Unfortunately that plays well to a lot of stupid people. And in swing states there are enough of them that he can still get another EC win while losing the popular vote by a lot.

It plays well to a lot of spiteful people. Who just want to see the systems that have wronged them be destroyed in fire and brimstone, rather than be improved.

That I understand. I've been there, but that isn't the solution. It doesn't lead to more happiness.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No, but it's a lot easier than waiting for things to get better. Which always takes agonizingly long. Even if you do your best to help it along.

Everything has to be connected to the deeper case that Ms. Harris is weak and a phony and doesn’t truly care about the country or the middle class. The scattershot Trump attacks on Harris need to be refocused on these character attributes.

Even the argument as stated in the essay is pretty stupid. Yeah the John Kerry Sail Surfing angle probably won't work on her. Sorry.

It's more that the owning family is incredibly wealthy, and believes in regularly presenting their viewers with right-wing views.

Not gonna click on the article but I'd bet this is Maureen Dowd.

They actually brought in somebody who isn't a regular columnist to make this claim; even Dowd isn't this bonkers.
