Is that like the motto or tagline for the campaign or something? Or did she tell her speechwriter(s) to stick that phrase into every speech and interview possible?
Didn't listen to this but the whole "unburdened from your past" line is straight out of the Marxist and similar playbooks. Mao's great leap forward type shit.
Short-term memory is a huge threat to their platform. How can they stay convinced that Trump is going to round them all up for death camps when someone can say, "you lived through a full term of Trump just a couple years ago and he didn't do a single thing to you, you retard."
There's at least a few delusional nutjobs with TDS who only have short term memories filled with terror, based almost entirely on propaganda and their own warped paranoia.
I think its the latter, the way she smugly nods as though she's said something profound, she thinks it is great.
It's something a specific subset of below-average and midwitt minds will do. Come out with fluffy 'profound' sounding nonsense and act all smug like they just dropped something immensely intelligent.
Just to be clear, I'm not a professional "quote maker". I'm just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. That being said, I am open to any and all criticism.
"In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence." - Aalewis
The kind of person who worships science and philosophy but who doesn't understand a lick of it. The kind of person who believes themselves to be far more intelligent than they actually are, and doesn't have the insight to know just how foolish they sound. I've got a family member like that, and it's draining trying to speak to them. They would absolutely come up with catch phrases like that, think they are amazingly profound, and insist it is inserted into everything.
And that is also what we know about kamala, a nightmare to work with, micromanaging, insisting it is all done exactly her way.
This quote though, it does reflect a lot about who Kamala is, and what she believes. It is rank progressivism. A rejection of tradition. A desire to be unburdened by your heritage.
"Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That’s the only way to become what you were meant to be”
Modern pop culture expresses many of the same themes and ideas, kamala's version of it just has that pseudo-profound flair to it.

I think the big push behind this is rap music, and especially the "mic drop" moment in it.
If you listen to enough rap, you'll notice there is a huge overrepresentation of the "music cuts out" moment to emphasize a punchline that is supposed to be the epic culmination. In songs its usually built up to, and in the rap battles it was meant to be the power move that just ended the show because no one else could follow that.
Its not something entirely unique to that genre, but its one that has it as a common element instead of a rarity. And the massive popularity of rap in the 90s/00s lines up perfectly with the growing up of the pseudo-intellectuals who love moments like that and imagine themselves as the one to drop such a bomb on people.
Not sure what kind of idiot has been trying to call the shots with her campaign phrases.
The brat thing for example was the most random and pathetic attempt to seem relevant to... I assume zoomer-social media voters? Even though I doubt they were remotely receptive to that nonsense any more than older generations.
Oh "brat" is lonely millennial woman shit, not zoomers. They're hitting middle age with nothing to show for it and a middle aged pop star gave them an excuse to think about being gaudy children again, and they latched into it with a deathgrip.
So they did target one of Kamala's key demos there, easily influenced overgrown female children.
Ah yeah, you're probably right. I mean I've heard the word popularized in positive way in a fairly specific and very niche context, but I'd never heard it used like this before.
It's the latest Charli XCX (shallow feminist musician with such lyrical gems as "I crash my car into the bridge, I don't care, I love it") album name. Has all the aging cat ladies in denial reliving their lost youth and calling it "brat summer"

Welcome to the Eternal Now. There's a 4chan pasta about how low iq individuals see no connection between their present and future selves.
I've never heard that, was it from mao's china? sounds like something out of the 4 old's campaign or something similar.

So we can all just forget about slavery and the Holocaust right?
...Right?
It's her own little mantra for "I'm going to be president, forget all the horrible things I've done"
Our boy u/BandageBandolier nails it.

The way she says it makes me think that she thought of it herself and thinks it's super clever.
If so, I don't think she's a very competent person.
