To be fair, all her decisions were horrible.
/Left-Wing Staffers Bullied Kamala Into Making One Of Her Worst Campaign Decisions
John Loftus:
Young left-wing staffers in Kamala Harris’s campaign kicked up a backlash over a plan for the vice president to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast, according to a report Wednesday.
…. On Wednesday, the Financial Times shed some new light on the campaign’s decision to nix the Rogan appearance. According to a campaign adviser, woke staffers were upset about the optics of Harris appearing on a show like Rogan’s, which caters to a predominantly non-woke, male audience.
“There was a backlash with some of our progressive staff that didn’t want her to be on it, and how there would be a backlash,” Jennifer Palmieri, a senior adviser to Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, told the Financial Times.
Color me shocked: young, idealistic, left-wing staffers disconnected from reality bullying the supposed adults in the room into making a stupid decision. How many times have we seen that before?
It’s likely Kamala’s appearance on Rogan’s show would not have made a difference. She probably would’ve bombed. But, for a campaign performing so poorly among young men, it’s also possible an interview with the mega-famous podcaster could’ve helped her make inroads with that demographic. It would’ve been worth a shot, at least. And it was a terrible look for her to back down from an appearance after Trump chopped it up with Rogan for hours.
Harsh, but fair:
The saga seems emblematic of so many liberal institutions, which increasingly cow-tow to a small minority of whiny activists. Whether it’s in legacy media companies like The Washington Post or The New York Times or prestigious universities like Harvard or Yale, young left-wingers are taking the older crowds out to lunch. The adults in the room are not adults at all: they’re cowards running little daycare centers for the spoiled and stupid.
