O’Brien detailed how Harris reportedly cut short her union roundtable, taking only three of 16 planned questions before departing 20 minutes early.
His account described Harris telling a board member, “Teamsters? You better get on board. Better get on board soon,” before the meeting.

THEIR OWN POLLING TOLD THEM THEY WERE LOSING
I don’t think the dems thought they could win the election. They just picked a bad candidate who would not hurt them as bad as Biden down-ballot. Biden had to take away the covid measures, withdraw from Afghanistan, and be involved in 2 major wars one of which is a genocidal war. They could not win this election, they just picked a candidate who they consider bad so they can burn her.
there was no choice involved, anyone but the veep would have been too outlandish to contemplate, even this point in collapse.
I’m absolutely convinced Trump’s camp infiltrated their campaign and offered them good deals.
my shitty theory?
this was at the very start of her campaign, where she probably had to make a cut back from her xanax or benzos abuse to get serious… and withdrawal from those substances often causes major issues with agitation, impatience, and impulsivity. her campaign probably also threw adderall or whatever into the mix, which, for non-ADHDers, can have those same side affects
after biden endorsed her we saw a pretty sharp shift from her usual giggling takes-nothing-serious high ass self to a much more serious person, who had pure rage in her eyes when protestors interrupted her rally for a few seconds. other withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, insomnia, and nausea, which could explain why she was on-and-off evasive from public appearances and interviews, and her performances were ridiculously inconsistent
It’s kinda adorable when they act all bold and entitled despite having an abysmal track record. Like watching a kid brag about being a great skateboarder and then eating shit on the half pipe.
“We’ll win with you or without you”
Proceeds into the worst electoral loss in 50 years.
this is Mondale erasure, let’s dial back to 40 years
And doubly so, when the DEMOCRATS do it. Like how little self-awareness can one have?
The first thing anyone learns when they’re politically aware is that if you’re not far-right, you’re going to alienate a LOT of people. Last thing I as a leftist would do is tell anyone “we don’t need you!”
The extent to which these people are ideological fanatics has been underestimated, these are highly class-conscious fascists not naive liberals
They have no interest in any kind of realism and are more than happy to blow up the world for the sake of Milton Friedman
Leftists simply cannot comprehend what ideological conviction means.
The entire EU willingly sacrifices itself to slow the decline of the US empire: “why Europe so stupid and sabotage themselves?”
That’s called ideological conviction.
It’s ironic that of all the people who should understand ideology the best, most present day Western leftists I’ve seen keep failing to recognize that their opponents are far more ideologically fervent and committed than they ever will be.
Ideological conviction in large groups arises out of party discipline and organization, the ideological fanatics of capital literally have countless institutions and orgs to discipline them and for certain minds this can have a similar effect to as if god himself was commanding them, there’s confidence in big numbers and well-stocked armies
For us on the otherhand we have to rely on self-education, passion, family, mentorship and friends to come to our ideology, it’s not a regimented boarding school like with the scions of capital, for many of us it’s a dangerous hidden mountain path with traps and pitfalls at every bend and turn, with guides few and far between
It’s not purely ideological though.
The ones in the EU doing this materially benefit from selling out and hope to be integrated into the US elite after EU eats shit. Same old story.
It’s called atlantic council and/or blaire institute of regime change offered a cushy gig (see finland). They don’t have convictions, they don’t have interests of people in heart, they don’t have ideology; some dipshit from mckinsey comes with a cliff notes paper saying you should buy f-35, and your children will get no-show consulting gig in brussels, and they’ll do it.
Why would someone torch their country economy? Why wouldn’t they if they don’t see it as “their country”, their fortunes aren’t connected to gdp growth or life expectancy or amount of homeless people or disabled people dignity.
The sad reality of politics. It would be somewhat reassuring to think that these people are committed ideologues instead of mindless bureaucrats who are easily bought.
It’s just a little wisp of leftover liberalism, the subconscious hope for the “opposition” to just be arrogantly stupid and not also maliciously complicit. Of course, it’s vital to highlight the falseness of this idea to those who still hold onto it.
She deserved to lose.
He was more than a hero, he was a union man!
See my delegates despised
See me support genocide
I’ll win without you…Everyone appalled and irate
Blame it all on antisemitic hate
And I’ll win without youWith or without you
With or without youThrough the murder and the horror
Pretend Trump will kill even more
Can I win without you?With or without you
With or without you, ah-hah
I can’t win
With or without youArt
Happy she lost
Flawless
Then she was reported as saying “Happy birthday to this future president.”
It really sucks orange baby eater is going to be president but I’m really happy these people got walked all over
terrible bluff
And where did that bring you, back to me.
