This, as much as anything, told me right away that Kamala has the chops for the job. I'm sure she has advisors who counseled that independent outreach was job #1 and she should present herself as a moderate out of the gate. What did she do? She went on Ru Paul's drag race (among other things) and rallied the ******* base, that's what she did."
Keeping your voters enthusiastic is the key to getting them to the polls when early voting begins.
This metric dramatically changed for Democrats when Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid and endorsed Kamala Harris:
- Less than a month ago, a new Wall Street Journal poll found just 37% of Biden voters were enthusiastic about him, but now 81% of Harris voters are enthusiastic about her. That compares to 85% of Republicans who say they’re enthusiastic about Donald Trump.
- A new ABC/Ipsos poll shows 88% of Democrats are now enthusiastic about Harris as the nominee, while 82% of Republicans say the same about Trump.
As Democratic pollster Mike Bocian told the Wall Street Journal: “This is an astounding change.” ..."

Or, “I’m not Trump’s wife. I won’t let him lie to me. And I definitely won’t let him lie about me.”
yeah and "weird" is an easy, normal descriptor that we've all used and will continue to use in regular daily conversation to describe right wing policy unlike the "grave threat to our democracy" stuff that was coming out of the Biden camp that i think makes undecided's eyes glaze over and/or roll a bit, unfortunately.The more I think about it, the “weird” tag is catching on because it has truth to it but I think also because it is not as harsh as the Biden attacks. Weird is something you can play with, it is something you don’t want in a leader but it is not apocalyptic. These dudes are just weird. Like avoid them on the Subway but not call the cops dangerous.
It lowers the temperature but still calls out the policies and behavior.
I think it's more that it's relatable and unrebuttable. Is Trump an existential threat to democracy? Well, liberals say he is, he and conservatives say he isn't, who to believe? It requires thought to figure out who is correct, and that process is subject to strong confirmation bias. If you want to like Trump, you can do what the mouthbreathers on the other board do: deny and accuse liberals of being hysterical.The more I think about it, the “weird” tag is catching on because it has truth to it but I think also because it is not as harsh as the Biden attacks.

That's just so weird.Trump is trying a new nickname (Crazy Kamala, I guess Lying Kamala didn’t catch on) and has some complaints:
