Agree. However we must be aware that Murdoch (Wall Street Journal/Fox News), Putin (Russia Today TV), Orban, the Saudi's (gasoline prices), Musk (Twitter-X), Stone, Manafort, Kim (North Korea missile launches), XI (cyber attacks) and the autocrat oligarch network (see Anne Applebaum) are all working hard in the background to create a tsunami of con tricks/propaganda/sewage to dump on Kamala in October. The Dems better be prepared to attack on offense and fight back on defense.
Yep. Definitely a vibe in the air that people were not feeling earlier. It's a lot like 2008 and the rising tide that Obama rode. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at GOP headquarters and hear the talk about what is going on. I sense they are more fearful than they let on. If the wave can be sustained, it bodes ill for them when they have little more than "smear and fear" to counter with. At some point the well runs dry on that and people start looking and listening for both better messages and messengers, hopefully by late October or so.
Remember that there will be some terrifying lows, and dizzying highs, between now and November. But we're entitled to feel good, dammit, and I'm appreciating this high for all it's worth.
Had Biden stayed in, he might have won, and Harris might yet lose. But it seems pretty clear that Harris has given the campaign a boost that Biden couldn't have. Just being a fresh face, with an exuberant personality, is going to shake up a race where two old guys have been going at it for what seems like a lifetime. And Harris has a lot of qualities beyond that.
I've heard it expressed as if we've all been walking around at the wake of a most beloved relative, sad and disheartened and without hope, but now we're at the best wedding reception ever!
My husband said to me last night: “something has changed. I feel different. I can’t describe it, and then I realize I’m not despairing right now.”
Exactly.

Exactly. So far their "we have always been at war with East Asia" isn't sticking.
