Campaign Dynamics and Personal Reflections

The discussion revolves around the emotional pull and dynamics of the current election cycle, with participants sharing their feelings about being involved in the political process. One participant expresses a sense of longing to be engaged in the creativity and energy of the campaign, particularly after attending a recent convention, describing it as a moment filled with 'major FOMO.' Another speaker likens their past experience in political campaigning to that of a recovering addict, admitting daily struggles with the urge to return to the campaign trail while also acknowledging a general disillusionment with the current state of the election. The sameness of tactics and lack of innovative strategies from both parties contribute to an overall sense of disappointment in the current political landscape, contrasting sharply with the excitement of past campaigns like those of Obama or Sanders.
