AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND

Relevant to what? Kamala is running around with neocon warmongers and trying gaslight everyone about an ongoing genocide.

Generally speaking, most lies in politics aren't disingenuous campaign promises. Trump is a special boy, but Republicans and Democrats are both usually pretty good at actually trying to fulfill campaign promises. The actual lies are mostly gaslighting about the motivations and ultimate aims of those policies. Republicans run on tax cuts and deregulation, and that's exactly what they do in office. Trump actually does hate black and brown people and really plans to do mass deportations and insane tariffs.

Every interview with Harris felt like a stump speech. It was all carefully parsed corporate language that said almost nothing and came across as completely disingenuous. Meanwhile, Trump went off the cuff (and arguably the rails) in every interview, and that just codes as being more genuine.

That's the disease if Democratic political consultancy. They parse up the demographics, figure out what each group does or doesn't want to hear, then compute the perfect path to victory. It sounds reasonable, but requires extreme message discipline to pull off. The problem is that very few politicians can pull that off without coming off as manipulative. Obama was one of the few that could pull it off. Biden came close. Kamala wasn't even in the right ballpark.
