So far...

...it looks like I'm going to be very wrong. The party is falling in behind the Vice-President and it's gratifying to see. Her speech today was compelling and powerful, and the members of the media (who have incredible reason to worry about a second Trump presidency) I've seen sound and look relieved.

I have to say again I don't know another politician who's had the incredible political courage and political instincts of Joe Biden. Should Harris win, and this race is going to be a tough one, it will be hard for me to contextualize just how important this man will have been to this country.

I'm seldom pained about being wrong. I'm human. But to be so wrong in case is just fine with me.

2. I didn't expect to be happy about this if it happened but so far so good. Harris has way more upside for sure.

The choice shouldn't have been close, but it was. The way it's going, I can't see any democrats bailing now.

but I love Kamala Harris. She was my hope in 2019. Then she suspended and Biden was perfect for the job and then he named Kamala VP and then this.

Fuckin A I am happy that she is it.
