    I knew that Harris would be a better candidate than Biden.

    You’d have to be proverbially blind to not have seen it.

    Did I know it would be this wildly successful? Not so much. I knew it could be, and I knew Harris would be better than Biden.

      I’m with you and all, but shouldn’t we wait before considering it a victory?

      Plenty of racists and sexists out there who won’t say a word about Harris publicly but will vote for Trump the second they enter the booth no matter what.

        I’m not declaring victory- I’m saying Biden had almost zero chance of beating trump.

        If he had lost like four of any of ten states, he’d have lost I. 2020. He won the EC by a razor’s edge.

        And that was with all the shit of his presidency fresh. He’s had four years to retcon things, to shore up his base. And Biden had 4 years to fuck around on messaging.

        He was and is taking a beating there- and some of it is actually legitimate (Gaza for example.)

        Harris… it’s going to be a tough fight, but it’s her campaign to lose. Which is a night-and-day difference.
