Carole King on the 2024 Election: ‘Kamala Has Brought Joy Back into Politics’

1. I don’t know if it’s “joy” but Kamala definitely has brought back some sense of sanity

2. sent to my mom, hopefully brings her some clarity

3. Meh, I wouldn’t call it joy. I’m definitely relieved she jumped in for Biden. That needed to be done. The effects of age are real. I went from, “Oh shit, Trump’s gonna win” after the Biden debate to, “Thank God, she’s an articulate attorney who is completely owning this moron!” Then my thoughts went to hoping the sexists and racists (probably 1/2 the GOP) decide to stay home on Election Day.

   I’m cautiously optimistic which is an improvement. I think she’ll do a fair job if elected. I just hope her heart is in the right place for the job. We already know Trump’s isn’t, but they’re all politicians.

4. The joy is manufactured and this is still the same lesser of two evils campaign it’s been since the start. She’s not a hero, she’s just better than the worst candidate we’ve ever had. It’s a very low bar

5. Fuck you mean joy.

6. Supporting genocide doesn’t bring me joy, but maybe I’m weird.

7. The joy of continuing to bomb kids

8. No, she hasn’t. She’s fine, and I’ll vote for her, but come on…it’s still politics. Has it ever had joy? It’s about providing genuine help to the American people. Who cares about vibes? I just want health care.
