'Saucier, more ruthless' Harris campaign pivots to new tactic in Trump attacks
Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign is employing a decidedly different tactic than what President Joe Biden used when he ran against former President Donald Trump.Axios reports that while Biden's campaign presented Trump as a dire threat to the American republic, the Harris campaign has opted fo...
I wonder if she wasn't female if they would use the word "Saucier"
First thing I thought as well. If she wasn’t a woman it would be something like “sharp, more direct.”
But hey, at least we noticed the gendered language? That’s…..something.
That really depends on if she had a husband or a wife. I can see them calling a queer man saucy, I can’t imagine a straight man running for president being called saucy
8 years ago Hillary got in trouble for calling them deplorable. Oh how the turn tables...
And the hit dogs hollered.
Just like when Obama said they were clinging to their guns and bibles.
The difference is that a lot of people strongly hated the Clintons. So any slip from her was a reason for the opposition to pounce.
Kamala has so much swagger that even Republicans are supporting her. It doesn't help that so many people are disgusted with Trump. So If Kamala slips, she turns it into a backflip and the opposition are too busy infighting to mount a attack.
To be fair, Trump himself aside, iirc she was talking about anybody who didn't want to vote for her, which clearly many, many people did not want because of that massively inflated ego she had.
Little bit of a different scene after Jan 6 and... how many other right-wing domestic terror attacks are we at now? I stopped keeping track.
Her quote never really felt that outrageous. She wasn't even calling all Trump supporters "deplorable". Here's her quote
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.
Actually, she only used "the basket of deplorables" to reference the most extreme group, who could never be converted or made to listen to reason, and were therefore not worth wasting resources on or trying to appease. In contrast to generic Republicans who might not yet be part of the Trump Cult. It was her tiny push to the left against the "sell out everything you stand for in order to pick up votes" strategy, but it was seized upon, twisted into how you're remembering it, and backfired against her.
Two very good replies. I'll add to them.
No, she specifically called out the racist, sexist, anti-gay, anti-trans jerks that thought the only worthwhile people in this country were White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Males. The Media turned this truthful comment into a big hubbub and inflamed people against the comment, implanting the meme idea in your head that she was calling anyone who didn't vote for her deplorable. Her mistake was running away from that comment when it became clear the 'liberal' (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha....) Press was going to hit her over it, rather than sticking up for herself and saying "I was clear that not every voter who votes against me is deplorable, but nevertheless, a large portion of Trump's voter-base is the kind of person I'd call deplorable!"
iirc
No, you do not recall correctly.
So they voted for the guy with a galactic scale ego.
his new tactic was on display at last week's Democratic National Convention, where Harris described Trump as "an unserious man" while also arguing that "the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious."
Such ruthless. Very sauce. Wow.
Yes, more of this. Belittle the orange man. Call him small. Call him sad. Call him pathetic.
I really enjoyed the video calling Trump a chicken.

I just hope she doesn’t go too far. I’m all for calling Trump out, but I don’t want Harris to cross the line and look like a bully.
I don't think she's going to mock any disabled reporters, mock dead troops, or rape women and girls, so it should be fine.
Plus, literally everyone loves seeing a bully get their comeuppance.
Serious question:
What would it look like for Harris or the DNC to be a bully to trump?
A LOT, actually. The more I think about it, the less realistic this concern seems. I’m glad you asked. Thanks!
Fucking glorious.
The Dems high road and the GOP bottom of the barrel distance is now staggering, there is plenty of space to ridicule those weird fuckers. Fighting the reprehensible is never bullying.
As long as he's wearing his lifts, she'll always be punching up.
