Friday

a delegate to the 2024 convention, and as her attendant (she's disabled), I got to sit on the floor of the convention center with her, and I was so excited to be there! (It was amazing... Kamala was amazing... Walz was amazing...and in any sane world, they would have crushed those psychopaths.)

I'm not ready to contemplate Kamala's chances in 2028, but I do SO WISH she had run for governor of California, instead! I can't even bear to look at any news of Swalwell (and the allegations against him)... with the absurd "jungle primary" creating the potential for a Republican to win in this dark blue state! I have kept assuming the current madness (so many Dem candidates, no one with a real lead, but the less popular candidates still refusing to drop out) would be resolved before it's too late, but if Swalwell (one of the three Dem frontrunners) exits the race, will Porter have the votes to be make the run-off? Or will Steyer? Porter kinda pissed me off when she ran for Senate at a time when her congressional seat (without her running as the incumbent) was in jeopardy ....and we needed her unique voice in the House... and the Senate seemed a long shot. I just get the impression she is a lot less popular than she once was. But Steyer, another billionaire?

Kamala would have been perfect, and a shoo-in.
