OT: American Politics

The right did a phenomenal job of pivoting from the party that owned AM radio with Rush, to owning the top of the podcast charts while the left slept on its value, and kinda just stuck to politically wonky left podcasts, versus the more mainstream shows.

Unlike you, I don't just pick a side and blindly follow everything they do. There's plenty I hate about the left. And there's not much I like about maga.

Thou art so holy and superior, I bow down.

lol I was very interested in Andrew Yang. I was very interested in and supportive of RFK. Hardly conservatives. There's plenty I hate about the traditional war-mongering right.
 
The key in these long form interviews is that it can't just be 3 hours of policy debate. They end up talking about all kinds of things and it humanizes people that are typically known as one thing. That was always what made Stern interviews so great back in the day.

The benefit is you get to show people who you really are. I am sure Kamala is a smart, likeable person with good stories. She's lived a hell of a life. It would have been fine.

Didn't have to be Rogan. but he just has the biggest platform.

Left has become risk averse. Young men stay away.

Hey she did do a long Stern interview!

But no one listens to that. And the people who do are already voting for her. So yeah, it probably had to be a Rogan type to get any positive impact.

I agree. I can see Joe Rogan "cornering her" about her McDonalds stint. And she would give a 5 min answer 'it was fun but the worst part was cleaning the grease trap, blah blah"

Ultimately, we all know Kamala was not an ideal candidate (she might have been great at governing).

She barely registered 5 years ago...but she was still better than current half dead Joe

The winning formula was finding enough people to turn out to vote against Trump.It almost worked.

The problem with Kamala is that she makes everything sound so corny and uncool. The opposite of Trump. Honestly just don't think she was the right candidate to beat trump this year. No matter what the Dems did, it was always an uphill battle between the gender thing and the clear societal shift across the globe.

Which was always my concern when I saw the polls back up the "vibes". I didn't feel there was enough there to be confident.
