Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

A new book alleges that Kamala Harris was set to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast during the 2024 campaign but was blocked when Rogan’s team suddenly scheduled Donald Trump instead.

Harris’ team carefully planned a trip to Texas to align with Rogan’s terms, only to be told he was unavailable—only for Trump to secure an interview that same day.

The book claims Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White influenced Rogan’s decision.

Harris’ team made a last-minute attempt for an interview, but Rogan declined.

I think her going on his podcast would have been a fucking disaster.

She probably would have given a bunch of PR nothing sandwich answers and Joe would have lost interest.

I mean who knows, maybe it would have gone over amazing, but thinking Kamala lost because of that podcast or Trump won because of that podcast is a fucking anatomical amount of cope from the Democrats.

There is a long list of consistent missteps that come before the whole podcast fiasco for the Democrats.
