Political Memes

You can look at all my comments today to see my enthusiasm. I wish more folks were feeling hopeful. I told my partner I was stoked and she was so confused as to why this shouldn't be perceived as a full scale collapse.

I didn't like Kamala in the past. I didn't like Biden either. Politically speaking, they both align closely with one another and are also aligned quite close to my political leanings, ideally speaking. I didn't like the baggage Kamala brought with her and I didn't like how boring ole Biden was. Turns out boring won, and I've truly valued the work he's done since 2020.

I've also come around on Kamala since then, especially after reading her book, and listening to some of her speeches more recently. I don't think she's the same person she was 20+ years ago. Who among us would say that about ourselves? I think she's evolved away from the drug criminalization prosecutor era, and she's clearly gotten a lot stronger since 2020 as both a public speaker and debater.

If her and Trump actually do have a debate (I doubt it) I fully expect her to completely embarrass him. She's much younger, much sharper, and has all of the right tools through her career to completely pants him as the old withering corpse that he has become even since 2016. Bonus points if she drops a "lock him up!" because, well, she actually could.

Yes, I am actually looking forward to voting for Harris. I would even more so if she taps Mark Kelly as her VP. That would be a dream.
