CONTRASTING CAMPAIGNS

A big problem for Democrats in 2024 is that they’ve painted Trump as literal evil incarnate.
In response, Trump is going on a ton of long-form podcasts where a lot of independents are watching and listening to Trump speak – many of them for the first time – and are able to form an opinion based on what they see first hand.
This is a stark contrast to how a lot of us have absorbed information in the past, which is whatever Legacy Media has shoved down our throats. It is not secret that Legacy Media, by and large, has a left-leaning bias.
This will – without a doubt – win voters that are unhappy with the system (which is A LOT of people – 19% of the country think Congress is doing a good job, 50% of the country identifies as Independent).
Trump’s entire position since the beginning is being the hammer to whatever we’ve built thus far, which has been very ineffective for many to put it mildly. His ability to be an effective hammer is still an open question.
However, by default, if Kamala doesn’t start doing long-form interviews or podcasts where Independents are able to gauge, first hand, her policy and who she is as a person, she will lose, and likely lose by a lot.
Anecdotally – I have many folks within my circle that I consider to be independent voters. As a whole, my circle leans left. None of them are enthusiastic about Kamala, and all of them have been softer on Trump vs 2020.
This is obviously in stark contrast to many polls, so my very small sample could be totally wrong.
But just like 2016, I think polls are missing a very significant shift in the general public. I think this shift is being driven by many choosing to forgo Legacy Media as their primary source of information, and instead absorbing information from more independent voices.
A lot of these voices, at least from what I’ve noticed, are questioning the system much more often, much more loudly, and much more confidently.
I think how COVID was handled, paired with Government’s heavy-handed approach to silence speech that was challenging the ‘true’ narrative – which by the way is now proven to be unquestionable true (Twitter Files, Zuck’s letter)… which is a literal obstruction of the First Amendment – have many convinced that whatever we’ve got going on now ain’t working.
In short – the whole ‘Trump is an evil dictator’ and ‘Kamala is an evil communist’ rhetoric is shallow and does nothing.
Instead, in depth discussions that reveals the individuals character, paired with policy, will win the day.
Only podcasts can do this, and only one candidate has taken this on.
Let me know what you think.

‘Instead, in depth discussions that reveals the individuals character, paired with policy, will win the day.”
“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
Lying media, shitty economy, openly corrupt public officials…there’s your in depth discussion. “Fuck Joe Biden, and the Kammala he rode in on!” This ain’t rocket science. Trump wins going away!
Agree!
Another point not made above is that the MSM continues to ostracize Trump and are not willing to publicize his policies etc. Instead their message is that whatever he does it is evil and wrong so he shifted to podcast interviews with 100K -500K subscribers here and Millions of subscribers there. This has enabled him to publicize his message (primarily to younger voters) and then only release soundbites to the MSM that they can’t spin.
Ie: My policy is to support IVF because babies are good for America……important enough that the MSM has to broadcast or get left in the dust but not enough meat for them to spin the message as the devil incarnate.
It also puts him directly in touch with the “people” level — some of these podcasters don’t have all the lights turned on and discussions can have nothing to do with his messaging but even those show him to be an ordinary human being with the problems like everyone else (ie: brother was an alcoholic and died so he doesn’t drink and doesn’t smoke — pretty personal and everyone can relate).
Trump is poised to win the vote and electoral college — doesn’t mean he will be sworn in to be President though!
It’s only 2 months to the election but 4 1/2 months to inauguration………….
These petty fools think they can ostracize the rightful President! He stands astride America as a colossus! What fucking planet do these people live on!
Let’s assume the election will be enough on the up and up for Trump to win. The dummies who would vote for Harris/Walz do not care about facts. If you were to visit normie message boards not places like this you would be astounded at how dumb people are.
You are right abot that TFH…whenever i accidentally hit one of those i am astounded
