No I heard parts of it. It actually making him affable. Harris was on call her daddy tho which she also was affable. I think Ezra Klein had an article on this - trumps authenticity is rare when most politicians have like a filter. Obama had like zero lag. Harris, Vance have some lag. I’m not saying the filter is necessarily needed or good, but I think it’s noticeable
I don't know if English is your second language, so I'll try to explain this plainly. When GP says "a vice president" in their comment it is not meant as literally Kamala Harris, they are using a literary device called metonymy. Google's definition: the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example suit for business executive, or the track for horse racing. "a VP" in GP is a substitution for "the Kamala Harris campaign" which absolutely did organize a mobile clinic to be present for a major event, at which vasectomies were offered. Here is further reading on Metonymy if you would care to learn more: https://liberalarts.oregonstate.edu/wlf/what-metonymy.
Your clinging to the idea that there is anyone at all who has said and meant, literally, that Kamala Harris was providing vasectomies to anyone is the kind of shrill idiocy that led her to lose this election.
>"this is what's known as a lie for propaganda"
No one is outright lying, but you are certainly being dishonest by insisting someone else was not speaking figuratively when they obviously were.
>"your(sic) forgot to explain what the problem is."
The problem is that it is weird and off putting to most Americans that there is a clinic offering sterilization procedures to supporters of a politician at their rally.
Whether you consider my statement factual or not is entirely beside the point.
You’re not going to agree. You don’t have to agree. It’s rhetorical—an attempt to help you understand how to someone might see things. A data point.
I’m explaining how people I know who are, feelings about Trump aside, disenfranchised with the entire democrat strategy, viewed a portion of the greater landscape. A lot of people I know thought it was kinda weird. I don’t owe you a convincing explanation as to why any more than my other comments in this thread might betray. Take it or leave it.
People are being fed constant propaganda like this. Maybe they wouldn't be so upset if they heard things that are true like "there was a mobile clinic in an adjacent parking lot to a convention".
You continue to fail to comprehend the simple rhetorical logic here. You have all the information but cannot seem to process it. Why type of voter does that make you? One that lost.
You don’t need to splain to me how it actually was a mobile clinic. As has already been covered, I know what it was and I don’t know a single person who thinks like you claim to be outraged over. Your entire thread here is a non-sequitur, just like your party’s campaign strategy. People aren’t that dumb.

Right, this is why it's a lie. You know the truth and you say something different, that's what lying is.
The rest of your comment is trying to rationalize and ignore the lies. Insults, people should know better, claiming outrage, trying to talk about something else instead, all to take the focus off the fact that you lied and even you know lying is wrong.
You broke the site guidelines badly and repeatedly in this thread. We have to ban accounts that do that, regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are, so please don't do it again.
You really are that dense. I’m explaining how people perceived the two candidates. I am not making objective statements about reality. I am explaining peoples’ abject reality to you. Take it or leave it but either way continuing to whine about truth and lies isn't going to fix your party.

Everything you've said here is completely and absolutely delirious. This is the literal information of a low-information voter: someone who honestly believes that people are getting vasectomies at rallies or that a senile billionaire who says Haitians refugees are eating dogs as if it were reality is a better potential candidate.
Surely insulting people by calling them "low information voters" (read as: stupid idiot) will win this time despite failing in 2016 and 2024. Also, people were at the very least offered vasectomies at the DNC rally[1], so maybe you should check your information levels, they seem to need a top-off.
You're picking one point in the headline that by itself sounds totally outrageous because in the mind of the low-information voter you read the headline and think to yourself a sketchy booth that says "free vasectomies!!!1" and somebody grabbing you in the middle of a convention saying "Kid, want a free vasectomy?".
In the context of a health check in reproductive health RV that offers a ton of things, _including_ vasectomies in the context of an informed discussion with a health expert, it is not only totally reasonable, but it should be extended to a host of other services that can provided in a mobile clinic the same that mobile vaccination sites were provided during COVID.

You have invented a person in your head to get mad at. Regardless, normal people think having the abortion clinic RV at your largest rally offering to sterilize your supporters is weird. No matter how much you want to dress it up.

Normal people are in favor of abortion and reproductive health. The only way that's weird is if you want to dress it up as weird, which is what people who think you shouldn't be able to do with your body as you please believe.
I used to be a normal person. Then I became a parent. It changed my view on reproductive health entirely. I am not religious or conservative. I simply believe, based on lived experience, that life begins at conception. The tone with which the liberal democrats approach reproductive health, which you are parroting in your comment, is basic, immature, and inhuman. Bringing a new human into this world is a beautiful indescribable experience and the responsibility is shared equally. I no longer believe in ceding my half of that responsibility and my input over the process for the first 9 months solely to the mother. I don’t support a political agenda that believes the choice to terminate a pregnancy is only a woman’s to make, ra ra. Come what may.
I am a low information voter. I am far too busy working to support my family to spend my spare time doing psychedelics and reciting the names of my favorite politicians (and other high society pass-times) for fun. The fact that democrats can’t seem to include these low information voters in their narrative, especially since they’ve proven yet again that they are at least willing to show up and vote, is concerning. I hope the normal people can come to the table with a relevant agenda next time. Virtue signaling reproductive health doesn't put food on the table.
