Is KamalaHQ officially associated with her and is this an official statement? I see their TikTok page a lot and its very memey/jokey. It feel an like it's adjacent (run by an intern or campaign staffer or something), but I'm not sure if this is really "Kamala Harris's Statement".

I opened the threads profile, it says it's official

[-] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago

Thanks! I still think it's a statement by her campaign and not her, but I guess that's splitting hairs.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Technically it's signed Harris Walz.

[-] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Technically it has their campaign logo on it. ;) Yeah I know I'm being annoying. Obviously this statement is associated with her and the campaign in an official manner. It just doesn't have the polish I would expect from a politician's official statement. That's all. I'm probably reading too much into it.

I think it's a huge part of the Democrats' collective messaging, which they really sucked at previously. They're very purposely ratcheting up from their Ben Stein levels of excitement, and I think it's resonating with people.

There’s a comment in this thread commending the casual, non-robotic tone of the messaging.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Such a low bar, right?

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I think that's an intentional choice by her campaign. I've seen other stuff by KamalaHQ that has the same tone. It's smart. More relatable is better.

[-] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That's not fully correct. @VP seems to be her official threads, while the OP says

official rapid response page of Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign

whatever that means. So I'm still not fully convinced this is an officially statement from Harris herself.

Not sure. I think Kamala would be smart enough to call the site Twitter.
