"coronation" is USA a monarchy now?
They're trying out new talking points, unrelated to "Is this lady gonna try to end democracy or not," for reasons for people not to support Harris
She was a prosecutor being another. Of course, that's only when talking to the left; when targeting semi-conservatives who are just too sensible to want to support Trump (which is a sizable fraction of the Democrats' base), I suspect they may soon start trying crypto-bigoted arguments like about her laugh or that she's unstable and crazy. You know... you know what I'm saying.
"Laughing Kamala"
I still remember when the GOP tried to make a scandal about a video of AOC dancing
Like what in the fuck kind of Nathaniel Hawthorne bullshit is this... WOMEN DANCING WHAT THE FUCK WE MUST PUT A STOP TO IT
You've never heard that term in American politics before?
It's not uncommon
Just because a bunch of worthless chud journalists write blog posts using the word doesn't magically change the definition.

Coronation is a word that's been commonly used in US politics - this isn't unique to this election.
prove it.
