Her pop culture fluency is delighting Democrats who’d either never known or forgotten that politics can be fun.
The whole reason this coconut tree meme stuff takes off is that it's not because of Kamala's "pop culture fluency" (which she doesn't have), but that it seems to have started as a grassroots thing that had nothing to do with her and her campaign staffers. It's just her being unhinged and saying weird shit and people memeing about it. No PR ghoul would've dared to touch her coconut tree clip with a ten foot pole. That's exactly why people like it. If the campaing leans into this too hard instead of letting it run its course, if the Dem establishment picks it up and posts about it instead of just amplifying it on social media, they'll pokemon go to the polls the entire thing.
lmao, your egg's about to get cracked, James
Fucking number genius fried his brain so hard with studying US electoralism that he thinks an 80/20 split is "dividing a coalition in half".
Let me make a chart for this:
-

So long and thanks for all the fish!
It's important to note that this only applies to women (especially black women). When Michael Phelps has lactate levels twice as high as his competitors and literal webbing between his fingers or when Usain Bolt's limbs exactly match the length for ideal leverage when running, nobody gives a fuck, then they're just celebrated as superheros and competitors without their physiological advantage have to suck it up that the olympic level of their sport is completely dominated by one person. But when a trans woman scores 14th place in a disc golf tournament, or when Lia Thomas wins one competition and improves her ranking from 60th place in the men's national ranking to 48th place in the women's national ranking, we have to pretend that bigots demanding genital inspections for highschool girls is "a complicated issue" and not a reason to feed the bigots into a woodchipper.
I'd prefer a nuclear submarine because i'm a sub with nuclear takes.
No more half measures, Walter
finally, somebody gives a sufficient explanation for the "war on Christmas" conspiracy theories
