Sexism, racism, clueless voters. But here’s the truth. America can absolutely elect a woman. The problem is the ones being pushed forward haven’t been the right ones. >> Sexism. It’s racism. This is an old playbook. >> Yes, I didn’t say any of those things. I didn’t say >> I know. I know. But I’ve heard a lot of these things.
And like I think America’s perfectly willing to elect a woman. They just didn’t like the last two. >> That’s not misogyny. It’s just not being impressed. And that’s fair game. Marailed it. Camela spent years shoved out of sight. So invisible her numbers probably looked better because people forgot she existed. Then barely a hundred days before the election, she’s suddenly the party’s frontwoman.
The excuse, not enough time to know her. No, people knew enough. They just weren’t sold. >> The vice president of United States was basically shoved in a broom closet for three and a half years. Like you couldn’t She was more popular in there. >> Yes. Well, >> I mean, this idea that in in a mass the idea in a mass media age that 107 days is not long enough to know somebody.
You are you are you are you are way overestimating the American people in terms of what they they’re have you have someone like Donald Trump has become a universally known understood loved by some hated by others over the course of being omniresent >> oh spare me this isn’t the 1800s we live in an age where Donald Trump could hijack the national spotlight for nearly a decade just by opening his mouth nobody needed 10 years to figure him out same with Obama and Kamla voters already knew her they just didn’t like what they
saw saw. End of story. Marin pivoted to the media bubble and he was dead on. The echo chamber didn’t start with conservatives. It started when the left locked down the big outlets CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and turned them into a political firewall. Negative stories about Democrats buried awkward gaffs scrubbed rivals painted as cartoon villains on a 24/7 loop.
Trump was the punching bag day after day while Democrats got the candlelight treatment and softball questions that sounded like fan mail. That’s not journalism. That’s campaign advertising. And eventually the audience noticed. >> All right. Do the Democrats need a social media platform, this is for you, John, of their own to combat the Republican influence on Twitter? Well, I mean, I don’t know, but Twitter, it’s funny. It used to be completely left.
that Elon said, “I’m gonna take it over. So, it’s going to be 5050 right down the middle.” He didn’t do that. >> It just switched completely. So, I don’t know. It’s It’s terrible that I think that we have our own media silos. We need places where like this show that there’s not enough of them where everybody comes and everybody hears everybody else from all points of view.
>> That’s exactly why millions bailed on the mainstream and tuned into independent voices. Podcasters like Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn weren’t pretending to be objective, but at least they weren’t running every story through a political smoke machine. And the kicker, those so-called garage podcasts ended up shaping the election more than the entire corporate press.
Think about that. The left had Twitter, the networks, the newspapers, all the megaphones, and they still got outflanked by guys with microphones and a couple of folding chairs. I think the deeper question that the question is getting at is that if you look at the data in this election, the amount of reach of all of these alternative, I’m talking about the whole podcast space mostly, but also social media.
The the interviews that Trump did, not starting with Rogan, but Theo Vaughn and all of these other things he did, incredible reach compared to old mainstream media, right? Where >> John Hleman actually claimed Twitter isn’t a real place. Funny, when it was censoring stories and throttling accounts, it was treated like the town square.
Now that Musk owns it, suddenly it doesn’t count. That’s not clarity. That’s bitterness. Then he tried to spin inflation as a matter of perception. Tell that to families watching grocery bills double or drivers paying through the nose at the pump. This wasn’t in their heads, it was in their wallets. And his big excuse for Harris, America just didn’t have enough time to get to know her.
Translation: Voters are too dumb to make up their minds quickly. Wrong. They knew her and they weren’t impressed. Mar nailed it. Other countries run elections in weeks. By week one, Harris had already shown the awkward laughs, the meandering speeches, the lack of fire. You don’t need a year to know that doesn’t inspire confidence. So, let’s talk about these so-called late deciders.
The media acts like they just needed a few extra months to figure things out. Please. These voters weren’t clueless. They were cautious. They knew the players. They were watching the game. And they were waiting to see who could close strong. And when Harris failed to seal the deal, it wasn’t about time. It was about trust.
Yet, the spin never stops. We’re told it was a flawless campaign or sexism or racism. Same excuses, same tired script. But the truth is far simpler. Voters saw Harris, heard her pitch, and decided she wasn’t the answer. That’s not bigotry. That’s democracy. And here’s the part Democrats can’t stomach.
Americans are absolutely willing to elect a woman. They just weren’t willing to elect her or the last one they tried. Instead of blaming voters, maybe try listening to them. Because until the DNC and their media echo chamber face reality, they’re going to keep losing and keep blaming everyone but themselves. So, I’ll leave it to you.
