Her appeal exists in the context which came before her (she's not Biden or trump)

[devinhigoy]

Oh she isn't going to turn 80 in her presidency is a start.

[chazsaw]

To me, I think Kamala's soaring approval is disconnected from her specifically. Gen Z made it incredibly clear that they didn't want a Biden - Trump rematch, and when Biden stood down it felt to them like it was (literally) the first time in their political lives that they had ever been listened to and therefore enfranchised.

[plucas]

A correction: Trump is NOT an incumbent candidate. Incumbent means currenly holding office, and Trump currently hold no office.

[hughjass]

Well, she's not a thousand years old. That helps.

[the_pinkerton]

Probably because she's not Trump or Biden

[alexhutchinson]

a Brat intro and a VEEP reference, TLDR understood the assignment

[stopsign]

I think young people are just happy to pick someone who is not a criminal or downright senile for once

[pnpyvrn]

Because she isn't publicly going through dementia.

[jarjarbinks]

You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?

[mollydaughterofduck]

Why is Harris so popular with the youth? She hasn't had her seventieth birthday yet.

[WhtAbtBob]

It's hilarious calling her speaking style rambling when her opponent makes no sense whatsoever.

[Ace-]

Because they said "anyone but biden or trump" so much

[RipCityBassWorks]

Because she's not Trump or Biden and she isn't senile.

[samcalven]

I work as caregiver and several of my clients were trump fans when I started but under his presidency a lot of budget for older people and people with disabilities was slashed and many people quit and agencies found it hard to hire and take care of older people in need. Now several clients are no longer fans of Trump. Some even have express regret. Just goes to show people only care when they’re personally effected by something or someone 😂

[Blake]

I think it also stems from her not being a Boomer and an older Gen X. Boomers have been in power way too long and that generation needs to step aside already.

[StormGallade]

i appreciate the editing team turning the title card into the brat branding lol

[Gothic_Analogue]

Because she has a much better outlook for not being put in a care home for dementia in the next six months, that’s why.

[DATAN]

She's popular amongs gen z because social media influencers told us to vote for her.

[kuzmanki]

this may be the most significant gaslighting campaign in political history
