A podcaster who said she volunteered at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago left the event knowing she would not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Harris accepted the Democratic nomination to replace President Joe Biden Thursday, a little more than a month after Biden announced he was ending his reelection bid. The co-host of the podcast “Rolling In The Deep State,” who introduced herself as Evan on another video on TikTok, said on a viral TikTok video that attendees at the convention were “the most elite and out-of-touch people in the entire world.” 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,” the volunteer said. “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?”“You know, I went to the DNC this year hoping that I would feel reconnected to the Democratic Party, that I would have more of a sense of understanding of Kamala and her candidacy and what she stood for, but instead I ended up leaving and feeling the opposite, more disconnected and alone than ever,” the podcast host said. “And I don’t think I can support Kamala Harris for president. I don’t even know if I can call myself a Democrat anymore. I don’t know who I’m gonna be supporting, but I know it’s not her. And for once, I’m not afraid to say it.”
