So far, one of the main things Trumpers have been trying to insult Harris with is her laugh. Seriously, her laugh, which is by all reasonable metrics a perfectly nice laugh. I guess it sorta makes sense that they'd do this, though; Trump built his platform on being a mean asshole, while Harris's laugh sounds warm and friendly. It's like they're trying to insult her for not being mean and nasty.

Joe Biden, coherently and normally: I have three issues to speak about. First, the NATO conference went well. Second, the economy is back on track and inflation is down. Third, my proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza is moving forward. Any questions?

The media: Did You Know That You Are Old

Guys, my friend found something out about Trump and the US election. (I do not care that me and them are British.)

They found this on a YouTube video.

Jesus Christ please vote idc if Biden is in hospice care we cannot let Trump become president again

This.

A debate platform to spin lies without any fact checking. Brilliant CNN.

How it's going:

People are feeling hope for the first time in ages now that Kamala Harris is running for president.

People - everyday, ordinary people - are donating millions of dollars to her campaign.

Huge numbers of young people are registering to vote for her.

Donald J. Trump is scared shitless.

And it's only been three days since Joe Biden dropped out!

Well. Apparently I was much more stressed about the election than I thought because I watched this and started crying.

I forgot what it was like to have actual charismatic politicians campaign. I know we talk a lot about parasocial relationships with them, but one of the things successful leaders do is inspire their people.

We have not had much to be inspired about. Biden is the unflavored tofu of the political world. I was going to do my duty, but nothing beyond that.

Watching other people be hype about her? So hype a majority of the people on ActBlue are first time donors? That 40K Zoom call? (They held another one for Black men and there were 20K on that.)

That fucking means something.

She doesn't have it in the bag (and honestly I'll be anxious until it's over), but I feel like we have a much better chance than before Biden bowed out.

In a lot of liberal/leftist circles there is this unspoken expectation that Black women will do the work because it is necessary but backbreaking. And sometimes I think non-Black people understand and are grateful. But also a lot don't and aren't.

With that in mind, I am absolutely serious when I say I think Kamala Harris might prevent the US from falling to fascism.
