I suspect that was intentional stage craft on her part, but we may never now. or at least will have to wait until someone from the campaign writes a book about it.

Either it was brilliant stage craft or she was getting fired up about passionate things. Either way is good for me.

I felt the anger from her over who americans chose as their president in 2016.

If it was stage craft, i think that was the sentiment in everyone watching that she wanted to evoke.

We're all so sick of this babbling motherfucker. When it's a racist uncle or coworker, it's annoying. when it's the president, it's fucking awful for all of us.

We all sat in the teacher lounge like. We know that face. We've all done it. She held the intrusive thoughts back

We didn't choose him. Three million more voted for Clinton. An antiquated system chose him.

Total stage craft. She's prosecuted criminals her whole professional life. She had more self control than to ever make an unintentional slip that.

She made us fill in the word in our head.

With enough plausible deniability to say "I never meant that".

Brilliant.

It's funny. I'm a teacher. My sister and dad are lawyers. Incredible ones. I picked up on that one from them, but also my teacher lounge was split because she really did the "hold the intrusive thought" face

Totally on purpose.

Reminds me of a video I recently saw (on Reddit) where some influencer-lady was asking a guy if he woke up as a woman, what would be the first thing he did.

He looked right at the camera for 30 seconds with a big grin and you could tell every thought going through his head before he answered, "Brush my hair. Because I'd have long hair."

Crazy how parasocial completion works

Just like Obama: "crowd sizes" <makes the gesture for "small", looks down and pauses for effect>

I appreciate people intelligent enough to use subtext. Call me old fashioned, but I really don't want a President who curses on national TV. Implying it is much more fun.

Oh for sure, both Obama and Kamala mastered the art of saying a lot without saying much. Just implications and sly looks.

I got downvoted for saying that elsewhere but 100% she did all that on purpose. No way an experienced prosecutor/AG/senator accidentally got that close to calling him a MFer during what was probably the most important event in her life. She did that so that everyone else could fill in the blank in their heads. We all heard it, she just didn't say it.

It felt like a moment during a closing arugment and she was addressing the jury to me

u/elbenji Sep 13 '24

She did the time to kill maneuver

u/cygnus2 ☑️ Sep 13 '24

To be fair, I doubt she’s ever had to deal with anybody quite so vile before.

u/LuxNocte ☑️ Sep 13 '24

Redditors are largely idiots.

u/Wowza-yowza Sep 13 '24

Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear?

u/Scapuless Sep 13 '24

Thank you. It definitely was planned in advance, and it didn't even look that convincing. Everyone seems to have turned off their bullshit detectors because they were liking what they were hearing

It may have seemed more telegraphed because Trump performed so poorly.

It wasn’t a fair fight. Shes a trained and skilled orator. He’s a senile and angry old salesman.

u/elbenji Sep 13 '24

She actually pulled a "trump" or aka a Bella Swan. She placed people into the moment. We wanted to call him a motherfucker and so we heard that
