1. One word to young people: VOTE!

[beaglelover]

52. I would add another word......PLEASE

[Footay]

2. Same

Yesterday was such a good day on social for her. The kind of creativity and positivity I haven't seen since 2008. I hope it continues.

[3Hotdogs]

17. And the contrast: Overweight, old... New Age music in the background while he drones on about nonsense.

I believe the clips are more "positive" than 2008. Before yesterday, I didn't have any enthusiasm for her, expect that she wasn't the Anal Fistula.

After seeing the clips ----- more of them and we will win.

[honest.abe]

3. This is going to be huge.

Being seen as cool will bring out young voters in droves… plus the “Swifties”.

I think we are going to win this thing!

[Beachnutt]

4. 41 million Gen Z voters this year

according to the NBC link above.

[Island Blue]

5. My nephew is one of them

He turned 18 last week and is going to register to vote before he leaves for school.

[Sky Jewels]

54. And the Reagan-loving Silent Generation is dwindling down to a tiny percentage of active voters.

As Republicans die off on one end, they're largely not being replaced on the front end, as Gen Z ages into voting. I mean, yeah, sure, there are some toxic women-hating incel bros and some Proud Boy type dudes and such that will vote for Trump, but for the most part Gen Z ain't buying what the GQP is selling.

[BlueTsunami2018]

6. Yes, pop stars are posting about it.

Charlie XCX, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Little Nas X, Demi Lovato, Cardi B and more have all posted in support. The young people I see on socials are energized and ready to go.

This might be the most united I’ve seen Democrats in like…..ever.

While we all love President Biden, this might have been the chess move of all chess moves.

[RJ_MacReady]

20. the grand finale

Will be when Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris.

[BlueTsunami2018]

21. Yes, that will be huge.

Her influence is massive.

[calguy]

27. As massive as Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Hulk Hogan?

[BComplex]

34. Hahaha!

[llmart]

35. LOL!

They're all three massive failures and past their sell-by date.

[kwolf68]

40. No one can pack in a county fair

In Central Arkansas like those guys. We have no chance with our lackluster roster of stars.

[musclecar6]

30. Yes

Her fans are massive with men and women especially the young people. Now that she's going with Travis Kelce who seems like a nice guy who is a major football star, that will also bring in more voters for Kamala. It's all good.

[LymphocyteLover]

7. it's true-- my 20 year old daughter was showing me some of the memes and videos last night

Kamala is a sensation!

[LymphocyteLover]

8. Rachel Maddow went over some of this last night... I still don't quite get the brat thing

but I'm old...

[Irish_Dem]

11. Kamala is "brat summer."

The kids love it.
It is some sort of girl energy?

Not sure I understand it yet.

It is from a song, an album.

That's all I know.

One of the 27 y/o in my family was trying to explain it to me last night.
I only understood a few words of the explanation.

[LymphocyteLover]

12. LOL! Exactly

[FailureToCommunicate]

26. Not sure it will help explain, but here is some critique...and Charli xcx's video...

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/jul/16/brat-summer-is-the-long-era-of-clean-living-finally-over

[Sky Jewels]

55. Last week, before the big news, my Gen Z daughter was talking about Charli XCX's album and the whole Brat thing.

Apparently it is THE album of the summer amongst the young folk, and, more than that, it's a cultural phenomenon. The album's simple lime-green cover and slightly blurry letters are instantly iconic.

9. Magats are terrified because Democrats now own the narrative,

we need to keep it. Keep pushing for Kamala and our Congressional candidates. I plan to ignore all of the Magat lies. do not give a shit what TSF or Vance has to say, I want to talk about Kamala.

I want to talk about Dems putting money into Texas, overturning Roe is a disaster in Texas and Kamala gives a fiery women's rights speech. I can envision Kamala bringing Colin Alred with her to the finish line, getting rid of Cruz is possible, it is the stuff we should be talking about.

Keep control of the narrative, don't give it back.

[Irish_Dem]

13. The Dem plan has been brilliant.

The more it unfolds, the more brilliant it appears.

[Irish_Dem]

10. "Did you fall out of a coconut tree?"

The kids love this quote from Kamala.

[Canoe52]

39. Hey does this count as a coconut tree?

[orange jar]

15. good try

you aren't very good at this, though

[niyad]

18. Darn. I missed another troll???

[Dem2theMax]

25. I always miss them too!

And I'm always willing to deliver a pizza.

[niyad]

49. Always ready here as well.

[Polly Hennessey]

31. That's ok, nyiad, I miss them all. Not even sure I

would recognize one if it slapped me in the face. I would make a terrible jury member.

