starting to think dems stopped with the "republicans are weird" strategy because they realized kamala is also really weird

[-] RION@hexbear.net 83 points 2 days ago

Host Kareem Rahma said he felt like it would have cost Harris the 2024 election

Kareem buddy you're gonna wanna sit down for this one

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 37 points 2 days ago

from what i saw, he clarified that he didn't want to be blamed for it by psychotic people, not that he thinks he has that kind of power in particular, or that she really had a chance otherwise.

[-] RION@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

I know it's explained in the article but I thought the byline was funny

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 83 points 2 days ago

I’m torn on this, because “bacon is a spice” is equally likely to be something Kamala came up with organically because she’s that bizarre, as it is that her advisers came up with it as a cringe combination of 2010’s “le epic bacon” memes and that “is a hot dog a sandwich?” debate.

This makes a disturbing amount of sense. Did you work for KKKamala?

I mean, bacon is a spice was literally something said back then so. I know several people that said it.

Edit:

e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/kae06t/can_bacon_be_considered_as_a_spice/

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

They also sell premade "bacon bits" in the spice sections of some amerikkka grocery stores

What's their excuse for not releasing it now? Protecting the Democratic brand?

[-] segfault11@hexbear.net 61 points 2 days ago

the last known copy is being held by the SCP Foundation for being lethally cringe

[-] blunder@hexbear.net 38 points 2 days ago

I think he just finds it cringe and doesn't want to be associated with it lol

[-] mechwarrior2@hexbear.net 54 points 2 days ago

hate this guys content for its "x celebrity is so relatably quirked up" psyop

Rahma feared at the time that he would be blamed if Harris lost the election.

Probably correct

“Do you think that was her opinion, or do you think she got like a research group to try and figure something out,” Bertoni asked in a longer version of the clip.

“Research group, because originally the take that I was pitched was great,” Rahma replied.

her take? fake, because it was not his take wut

“It was that she does not like to take her shoes off on airplanes.”

??? thats not a take its basic courtesy

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 days ago

Bro Asian airlines give everyone slippers and everyone takes their shoes off. Keeping your shoes on during long flights is not good for you, at all.

[-] mechwarrior2@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

it just stinks like obvious engagement bait moreso than being a genuinely "weird" "take"

"Kamala: I don't like to take my shoes off" jokermala

"same I hate shoes removers send them to jail" libbing-out

"wait but I take my shoes off? actually, they do it on other airlines too" wojak-nooo

"nooo keep them on!!!" honk-enraged

which makes sense since it was the content creator that proposed it rather than being an actually held belief of Kamala's

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago

100%, engagement bait works on me far too often for my own comfort.

[-] mechwarrior2@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

"omg i bet trump takes his shoes off like ^this^ and wriggles his nasty little piggies ewww gross"

I'm saving future historians years of work by annotating my hieroglyphs

[-] blunder@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

u got me reading the source code of your comment to understand how u did that

[-] Skye@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago

Oh, I should explain so no one else has to figure it out by looking at a mess of links:

{bottom | top} becomes {bottom | top} with the cool mark up system we have!

Now you can just replace the bottom text with an emote or image... which may or may not be exploiting an oversight by the devs bleh

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago

This is even better than if the text actually got into the bubble correctly

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 2 points 20 hours ago

Does it not for you? Here's what I've got on Windows/Firefox:

I tried on Chrome and Edge, and it just floats above the bubble. Glyph positioning is weird in the Chromium engine, I think.

Damn this is some emoji evolution

She's a weird alien person just like Trump is, just like Biden is, just like JD Vance is, just like Hillary Clinton is, just like George W. Bush is.

Should be an emoji

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You're telling me democrats couldn't find anyone else that was remotely more charismatic? Normally there is no such thing as bad publicity but she was so damn bad that it was indeed bad publicity.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

It's the result of skipping the primary to go all-in on Biden right up until he shat his pants on national television.

the dems aren't trying to win, so they're actively looking for the least charismatic people they can find. they're just trying to play the role of a nominally leftist party in the theater of bourgeois democracy

winning actually makes their lives harder because they then have to come up with reasons for not doing anything, instead of just complaining about republicans while letting them do everything they want

[-] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 36 points 2 days ago

TLDR: her take was "bacon is a spice." the host said this was something they changed it to before the interview, probably because some research team recommended it. When they originally booked the interview her take was supposed to be "I don't like to take my shoes off on airplanes."

Y'all take your shoes off on airplanes?

[-] huf@hexbear.net 29 points 2 days ago

think rich class seats, not the way we travel. when you have a little cubicle of your own, you probably do take off your shoes

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 days ago

All the Asian airlines I’ve ridden give you slippers when you get on tje plane, because wearing your shoes on a long flight is bad for your blood flow and can exacerbate the swelling you’re already going to get from sitting for that long. Long story short, yes, and so should you.

I definitely have for overnight ones, yeah. I usually go and change socks in the bathroom to not stink

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

I mean I always wear slides to the airport, so taking those off isn't that much different from keeping them on. I wouldn't take off actual shoes though

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago

I doubt it would make a difference. People went out of their way to defend all the cringe pandering Hillary did like the “hot sauce” soundbite.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago

You guys think "bacon is a spice" is weird but i was already going to get bac-o's (bacon flavored tofu) to grind up to season vegan food when i'm back at work. and people will think Im a genius. Im going to do a Hawaiian pasta salad with that shit crumbled in there and people are gonna be like WOAH

[-] Elysium@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

As a kid I once made a salad drenched in ranch dressing and those fake bacon bacos things. I also happened to be recovering from the flu. Not the best choice of food when I'd been vomiting consistently for like a day or two.

Still can't eat ranch dressing without remembering the horrible flavors...

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

my family used to fuckin love bac-o's for mashed potatoes and shit.

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago

He's hiding something. Kamala actually said "does the Narwhal Bacon at midnight" and he hid it in fear of revealing she's a redditor.
