Safe to say at this point that team Trump overplayed their hand post convention. Several unforced errors, the Vance problem, Trump fatigue. Meanwhile untapped Kamala memetic power has been discovered. Walz is a good, safe pick. How much will people care that Kamala wasn’t voted on? It bothers me plenty. If I were a rep. operative I’d push this point. Odds are 50/50 at this point. I don’t play roulette but if I did I’d bet on Trump winning.

Facebook and Threads are going wild with the Walz memes. What little bit I've checked TikTok, it's starting there, too. Democrats are unusually good at marketing the campaign this year.

Pretty sure they are paying influencers, too early to tell if it translates to voter turnout from the youth and tik tok set. I think the economy will ultimately push the fate of the election.

Oh, I'm sure there's some paid influencers. But paying influencers isn't enough to actually go viral the way that they are. What they're paying the influencers to put out there still has to be good. And the meme creators aren't influencers. They're just chronically online political junkies who've been starved for hope for too long.

Yeah you’re probably right, although I think there is at least some organic groundswell of memetic fervor. As always, ‘it’s the economy stupid’
