I must say, as unhappy as I was with folks forcing Biden out, I think it might have been the right call.
I feel energy like I did in 2008. Harris doesn't have decades of negative press to contend with, as Hillary did, and this time, there's no spoiling from other candidates.
I'm allowing myself a bit of hope...
@sfleetucker I thought all my friends that were in support of upending Biden were nuts and that the result would be chaos at the Convention. I was wrong and some strange part of me thinks that Biden was hanging on just to screw up the other party's plans. Whatever, it seems to be working very well. Just because it had never been successfully pulled off before wasn't enough not to try.
@dietotaku @sfleetucker I think most of us understand the stakes of this election. We want more elections - that's pretty much what the risk is.
@altucker @sfleetucker I am genuinely shocked at how quickly and fervently Democrats have coalesced behind Harris. after the shitshow that was 2016 and the 2020 primaries, I didn't think we stood a snowball's chance in hell with anyone but Biden. but now I actually have a tiny shred of hope that we could actually pull this off...
