Get out and vote in November!

I'm quite confident* that Kamala Harris will win the elections this year. Why? Because I've been correctly predicting elections for many many years now, using a highly subjective indicator, which I call "entertainment value." That is, fun candidates always win presidential elections in the US. Obviously, Kamala Harris is more fun than Trump** and she's going to be our #47.

* it no longer makes sense for me to monitor election polls, etc., b/c the game is over.
** back in 2016, I thought Trump had more entertainment value for the public, but I decided that Americans would not vote for an obvious clown with sketchy business experience. Boy, was I wrong!

Participants compared the chief executive to a ''movie character''; they said he could ''make people see things.'' From this, Rapaille was able to identify the core emotional nubbin. Fatherhood? Celebration? Nationalism? No, no. The presidency is: ''cheap entertainment.''
