hot take: kamala harris isn't as dumb as she wants you to think she is.
yes, you read that right.
her entire career as a prosecutor was built on reading and probing people.
if you can't win by laying out the facts, you win on creating perception.
you create a story.
when Kamala does a funny accent, laughs too much, or repeats a slogan - she's creating a narrative about herself.
these are not emergent accidents in her political journey, like Trump speaking his mind and hitting a controversial note, or Biden tripping down a flight of stairs.
she is in control of the story being told about her.
this is why she has almost completely stopped saying "the unburdened by what has been" line in the last 60 days.
the mockery has already been made, the well has been dried - it has reached the point of diminishing returns in terms of right wing press coverage.
she, of course, gains from a completely manufactured "uninterested" left-wing press (do we really think *nobody* on the left wants to interview her, and isn't frustrated by the lack of access?)
but her coverage from a right wing press standpoint is almost solely focused on either:
a) completely impossible to legislate campaign promises like unrealized gain taxes, or $25000 housing credits
or
b) her new gaffe/accent/repeated line-of-the-week
coverage of either of these things has zero effect on independent voters.
this coverage/commentary does not make an even SLIGHTLY informed voter lean decisively against her
they are also such milquetoast subjects at this point that they won't galvanize republicans to turn out en masse as well
you want to know what democrats/left wing establishment were most worried about, but have almost completely memory-holed?
the 1st trump assassination attempt
zero coverage on ANY network on the shooter's motives, and hardly a mention from Trump himself in about 4 weeks until the 2nd failed attempt
trump not leaning into his 1st assassination attempt is quite possibly the biggest self-own in american politics I have ever seen
meanwhile, kamala and a highly coordinated group of democratic operatives are running one of the most impressive operations of political persuasion I have ever seen
it's what was completely lacking from Clinton's campaign back in 2016, but what was learned from Biden's successful "basement" strategy in 2020.
this is what will likely lead to Kamala in the whitehouse in 2024, barring any unforeseen story regarding her that she can't get coordinated responses and handling of
want to try and make a difference as an individual that can't stand her and her backers?
stop focusing on what she says/doesn't say, and focus on who she is and what she does.
she grew up with two professors as parents.
her father was a post-Keynsian economist who wrote dissertations on Marxism.
start deeply researching what both those terms and fields of study imply, and educate yourself and your community on the absolute travesty they have wrought in their wake
and i'll keep making the videos long after the election ✌️
