Glad you finally "made it official," and I look forward to your posts - especially with Kamala Harris as our history-making nominee! Yes, Hillary did that, too, but that orange schmuck managed to weasele her out of her rightful place in the Oval Office. I'm eager to see Kamala jump THAT final (and VERY annoying) hurdle, too!

And I look forward to the END of the strangle-hold of the damned Electoral College. Nothing like getting a reminder every four years that no matter how you vote, somebody else's vote counts more than yours does.
