So here's Tropical Soulvangical's general take on the election thus far. He thinks it's a good thing for Kamala to have done that interview with 6abc taking place in Jonestown PA within -trump- country, because that goes along the lines of doing more interviews so as to introduce yourself to people. He thinks it's kind of peculiar that criticisms of her not doing more interviews come from the -trump- campaign itself, because to him it sounds like a -constructive- criticism. He's more used to a criticism to the effect of Kamala somehow being a 'Marxist,' which burned down at the gate at the debate. He doesn't get another criticism from an immigrant journalist that she should have done more, preferably in the debate, about going after that whole dogs-n-cats thing, because he's not sure Kamala was any more aware than TSV itself of what dogs-n-cats-gate would turn into just in -trump's- first five or so words of, they're eating the dogs and cats, because just on the face of it, it made sense to TSV that Kamala would properly exercise the oh-come-on eyeroll choreography at just those five words. He did see her criticize the effects that that conspiracy theory had on Springfield, Ohio, with respect to all the lockdowns at schools and town halls when she did that journalist group interview. He did see mention on Morning Whoa on Insurgent about there being a prominent Creole restaurant in that town that apparently gets a lot of patronage, and not just from the Haitian immigrant community. He's also wondering whether in or near the town there's a Haitian community radio station, possibly on AM, and which also exemplifies the importance of AM, because he's not sure if such a station would necessarily work on FM. For one thing, FM has -way- too many stations on the dial, and they're all format-changing/singles-oriented/top-40/really cutthroat. Perhaps there are high school and college stations for Springfield on FM, but a Haitian community station TSV thinks would go far deeper than the superficiality of the FM sound would allow for. You really don't need crystal clear sound on discussions on that station, TSV doesn't think, nor crystal clear on the culturally enriching music that gets played on that station, namely from artists that are big in Haiti but maybe not as well known in the US. You're not going to get that from your smartphone. There's a lot about our Caribbean neighbors TSV doesn't think we know a whole lot about, because we tend to only see them from a tourist destination point of view. TSV hopes that prominent presenters from said station would do an interview on Insurgent to talk about both how dogs-n-cats-gate is making them worried, and a little bit more on the history of Haitian immigrants in the town, to turn otherwise negative press into a positive in a sense. TSV's further suggestions would be for Kamala to find other 6abc type local stations both in Michigan and Wisconsin to do interviews on, and he wants to contact 6abc to thank them for the interview and to do a followup with undecideds with whatever more -specific- questions they may have. He doesn't think it does much good for undecideds to say, well I don't know anything about Kamala, when they also don't want to specify what else they want to know, particularly when this is supposed to be a doomsday election, and you shouldn't be fidgeting over the question of sausage or pepperoni when your plane's going down.
