Harris Slammed Over Disastrous Solo Interview With Local Station

[BPPLEE]

Compared to tax cuts for the 1%--absolutely.

Another lie

 

[MrMoe]

Is that how you would rather her answer questions? Like a robot using only the most efficient and necessary words with no explanation or other commentary? You didn't seem to have any trouble getting the specifics from her answer to the question.

Apparently, wanting someone to be concise is like wanting them to be "like a robot".

 

[Bradskii]

Apparently, wanting someone to be concise is like wanting them to be "like a robot".

But you want her to cut out all the preamble. To remove anything that's not relevant to her policies. To take out all the guff. Excise anything that sounds like rambling.

Hey, I just did that with Trump's last speech in Arizona:

Trump: Hello Phoenix! .............................................................................................................................. Thank you. God bless you all and God bless America!

I guess it depends on the question and context, eh?

Yes, people want her to stop the circumlocution.

They get excited when they hear her speak, in ways I can't mention on the forum and they can't understand why we don't have the same reaction

I frankly don't care how you think she talks, or laughs or presents herself. I am simply and completely bemused by the weak and risible threads that are being started trying to complain about...literally anything. She cracked a joke about herself and Trump in a lift. She spends just over a minute in an interview talking about her background and upbringing as a lead-in to two of her policies. She laughs a lot. She was reading a teeny tiny teleprompter during an interview. She talks to different groups of people in a different way.

They are all current threads.

Maybe there's a list somewhere that people are working their way through. What's next? Pant suits? Hair styles? Lipstick? Whether she takes cream in her coffee?

Seriously guys...

No one is asking you to care, but there are many who do care that a potential leader is able to answer questions and answer them succinctly, which Kamala struggles with. All those other topics you mentioned revolve around Kamala being a poor communicator.


Also, that last one is cultural appropriation. Wonder why she isn't being called out on it.

Maybe there's a list somewhere that people are working their way through. What's next? Pant suits? Hair styles? Lipstick? Whether she takes cream in her coffee?

Seriously guys...

None of those things have anything to do with Kamala Harris' ability to say use a lot of words but say very little.

 

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

I’d rather her actually answer a question directly.

She can't...

 

[Fantine]

So you are supporting Trump because he is able to answer questions succinctly and communicates well?

The same people who are ragging on her for these things are also voting for and, in some cases, stridently defending Trump, who is objectively worse on these points by a considerable margin. So, no, they don’t care. They’re just trying to find things to nitpick. Or, as is more often the case, they’re just repeating the nitpicky propaganda they’ve already consumed.

 

[The IbanezerScrooge]

Apparently, wanting someone to be concise is like wanting them to be "like a robot".

It might be considered so on a TV news interview, yeah. Or considered short, unfriendly, lacking detail, etc. etc. No matter what she said those who aren't even going to vote for her would have some criticism. Let's not pretend that the way she answered this particular question is the difference between agreeing with what she said enough to vote for her or not.

And AGAIN... the critic in this thread that gave the example had no trouble gleaning the specifics of Harris' proposals from the answer she gave.

HEY! THIS THREAD ISN'T ABOUT TRUMP! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!! GOT TDS OR SUM'PIN'??! \s

 

[probinson]

DING, DING, DING!! That's it right there. It wouldn't matter what Harris said. All the same posters would have something negative to say about it because they don't like her politics

And all the same posters have something positive to say about because they do like her politics. What an astute observation you've made!

 

[probinson]

And she spent 90 seconds doing that - giving some background about herself. Before another 2 minutes detailing an increase in the small business payments, how many new houses she promised to have built in her first term and how much financial help she was going to give first time home buyers.

You don't see any negative economic repercussions with just handing $25k to an undetermined number of people? Perhaps economics isn't your strong suit.

 

[MrMoe]

When did I say I supported Trump?

Get used to it, it goes with the territory

I would love to know how you came to the conclusion that Trump is objectively worse.

Or maybe they see Kamala as "objectively worse" as you put it.

 

[iluvatar5150]

You don't see any negative economic repercussions with just handing $25k to an undetermined number of people?

She hasn't proposed "just handing $25k" to people. As far as I'm aware, she hasn't articulated the details of that plan yet.

Perhaps economics isn't your strong suit.

Perhaps reading isn't yours.

 

[iluvatar5150]

I would love to know how you came to the conclusion that Trump is objectively worse.

I've been watching him for nine years. Being able to "answer questions and answer them succinctly" (which was the point under discussion) is not one of his strong suits. His meandering speech patterns have been the subject of much discussion and while I, personally, don't find him hard to follow on most occasions, he's hardly "succinct."

Or maybe they see Kamala as "objectively worse" as you put it.

IME, they purportedly see lots of things.
