She turned Breaking Points into Bubbling Points.

Used to think she was independent, but she is not. I don’t follow them anymore. She speaks about issues that she has not researched.

In response to the episode title. We were gas-lit for years about Biden's mental state, and then when he messed up so badly that even the media couldn't cover for him anymore, he was replaced by a woman who was even less popular than he was. Until the media (including Krystal on Breaking Points) suddenly decided that Kamala was not so terrible, because she was now the "Not Trump" vote.

Nails.. meet chalkboard. She's dreadful. I live in a blue state and am in a blue profession (mental health) - her perspective is the DEFAULT for the establishment. it's soaked in and embedded everywhere. Like I said.. nails meet chalkboard.

Also, I love how she asks Chris why “Bros” don’t like Harris, she just proceeds to invalidate why people feel the way they do. It’s like you can tell them the reason you are doing what you are doing, and they don’t believe that’s why you’re doing You can be like, “I don’t like the left because they antagonize me for determined characteristics” and her response would be like “really!? Because I don’t see X happening on the right either, so I don’t know” Basically, anything you say about your philosophical stance, your political ideology, your personal intuition, your experience in the world will be invalidate by democrat shills like her who insist your experience isn’t bad, and who pretends like it’s you who has failed to get with it. Basically, it’s your fault for feeling depressed and disenfranchised, and it’s not true that you are going through hardship; according to the left and the Democratic Party—if you are a guy, you’re just an asshole who doesn’t care about freedom and democracy; but they still want you to vote for them or else

0:34 - oh, right because in previous election campaigns it was all about policy, like "Yes We Can!". Give me a break. 1:02 - how is this any different than any other campaign? The idea that the Obama campaigns were driven by policy and not the "historical moment" is hilarious.
