It still amuses me greatly how something as low effort and 'non-presidential' as sitting and doing a podcast has had effect on this election.

Like, of all things, the podcasting tours did the best comparison between the two that wasn't behind a veil of media and obsfucation. Trump/Vance showed up on highly popular podcasts everyone knows and just shot the shit like normal people (massively undermining their Nazi labels), while Harris went on a bunch of wierd niche shows with awkward names and came across as unlikable and stupid as always.

This just further shows how much they knew that was the case, and wanted to desperately control it.
