I watched multiple speeches given by kamala and I watched the debate. This is the message I came away with and judging by the outcome of the election Im thinking that's the message most people got. Intention is irrelevant perception is what matters and they failed
Except Harris did mention Trump's age a few times (after the first debate). If you didn't see it, you only looked at the disinformation channels, or it got drowned out by them.
Well no dems voted for Trump, and his voters don't care about his age because it's a cult of personality
Oh totally, attacking Trump's age was never going to do anything, regardless of media hypocrisy; it was still righ to mention it. It's also true that Biden was too old and people wouldn't have voted for him.
So far it looks like that is not true. Just look at some of the swing state exit polls. Or hell that little town of 6 people that always announces first, 2020 all 6 voted Dems and this time it was 3 and 3.
Try actually looking at trends instead of a town of 6 and you won't say this stupid shit
? I did. That was just an easy example.
