fightoffyour Posted July 26 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26 (edited) 43 minutes ago, Nor-Cal Villan said: Most would say, “who?” She lives in LA, British popstar. What is Kamala Harris's 'brat' rebrand all about? Quote Kamala Harris has overhauled her campaign's online presence by embracing a social media trend inspired by pop star Charli XCX's Brat album cover. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has scattered references to the album across her campaign's account, renaming her profile Kamala HQ. Her rebrand comes as Charli showed her support by tweeting "kamala IS brat" shortly after President Joe Biden announced he was stepping out of the race for the White House and endorsed his vice-president. By Monday morning, Ms Harris had seized on Charli's backing - with the account sporting a new lime green photo in the style of the Brat album cover. Brat is the name of Charli's sixth studio album and her tweet about Vice-President Harris received almost nine million views in just four hours. The album's artwork is a lime green square with the word brat written in the middle in a low resolution Arial font. So her branding has been directly influenced by Charli XCX, and thus influenced the election, even if most Americans haven't heard of her.

A little off topic, but I always feel like this quote gets more mockery than it should. It was making a worthwhile point, and one that’s not actually particularly easy to make without saying the word “known” about 700 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix in “variable” and/or “factor” a couple of times and it sounds far better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) So... much.... ammunition.... How JD Vance went from thinking he was gay and changing his name twice to being an anti-LGBTQ+ extremist Quote Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, contains a revealing anecdote about his childhood belief that he was gay. Influenced by a preacher’s condemnation of homosexuality, young Vance feared he was destined for hell simply because he disliked girls and cherished his friendship with another boy. Best bit: he changed his middle name from Donald to David, because he didn't like the name Donald. You couldn't make it up if you tried.
