Wow. Kamala Harris is really good at this.

Fantastic recovery from Obama's careless phrasing in this interview with Justin Carter from The Shade Room.

Anyone else notice that Harris has now recovered from verbal missteps about Black men made by Biden, and verbal missteps about Black men made by Obama? No? No one else noticed? Just me? OK, cool.

Anyone else notice that she does best talking directly to voters without being filtered through mainstream press? Just me?

@mekkaokereke *"*Can you for a moment imagine what it's like #teaching five centuries of masculine ineptitude? ... History’s not such a frolic for women as it is for men.  Why should it be? They never get round the conference table. In 1919, for instance, they just arranged the flowers then gracefully retired. History is a commentary on the various and continuing incapabilities of men. What is #history?  History is #women following behind, with the bucket.”

~ Mrs. Lintott, "The History Boys"

@mekkaokereke Thanks for posting or I might have missed seeing this Kamala Harris interview, and I've seen many in the past few weeks. I think this is the best interview she's done so far, so personable, and able to communicate her ideas and views succinctly. She's got her own back.

Freedom. Forward. #KamalaHarris #HarrisWalz2024 #USpol

@mekkaokereke

Could you summarize this better in words? I'm not even allowed to watch video content at YouTube any more.

@mekkaokereke
NYT has noticed!

Honestly someone earlier compared NYT to classic rent-seeking behavior, and it's stuck in my mind. They are currently attempting to show that she -needs- them, and must do interviews with them, or they will actively do more harm to her.

Perhaps I'm attributing too much agency (or pettiness) to them, but it certainly seems like something is motivating them- the 'admonishing tone' they said obama had while 'long fascination with genetics' for trump, etc.

@Oggie @mekkaokereke I think this is just called blackmail/extortion friend 👀

(And of course they will... their profits are on the line! 🤑)

@mekkaokereke I’ve said before, and I believe it to be true, that this time around she has decided (to her benefit!) that her best approach is to be genuine and authentic to her true self, rather than present a “managed” version of who she is. People can generally tell when you’re faking it, and it turns them off.
