He destiny is her own, and she owns it.

You do realize that people often based on their “feels” right? Not every voter is well informed on the party platforms, key issues, or even who’s running in the riding. Emotions factor into who many people vote for.
Also, it’s funny you’re taking this so far… I’ve never once claimed Kamala’s rise in the polls will play a major factor, but rather that it could have some sort of impact on people’s voting choices. Do you remember how many people felt excited to vote for the first black President in 2008?
Many people may feel a similar urge to make history and vote for Holt and her party to make history here in NB. Just because it’s not a fact doesn’t make it an invalid opinion.
Do you really think if I met Susan Holt I’d say something as ridiculous as “you’re only going to win because of Kamala Harris”. I’d be fine saying something like “how cool will it be to see NB and the US elect their first two female leaders one after another… hope you both win”.
As much as you want me to prove my “thesis” by citing sources, you’ve yet to cite one to disprove it.
I still can’t quite gauge who you prefer Holt or Higgs, but based on this last reply, I feel like you’re leaning toward Holt and the Liberals.
