Interesting that our self proclaimed “political nerd” has not had a single thing to say about the DNC this week considering all the “research” and “tons of information” she had to share when Joe dropped out. I mean it’s been all over TikTok so she didn’t even have to watch the news to find out anything. And no, I am not buying any excuse that it’s because of the tragedy going on in her community because she doesn’t care enough about other people or decorum to feel that way… surprised she didn’t over share even more during her GRWM today
