This makes her “strategy” even more baffling than before. How do you know you are down the entire time and do absolutely nothing about policy?

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I feel like her political background just isn't a "swing for the fences" one, though. The only thing that would've made her lose worse than she did would've been if she was faking it. People might not be smart about policy and whatnot, but Americans can spot a fake 100 miles away.
Trump was never anything but his most authentic self from the moment he rode down that escalator until today.
Harris trying to go fulll Bernie/ Squad would've failed spectacularly. Because that not what she believes in.
I feel like Trump has said a lot of things that he didn't hold himself to, which is kinda fake behaviour. I think I understand what you mean though, even though I struggle to articulate it
Trumps authentic self is a liar.
The above comment isn't about lying, but about authenticity.
Americans can't necessarily spot a liar a hundred miles away, but they absolutely can spot insincerity a hundred miles away.
I don't think I could handle the distinction in my day to day life
Ehh, Trump himself is 100% a fake. But he's gamed the system to exist as a fluke inside it.
i don't agree that he's a fake. He's a liar, a fraudster, a con man, a grifter, a showman, but always his authentic self as those things.
He doesn't half-ass it like the Democrats do, that's for sure.
