    Is she the worst candidate ever, even more so than I dare say Madam Hillary?

      Hillary’s internal polls at least had her slightly up (but within the margin of error) when she was doing shit like this.

      Kamala/Biden campaign people said there was a poll bounce after they dropped Biden, but even with that Kamala was never in the lead in their internal polling. So - yes. Yes, she is.

      Clinton could handle a hostile interview. Harris couldn’t get through a neutral one.

      Absolutely worse than Hillary. Besides never actually winning a primary, she performed worse against Trump after the people had already seen what a Trump presidency is like. She lost the popular vote, it’s not even close.

      I think the campaign bought into the insane idea that Biden was too far left and that caused his unpopularity. It’s the only way to explain why this campaign went from disdain for the left to open hostility.

      People actually liked Clinton. Not you, not me, not people like you or me, but more than one person, and that makes people. I don’t think the same could be said of Harris.

    That’s pretty amazing. That’s like having 0 charisma, a charisma debuff and bad rng all in one person. It’s genuinely fascinating how unlikeable she is. Her ability to say precisely the wrong things to the wrong people and seemingly sincere desire to do so as much as possible really should be studied. Like, even Nixon had a slimy and spiteful vibe that didn’t endear him to some but it was something, there is a charm to that. There’s a reason he’s parodied to this day, cause being spiteful and hate filled, while terrible is at least something to be. Kamala is a black hole of personality

    She was so fucking bad holy shit. I guess she suffered in one way by being the candidate and not the VP because when Vance was off-putting they moved him out of the spotlight, only letting him do the nerd shit he’s good at. I guess they tried with Walz but he was seemingly “to left” cuz they shut him up. Absolute zero game all around.

      Source is O’Brien, he said this in his Tucker Carlson interview. He already said that there was a good reason for their non-endorsement before the election. Right after the election, he said that Kamala wouldn’t commit to keeping Lina Khan.

        not committing to keeping Lina Khan is one of the dumbest things kamala could have said to labor and one of the only decent things joe did was put her in power. what a dumb goddamn campaign, the incompetence therein will feed multiple academics for years

    Kamala was just a pawn, placed there purposefully by Biden on his way down.

    This was a civil war between the Bidens and the Pelosi/Obama factions. Biden screwed them by deliberately naming Kamala as his chosen candidate (to circumvent a primary) and publicly tied her to the Biden administration’s “success”.

    The rival factions couldn’t do anything: if they oppose to Kamala as the nominee, then they’d also be denying the “success” of Bidenomics that would be extremely bad optics for the party and the Democratic presidency as a whole. If they choose to go with a primary, they’d be publicly opposing Biden’s chosen nominee, and that might as well be telling everyone that the party is dysfunctional and nobody is at the helm, just three months away from the election.

    The Bidens played their cards right and have the last laugh. Even managed to free Hunter on his way out.

    Some people had some hot takes about O’Brien during the election cycle, but dealing with the Kamala/Biden campaigns directly, it’s hard to think that the Teamsters didn’t see the writing on the wall before going to the RNC and Trump Tower.
