I don't deny all this optimism since Kamala got the nomination and is now leading in the polls feels good. 😊
I wonder if it will hold steady till November. I hope so. I really do.
Ever since 2016 I really don't trust the average "normal" American to go out and actually vote. I could believe Kamala leading all the polls until the election when Trump's goons turn out in greater numbers than ever and enough minorities/women are just somehow disenfranchised enough to not vote. I REALLY hope that doesn't happen though
E: and I also really fear for another Jan 6
Effing terrifying if not. I’d be green in that world because surgery, and fuck that shit eight ways before Tuesday.