[niyad]

50. Oh, some of them are so darned obvious it is hilarious. Especially the repeat

offenders.

[ms liberty]

16. Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay. Do you like pizza?

[Goodheart]

19. After that debate I never got a good night's sleep

until my hero Joe stepped aside and named Kamala as his choice. Right then and there I knew WE GOT THIS! The past couple of nights have been dreamy, no lie.

[NoMoreRepugs]

22. JoeB's accomplishments will be LEGEND, his selfless act to put Country first

make him the FATHER of modern day America IMO.

[dlk]

23. Massive voter education and registration drives are needed

By far, the largest group, more than Democrats or Republicans, is non-voters. Going viral on Tik Tok is cute. Actually voting is what matters.

[Beachnutt]

24. As a Dad of 4 daughters

I can guarantee you that this viral meme stuff will translate to voters.
And if Taylor endorses Kamala it is OVER for rethugs.
There will be friendship bracelets everywhere with coconut trees on em.

[edisdead]

43. yes but with 105 days left to register

there is no time to waste. They need ti register NOW especially in some states where they fuck around with voters registering

[SomedayKindaLove]

33. Tik Tok

Is how a generation gets its news.

[BComplex]

36. We definitely need these new voters and independents and swing voters to vote Democrats all the way down the ticket

THEN we will have no trouble doing what needs to be done to the supreme court.

[mopinko]

28. i saw a tweet about the 'divine 9'

black sororities and fraternities, including kamala’s aka, pledging to work for harris.
she’s been all over college campuses since roe fell.
also saw that google has been pounded by ppl asking- how to register to vote.

[GumboYaYa]

29. My kids, 24 and 28, are ecstatic with Kamala being nominee.

They say all their friends are too.

[calguy]

42. I haven't talked with my 40yo son and his wife yet

but they are both ultra liberals and hated Joe even though they voted for him. I know they're jacked up over this in the best possible way.
I've been telling them for years that young people hold the power if they'll only show up at the polls and use it like my generation did in the 60's, and now I think we're on the verge of that becoming reality.
I couldn't be happier about it.

[AkFemDem]

56. Mine are 23 and 26, both girls, and they are so excited!!!!

[kentuck]

32. My dream is that Kamala brings out enough votes to swamp the Republicans in House and Senate.

And they lose the White House.

It would be poetic justice to a Party that deserves to have the crap beaten out of them.

The gall and criminality of Republicans should turn the stomach of every American. They have shown their true colors and it isn't pretty.

Hopefully Kamala will bring a huge turnout in November and my dream will become reality.

[llmart]

38. Let's not forget...

that when she wins (and she will win), she will then have the massive powers granted to her by the SCOTUS! Thanks to Slappy and his gang.

Go get 'em, Kamala.

[IronLionZion]

37. The GOP hate against her will strengthen resolve on our side to support her

Van Jones made some important points about how Trump's inroads with black and brown men might shift back towards us as they don't like racist attacks on a black/brown woman. And many woman are disappointed at what happened with Hillary Clinton.

So we can win with an Obama-style coalition of broad support and excited voters. Kamala is already breaking fundraising records and dominating news headlines.

We can win if we work for it. This is a great time to register new voters and encourage turnout.

[Sympthsical]

41. Was watching SNL from the 2020 primaries last night

Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris trying to get viral moments during the debate. "Mama needs a gif!"

Given what we're seeing on social media, it made me laugh.

She's gettin them.

[Politicub]

44. Every attack on her has been transformed into a positive meme

It’s great to see positivity and expressions of joy take hold so quickly.

[Wounded Bear]

45. Of course the kids love her. She's Momala...

[yardwork]

46. Not just young people.

All my old lady friends lit up their social media with images of Kamala two days ago. I've never seen anything like it.

[Beachnutt]

47. The magaloons are going to be

left standing by themselves scratching their heads thinking " did I miss something" while America moves forward with Great leadership.

Fox propaganda has them so brainwashed and blinded they've gone completely stupid.

[yardwork]

48. I think so. And this tidal wave will sweep a lot of moderates along, too.

The moderate white voters we need to win are going to be impressed by this enthusiasm and vibrancy. Or they can stick with a gross crazy old man and his gross mean sidekick.

[3catwoman3]

51. Let's hope the young folks love her enough to get their young toned butts...

...to the polls and VOTE for her. Being thrilled that she is the candidate is not enough.

[JuJuChen]

53. my excitement level for this campaign is through the roof!

[Demsrule86]

57. Very good news this morning. I was thrilled to hear Kamala was aleady the with bound delegates nominee

in less than 48 hours...excellent.
