A Florida area known for being a "hotbed of Trump support" is reportedly seeing a bump in enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday.
As Trump and Harris gear up to face one another in November's election, each candidate has made an effort to make inroads on the territories typicall...
I appreciate the concern but Hillary did not get overhyped. She wasn’t moving anyone like this.
Yep most people I know had to repress feelings of repulsion voting Clinton, the disinformation campaigns were pretty effective. Harris feels different, people with no history of political interest are paying attention.
Disinformation didn’t force Clinton to behave the way she did in 2008, breeding resentment within the party. Disinformation didn’t force her to ignore swing states in 2016.
That’s what I remember. People not liking Hillary. It seems totally different with Harris. I hope it stays that way.
The first seven presidential elections in my lifetime had either a Bush or a Clinton on the ticket. The eighth had a Clinton as a major player in the primaries. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that we had a Bush/Clinton-free election. Only to go right back to a Clinton four years later. I think it was the first, but definitely not the last, time I asked myself “WTF is this timeline?” 2016 was the only election I sat out because fuck that shit. (For the record, my state went blue by a comfortable margin, my protest non-vote meant nothing.) And after 4 years of flabbergasting insanity and inanity, the best the DNC could come up with is Biden? And Trump never went away, and then that train wreck of a “debate.”
So yeah, Harris has been an unexpected breath of fresh air.
Pass the coconuts.
And, it will show how you don’t need someone with a long run up to make meaningful change or get on a ticket. Shortening the election process and showing flexibility will be great…if Harris wins.
If the only thing that comes out of this election is the loss of a 36 month campaign window, I would be soooooo happy.
