So people started captioning them as hilarious texts. Except as much as you think about Hillary texting.ĮLM: What happened to Texts from Hillary? I remember Hillary was kind of a cool icon for a little while while she was doing her texts from Hillary.ĮLM: If anyone doesn’t remember this, it was because the press kept photographing her looking at her phone-ĮLM: Texting. I think the simple answer might be that there’s a female candidate, honestly, and not a wacky one like Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann or something, but a deeply competent, not very funny.įK: Yeah.

There was a lot about John Edwards, weirdly, I feel like.ĮLM: Well, he’s a philanderer with nice hair.įK: I don’t think they knew he was a philanderer at the time.įK: Elizabeth knows how to spot ’em.ĮLM: Mm-hmm. It's funny actually, I was just thinking about how-I think we’ve talked about it before-there’s unusually little fanfic about this election? That may sound weird, but I feel like I haven’t seen almost any whereas for previous elections it felt like there were all sorts of sometimes satirical, sometimes serious, but there was all sorts of fanfic. This is something that I’ve written about, I’m sure you have feelings about it, and I think that kind of, the kind of meh, or the vote against Donald Trump, kind of underlies some of the gaps I’m seeing in this campaign compared to other candidates and other elections that I've looked at from a fannish lens.įK: Yeah completely. I was with her all the way.ĮLM: Yeah that’s fine and that’s fine and that’s great, you’re on the side, cool, but we’re actually unironically like “Yes.”ĮLM: So before we talk to Paul, I think we should talk a little bit about politics and fandom. And I think we both actually…because of our age perhaps, fall more towards the pro-Hillary rather than the, like, there was a hashtag that came out right after she clinched the nomination that was like #IGuessImWithHer.įK: Yeah that’s not us. Sometimes when I think about it I am like, these are like two equal candidates! So maybe I should just weigh them equally you know, like…no. FK: And welcome to Fansplaining, the podcast by, for and about fandom!ĮLM: Oh, that's the enthusiasm I was looking for!įK: I’m enthusiastic about this! I’m feeling down about the American election right now and I’m ready for some enthusiasm.ĮLM: So we are going to be talking to Paul DeGeorge who you may know as one of the Harry Potters in Harry and the Potters, seminal-is that the right word?ĮLM: Wrock, W, R, O, C, K, wizard rock band that he has done with his younger brother Joe for more than a decade.ĮLM: And he has worked on political campaigns but he is doing this one right now called “Nerds For Her” which is, he’ll tell you all about it but it's about boosting the enthusiasm and the fannish enthusiasm for Hillary.įK: Which I think this can serve as our official endorsement, I guess, by having him on, that Fansplaining as a podcast, do we endorse Hillary Clinton?ĮLM: I don’t know, it’s a toss-up.
