Regarding your point that Harris has not sat for an interview, I believe she should not do so. The media at large is fixated on that point so much so that makes me think someone, perhaps all, are looking for a "got you moment". Remarkably, it is way better that she interacts directly with voters who will decide this election, not some interviewer. My advice is "stay away from interviews" and keep talking to voters directly.

Agree. There is no need to sit for any MSM interview. Talking directly to voters, being interviewed by them is all we need. MSM won’t carry them or report on them.

Regarding this (and prior comments/posts) raised about Harris not sitting for an interview …

From the Harris camp, it’s a simple risk vs benefit analysis.

1. What risk would she run by giving interviews = potentially significant risk, esp since many would only be looking for anti-Harris sounds bites and not really looking for information

versus

2. What is the potential benefit = not really much. It is pretty unlikely that she can say something in an interview that is going to swing a lot of voters her way.

As for me, I would much rather have her sit down with someone (even someone from her own camp) and just talk about her thoughts and plans for a presidency. A series of 10-15 minutes videos on various topics. Let her write the questions and topics, I don’t care. But I’d like to know what she wants the American people to know. Not using “rah rah rally” language, just normal conversational language.

Unfortunately, even that softball format probably gets torpedoed by risk vs benefit analysis, because again: is it really going to swing voters?

However, if someone really wants information then that would be a useful format.

The DNC suing to keep Jill Stein, Cornel West, and RFK off the ballot sounds a bit... how do you say... anti-democratic. Who is running the country as senile Biden is on vacation for 2 weeks? Why hasn't Harris conducted any interviews or press conferences since she was selected by party elites? Feels like Game of Thrones - for democracy! https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/for-democracy-dnc-got-biden-obama-movie
