I keep thinking about Kamala Harris' signature speech line: "The strength of a leader lies not in who you knock down, but in who you lift up." She said it practically every day through the campaign. It was an indelible part of her brand, celebrated by supporters, and mocked by critics as cringe. - ThreadSky

Shes 100% class. People who aren’t exposed to that as a norm tend to make fun of it. It’s a sad reality.

Yes, it was for most of us. However, I'm afraid 'hard work is good work, we like hard work' turned off 2 entire younger generations. We're talking about people that make it their lifes goal to avoid hard work. Get rich quick as an influencer. Get rich quick in crypto. They're living an illusion.

They buy everything new that comes out, better, bigger, more, more, more, and they charge it all. Then they wonder why they cannot afford a home or an apartment.

You're so right.

Heart was in the right place, but at the end of the day these are Americans; it is Absolutely about who you can knock down

**..as well

It's all the other side has. Mocking. Cringe. Woke. Love. They hate decency.

And who Kamala decided to lift up was Liz Cheney.

Yes Adam, she participated in knocking down #Palestinians and lifting up #Zionist #Israelis.
That was one of her strengths - complicity in #genocide.
All she was, was the 'least worst' of the two.
#FreePalestine #FreeLebanon #FreeSyria from #Zionists

She is an American hero

Anyway, here's a Ram truck ad that premiered two weeks after the election and is in heavy rotation during sports programming, in which J.J. Watt says "I realized life isn't about how many people you can knock down. It's about how many people you can lift up." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgXte-teU7s

Great sentiment, hope it sells the amount of trucks they want it to

JJ Watt would you like to be the 2028 Dem nominee for President? You don't even have to change Kamala's stump speech you just have to say it while looking/acting like JJ Watt!

This ad is like the 2024 version of “Fight Song” for me.

Cringe is good, politically. Most people are very uncool, and the hip people are the last ones to listen to.

zpaudio.bsky.social•66 days ago

Cringe and ineffective -it sounds a little like something you would see in some airport book for middle mana.

We could have had an intelligent, hardworking, savvy woman for President but too many fragile egos couldn't handle it.
So now we are stuck with a tantrum throwing, 75 i.q. old guy that is allowing a fascist immigrant idiot tell him what to do because he's given him lots of money.
Yes, I'm angry.

Republicans are why we can't have nice things.
