politics @lemmy.world•Kamala Harris’s Memoir Shows Exactly Why Her Campaign Flopped
461·3 days agoArticle was a great read. This part really resonated with me.
It may seem petty to use this incident, but it does illustrate Harris’s expectation that the world should conform to her needs. Towels on the far side of the room? Someone else must fetch them. A slot as the Democrat presidential candidate that party leaders conveniently made sure would be uncontested by anyone else, a massively well-funded campaign that raked in over a billion dollars and the support of celebrities like Oprah and Beyoncé, a popular vice presidential candidate, a huge boost in the polls as soon as she stepped into the campaign… and, yet, somehow, her loss is still anyone’s fault but her own. Why are my towels on the other side of the room? Who will fetch them for me?
It really did feel that way in hindsight. That we all were just supposed to conform to her and not the other way around.
I remember Hacks on Tap talking about how their contacts were frustrated that Harris wasn’t out doing more national television interviews and that she wasn’t really putting herself out there. This feels like another example of the towel in the bathroom.

Goes against the WH narrative that Trump had no idea.

politics @lemmy.world•'Absolutely Pathetic': Senate Democrats Denounced for Caving to GOP in Shutdown Fight | Common Dreams
5·7 days agoSusan B Komen would raise a ton of money for breast cancer. But wouldn’t actually spend any money towards helping with the cause. They spent money just to market themselves and “raise awareness” and only contributed around 15% of total funds towards the actual cause.
The poster was criticizing the approach of “raising awareness” for this.
I would also agree that raising awareness doesn’t really do anything when the current regime runs slapdash to laws and norms. You need to clamp down and do everything to resist. Not just sit and pray voters get a chance to make it better when the current regime has been televising they’re gonna do everything they can to limit and prevent voting.
