True dickheads make fun of how other people laugh. Laughter is a pure form of human expression, a way for people to open up and connect to each other. It is a low-hanging fruit to use when insulting someone.
This is a dog whistle. She laughs like a woman (of color). I don’t think white men laugh in the same way, so every time you point this out, you effectively say that she’s not a white man.
Thank you for the catbox file! Seriously, she sounds fun and perfectly normal. However, to the repressed conservative, I can understand their scorn. If they can't laugh without going to hell then no one can!
Anyone who doesn't find that video endearing has something seriously disturbed going on in their head.
This is the first time I can recall having someone so human and genuine run for the presidency. Obama was close, but he was also so polished and reserved, probably because he felt he needed to be as the first black president. Kamala seems like someone who's really speaking from the heart, and I think that's what America needs most right now.
I feel like they're desperately trying to replicate the Dean Scream to invalidate her.
Problem is, I feel like condensing a quirk into a memeable video nowadays would only accelerate a campaign. Memes are so good at marketing that brands have been trying to harness them for a while.
...while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
-Nate White, on why British people don't like Donald Trump
To be honest, as a brit, when he first started running the first time I thought he was a ( literal) joke candidate. Like a US comedian that did absurd characters along the lines of Sacha Baron Cohen.
As did many of us. It’s still hard to believe those four years were real, but it seems like we’re still recovering from some unfortunate overdose of some drug we still don’t understand
A couple days ago I posted in response to this silly attack on Harris that I cared less about how a person laughs, and more about what a person laughs at. I suggested that Trump would never laugh at anything that didn't involve his own good fortune or someone else's bad luck. That he never laughs is actually worse than that.
What kind of hell-scape-reality-tv-show-fuckfest dimension have I entered, when a candidate for the Presidential election is being judged, by a fucking laugh?
A laugh?
This is really bottom of the barrel, petty, childhood shit.
The sad thing is, I know there will be people that don’t vote for Harris her because of her laugh.
And for every person that doesn’t turn up to the voting stations and vote because of whatever reason they have… remember that there are people that WILL turn up to the polls and believe your country should be run by a misogynistic, racist, uneducated convicted felon…
Her laugh is so endearing! Attacking her on this is so stupid and will backfire spectacularly. I really didn’t know a lot about her before she was picked for VP but I honestly haven’t seen many politicians able to speak and come across as genuine as she does.
