“The Democrats don’t matter,” Bannon told Lewis. “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”

That’s the Bannon business model: Flood the zone. Stink up the joint. As Jonathan Rauch once said, citing Bannon’s infamous quote, “This is not about persuasion: This is about disorientation.”

Don't fall for the bait.

Are there affordable EVs being mass-produced that do not suffer from an overabundance of touch-based controls?

It was already made illegal (as of mid 2010) without affirmative opt-in by the consumer.

Anyone who paid overdraft fees beyond August 15, 2010 affirmatively chose to do so.

I don't really know what I'm talking about

I must not either, because I usually just assume that people who actually use the word chirality in a sentence tend to know what they're talking about.

Men do what too, come across as "plastic and fake"?

And that sinks their elections? Not coming across as genuine?

We're talking about Harris vs Trump, right?

Can you say with a straight face that you have ever believed anything you have ever heard out of Trump's mouth came across as genuine? Not just opportunistic? Not just tailored to his audience?

The man who literally slathers himself in excessive amounts of bronzer doesn't come across as plastic?

The arguments about successful female politicians coming across as insincere are tiring. Respectfully, I think you might have missed the point of me linking to that specific video. It is all about the unfair expectations projected onto women, to be one way, but to not too much that way, but also be the opposite way too. It is all about being forced to conform to societal expectations while also being expected to come across with sincerity. It is literally impossible.

Watching both women, I told my wife (a big Clinton and Harris supporter), that they both come across as plastic and fake. Their smiles don't quite reach their eyes. They're trying to ACT authentic, not genuinely BE authentic.

Clinton almost comes across as psychopathic in this regard and while Harris isn't quite so bad, the reaction in her camp to her fakeness didn't help, especially when it came to things like her fake laugh and the coconut tree comment.

When I hear comments like these, only one thing comes to mind:
