I should preface this with, yes, I'm a boomer.

I've been wondering when younger generations would save us and it turns out all we had to do was LET them.

Thoughts

Never underestimate the power of women of color. If they truly get behind an idea, or a person it is more or less a done deal. You don't need to teach them how to organize. Solidarity and organizing is a survival skill they learn at birth. You can never command this into being, it comes only organically from the bottom up. Nor can you stop it once it gets moving.

You want voter turnout, the Black and Hispanic mothers and grandmothers can get it done.

Seems to me Biden waited until AFTER the RNC to announce he's out so they would attack him and him alone at the convention, spending all their money and research efforts on him and not Harris.

And you can tell it worked by all their bitchin'.

Troll level: Expert.

#poetry
I've thrown off shades
to blind my pursuers
hacked off my shadows
to choose my fate
left slivers behind me
from bleeding feet
scattered feathers from
discarded wings
and now I drink the
moonlight curse from
my old footprints
bitter but inoculated
until I am whole again
and my shadows have
come home and I
am whole again.

Not sure about you, but a Kamala Harris / Pete Buttigieg ticket - would be unstoppable.

#FLASH - Joe Manchin is now 'considering' a bid for President. Fuck this guy. His sole purpose in life is to fuck with Democrats.
