Oh yeah it has backfired. "Well i was going to vote for Kamala, but that whole accent thing changed my mind."
I don’t like Harris’ laugh and agree she changes accent depending on audience but those are petty criticisms. Look how much time you and others critics have spent attacking her on her cackling. Her not doing interviews, which she has done now, isn’t petty but it’s not really that substantive and as noted isn’t really affecting her in the polls. Her policy position flip flops are substantial and I myself called her responses in the interview evasive. The problem though is that the pro Trump side spend an inordinate amount of time criticizing her cackle and her previous love life than focussing on policy position. If you want to blame for the lack of substantial discussion on things like Harris / Walz policy positions you might want to start with the side that spends so much time going about Harris’ laugh and what rank Walz retired at.

I've never mocked her laugh. For me its been on her lack of interviews (she's done one, with Walz), not posting policy positions on her website, frequent flip-flops, and presenting herself as having struggled financially when that was only a brief period compared to the comfortable life she had starting at age 11. Her hypocrisy is also wild too, like claiming she wouldn't take a Trump vaccine but later blaming the pandemic on him. It's an election cycle and nitpicking happens, but Trump at least answers questions daily, which is a stronger approach. My concern with how the DD has declined is that criticism from the left seems off-limits, while they're quick to target republicans. This kind of behavior, along with all the labels is what pushed me away from the Democrats when I was semi-homeless many years ago. It's childish and that strategy won’t work well come November.
I would dismiss the need to use it to divide people based on their algorithms. I would dismiss the attempted use at dehumanizing people and making others fearful.
And Kamala is rotten and just watches Biden aimlessly climbs a Russian plane like the confused dementia senior nutcase he is,... such an embarrassing administration- I can't wait for this to be done
