiot here, not the caller. Even if his audience may love him, I don’t know, the population that do not have any attachment for the guy would stand on Harris’ side.

      The Democratic campaign underestimated just how stupid, racist, and misogynistic the average US citzen is. Don’t get me wrong, they should’ve known and definitely could’ve ran a better campaign, but this is mostly on Americans being too dumb to know what’s best for them.

      I personally don’t blame any minorities, considering white men and women were by far the most prominent Trump voters. The US is a country of racist dumbasses.

      With you on the first line, but sitting down with Rogan would not have changed anything. Especially with Rogans preferential treatment of right wing figures if anyone’s been paying attention. But the DNC 100% fucked up.

      She offered nothing for working class and then refused to sit down with Rogan.

      One of these is unforgiveable. But also, after liberals went absolutely apeshit over Bernie sitting down with Rogan, I can see why Harris was hesitant.

      I also remember when people were very excited about student debt relief and an increased min wage and the Green New Deal jobs program and finally putting an end to Kids In Cages and Gitmo and the ugly foreign wars and… Oops.

        She did literally every other thing she could to court Republicans in the past two months and didn’t care that it pissed off a chunk of her base, why stop there? (OTOH it won her zero R votes, so there’s that. I’m sure they won’t try THAT tactic again. /s)
