I’m kinda scared that she’s pulling a lot of pop culture moves like HRC. She’s not as “smooth” as Obama, and people hyper criticize women as incompetent for trying to seem relatable[/quote]

The whole “BRAT” thing is beyond embarrassing and pandering.  [/quote]
It really really annoyed me, and then I realized if I was 20 and scrolling on Twitter that a presidential candidate is casually boosting Charli XCX, I’d be pretty f-ing ecstatic to see someone who sorta gets it. I bet her young interns suggested it[/quote]

It’s not ok. It’s as the kids say, super cringe .

You don’t want to see people your parents age using the new lingo and TikTok verbiage . It’s very cringe . Calling yourself a brat at 60 years old is super super embarrassing [/quote]
Do you know any young people? I work with them everyday as a professor. They’re eating this up. We’re just old and sick of politicians not acting, you know, political.[/quote]

Kids are smart and know when they’re being pandered to. If you started a lecture calling yourself a brat like Charli XCX, they’d laugh at you .

I dare you to try and see if you’re taken seriously by them .

Tulsi Gabbard was right. Kamala doesn’t know how to be herself in a campaign because she doesn’t know who she is and what she stands for . She’s an empty pantssuit with a nervous belly laugh  and happy smile [/quote]
I don’t really need to test trial my hipness. I’m not claiming Kamala to be Obama, but my students really like Obama (they make jokes about him bombing people which are out of pocket but they like him), because they like his cool dad energy and Spotify playlists of the year. For black students, she reminds them of their “aunties”- really any older person in the family who’s fun to be around. For my other students, they used to hate her for the constant laughing, but now they have taken her so unseriously that they genuinely like her. One of my students commented that she gives them “Leslie Knope energy, vibes…”

Growing up during an Obama-trump transition must make politics feel like one massive joke.[/quote]

Obama had depth to counter his levity .  He was a great orator . Could make fun of himself  in the same way W Bush could.

Good comedic timing. Personable . I knew Barack’s whole life story when he made that stellar 2004 DNC speech/one of the best political star making  speeches in history . Republicans even give him that. And he wrote that speech himself. Does the DNC on running a keynote speaker this year that has the same future promise to be the next one in charge?

He also ran on a message of hope and barely mentioned Bush or antagonized him by name something Bush really appreciated.

I can’t say Kamala has that same charm. She comes off as super antagonistic perhaps due to her trial lawyer days . Hillary had the same problem .  If she continues to just talk about Donald Trump for most of her speeches , she will lose [/quote]
She does not come off as antagonistic. Give me a break. She is always smiling. I liked Obama but he often came off as stiff.and low energy and his voice was very flat. If anything, she needs to tone down the exuberance. Her off-the-cuff remarks were she laughs too much make her look unserious and can be cringeworthy. I'm hoping she will get coaching to stop that. But overall she has positive energy and seems like she is a happy person. All that matters is how that contrasts with Trump. He is like a raging Rumpelstilskin figure at this point so she's got an advantage there.[/quote]

I disagree, I ended up really appreciating Obama. He could joke when it was appropriate but then when he was serious he was captivating.

I need to watch more of Kamala to come to a conclusion about that aspect of her, but she seems like a relatively nice person who can be fun.

I just don’t like her policies. Or at least the policies she had in 2020. She needs to come out being much more restrictive on immigration. Just basing off of her 2020 stance… nope. Not going to vote for her.

If she switches things up on that then maybe. I mean there’s two main reasons I’m not a Democrat anymore and the biggest one is immigration. If they get more Trumpy on immigration but keep everything else I’d be as enthusiastic as I was when I walked myself to my local precinct to caucus for Bernie in 2016.[/quote]
You were never going to vote for the Dems, and you don’t need to do the whole “I’m a centrist who isn’t represented thing.” We get it. Go vote for trump, he’ll get that border sealed on up, just like in 2016-2020 when we had a great border situation💀[/quote]
