In her speech, Kamala Harris employs inclusive rhetoric to resonate with her audience, emphasizing collective action and shared responsibility. Phrases like "it's about you" and "it's about us" create a sense of unity, suggesting that the fight for justice and change is a collaborative effort rather than an individual pursuit.
