Host Kareem Rahma said he felt like it would have cost Harris the 2024 election
Kareem buddy you’re gonna wanna sit down for this one
from what i saw, he clarified that he didn’t want to be blamed for it by psychotic people, not that he thinks he has that kind of power in particular, or that she really had a chance otherwise.
I know it’s explained in the article but I thought the byline was funny
starting to think dems stopped with the “republicans are weird” strategy because they realized kamala is also really weird
I’m torn on this, because “bacon is a spice” is equally likely to be something Kamala came up with organically because she’s that bizarre, as it is that her advisers came up with it as a cringe combination of 2010’s “le epic bacon” memes and that “is a hot dog a sandwich?” debate.

This makes a disturbing amount of sense. Did you work for KKKamala?
I mean, bacon is a spice was literally something said back then so. I know several people that said it.
Edit:
e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/kae06t/can_bacon_be_considered_as_a_spice/
They also sell premade “bacon bits” in the spice sections of some
grocery storesgrocery SStores
I love nitrates 😋
I think there some expired ones in my cabinet actually.
Aren’t they just TVP with questionable seasoning and red food coloring? Lol
No clue, don’t really eat them.

What’s their excuse for not releasing it now? Protecting the Democratic brand?
the last known copy is being held by the SCP Foundation for being lethally cringe
I think he just finds it cringe and doesn’t want to be associated with it lol
hate this guys content for its “x celebrity is so relatably quirked up” psyop
Rahma feared at the time that he would be blamed if Harris lost the election.
Probably correct
“Do you think that was her opinion, or do you think she got like a research group to try and figure something out,” Bertoni asked in a longer version of the clip.
“Research group, because originally the take that I was pitched was great,” Rahma replied.
her take? fake, because it was not his take
“It was that she does not like to take her shoes off on airplanes.”
??? thats not a take its basic courtesy
Bro Asian airlines give everyone slippers and everyone takes their shoes off. Keeping your shoes on during long flights is not good for you, at all.
it just stinks like obvious engagement bait moreso than being a genuinely “weird” “take”
“Kamala: I don’t like to take my shoes off”
“same I hate shoes removers send them to jail”
“wait but I take my shoes off? actually, they do it on other airlines too”
“nooo keep them on!!!”
which makes sense since it was the content creator that proposed it rather than being an actually held belief of Kamala’s
“omg i bet trump takes his shoes off like this and wriggles his nasty little piggies ewww gross”
100%, engagement bait works on me far too often for my own comfort.
Learned thar from Die Hard
Fists with your toes, huh?
I’d vote for
We can put words on top of the emojis? Science has gone too far
I’m saving future historians years of work by annotating my hieroglyphs
Damn this is some emoji evolution
u got me reading the source code of your comment to understand how u did that
Oh, I should explain so no one else has to figure it out by looking at a mess of links:
{bottom | top} becomes bottom with the cool mark up system we have!
Now you can just replace the bottom text with an emote or image… which may or may not be exploiting an oversight by the devs
This discovery will revolutionise emoji usage
Edit: test post disregard
Modern day hieroglyphics
Lmao
This is even better than if the text actually got into the bubble correctly
She’s a weird alien person just like Trump is, just like Biden is, just like JD Vance is, just like Hillary Clinton is, just like George W. Bush is.
🎯
Should be an emoji
TLDR: her take was “bacon is a spice.” the host said this was something they changed it to before the interview, probably because some research team recommended it. When they originally booked the interview her take was supposed to be “I don’t like to take my shoes off on airplanes.”
Y’all take your shoes off on airplanes?
think rich class seats, not the way we travel. when you have a little cubicle of your own, you probably do take off your shoes
I definitely have for overnight ones, yeah. I usually go and change socks in the bathroom to not stink
All the Asian airlines I’ve ridden give you slippers when you get on tje plane, because wearing your shoes on a long flight is bad for your blood flow and can exacerbate the swelling you’re already going to get from sitting for that long. Long story short, yes, and so should you.
As a public service and self sacrifice, I will never remove my shoes on a plane.
I feel that, for sure. I always make sure to shower right before leaving for the airport and wear loose fitting shoes to minimize sweat until I get on the plane. One time I even swapped socks mid flight just to be extra safe.
Well damn, I guess I never really take long enough flights for it but I suppose I would take my shoes off if I were flying like over night or something.
Yeah going across the oceans is when it’s really most important. It’s also important to get up and stretch and walk around every few hours too. My last flight home I got bumped to a different flight and got stuck in the middle seat for 14 hours, and so I didn’t really get up except to pee, and my feet hurt so bad afterwards, it was miserable. I usually just sleep 90% of the flight, wake up every few hours, wander around, brush my teeth, splash water on my face, do some light stretches in the aisle, and sit back down and go back to sleep. Get some funny looks, but it’s worth it to not feel like poo after.
I mean I always wear slides to the airport, so taking those off isn’t that much different from keeping them on. I wouldn’t take off actual shoes though
You’re telling me democrats couldn’t find anyone else that was remotely more charismatic? Normally there is no such thing as bad publicity but she was so damn bad that it was indeed bad publicity.
It’s the result of skipping the primary to go all-in on Biden right up until he shat his pants on national television.
the dems aren’t trying to win, so they’re actively looking for the least charismatic people they can find. they’re just trying to play the role of a nominally leftist party in the theater of bourgeois democracy
winning actually makes their lives harder because they then have to come up with reasons for not doing anything, instead of just complaining about republicans while letting them do everything they want
I doubt it would make a difference. People went out of their way to defend all the cringe pandering Hillary did like the “hot sauce” soundbite.
You guys think “bacon is a spice” is weird but i was already going to get bac-o’s (bacon flavored tofu) to grind up to season vegan food when i’m back at work. and people will think Im a genius. Im going to do a Hawaiian pasta salad with that shit crumbled in there and people are gonna be like WOAH
As a kid I once made a salad drenched in ranch dressing and those fake bacon bacos things. I also happened to be recovering from the flu. Not the best choice of food when I’d been vomiting consistently for like a day or two.
Still can’t eat ranch dressing without remembering the horrible flavors…
my family used to fuckin love bac-o’s for mashed potatoes and shit.
He’s hiding something. Kamala actually said “does the Narwhal Bacon at midnight” and he hid it in fear of revealing she’s a redditor.
Is this a joke, because the phrase “bacon is a spice” really doesn’t strike me as that weird. It’s clearly meant to mean that bacon is the sort of thing many people add to literally everything to give it a bacon flavour. People use it like a spice. I have no idea what this show is so I’m not really sure how to interpret this claim that this would have cost the election
