Life
I was 100% for Joe Biden. I was confident that he would beat the felon in a close contest. I was sad to see the way he ended what I consider a truly great career.
I am now 100% for VP Harris. Since having my computer shit the bed in a storm eleven days ago, and being off-line until this morning, I've seen and heard the response to her both in person and on the telephone. Let me give but two examples:
Last night, I went to see my sister's granddaughter's summer league basketball games. In between games, as we all moved to a different court, a large, apparently human was strolling the opposite way. He was rude in the sense of not making room for others. And you guessed it -- we donned a maga hat. I noted a small black lady not get out of his way, in kind of a game of chicken. He moved.
People who noticed were laughing, myself included. It was then I noticed she was wearing a "Harris: 2024" t-shirt.
I had a phone call late at night from a lady who in past years I knew as a Democratic Party activist. I knew her from going door-to-door for then Senator Obama, and again for his re-election. I had contacted her a few months ago, saying it was time to get started, but she said she'd have to get back to me. I had thought that she probably would not.
Late a night, the phone rang. It was her. She asked me if I thought a woman could be elected president? Yes. Even a non-white woman? Definitely. She started laughing, and said that was what she wanted to hear. She said she has been in contact with female friends across the state, and they are all very excited. She is around my daughte's age, in my opinion one of the key groups to winning not a close contest, but to expel the maga movement from the bowels of DC.
