  • Interesting.

    I 100% put the communication issue on the leadership.

    The difference is that when you lead a team your team does not elect you. You are in a position of power and accountable for their failures.

    Our representatives are not our leaders, they are elected by us to represent our interests. Very different power dynamic and the distinction, at least ot me, is critical. We have to make informed choices about who they are and if they will adequately act on our behalf. In order to do that we need to put effort into understanding them, their background, and their choices. It’s a bit like when you choose to purchase something or even, say, commit to living in a particular city. It’s not up to the city to adequately communicate to you why you should live there, although that certainly doesn’t hurt. It’s mainly up to you to establish whether that place is right for you.


  • All I can see is that this is why Democrats are going to keep losing because instead of coming down to talk to the people and not over them and dismissing with reports and numbers and can’t accept the fact that they have a lot of blame along with these low info voters who also have a lot to be desired.

    I agree with the sentiment, at least in principle. Democrats need to reject neo-liberal (or is it really neo-con?) policies and start meeting regular working people where they are at. To my mind both AOC and Sanders have articulated this extremely well.

    But… this is a two-way street. A lot of voters are low-information because they simply don’t prioritize voting and elections. There may be decent reasons for this but not voting or just voting for whoever says things that make you feel good in the moment is not taking responsibility as a citizen and it certainly isn’t voting for your own interests. Things don’t get better that way. We need to fight.

    I know I know… chicken meet egg.



  • I couldn’t find any podcast with her, so I barely knew who she actually was.

    LOL. I can see how this might be a problem for you. Do you make major life decisions this way too?

    “I couldn’t find a podcast detailing the make and model of car I was interested in, so I really couldn’t make a decision and decided I would just have to stay home. I was PARALYZED I tell you!”

    “I was trying to decide between two job offers but no podcast was available so I just stayed unemployed”

    People type in “Kamala Harris policies”, yet, you could barely find anything

    You mean like the very first result here: https://kamalaharris.com/issues/

    I grant, it requires you actually READ. How troubling.



  • “Kamala is part of the Biden administration, which most people, in my opinion, found to be awful.”

    Define “awful”. I’ll help: you’re about to find out.

    "We couldn’t grasp who she was and what policies she wanted. "

    It helps a lot of if you pay attention and listen to the candidate. Maybe look up her past voting record and background.

    "Essentially, the average person wouldn’t know what she wanted or who she is unless she actually did an interview on a podcast that they could watch on YouTube. "

    Please tell me you are joking. That you really truly believe that because she didn’t go on a specific podcast, she lost? Like seriously people are so fucking lazy they couldn’t search “Kamala Harris interview” or “Kamala Harris policies”.

    Fucking sheep.
