They do of course. If you’re in battle ground states they matter a TON, and they matter for everyone in local elections.

In 2020, one state (Georgia) can make or break an election, but in 1963, and 1865, one nutjob with a gun can change the coarse of history all on his own…

In the 2060s, I sure hope we have better measures in place…

Sure does say something that 8 million people was able to stomach watching Faux News because the content was worth it for a brief moment.

I keep almost seeing if I can fish it somewhere to watch, and then I remember it won’t change my mind, and it will probably just upset me.

There are probably a lot of people who have begun having doubts about the orange bad who still wouldn’t trust other networks and needed it to be on Fox to tune in. I hope she got through to enough of them to make a difference.

She doesn’t even need to get them to switch. Just stay home and decide it isn’t worth committing treason for.

So many people think he “owned” her. Or that she didn’t answer his questions, and I’m like, “did you watch the same thing?”

They probably didn’t. They’re probably just repeating what they heard some Fox News host say

She handled him, tho. Kept saying, “excuse me, let me finish” and didn’t let him stop her

It seems like Harris is happy with how the interview went but I’m seeing negative coverage too. I wonder what viewers open to changing their minds actually thought.

I knew that article from the Hill read like it was dripping with loaded words and bias so I checked out the author Becket Adams and found this:

“The National Journalism Center (NJC) is an American conservative political organization established in 1977 by conservative journalist M. Stanton Evans. Its president is Scott Walker, former Republican governor of Wisconsin, who is also president of Young America’s Foundation. The current program director is Becket Adams, who has written for conservative publications including the Washington Examiner and the National Review.[1] The NJC runs programs and internships for journalism students to educate them on professional journalism and conservative political issues and values.”

He’s a conservative, of course he’s going to shit on her parade. If my memory serves, Scott Walker is also a piece of shit.

That’s all correct, but wasn’t Harris’s goal to appeal to conservatives?

I didn’t find the article particularly convincing because there’s a clear answer to the question of why Harris defended Biden’s mental acuity, everyone knows it, but Harris can’t admit it explicitly. No one wanted to be the first person to say that the emperor had no clothes.

Yes, but what I’m saying is his take is going to be slanted on purpose. He isn’t trying to have an objective take on her performance, he’s going to write an article trying to make her look as bad as possible.

I’d rather know what johnny conservative thought of his own mind, rather than someone with the goal of making you not like her but johnny conservative doesn’t have a media outlet I suppose lol

well of course she is not going to convince someone who’s source of living is being conservative propagandist…

the question is whether or not she had a chance to convince even 1% of normal conservative voters.
