Kamala Harris as vice-presidential nominee, and as we are about to head into the party conventions with the Democrats going first in this tragic time of COVID-19, the tides provide us with a creative understanding of political movements.In the general elections of presidential campaigns there are key moments when campaigns have high tides in their favor. The pick or launch of the vice president is one of these.
