The Madison Square Garden rally, operatic in its repulsive bigotry, will almost certainly alienate more voters who might have voted for Trump.

It was intentional. They are doing everything possible to bait Harris into a mistake and distract voters from Trump being too frail to campaign. Trump voters are already racist shitbags. The strategy here is to make Harris seem shrill and unreasonable.
Also, all attention is good attention. That has been the rule of the Trump campaign since day one.
I have seen so many articles about Donald Trump in the last week, and I'm not sure I have even seen one about Kamala Harris. Unfortunately, the media and the online public are both very easy to bait into giving Trump free publicity.
This is exactly it - I'm on Lemmy, a place that's probably 35 percentage points more left than the average US space, and the entire feed is similar stories about this rally. The media has learned nothing and in 3 years American journalism may be dead - regulated into state-approved propaganda like in Russia - because of it.
The media is a business, and clicks are currency. Trump is good for business. It's that simple.
Right. His whole McDonald’s stunt was wild how effective it was. We all made fun of it, but it was a net positive for him from all the headlines.

The idea that calling out bigotry as unacceptable can be 'shrill and unreasonable' is so ridiculous that I want to disbelieve you, except that I know enough about the world to know that it happens.
You can post online that you're upset that Israel is killing innocent people, and be told that saying that is 'Russian propaganda' etc. Anything can be spun as unacceptable, I guess.
