UNKNOWN: “When I was there, I didn’t feel any connection to real America or the place that I come from, which is the Midwest, Kansas, city, Kansas and Missouri. I didn’t feel any connection to the people that I know right now, who are struggling to buy their groceries or to pay their rent, the people who want to know what both candidates are going to do to materially affect change in their lives. And when I was there listening to the speeches, I felt myself feeling mad because I didn’t hear anything about the economy, definitely not in Kamala's speech and not very much in the others as well. Instead, I heard generic platitudes, things like joy and respect and integrity. And what does that even mean? Let’s make the military the most lethal in the world? I thought I was part of the anti-war party. I thought I was part of the party that thought for the underdog, that championed working people. When and how did we just become the party of academia and affluence? That’s what we are right now.”
