It was not some grand plan, it was a massive failure.

I love Joe and was hoping he could pull out of the spiral but the writing was on the wall, especially after the covid diagnosis. The campaign was killing him physically and his prospects of winning were dimming by the day. Every one of my friends and family who vote Democratic are wayyyyy relieved. One of them had even grown irate, borderline furious at Biden for staying in, saying he had no business running for President and that Trump was a shoe-in. They ALL breathed a sigh of relief after the news broke, and I admit I did too.

I think a few people are holding back 100% from endorsing Kamala right now just to make sure she shows us that she is up to the huge task at hand and can handle the incoming that has already started from the right. From what I’ve seen from her lately I see this certain swagger and confidence that she has found in herself and is more at ease, her time as VP has served her well and she seems to be vastly better as a candidate than she was in 2020. One or two good interviews with Rachel or on The View, someone who won’t try a hit job on her and she’s good. It’s not quite a coronation, more like a final interview, an “ok just show us you’re up for this and don’t buckle under pressure” and she’s got the job.

Plan B is going as planned, there is a big burst of enthusiasm that our side desperately needed, and if one of our own tries to sabotage it they had better have a DAMN good reason or forever face exile. She would have to stumble really badly before the convention and I don’t see that happening.
