That I felt it coming but was defiant about it.I have been a fan of Joe for almost as long as he's been in office and I was not happy that many were ready to turn their backs on him. Sure, he's old, we know that and the way he was presented on the teevee was truly unfair. So was the parade of naysayers following the debate, instead of supporting him. Joe is the most respectable man in DC for heaven's sake, and one of the savviest.
Anyway, I was hoping, being retired also, that the younger voters could see how he was helping them, I'm sure many do/did. I speak to plenty of younger voters, I was getting a mix of opinions about him.
Since the media have decided to be unfriendly toward us, it's hard to know what's really going on if you don't have a lot of outside contact.
I was pissed when I heard the news yesterday but seeing that the response is good I am feeling better about it. I did vote for Harris as part of the ticket in the primary so only part of my vote was dismissed, if you want to put it that way, I am beyond caring about that part. I don't want to have to find another country to go die in.
Today, I am looking forward, Harris is shining and equally important, the opposition is knocked back on it's heels so far they ended up tumbling down a bit of a slope... backwards. Which totally makes my day, knocks their sorry shit out of the news cycle for a while. Someone here, today, made a comment about trying to recall when the RNC was, like, oh yeah, last week, seems like last year!
Yeah, the narrative has changed overnight and I am now thinking that Joe was keeping this possibility in his back pocket just in case. This was a big, swift kick in the nuts for the IQ45 campaign, did you hear them squealing about it on the news? They spent all that money on messing with Joe and he pulled the rug out from under them and set us on course for the first woman as president.
Pretty fucking cool, Brandon.
Not many of us could have predicted that this would actually happen even if we imagined it. If you had other stuff to deal with at home,it wasn't like you could have divined this one all that easily. I imagined it but never thought it would happen like this.
Anyway, that's what I know watching from Montana.
