All that racial reckoning? Bring it.

I figured a large chunk of the liberal/democrat persuasion would be voting blue no matter who. While I thought Biden was too old, I also thought it was too late to change at this short notice. Plus, I wasn't sure Harris would generate the enthusiasm to make it worthwhile.

Well, I think I was wrong. I've been amazed at how people who didn't want Biden out are in full blown ecstasy, it seems, for Harris. I think the youth of Harris vs the age of Biden or Trump could be the difference. She's going to have to overcome both sexism and racism. But with people motivated to right the ship on female body autonomy, well... I'm hopeful.
