I just donated $50 to the DNC for downballot races and $25 to Harris for President Fund

I also resumed my monthly donation to ACT Blue which I had paused after the debate.

Act blue has recorded its largest single donation day in history. It currently sits @ $27.5 million in 5 hours. I predict it will reach $100 million by tomorrow. Dems are fired up for VP Harris. This is a sea change and it breathes new life into the Democratic party and chances to win this election in a little over 100 days.

I am changing my profile picture to VP Harris. I hope my Democrats will unify quickly behind the candidate who is selected.I hope it is Kamala Harris, I think she can win this thing.

"Democratic elites" have nothing to do with it outside of using it for fundraising.

If you're unfamiliar with it, start here:

I was taken aback by the announcement and started reading as much as possible and, of course, my inbox was flooded with donations requests. The first was from the DNC, I donated. Further down the list was an email from VP Harris, I donated again. Then I came to DU to measure the temperature here. So far, I have been pleasantly surprised.
