Here is the issue: Americans are not used to do such short campaigns.. Also... Australian campaigns are also more efficient: in terms of bang for the bucks, in terms of information given to voters (less time to lie around and spin stuff), in terms of time effectiveness, and in terms of getting democratic results. But shifting to an Australian style short campaign would be difficult for the institutions. A lot of rules would need to be changed.

@@kutto5017 Yes and no. I would put it more as a sort of absurd toxic love/hate relationship. If you talk about staying in power: well, both parties are doing that very well and it helps to secure this power. If you talk about politicians having more social advantages because of that system: they also do that... However, it's also a dysfunction that is incredibly costly for the parties. That election this year will cost billions. And it limits the work of servicing the people, which is why their members are elected and why people vote for them... You have elected officials who need to get on the phone every day to get money for the party, which is demeaning and feels dirty. But neither party would want to change that system by working together because they fear losing some advantages.

[@monkeeseemonkeedoo3745]

I doubt the rest of the world is any better... But yes, you are right.

The issue is we have so many millions justifying Harris avoids even this bare minimum, as bad as the lack of substance is, people happily justify even less constantly.

So why the rush? Media personalities want some limelight? Sound bites to pick apart and spin around never understanding the words coming from her mouth? Be patient, it's coming.

[@monkeeseemonkeedoo3745]

I just want to see unscripted events, where she is pushed at least a little bit. This is a woman who wants to be President, who will have to deal toughly with some world leaders, she should show the people she can handle that. I don't have any confidence that she can, personally. I believe she's avoiding unscripted events and any challenge because she can't deal with it. You can see the debates from 4 years ago, or even interviews of her as VP, and it's obvious that she crumbles.

[@markd.9538]

@@monkeeseemonkeedoo3745 You do realise the alternative to Kamala Harris is a criminally convicted felon, right?

[@cherylsamaniego]

No! Future President Harris does not have to. Everyone should call out every time Trump lies.

[@pegacorn13]

Trump doesn't engage in interviews: he uses the tv time to repeat his rambling lies and attacks while the press sits back and lets him do it without a single fact check.

[@thecozman1]

I had my doubts, but Kamala Harris hit the ground running with such energy, what a relief 😅 Now we just need her to crush Trump in a debate... And we need the voters to turn up.

[@goodwinter6017]

So fake, no body is even bothering taking it seriously anymore.

[@tmurray6812]

Appalling drivel. Will this puff go off the air if Trump wins?

[@slepper98]

Next four years will be excuses including stolen election.

[@bobthebuilder9638]

Exacty the opposite - let Trump talk as much as he likes - the more the better. Kamala should just stand back and watch the psychotic disintegration from a healthy distance.

[@TK199999]

Whoa whoa whoa.... This show takes place in Australia? What other lies and deceptions have these two thrust upon me? I just thought this show was shot in Sydney Wisconsin?

[@williamwilliam]

Why would anyone bother and even want to talk to that Trump guy when everybody knows he lie like hell about everything. Total waste of time!

[@byLizzDevine]

Because THE Trump Team SAYS She SHOULD ? Why Would { SHPULD } She Talk To TRUMPS' Team MateS!!

[@CharlieH-ui8pw]

Let him simmer...squeeze him then present message.

[@violettownmicroenterprises1528]

She is super bright, leave her to decide herself if she wants to do interviews, and mote she is still almost begging trump to debate.

[@monkeeseemonkeedoo3745]

If she's so bright, she should be able to handle reporters. She can't, she's shown this before, she's afraid and avoiding interviews. Avoiding them harder than Biden did when he was candidate, President, AND had obvious signs dementia.

[@campaignresources]

In answer to that stupid Republican woman Biden and Harris had only 2 years. Then the House went to Republicans and everything stopped. Kamala can't do those things because she is the VP. Do you understand what that means? What exactly did Trump accomplish in four years? Nothing much.

[@gingerpotts4136]

never Trump

19:51 Trump at bedmister, said immigrants are taking more than 100% of new jobs , said could be more like 107%😮🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@KuriosDiogenesJar]

Joh used to refer to talking to the Press as, Feeding the chooks." His favourite response to questions was, "Well don't you worry about that. "He had more of a speech impediment than Biden.

[@noglobo]

He did a better job thanks to ABCs Alan Callahan as his media trainer. Joh also had the guts to front the opposition town halls and convince many. He also came from poverty, but ended up rich thanks to the paper bags.

[@KuriosDiogenesJar]

@@noglobo If my dodgy memory is correct, after prison, I think Callahan got an extravagantly high salary running the Queensland RSPCA.

JD Vance just has that vibe of a guy at a bar you watch your drink around.

[@sabinehahn9774]

Nope - she doesn't owe the media nothing. I'm sure they'll be able to get the message out. The best move for the Democratic campaign is to let the GOP candidates just talk.

[@anthonymielich743]

Why, It’s more fun, Watching Donny Lie, and Crying.

[@Raapatrolsdotorg]

9:00 re interviews by VP Harris, she could say in 2 week's ( like Trump says to everything if controversy) but actually delivers 😂😂😂😂😂

[@lucycarola]

I was about to say when I saw this, “did he really replicate the entrance of the White House rose garden???” That’s exactly what that looks like!

[@jcanyiam8309]

42:14 SHUT UP!!! HARRIS has been a VP for three and half years- NOT THE PRESIDENT. Only the President can implement laws, not the VP Congress may pass the laws, but the president makes the rules. These are things like regulations or the specifics of how a law is applied.

[@Daniel-pm7pr]

It is crazy to say that we already know tRump and what he will say, so we accept it. What kind of BS.

[@sloppynyuszi]

Rogan has declined Trump on his show many times. He has also declined Biden. It’s very rare he will get a politician on. He made exceptions For Tulsi, Bernie and RFK, but honestly he needs to stick to scientists, flat earthers, comedians and actors. That show doesn’t need partisan politics.

[@GrannyGreymatter]

or he should stick to wrestling or whatever he does.

[@iamantiwar2003]

She doesn't need to speak to the press.

[@jeanhendersonharley3228]

Not right now after the mess with trump she doesn't have to get on a tv interviw

[@davidhack2409]

Another ripper chat lads! Only 80 days!! 🎉

[@maryannedouglas]

Legacy press simply has to understand their time has passed. Kamala is talking to people, the voting public, just not through mainstream media. She's doing just fine.

[@jo-annejohnson4320]

People are sick and tired of Trump,

[@jasonjasonjason564]

Re controlled answers: Harris is a seasoned prosecutor. You'd expect her to be able to give measured answers, not lose her cool. If she plays to those strengths trump would struggle in any debate

[@GrannyGreymatter]

Hence the one line answers at the plane. Somehow that's a bad thing? Nah, that's smart

[@Shadow17479]

If Trump had good solid policies it wouldn't matter who he was racing against.
