Was speaking to a lady in a swing state with a huge social circle [View all]

Asked if she's voting for Kamala and she said... "Well, you know, I want to know her beyond the fluff interviews they have given with her. The media treats her like a woman. I want to see what she is really made of."

My response was "Well, we have a convicted rapist and 34-count convicted felon on one side and a very highly respected prosecutor, AG, VP, and a woman who wants to protect women's reproductive freedom. What more do you need to know?"

Her answer was that she hates rump, but she wants to know more about Kamala on a personal level.

I then asked her if she has heard of Project 2025. She has. I offered to send her a link so that she can read the whole thing (she looked like she was going to throw up - lol), but she declined, repeating again that she wants to know what Kamala is like as a person, rather than a politician.

I suggested she watch her rallies, but the response was the same. Not sure what this woman is looking for, but she might well be able to sway a LOT of votes our way if I can find the right type of interview or information.

I sent her the link to Kamala's policy website and I trust she is reading it.

I hav no idea what type of information / interview this woman is looking for but if anyone knows, it would be our beloved community here. (It's very easy for me to discern the type of person someone is just by looking at them, so I don't know what she is after. My instant revulsion when first viewing weirdo, then beardo are perfect examples. They're creepy.)

Any ideas of interviews she has given or information about Kamala that is more "personal" than political?

TYIA!
