THAT DREAM BECOMES THE COMMON SENSE OF THE PEOPLE.
I am quoting from Ibram X. Kendi here.

Racism and misogyny live in the discredited past.
WE CAN'T GO BACK.
Great leaders and people of unyielding courage and conviction have broken barriers.

Joe Biden, amid hate and treats from howler monkeys opposed to him, and doubters in his own party, shattered the glass barrier and made what was a dream very real. There's no "more of the same" here. With the power and immediacy of a lightning bolt, it's the new reality versus a retreat to the world of robber barons and Jim Crow.
WE CAN'T GO BACK.
WE WON'T GO BACK.
Women and People of Color, claim your future.
It's right now.

(155 posts)I just KNEW the Democrats would immediately form a circular firing squad and screw it all up. Oust Harris and anger every woman, black and Indian demographic that otherwise might vote Democrat. I was wrong. Very, very wrong. I watch the Bulwork podcast crewed by former Republican Never Trumpers and they can't stop singing the praises of Harris and the job her team is doing running this campaign. I don't want to get too confident yet, but it really does feel like a wave is coming. I still worry about why the polls are not heavily in Kamala's favor, but I hope its because worrying is my nature.
