I had Covid, then a mild heart attack (feeling much better)

1) Please vote. This is the last day to make your voice heard.
2) I don't feel anxious because how Kamala's campaign left it out and from the initial polls, it's showing and polls have been underrating women as we saw in the Selzer poll. I'm more worried about the House and Senate seats. Those become crucial to regain the majority and a step closer to have the country back on track.
Haven't been here for awhile. Still looking for a job, but, I have been working on several jobs and a possibility a couple of them are placed and making some good money.
I wish I spend more time here. Had to make adjustments the past few months. Hope to be more active here since Twitter is going down the drain soon.
What I notice in the past month and they’re all related: after Biden said he’s not running, Kamala’s campaign not only is running smoothly, but there’s a joy we haven’t seen in politics since 2008. The Olympics we watch in Paris was joyful. Most of it was the broadcasting, but the other part is although I still rooted for Team USA, I was rooting for other competitors to be doing their best. I think the world is sick of hatred and just want joy.
After a couple of days:
-Biden is not running for 2nd term.
-Biden endorses Kamala to be President.
-The past 2 days, Kamala’s campaign raised over $100 million+.
-Kamala is the presumptive nominee in 1 day.
All of that plus I initially thought the Dems were screwing Biden, but now, I think Biden did planned this well before the first debate. Frankly, it’s brilliant.
Well, this explains why the Democrat mega donors are not donating to the Party this year. Part of it is race, but almost all of it deals with this. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/what-will-happen-to-the-trump-tax-cuts-in-2025-and-how-will-they-affect-the-national-debt/
I didn’t watch the speech last night but clips of it on another site and 1) I’m not surprised by the speech and his tone, although I was surprised he was out of it and 2) this is not Biden-Trump, the race is between Harris-Vance. If the media, pundits, and politicians say Biden can’t make it in the 2nd term, so can’t Trump. That was a big direct hit to media
With this election hoopla going overdrive, this is what I’m feeling about the elections now. https://youtu.be/QovvXL8HrQM
There seems to be an uptick for Biden to step aside. That includes Clooney and just now Peter Welch. Clooney is more about protecting his partner, Amal, about Gaza. Welch and others are likely getting paid to say about Biden leaving because he’s cutting corporations profits and why the donor money is not what it is in the 1st 2 quarters. If you want a brokered convention, here’s their chance, but this seems to be a huge backfire if they pull this off.
There’s a lot of talk of media pounding us on Biden should leave. Now late night hosts are getting into the act. Jon Stewartand John Oliver has a history of this, but now Colbert, Meyers are joining in. Taken a step back, they’re done with Biden because they can make jokes all day
It’s the next person in for President these late night hosts are worried about because they have to thread a needle of joking about her performance without sounding racist and/or derogatory. Good luck.
A lot of people are getting caught up with the “Biden is done” hype, but they need to get off. The reason they’re complaining is:
1) Biden is old and worried about the succession plan. Remember, you’re voting for an administration, not just one person, which leads to the main issue.
2) Press and some party officials don’t want Kamala as President. It’s obvious why and it’s a damn shame. Time for the Democrats to back the whole administration.
Apparently there’s data of the quality of questions from the Washington media and well, it’s expected, but look at the numbers after Obama left office. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/analyses/bidens-solo-news-conferences-perspective
I’m not watching the debates, but I can summarize this easily from what I read:
-Biden has a hoarse voice and apparently there are demands to change.
-Trump lies and will continue to lie
-CNN don’t want to use the mute button
-People are going to get dumber after this
-You have to think pro wrestling psychology for these debates.
