Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Pete Wehner, a former speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, wrote on X that Kamala Harris "dominated" Fox News host Bret Baier during an interview on Wednesday.

"My take: Bret Baier has rarely looked as bad (or tendentious) as he did in his interview with Kamala Harris," Wehner wrote on X. "On the flip side, this was one of her best interviews. She dominated Bret. All in all it was quite a bad day for MAGA world's most important media outlet," Wehner posted on X

Harris and Baier shared a combative 30-minute exchange in her first formal interview on the right-leaning network, in an outreach to conservative or independent voters in the closing weeks of the election. Baier grilled her on the Biden administration's handling of immigration, the Middle East and the economy.

MAGA world's most important media outlet

Hey, 2016 called, it wants its' tweet back. None of the real MAGAs trust Fox anymore, ever since they had to settle that lawsuit and fire Tucker Carlson.

Actual MAGA voters aren't gettable anyway. Fox is still important to MAGA because it is the biggest mainstream launderer of the MAGA brand, particularly for traditional Republicans , who are gettable and who are more likely to watch Fox.

This was smart and she should do more. Go on Rogan ASAP.

Good! She should go on all those shows and go after the crypto bros and young men that Trump is trying to turn into first time voters. That's actually the only really novel Trump strategy for picking up net new votes that the Harris campaign seems to have a response for.

Surprisingly, Rogan has been giving her credit, in as much as he's capable of that. Heard some clips of him praising her performance and how much she got Trump.

They don't even remember Carlson. They still watch Fox 24/7

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The actual die hard MAGA people watch OANN

[–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

My parents watch FOX. The goal isn't to get the die hard MAGAts, but instead someone who is willing to listen. Anyone at all.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I'm more concerned about people like our parents and grandparents, or my buddy with 2.5 kids. The truly hardcore are long lost.

This is not the narrative they are telling themselves, BTW. They are leaning into the "angry black woman" thing while ignoring tRumps literal fascism.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

But I've been told she isn't actually black.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

Oh, can she go up against Jesse Waters next? That smarmy asshole needs a good solid kick in the balls.

Good to hear, I was worried.
