i think ppl are underestimating how much it's worth to harris to simply show up to a hostile interview by a partisan hack and refuse to be cowed or overwhelmed. think about the gender politics undergirding 24. even if she didn't win every battle, she also didn't get embarrassed. That's a W.

She also didn’t call anyone childish nicknames, pout with folded arms, or refuse to answer any questions and instead listen to 45 minutes of music while ignoring everyone.

I hope she goes on Joe Rogan's show. youtube.com/live/rifvew-...

my take what us harris supporters think is not that important what matters is what undecided voters think ok, you could make an argument about motivating base, but IMO that is marginal ?

Again, it's @joshtpm.bsky.social 's "dominance" theory of Presidential politics. Repeated demonstrations of your control of the debate are how you win.

Quite a contrast with her opponent— who won’t do any more debates, canceled interviews with 60 Minutes and CNN, threatened to revoke the FCC licenses of TV networks that displeased him.

She's also doing the Democratic version of giving the other party a sock in the eye. It's a vicarious attack on all of the disingenuous assholes on the other side. It *feels good* and it feels good in a way Democrats aren't accustomed to.

Only saw a few clips of it but dang. She did pretty good!

Her expression tells the story to anyone willing to listen. The rest aren’t reachable anyway.

I looked at comments of tiktok and some were like “i was voting for her and now I am not” (I am sure those people never intended to vote for her. Is interesting how the people that are on the deep end keep saying she cannot speak or articulate. Like the brainwashing is wild

I suspect her team wanted to drill down on some of these points in a 2nd debate, so when Trump refused they just took the message *directly* to the people they wanted to hear it
