I don’t think I said that the feel good vibes are the only thing that will compel me to vote for Kamala. I was merely trying to say that the relief and joy I felt at Biden leaving the race and handing the reins to Kamala truly shocked me and made me appreciate the important role emotions and vibes play in politics and people’s perception of candidates. I’m not ashamed to say that I not immune from that phenomenon. Of course, abortion rights are one of the most important substantive issues for me, and I see Kamala as a much better advocate than Biden, and certainly more trustworthy than Trump on the issue. And who knows? Perhaps in a few months we might just be saying, the economy is critical, no doubt, but in the end, it was abortion rights, stupid. We’ll see.
"One of those times when you don’t know what you want or need until you get it. And, when you get it, oh boy does it feels wonderful!" -- I have heard this exact sentiment repeated by so many different people... I almost don't know how to parse it. It's really interesting!
TDish certainly has a right to react however she cares to. But it scares me to death that she is all in Kamala because Kamala makes her feel good.
As bill and Hilary repeated many times, "It's the economy, stupid". I don't care how much any candidate smiles or how much I do or don't like them. What matters is, are they competent? To what extent do they comprehend the issues? To what extent do they have it in them to be the CEO of the most significant government in the world? How capably, and based on what previous experience, will they spend trillions of dollars a year of taxpayer money.
Kamala makes TDish feel good? That's it? No wonder our government is the mess it is. We keep electing people, not on their capabilities, but on their smiles.
