Kamala(tm) Brand Multicultural Flavor Emergency Candidate Substitute: The Ad Campaign

I've gotten pretty good at distinguishing signal from noise in the mainstream news. Not great, but pretty good. But the MSM has turned up the propagandometer to 11 and hit BLAST. Phony Kamalamania is at deafening, mind-liquifying levels. Some polls seem to show that some of it is real--or quasi-real, in that it's catching on. It's astroturf...but astroturf is ideal from the perspective of the Dems. That's the way they like it. 

   Well, that's probably not a fair comment.

   I'm sure both parties would like to be able to turn excitement levels in their base on and off with a central switch...

   But, God, this marketing campaign is so nauseating.

   Trump, for all his myriad flaws, is succeeding (to whatever extent he is actually succeeding) despite not only relentless negative media spin, but outright lies. It's the Two Minutes Hate...but...y'know...eight years worth. 

   However bad he is, at least he is fighting against the empire of madness and lies. Even if he's kind of a dumbass about it.

   I really wish we had DeSantis-Youngkin. Or DeSantis-Gabbard. Or Youngkin-Vivek. Or Rubio-Vance...or, y'know, just about any other ticket.

   But you go to war with the general you have, not the general you want.

   The Dems are just way, way better at this stuff. And they outgun the Pubs to an absurd degree. We don't know what's going on yet, really: they've taken the smoldering embers of the Biden campaign and blasted it with a marketing flamethrower. "Look it's burning!!! White-hot Kamala-brand excitement!!!" Can they sustain this? Will it catch on? Well, early polls seem to say that it is-kinda. 

   Sure, her campaign slogan is basically I'm A Not-White Leftist Woman And Not Trump!...but, for the contemporary Democrat party, that may well be enough.

   And, c'mon...even if we do end up with the worse outcome...bad as that would be for the country...at least we'd be shed of Trump to some degree. F*cking dude is just exhausting...
