So amidst our announcement of having reached the spiritually righteous state of Tropical Soul, Tropical Soulvangelical also felt like he needed to follow up on our base share regarding The Go Of Joe and The Coming Of Kamala, though he doesn't really have any one central point to make. So thankfully, TSV's listening of newsradio thus far hasn't indicated the same trope against Kamala, and instead for the Donkeys and progressive activists it's been the opposite. Looks as though those groups have turned over a new leaf, what with recommitted delegates and endorsements and fundraising dollars coming out of their ears. 100 million in 24 hours was something that -really- got TSV doing double takes. He remembers LOD's concern a month ago that a replacement for Joe Go would have serious trouble raising money, having looked at the situation regarding Hubert Humphreys in light of both Lyndon Johnson declining another run and the tragic shooting of RFK. Two importance differences between then and now, though. Firstly, you didn't have the Internet in 1968 to raise money on. Secondly, there's a clearly decisive unity around Kamala that Humphreys did -not- enjoy. TSV's seeing -absolutely no-one- pulling a Dump The Hump on Kamala, not even the Israel haters thus far, and that reminds him of a point regarding the squad. When he saw all those of what he -still- considers DINOs caving in on Joe left and right, his congresswoman -never- did so, and he didn't hear that the squad ever did so either. He came across a video on Insurgent, and he's seen many more since the changing of the guard, in which a progressive caucus co-chair and apparent squad person Pramila Jayapal confirmed that the progressive caucus -also- never gave up on Joe, even though his strong stance on Israel was every reason many caucus members had to do so. So it isn't just TSV and LOD. They had something in common with the squad after all and not just everybody liking jelly donuts, but something that really did count for something and that's the value of loyalty, but also managing it not being -blind- loyalty. Everybody knew Biden's problems well, so there was never going to be -blind- loyalty except among the foolish. But there's still one problem. While TSV will give Kamala the support she needs and so deserves and he likes her a lot better than he ever liked Hillary, and frankly that bit about at least a -legal- difference between her and -trump- really helped get TSVs attention, it still wasn't enough for TSV to feel like he can 'bro' with Kamala like he did with Joe, a Joe Bro, with Bro Joe. He doesn't -need- to 'bro' with a candidate in order to help them out, but he -does- need to bro in order for him to feel loyalty and dedication, so he feels like whatever he does for Kamala will always, to him, feel and look like going through the motions, and the -trumpists- he thinks will see that. TSV wants to see that video about how Kamala's having Obama type appeal, and even though he had the same liking for Obama as he does for Kamala, he finds that the kind of lets-have-a-party type charisma he's seeing is a poor substitute for broworthiness. He's hoping that's not going to matter, and another point before he gets me the Happy Bachelor to close on this one. And that's he's thinking that the DINOs had successfully dusted their shortcomings under the rug with respect to their failing Biden, and using the Kamala candidacy to hide behind. But TSV's not fooled. He wants to go after the worst of the worst on this one, like Schumer and Schiff at least, but there's a bit of a guilt trip at this time about having to "show unity" which is another thing he really dislikes. Unity is just conformity with icing on top. But he's hoping the Blow On Joe types do individually have problems after the election so he'll be there to remind people of their disloyalty to Biden, and hence, their disloyalty to the value of principle. Schiff after having been the one to really take it to -trump- in 2016 after the election when the rest were crawling back in their shells feeling sorry for themselves should really know better. In 2024 TSV's seeing an elite in the younger Schiff's place as he vies for a Senate seat, and TSV will not be denied justice. It took us nine years to get to Tropical Soul, and we never forgot Nadir Day or any other important day in our great recovery since then, and TSV's not going to forget this one either. He's okay to close with an embitteredness amidst the great celebrations going on. That's what he did after Obama won. Typical of him, really.
