How long will it be before Kamala does an in-depth interview or even a press conference where she takes questions

[Hammster]

And yet she's still polling higher than her opponent. Perhaps her campaign staff knows something about how to run a campaign, despite all of the helpful right wing suggestions that's she doing it wrong.

Yeah they do. They know if she goes off script that she’ll be exposed. So I can’t blame them.

I'm sure that's one of many stories being told to soften the blow of the recent polling.

It’s historically true. She was polling very high when she announced her run for president the last go around. Then Tulsi Gabbard expised her in the debate and her script didn’t work any more. Her poll numbers plummet. And the more off script she got, the worse it got for her.

The only reason she’s even the VP is that she was the best out of four bad choices that Biden had, and Obama thinks she’s hot.

Kamala won't do a conference or interview unless someone tells her to do a conference or interview. She needs to be told what to do.

Weird, I just saw a viral video of an interaction where the press was asking her questions and she was answering. I thought she wasn’t doing that?

An actual press conference? Let me check CNN.

An actual press conference? Let me check CNN.

An actual few minutes of her spontaneously fielding questions from reporters. She did so well, it went viral.

So not a conference. Got it.

Maybe it’s just that you didn’t understand the point of the OP.

I understood it. I’m just bored of the “why won’t she talk to the press?” and when her talking to the press goes viral, it’s “that’s not what I meant, I mean why isn’t she giving press conferences,” and when she gives that it’ll be “that’s not what I meant, I mean why isn’t she giving interviews,” and then when she does it’ll be “that’s not an interview because she was talking on a blue couch and interviews are actually done on white couches.”

It would be more genuine if people just admitted they don’t like her and if they don’t have a reason to, they’ll keep moving the goalposts or inventing nonsensical reasons to be upset.

I’d rather just keep pointing out that she hasn’t given a press conference because everyone knows why.

Yes. We all know the narrative that has been invented. And when she does it, they’ll just invent a new narrative.

 

[Landon Caeli]

Yes. We all know the narrative that has been invented. And when she does it, they’ll just invent a new narrative.

Our concerns about her abilities are not trivial "narratives". She needs to prove that she is capable of holding the most powerful political position in the world - especially considering that she didn’t win the presidential candidacy based on votes. It was handed to her, undemocratically.

...There's just no way we're going to sit quietly while an undemocratically appointed person tip-toes around behind the scenes.

There weeks without a press conference isn’t an invention.

 

[Landon Caeli]

Show us what you got Kamala! Or step aside. Those are the only acceptable choices.

Hey, it worked for Gerald Ford.

-- A2SG, and no one complained back then...at least, not loudly, with the full force of social media behind 'em....

Not really.

As minority leader in the House, Ford appeared in a popular series of televised press conferences with Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, so he was well known.

...We don't really know Kamala, however, outside of her being holder of a specific position. She really needs to assure us of who she is, so we can know her on a more personal level. It's not fair to the American people if she doesn't.

 

[A2SG]

Not really.

As minority leader in the House, Ford appeared in a popular series of televised press conferences with Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, so he was well known.

Still, no one ever voted for him. At least, with Kamala Harris, she will face voters first, before becoming president.

Yeah, it's unfair that she's not campaigning the way you want her to, huh?

-- A2SG, how rude of her....

Ah, since you opened the door, and made this conversation personal, I assume that means you won't mind me doing it in return.

The fact of the matter is that you don't care what anyone outside your circle thinks, as long as your party wins. That's a really selfish, and hateful way of being. We matter too, you know. And our opinions are not garbage.
