Just like the mainstream media gave the birthers traction, similarly they harm Kamala Harris.

October 6, 2024 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

“What does it mean to say that Kamala Harris,” Maya Wiley asked. “Who has, in my calculation, worked so hard to be a unifying candidate, is still constantly blamed for falling short on something that society itself is not fixing?”

Kamala Harris is fighting on several fronts

Short Summary: The discussion focuses on the challenges Kamala Harris faces in connecting with young male voters, particularly young white men. Commentators argue that despite the Democratic Party‘s policies aligning with the interests of young men, such as student loan forgiveness and decriminalization of marijuana, the party has not effectively communicated its message to them. The mainstream media‘s complicity in perpetuating divisive narratives, similar to how they fueled the Obama birther movement, further exacerbates this disconnect. Maya Wiley highlights how societal issues, not Harris alone, are to blame for these divisions.

  • Kamala Harris struggles to connect with young male voters, especially white men, despite policies that align with their interests.
  • Donald Trump has successfully appealed to this demographic through grievance-based rhetoric.
  • The media contributes to the narrative of Harris’s failure, just as it gave traction to the birther movement against Obama.
  • Young men feel alienated by progressive values, particularly inclusivity issues and cancel culture.
  • Maya Wiley emphasizes that societal problems, not Harris herself, are responsible for the disconnect with these voters.

The media’s failure to accurately represent Kamala Harris’s efforts and policies is reminiscent of how they enabled the birther conspiracy against Barack Obama. Rather than challenging the divisive narratives pushed by the right, the media amplifies them, leaving young men disillusioned with the Democratic Party. Progressive policies that directly benefit these men, such as student debt relief and marijuana decriminalization, are overlooked in favor of sensationalized grievances, creating an unnecessary rift in the electorate.
