She has him backed into the wall, it's great to see him so scared.

I actually do worry about this, because Harris is a good enough speaker, but the whole meme of the coconut tree stems from her speaking in ways that go over average people's heads. And DJT, for as much as I hate him, is very good at appealing to the lowest common denominator, producing sound bites, and derailing/distracting from discussions of substance. I'm hoping KH's comms team is prepping her really well, not just to have solid talking points and speak more naturally colloquially, but also to deal with a demagogue like Trump.

She is known for her personable nature, and even many on the right who don't agree with her politically find her quite charming. In a debate, she's likely focus on clear, relatable communication. Her comms team is surely preparing her well to handle a demagogue like Trump.

I remember her debate against Pence. I was so worried for her and the moderator was a piece of shit but her "I'm talking. I'm talking." was sooooooo effective. To balance that authoritative tone while not being angry or defensive when 2 people are working against you...

She's a pro at this.

Her extensive prior training (both as a law student and as a lawyer) come through brilliantly in debate contexts. She does her best work when she's facing someone down.

It feels amazing to have hope again after so long!

I can't believe years we've been calling MAGA/GOP people racists, fascists, Actual Nazis, etc and it's like water off a duck's back.

But calling them weird?

It's what girls and women would say to them and they don't like it.

[recognitions]

Somebody said it makes sense because they like the idea of being scary and dangerous but the weird thing just makes them look like the screwed-up losers they are

[espressotorte]

Bingo.
