On Sunday Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race. That evening over 44,000 Black women gathered on Zoom to galvanize support and money for Kamala Harris. The next night Black men did the same. Then came Latinas and South Asian women.
Yesterday a Zoom for white women set the record as the largest Zoom meeting ever, and crashed the platform. I chose to attend the "Out for Kamala Harris" Zoom rally instead, and somehow lasted all two-and-a-half hours, listening to LGBTQ celebrities and politicians extol the candidate.
How 2024 is this, using technology to bring together an assortment of demographic groups to raise enthusiasm and funds lickety-split?
It's been great, but the American people can subdivide only so far. The Harris campaign will need a new strategy by the time Zoom hosts a gathering of left-handed non-binary Laotian vegans.
