But years later all I ever hear brought up is that one closing sentence.
Because that closing sentence ended her political career.
You can’t ever tell voters you’re going to put them out of work. Ever.
You tell coal miners “I want you to have better, safer jobs that don’t involve risking your lives underground for business owners who don’t care about you just so your children and grandchildren can survive and thrive.”
Why can’t more politicians tap into the wage slave idea. It’s all of us against the rich. While Kamala is certainly part of “the rich” she certainly can talk a good game.
Hell it’s basically the southern strategy just a slight pivot.
I know. But she only said it to that small group at the town hall, and only that one sound clip got blasted out without the rest of it. If it had been reported on honestly it wouldn’t have been as damaging.

Pretending sound bites aren’t a thing doesn’t make them not a thing. Politicians need to word things carefully. It’s kinda part of the job.
This ^
Even if journalists report properly on something like this, your adversaries will take the soundbite and use it out of context against you.
TL;DR: don’t hand the enemy ammunition

Yup, ask Howard Dean how that works out.
