"Harris has a consistent platform and refuses to flip-flop the second time she is asked about it"

Thank you. Politico needs to dial it the fuck back with these headlines.

I thought it was a good interview. She sure did better than Trump did in that same room.

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

it was a good interview for her. due in no small part to some well thought out questions from the hosts.

hard hitting it was not (great questions, but gentle followup), but it gave you a pretty decent view of a caring, thoughtful human being who wants to help.

I actually thought its was not particularly scripted. it seemed to be a genuine conversation with a US presidential candidate. she was careful and generic - no one may want that, but at this moment perhaps it really is her best option.

how her genuine human experience translates into us domestic and foreign policy is a total unknown, but I will always support the human being over an ambulatory orange ego.

edit: just finished watching the full interview for the second time. she's good. I mean, Obama quality good. if she believes what she says and is able to follow through, she can make a positive difference.

if you have a political fence sitter in your life. please find this interview, watch it and share it.

just finished watching the full NABJ interview for the second time. she's good. I mean, Obama quality good (re: politics, not policy). if she believes what ~~she says~~ (I heard - cuz , the feels) and is able to follow through, she can make a positive difference in this country.

if you have a political fence sitter in your life. please find this interview, watch it and share it.

edit: I have now seen lots of "she so scripted" posts on teh interwebz. pretty sure these are all astrorturf bleed over. watch the video for yourself - I came away satisfied with her as a human being and, potentially, a president. polish does not always mean scripted, my peeps.

Is her consistency an issue? What kind of nonsense headline is this?
