The past months the mood in America has been: not these two old geezers again.
I am honestly optimistic that it’s going to be a landslide for the Democrats without Biden. Americans are just sick of Trump and they didn’t want Biden to run again.
So the Democrats are giving the people what they want, while the Republicans are trying to force feed them something they don’t want.
I’m still a little worried with how racist and sexist even Democrat voters tend to be. Hopefully the excitement of not having an 80 year old as the candidate outweighs subconscious bias.
Obama won by healthy margins in '08 and '12, and Hillary – the least likeable candidate that’s made it to the top of the Democratic ticket since Dukakis – still won the popular vote. I think the people who would vote against a black woman for President were never going to vote for a Democrat in the first place, and given the general aura of relief and enthusiasm I’ve seen in left wing spaces since the announcement I think Harris is going to be riding a wave of support from the left, even if half of it is just from people who are glad they don’t have to hold their noses to support a doddering octogenarian because the alternative is fascism.
These people couldn’t accept a white mean beating their white man. I look forward to their civil, humble response to their now anointed god being beaten by a black woman.
The humiliation of losing to a black woman.

Let’s see how this plays out.
