13. So she's someone different
Tue Jul 23, 2024, 01:11 PM
Jul 2024

There's a lot of voters who were begging for, "someone, anyone, but Trump or Biden!"

There's a common group of voters who don't really pay attention who are just disgusted with the whole business and were sick of Biden v Trump and hearing about it all the time. "Why can't we get 2 new candidates?" I really think that group won't care about a lot other than this is someone different they can vote for.

And then there is a large group of younger voters also disgusted with everything that were lamenting having two "relics" to choose from. Kamala is definitely going to get that group off their butts and involved. They havbe been saying for years they want a younger choice, they jsut got what they asked for. And you can see this is real as Kamala is basically viral on all social media platforms right now, she's trending everywhere.
