I feel like the negative vibes stem from the double-standard Harris is getting in the media now that messaging isn’t as clear-cut due to no debates and the varied cross-platform right-wing propaganda filling the airwaves, and dancing around actual issues.

The real question is do negative vibes hit the lean-Harris voter in a way that makes them question voting for her? I think when it gets to the booth, if they are someone who believes in showing up day-of and is engaged but not motivated by political narratives (aka the weird ignorance of undecided voters) I think they will still lean Harris or at worst 3rd party because they are motivated by the concept of having a vote even if somewhat uninformed.

I think Pro-Harris, or anti-Trump votes is a question of suppressing turnout based on vibes. I think Enthusiasm is a bit harder to negate, but there is a fear of a statistical dropoff where the feeling of the election being irrelevant, lets say on Harris not being strong enough on X-issue could cause turnout problems. The thing is I don’t think losing the Biden name has as much of effect on older informed folks because they understand party dynamics better, and I think the danger of Trump is good enough for those in the know.

We also know we are at the point where media is not only trying to justify a close race, and I think this is directly from a Trump-era media manipulation tactic. Because the feeling of Trump being unstable drives the vibe, so rather then judging Harris on her positives, the news uses the vibe of mistakes, instabilities in the race, to create the same sense of danger with Harris to fill the 24/7 cycle because the lack of audience reaction to stability lends to the feeling of no content on the Harris side. The news treats in to a race to the bottom for anxieties, and unless calling Trump a fascist makes news for Harris, Trumps hit his floor for how much news can be about him being an asshole. It’s not about change, but what feelings of change can be bottled in the smallest unit that can still be considered “news”

So I think aiming for Anti-Trump for enthusiasm has very little negative effect on Harris. However I think the positive messages on the Harris side do cut through the noise getting into the final week if done right. I think to do that is to outrun the Trump campaign with spending and messaging, and tie enthusiasm not to vibes of instability, but flip it to enthusiasm on the economy, women’s rights, voting, in a way that addresses Trumps negatives but makes it clear the vote matters.

And as close as this election is, we need to remember Harris is a stronger candidate in many ways then Biden was in 2020, so being the anti-Trump vote is already oversimplifying the logic of this closer race, when we already have an advantage on the “generic democrat” front, maybe even to compensate for some of the negative feelings with the last 4 years. I honestly think Harris or the campaign saying ‘voting 4 years ago got us out of Covid, and stopped the Jan 6 insurrection and that’s why I’m running for President, because it’s the change we need to improve our lives for the next 4 years.’ Really make it about tying the enthusiasm with why voting is important, and why it will be an improvement
