The Harris-Walz Campaign team’s recent appearance on ‘Pod Save America’ shows how operatives who have spent their entire careers cycling through campaigns, corporate boardrooms, and consulting firms produced a campaign that failed to inspire or connect with voters.

From the Article:

For weeks following Joe Biden’s disastrous performance, his campaign publicly maintained the illusion that he was still well-positioned to defeat Donald Trump. Privately, they knew otherwise. As Pod Save America co-host Jon Favreau revealed days after the election:

After the debate, the Biden people told us that the polls were fine, and Biden was still the strongest candidate. They were privately telling reporters, at the time, that Kamala Harris couldn’t win. […] Then we find out, when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling, at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes.

The implications of this are staggering, and it should be treated as a massive scandal.

    I have a hard time believing that anyone was engaged enough to actually understand who Cheney was (to the point that they have an opinion of her) AND they were so upset by the gesture of welcoming her on on the Jan 6th Committee as a bridge that they completely refused their civic duty to vote? Something doesn’t square there…

    That said, Cheney is human garbage who was still spewing that ridiculous “dems want to abort babies after they are already born” bullshit, as of very recently.

      Yep, Snapz > Harris’ aids and reputable sources. You’re clearly smarter than the helpers and all papers that document it well.

      What kind of Trump supporter “How did he lose 2020? Rigged!” thinking is this? Running a bad campaign of copying Romney/Trump points that Trump supporters won’t like, and the people Trump’s policies hurt don’t think you care about them in any way beyond tokenism, loses you that election.

        No no. They think they are right and it’s easy to just say other people are stupid and have their punishment rightfully coming to them and everyone else that get it also should be punished for their existence as well because they all deserve it.

        It makes them feel very good inside so why shouldn’t it be the truth?

        Don’t you know? Being awfule to other people and expecting you are owed whatever you want and blaming others for not being immediately fall in line with your ideas is all the rage these days. Why bother with effort and compromise when we all want our piece of the cult.
