We have told you, our viewing audience, virtually nothing at all about the vice-president for three years, even though we are supposed to be... you know... "the news".
Now here's a reality television-style data dump on top of you, out of the blue and with a shrill emotional tone to it, even though we are supposed to be... you know... "the news".
One can detect the obvious mechanism of political infotainment a little more clearly when they have to stop midway and change the cartridge. Or maybe it's more like the grind of a sausage factory.

Horse race reporting must be fed

It was bad enough when it was just cable news networks fighting for ratings. Now that engagement-first feeds are involved we have hundreds of billions of dollars dependent on making sure people are as
upset"engaged" as possible.If we just said no campaigning before the second Tuesday in August we'd eliminate a lot wrong with our politics. Suddenly you don't need to raise billions of dollars to be president because there's no way to spend it all in that amount of time. The cost to purchase other seats goes down similarly.

I like your suggestion, except I'd go with October. September at the earliest. This all year every year election season bullshit has to go.

Oh yeah! She's a happy and upbeat person, I remember now. Disgusting.

Isn't she already the VP with the most tie breaking votes cast in the Senate?
I mean you could just report facts but why not introduce drama?
High on my own drama?

hexabear folks have been keeping their sad tissue list of kamala for years, they claim.
"we" just haven't been paying attention to "them"
They really do find everything 'problematic' don't they?
I don't wish them ill will, I just think the whole idea of their instance and community is just... is it satire maybe?
is it a big joke I don't get? I dunno but they're way worse than lemmy grad. at least lemmy grad has an ethos.
Why would you expect a leftist community to not criticise a liberal politician? There are obvious ideological clashes between the two.
Do you mean the tankie instance hexbear or do you mean the compounding of six bears? 🤔
We don't actually know how many bears the tankies are comprised of, but 6 does seem to fit the data. So basically it can be both.
Their argument is that it's not about the candidate but the party it represents, the issues are of the party so any lider won't do.
And if anyblider won't do, their opinion doesn't matter in this context so you can like ignore them.
But...the candidate literally tried to take power from that party.
Are they dumb too?
