Kamela Harris’ DNC speech

 By Mathew Goldstein

Kamela Harris’s DNC speech is worth spending the time  required to listen to (try 1.25x), IMO. One word in one short sentence in her approximately fifty minute speech was noteworthy for being odd, although we can anticipate it will generally be considered normal. She reassuringly said, while momentarily looking down, that she “knows” that her dead mother (who died in 2009) is watching her. Wishful magical thinking misrepresented as knowledge is not good. Her speech would have been somewhat saner if she had instead acknowledged that she imagines her mother is still watching her. We would all benefit from more sanity.
