I Don't Feel Hopeless Yet

The election was 6 days ago if you can believe it. 70 million votes for Kamala weren't enough to bring home the hardware, but were still impressive considering the Biden-sized hole she needed to dig the campaign out of. 

Tune in for lessons learned and the mindset I'm depending on to cope. 

This will be the last I Don't Feel Hopeless Yet episode for a while. Time to process, rest, and come back with something useful for the times we live in now.

If you have a TV or an addiction to podcasts, you were most likely inundated with interviews with Kamala, Tim, and JD in the last week. On today's episode, we cover takeaways from those appearances on All The Smoke, Call Her Daddy, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and The Interview-- from moments of levity and earnestness to direct quotes I wish I could unhear!

Sometimes, we need to succumb to the robots for the sake of time. Please understand that is why I asked my recording software's AI to write this description 

"Host Bridget Sicard reviews the latest updates in the 2024 presidential election, noting Kamala Harris's improved poll standings against Trump. She also shares thoughts on the 50th season premiere of SNL, highlighting standout performances and impressions. Bridget touches on the indictment of NYC Mayor Eric Adams for wire fraud tied to the Turkish government, emphasizing the need to question the integrity of political figures. Stay registered, stay informed, and keep the momentum going as election day approaches."

Host Bridget Sicard breaks down Prime Minister Oprah Winfrey's town hall in support of VP Kamala Harris, even though all she can think about is this play she saw over the weekend called Stereophonic.

But like Kamala tells Oprah, "We all have moments in life where we need to step up." Even after we see a play and that's all we want to talk about.

From abortion to gun control to immigration to the economy, to Bryan Cranston to Ben Stiller to Meryl Streep, to jokes at inappropriate times and more tears than Bridget bargained for on a Sunday afternoon, to Oprah in a burnt orange suit, this town hall has everything.

All the above and more on today's IDFHY.

After the debate, Taylor said, "Only the young . . . only the young . . . only the young . . . can run ✨"

Somehow the year's biggest political event became about Taylor Swift, and you have to respect the sheer PR wizardry. 

In this IDFHY / IDFFY Crossover Episode™️, we roast and recap last Tuesday's debate + dissect the significance of Taylor's endorsement for the Harris/Walz campaign. I swear to god if the clip of her begging her dad to let her post that on ig isn't in her next doc, I'll freak out.

Sincerely, 

Childless Catless Lady
