Optimism?

I can admit when I am wrong. It doesn’t happen often (that is sarcasm, it happens constantly) but when it does I can fess up to it.

When the media was going on and on about Joe Biden dropping out of the race I was very much a pissed off red head. No way. We held the primary. He won. That’s it. Yes he is old, but the nazi orange shit clown is old too and Joe is WAY more stable than that putz was even in his prime. I wanted Joe to stay in the race.

Then he dropped out. Shit. That’s when something I didn’t expect happened. Kamala Harris stepped up and somehow… magically… unified the entire party. Suddenly we were all on the same page and ready to go. Had that ever happened in my lifetime? Maybe late in Obama’s first run we might have felt something like this, but I don’t think it was this intense. Maybe it’s a social media echo chamber kind of thing where the algorithms are only bringing me people I agree with (yes, I know that’s a big part of this) but come one, folks. The transition from the Biden campaign to the Harris campaign was electric. It felt GREAT.

I will admit it. I was wrong about wanting Biden to stay in the race. Given what we know now, that would have been the wrong move.

Now we are adding Tim Walz to the ticket as Harris’ running mate and that unified feeling has intensified times a billion. Where has this guy been all of our lives? I feel so good about the state of things right now that I could almost be described as… I don’t want to say it but… I could almost be described as feeling patriotic. Almost. Who the hell saw that coming?

Harris/Walz in 2024. I might want to throw some more money at them. Bring it on!

Unity and Stuff

So… Biden is dropping out of the presidential race. He endorsed Vice President Harris. I don’t know how that is going to work as far as the convention and the nomination process will work over the next few weeks but…

I was really pissed off and feeling like the universe was kicking me while I was down…

But then…

Depression turned to anger which then turned to passionate determination.

Kamala Harris is going to kick the shit out of that nazi fuck. She’s going to be a human fire hose who pressure washes the filth out of our country. Hell yes.

I may or may not have just donated a few bucks to the Harris for President campaign.

Maybe in some weird, unexpected way, all of this ridiculousness is going to unite us against the fascist scumbag. A boy can hope at least, right?

Spam

I have given a little bit of money to the Biden campaign. I have also given a little bit of money to a Senate campaign or two. During the primary, I gave a little money to the Warren campaign. I’m also a member of the ACLU.

I am pleased with myself for all of those things. I’m a little tired of the spam it’s generated though.

Yesterday I received 11 spam emails for various Democratic causes, all asking for money. Today I have received seven and it’s not even noon yet.

I want to do my part and all, and I understand the reasoning. Also, I haven’t routed any of these addresses to my spam folder yet, just in case. Having said that, I am really ready for this crap to be over.

Vote Biden/Harris. Vote Democrat in the House and the Senate (especially if you live in Kentucky) and for any local offices. We need the Nazis to go away so that the Democratic fund raises will leave me alone for a while.

Damn It

 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: In the general election I will gleefully, blissfully cast my vote for Joe Biden.  I just… I just wish I didn’t have to.  Given the choice between Biden and Bernie there is no choice for me.  Bernie all the way.

This primary season has just been so… annoying.
