I go back and forth.

I'm furious on President Biden's behalf but deeply appreciative of his willingness to try to keep Trump from the White House at his own cost.

I'm very worried about what AOC live streamed about there being no plan, but am grateful to see so much momentum (Joementum?) for VP Harris. She may be all the plan we need.

I'm very worried about legal challenges. You know Brett Kavanaugh in particular would be ecstatic to deny VP Harris the presidency because she ran circles around him and made him look like a complete buffoon during his confirmation hearing.

I really like, respect, and admire VP Harris. I was planning on voting for her in the 2020 primary but didn't get to. I was ecstatic when President Biden chose her. I'd be very happy with President Kamala Harris.

I think she's incredibly smart. I also have the strong impression she's got the humility to seek out the advice from the savviest operatives moving forward.

She's the one candidate who could give me hope. I was ridin' with Biden. I'll holla for Kamala.

It's a pendulum between "Oh, shit! What did those fucking morons and the media get us into? We're gonna lose!" and "This is awesome! Kamala's going to absolutely beat Trump down in a debate and we're gonna kick his ass!"

I'll feel more settled when I see Kamala as our definitive nominee and know that she's on the ballot in all 50 states and lawsuit proof. I'll also feel better if I know that she can debate Trump at least twice in a format where his mike is cut during responses and moderators can fact-check in real time. I'll also feel better if she picks someone really sharp like Mayor Pete and he can get one debate to obliterate Neckbeard.
