‘Gen Z feels the Kamalove': Youth-led progressive groups hope Harris will energize young voters
The Associated Press ^ | July 27, 2024 | BY CHRISTINE FERNANDO (D-AP)

CHICAGO (AP) — “ Brats for Harris.” “ We need a Kamalanomenon. ” “ Gen Z feels the Kamalove.”

In the days since President Joe Biden exited the presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, Gen Z voters jumped to social media to share coconut tree and “brat summer” memes — reflecting a stark shift in tone for a generation that’s voiced feeling left behind by the Democratic party.

Youth-led progressive organizations have warned for months that Biden had a problem with young voters, pleading with the president to work more closely with them to refocus on the issues most important to younger generations or risk losing their votes. With Biden out of the race, many of these young leaders are now hoping Harris can overcome his faltering support among Gen Z and harness a new explosion of energy among young voters.

Since Sunday, statements have poured out from youth-led organizations across the country, including in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, California, Minnesota, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, as leaders thanked Biden for stepping aside and celebrated the opportunity to organize around a new candidate. On Friday, a coalition of 17 youth-led groups endorsed Harris.

“This changes everything,” said Zo Tobi, director of donor organizing for the national youth organizing group Movement Voter Project, when he heard the news that Biden was dropping out of the race and endorsing Harris. “The world as it is suddenly shifted into the world as it could be.”

It’s amazing how many Gen Z’ers are attracted to the political cult that aborted 1/3rd of their generation. It’d be like Jews voting Nazi.

“What else do we know about this population, 18-24? They are stupid. That is why we put them in dormitories and they have a resident assistant. They make really bad decisions!” - Kamala Harris

Despite being told this by MSM sources. I’m still skeptical that the enthusiasm is real. The MSM told everyone that Biden was fine...and it simply wasn’t so.

Kamala is just seven years away from Social Security.

I don’t call that “young”.

They feel nothing.

They didn’t know she was running until a few days ago.

What they feel is the pressure of groupthink to get on board because they are hive minded morons in the stongest terms.

They feed off judging and hating others who disagree with them. They need their unicorn blood.

Beware.

The use of the term Kamalanomenon seems to (if I am correct) be associating the term "noumenon" with Kamala. If I am wrong, the above term, Kamalanomenon, might be merely referring to her as a "phenomenon" instead of a "noumenon."

Either way, this is something that was done with Obama, wherein he was transformed by the media and his followers into a deity..."the One."

The term "noumenon" itself isn't that unrelated to "phenomenon" in its regular usage. Both imply that Kamala is more than she seems (and she seems like an idiot). Obama was also a "nothing" which was turned into an object of adoration by the Left.

As an aside, here is a description of "noumenon" from ChatGPT. If you aren't interested in the subject, ignore it.

The term "noumenon" originates from the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and refers to things as they are in themselves, independent of human perception. In contrast, phenomena are things as they appear to us through our senses and perception.

Kant argues that noumena are fundamentally unknowable to us because our knowledge is limited to the realm of phenomena, shaped by our sensory experiences and cognitive structures. Thus, providing concrete examples of noumena is challenging because, by definition, they are beyond human experience and understanding. [Get that, Kamala isn't an idiot, she is beyond our understanding -- Rooster]

However, for the sake of illustration, here are a few conceptual examples of what noumena might be if we could conceive of them:

The Thing-in-Itself (Ding an sich): According to Kant, any object in the external world has an aspect that is independent of our perception. For instance, a tree as it exists independently of anyone seeing, touching, or otherwise experiencing it is a noumenon.

Moral Values and Duties: Kant believed that moral laws, such as the categorical imperative, have a noumenal existence. These moral laws are not derived from sensory experience but from pure reason.

The Self or Soul: The true nature of the self, beyond the way we perceive and understand ourselves through introspection and psychology, might be considered a noumenon. This would be the self as it exists independently of our perceptions and experiences.

The Divine or God: In many philosophical and theological traditions, God or the divine is often considered a noumenal reality, existing independently of human perception and understanding.

These examples are conceptual and serve to illustrate the idea of noumena as things-in-themselves, which are distinct from how we perceive and experience them. Kant's philosophy emphasizes that while we can think about noumena, we cannot have direct knowledge or experience of them.

There is a term for Gen Z, used by the Authoritarian left. The term is “Useful Idiots.”
