OT: American Politics

Because of his snappy catchphrases and lack of specifics! Why did we need Kamala to get so specific?

What specific policy did she have other than she grew up with a single mother and held two jobs?

That was the only policy I ever heard her discuss.

That's the beauty of it. She didn't need to get specific at all!! Slogans would have worked for her too! Like some mentioned by AOC at the convention

"Trump is a two bit union buster"
"Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing palms of his Wall Street friends"

While trump was working at McDonald's and doing a presser in a garbage truck, Kamala was talking policy and defending herself from his attacks. Maybe the lesson is that capturing your audience is way more important than telling Americans your plan?

helped by a ridiculous media of course but still amazing.

Haha, ya sure. The not so artful dodger blatantly evading any question on policy was a staple of her campaign.

I think I saw her painfully and pathetically dodge the inflation question alone a dozen times.

but also need policy ones about class and evil technobros and union busting....I'm sure AOC had some ones already written

of course, Team Kamala wouldn't want to offend anyone -- some of their best friends are billionaires

Hey I'm not saying she was great! I'm just saying I don't think talking more policy would have gotten her a w. Trump's campaign was an absolute circus. And beyond him going on popular podcasts (which was brilliant), the McDonalds and garbage truck events were pretty damn impressive. He's a showman. And tbh, I'm not sure how many people could have beaten him this year.

Everything is made much, much easier when you have an entire media machine helping to drive your narrative.

It's kind of like being a real estate mogul and inheriting your first half billion in real estate.
