One example I’ve seen is someone talking about being coconut-pilled.

    Oh I’m aware. It’s a dumb thing to be critical of for sure. And my bet would be that originates from her attempt to be more politically amicable while her inner personality is probably a bit more “aggressive” or blunt. And of course she’s navigating the misogynistic politics that force women to find some nearly impossible balance between “being nice” and “appearing competent and strong” at the same time.

    All that being said, that laugh was odd and I couldn’t help wonder what it was about … as you imply, it may have just been a gesture of some kind in this political persona she’s deploying.

      She said on Drew Barrymore’s show that its her Mom’s laugh.

      It is a bit of a tic though. Who cares. She’s 1k better than Biden would have ever been in terms of beating Trump, so its fine.

      The most important thing is that she needs to court some demographics. She needs muslim voters in the upper mid-west and she needs black women in GA and NC. If she picks Shapiro, and he can deliver PA, thats the ball game.
