          Even better is the fact that he illegally registered to vote while serving time for a felony. Such a wonderful example for the party, and he’s one of the leaders.

      People who have worked for Harris say her interactions with staff can resemble a prosecutor prying details from a witness, asking pointed questions about everything from her schedule to policy briefings. And her cautious approach to big decisions has frustrated deputies rather than inspire them.

      how dare she gasp schedule her time?!?!

      Man, I WISH I had bosses like her. Ask me questions, make sure, then explain why I’m wrong if I am. It ain’t hard. Don’t micro-manage, just exist as someone I can trust to actually speak up.

    God I want someone this competent in office so badly. I’m tired of bad politicians conning the system and “good” politicians just running things on autopilot. I want a leader that understands their government so badly.

    This echoes what I’ve been feeling about Kamala’s campaign too. I feel she’ll be great at the job of presidency, but may have to rely on Walz to grease the wheels of congress to actually pass things.

    I remember 2016.

    2016 is when the corporate media world - in particular the newspapers showed their ass and decided profit was more important than a functioning democracy.

    It was abhorrent and there was even a few tiny scattered mea culpas afterwards, but of course nothing changed and it even got worse as we can see by right-wing billionaires buying up CNN to make it “a voice of conservatives” specifically - and CNN was already one of the worst!

    Anyway - this article is just more of the same. Talking about “nothing” while making it very clear they’re trying to smear the candidate in one of a hundred ways. Her emails, probably.

      No, 2016 was when the corporate media world decided to continue doing the same shit they’ve been doing for many decades.

        Yes but in the face of this:

        The most overtly racist, dishonest, incompetent, ignorant, and compromised candidate possible. EVER. And that’s saying something.

        This wasn’t “GW Bush and his war on terror”-level bullshit this was light-years beyond that.

      I’m feeling more optimistic lately though because while it seems like the bigger media companies are being made to turn hard to the right, it also seems like their brand of propaganda isn’t working as effectively as it once did. Seems like they might have even lost the younger generations entirely.

        We say this every time there’s a temporary moment of a vague sense that not everything is going to shit immediately. After Obama won, for example. When Bill Clinton was about to win.

        It’s an occasional problem when working in reality. The corporate media will make adjustments soon to ensure rage and fear carry the day as always. It never lasts too long.

      The nepobaby interns or the people actually working their way up from the bottom.

      I wonder which get treated worse.

    A mindless mind will find a way to take a neutral or positive trait and find a way to spin it into a negative narrative, or in the case of the current journalism industrial complex and its’ mindless little drones who fancy themselves “the fourth estate” - something alarming, shrill and hysterical, something to amplify high blood pressure.

    OMG she reads and uses critical thinking and also wants to know the reason behind things.

    What a monster. Lock her up!

    Yeah gotta be honest this is just what (competent) lawyers do. A major part of law school is teaching students to consume large amounts of legal documents.

        CGPGrey, formerly a physics teacher, claimed the teachers know when they ‘forget’ most of the time. They’re tired too and wanted to get away with not having to grade it. He even joked “that guy who reminds the teacher they forgot to collect the homework? We don’t like them either.”

    LOL. So she’s like an English teacher, heaven forbid!

    She had to hit the pedal to the metal and blitz events across the country with zero notice. Duh, she’s going to be pretty picky about how her schedule is organized and what she deems most effective. That sounds like leadership material to me.

      It is a fluff piece though, so should be taken with as many grains of salt as positive press pieces for Trump.

    Its terrible when they want a reason why they should do something I want them do. How can I the unelected minion get what I want when I have to work for someone like this.

    To be clear, that’s annoying from a figurehead position like veep to some. Being the perfect veep doesn’t really qualify you to be president.

        Yeah I’m not really excusing the Post so much as excusing the staff for complaining. If they get a directive from the West Wing, they’re just out to jump and not ask why.

        What makes you bad at being VP can make you good at being president.
