Honestly... I think this is silliness of the highest order.

And Republicans deserve to lose if this is the level of the discussion being had.

These are common phrases.

At least 2 of them are cribbed directly from Ronald Reagan, and the 'American ideals' one was Woodrow Wilson, but vast numbers of politicians have said some version of all of these.

TikTok supercuts of recycled classic rhetoric... is not it.

I only care about the substance, this is fluff. I'm interested in the meat of the policy proposals, the track record of the candidate, and whether I can understand the funding and backing. In all 3 of these areas, Vivek and Obama have literally nothing in common.

The *only* thing they have in common is that they are talented orators (as more candidates should be). I take this TikTok stuff as a sign of appallingly low standards, and of China's depthless efforts to encourage us to tear ourselves apart from the inside over utter nonsense, while the west burns.
