Not sitting down and talking to Joe Rogan probably didn't cost her the election, but as it turned out she was in no position to turn down an otherwise hard to reach audience of millions of people.

Meh - they already made up their mind. Average Rogan watcher isn't changing their mind about Trump.

Well, in the end, they made their choice.

Abandoning the 49 percent cos you don’t like what the 51 percent did seems a odd way to think

Tell that to Trump who doesn’t want to give funding or aid support to any of the blue states that didn’t support him

He did in COVID and has stated he will do so again if he wins

 

[hippyhippy]

TBF, that wasn't him and it was a joke. His team approved it though, which is where I would have drawn the line .....

But hey, he increased his Latino vote, so didn't hurt him at all.

Just a week before the democrats called Mexicans thieves...

What’s that got to do with anything I said ?

Trump said some cringey things over the journey

By "said some cringey things" you mean "r*ped a number of women", yeah?

Trump would have won 2020, before Covid happened. (and yes, he did lose)

If covid was a year later, Trump would have been the one who was smashed in this election. The economy isn't too bad, it just takes people too long to realise the effects of that.

This was always going to be a change election. Biden had to quit sooner and the Democrats (in hindsight) had to pick a radical as well.

Anyway, there is no excuse for old Donny not to do what he said. Senate, House, him, all his people......I just glad I am not the pollie who has to kiss Donnies arse and pander to that ego.

I think you have nailed it. Only chance the dems had was to go with a clear break from the current administration, and have done that with a proper primary (which is a stretch for the dems even at the best of times).

Because you seem very against that thought yet you ignored that’s how Trump has acted over the years

Wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite right?

Will be watching The View tomorrow. Will be mint

I support that side of politics but this is when whoopi and co need to act graciously and " Accept the will of the people" that's how you go about changing your parties fortunes. If all we get is a hissy fit from them than they haven't learnt a thing. That's part of the reason he won, continuous attacking of the man ( even though it went both ways the media spun it only 1 way). Let Trump drown himself. Be gracious, accept defeat and move on but make sure you highlight things that he is stuffing up along the way. It's the only way the tide will turn back in their favour. Let the Republicans control the narrative so it's on them completely if shit hits the fan. That's media and the government.

Geez Kamala was a really shitty candidate. But honestly its Biden's fault for not standing down and allowing a Dem primary. And why Walz as running mate? I never got his appeal.

That was one of her biggest blunders. She should’ve picked Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. She’d have at least held that state. Only problem with him is he’s too intelligent and would have made her look more stupid than she already does.

 

[StingBitten]

Was thinking about this video as soon as Trump won in 2016.

You could literally replace the name Hillary with Kamala and you'd have the exact same scenario as before.

Abandoning?

What are they relying on me for at the moment? Nothing.

Would I abuse an American if I met them? Of course not.

Will I be caring much about Trump news? Caring much about them whinging about anything? Probably not.

Will that make a jot of difference to their lives? No. Not a single person will be materially affected by my indifference.

He's got a reach of tens of millions of people. You don't think she could have shaken a few loose?

Just as many would have dribbled about her not saying the right thing. Nothing changes that population as a whole but $$$$

International charity ActionAid has warned that Donald Trump’s re-election sends an “existential and dangerous threat to women and girls’ rights across the world”.

Hannah Bond, Co-CEO at ActionAid UK said on Wednesday:

Trump’s election poses an existential and dangerous threat to women and girls rights across the world and to global peace and security.

Millions in America will be waking up to a future where their reproductive rights and freedoms are fundamentally at risk, particularly the most marginalised people.

For women and girls facing crises across the world – whether in Gaza or in Ukraine – this is a devastating result that threatens global peace and security.

With leaders gathering at COP next week, Trump’s plans to pull out of the Paris agreement all but ends the hope of meaningful US climate action.

With the UK committed to ‘standing shoulder to shoulder’ with the new US administration, it must hold the US to account in the fight for gender equality.”

It's Merica, a country built on racism and "god". A black woman was never going to get elected. What a shitpit.

Meanwhile …Trump gets a pass for basing his policies on the states that supported him and will actively withhold funds and aids just to be vindicate to Dems states

But no some random person on the internet who doesn’t affect the lives of Americans needs to be called out instead

Nah. All groups are monolith. Hivemind. That's why they are groups in the first place. This approach also requires less thinking.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Why?

You have 24 hours to post proof.

I anxiously await your mashing of the report button

I’d never seen this before but it perfectly describes this election

LOL. Have you seen the size of the Trump thread here. People caring about Trump news ain’t going away . I’m certain I’ll see you in that thread

Yeah nobody changes their minds ... So I'll just stay in my basement .. why bother doing any interviews or press conferences...

Next minute... Conservatives control everything and supreme Court..

Every TV appearance she did she got an avalanche of mouth breathers stating that she didn't change their mind. If she put Rogan in his place... no change. If she bombed? No change.

I don't believe that she could have swayed that audience. Not one bit.

If the rapes and the fraud and the abuse and the child sex trafficking didn't change their mind on Trump, Kamala dunking on Rogan wasn't going to.

Much like Trump not approaching to be interviewed by more left leaning media …both sides were not going to change their views

Harris already tried by appearing on Fox News which didn’t move the needle much…would had been the same with Rogan who would had pendled his conspiracies bullshit and been another RWNJ being aggressive to her just like the Fox muppet peddling his misinformation and agressivly talking over the top of her
