She’s fucking with his fragile ego. It’s gonna drive him to ever more erratic behavior. Shit’s gonna get even more weird.
Shit like this is another Harris win, IMO. She knows how to fight.
The best way to beat a fascist is to make fun of them. Biden droning on about the threat of Trump plays into his hands - it makes him look strong and scary. The way to get at him is making him look small and silly.
Kamala’s campaign seem to have the right idea so far. Let’s hope she’s well-coached for the debate, because it’s going to be hugely important.
I’m sure there are people who have said it before, but Lindsey Ellis did a great essay on mel Brooks, and the whole point of his comedy being “dude… People marching in synchro is just goofy”. The point being how damn fragile a facade is when there’s nothing behind it, and how much these kind of “strong men” depend on it.
The whole “weird” thing was the perfect shot. The reason it works is because it’s also true “no man, you’re not to tough for me, you’re just… Fucking weird…”

Oh I very much disagree, but my way is far more direct.
Mockery in the media where they’re not in brick range, both are important
Maybe fascism on a macro scale then? A fascist on the micro scale, well, your approach may be great.

It worked when Superman made fun of the KKK, and it works today.

That is how you make him mad and throw him off balance. Hit him at every ego point. I’ll bet when she goes for these weaknesses it will make him look weak even to his base. That will demoralize them and keep some home on Election Day.
The real trick is going to be when his campaign starts AI manipulating photos and videos to make his crowds look bigger, and how they will likely do it badly, and the mockery that will follow.
Of course, he’ll just deny it and his followers will accept his denial, but it’s business as usual at this point.
After all the money spent on legal fees they can probably only afford to have Trump sharpie in some stick figures.
This seems kinda stupid… but it’s a great strategy. Trump actually pays attention to this kinda stuff and will make a stink over it.
It reminds me of the Lincoln Project’s “audience of one” strategy, where their ads were basically just meant to be viewed by Trump on cable news.
His followers also respond to it. It demoralizes them from voting.
They want to feel like the underdogs but they don’t want to be seen as weak so this doesn’t hurt one bit
I so want an “I did that!” Sticker!!! Several of us Cat Ladies for Kamala on Facebook RSVP’ed from afar. 😈
Sure yeah. Fuck Trump, wholeheartedly. But it sure would be nice to hear some actual policy plans instead of fluffy quotes. What are we doing in the first 100 days?
The team is actively working on that. It takes a while to create a “policy plan”.
But you know that, and are just parroting what you heard the TV heads said.
She had one before she joined up with Biden. She would use that if she had any backbone. Instead we’ll end up with a “move to the center”.
So your great idea is for her to use her policy plan that hasn’t been touched in 5 years?
Sure, buddy. Great idea. 🙄
My idea is for her to actually believe in something rather than shifting with the political winds… but I suppose I’ll just look the other way on that because she is not Donald Trump.
The part I like is how you shift from one dumb argument to another! Good job man!
Shifting? Seems pretty consistent to me.
Wanting a candidate with conviction, who had a solid platform in 2020 and is currently shifting with the political winds, is far from a dumb argument.
It won’t hurt you to be honest about her flaws, anyone who actually believes in America won’t vote for DT anyway.
