Well. Apparently I was much more stressed about the election than I thought because I watched this and started crying.
I forgot what it was like to have actual charismatic politicians campaign. I know we talk a lot about parasocial relationships with them, but one of the things successful leaders do is inspire their people.
We have not had much to be inspired about. Biden is the unflavored tofu of the political world. I was going to do my duty, but nothing beyond that.
Watching other people be hype about her? So hype a majority of the people on ActBlue are first time donors? That 40K Zoom call? (They held another one for Black men and there were 20K on that.)
That fucking means something.
She doesn't have it in the bag (and honestly I'll be anxious until it's over), but I feel like we have a much better chance than before Biden bowed out.
In a lot of liberal/leftist circles there is this unspoken expectation that Black women will do the work because it is necessary but backbreaking. And sometimes I think non-Black people understand and are grateful. But also a lot don't and aren't.
With that in mind, I am absolutely serious when I say I think Kamala Harris might prevent the US from falling to fascism.
The things we will never (and shouldn’t) know.
I'm angry enough about what I *do* know.
Okay so I just HAD to comment after seeing this fuckery;
If you don’t know, Trump made a comment how if he gets back in office, he’ll be Dictator for a Day:
And when you couple that with his comments of wanting to rip up the constitution:
And the fact he’s buddy buddy with fucking DICTATORS:
And STOLE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE:
How the FUCK can these people claim they’re “True ‘Muricans’” yet support a fucking TRAITOR?! Not even joking, Trump is a fucking TRAITOR and we should ALL prevent him from coming into the White House because he is a THREAT to America’s security.
Sorry for the rant I just had to say this because these dumbasses do NOT know what is in store for a dictatorship.
Basically your life will no LONGER be your own and EVERYTHING you do will be in the hands of the government. EVERYTHING from internet usage to the clothes you wear.
Let’s prevent all of this by voting blue. 🙏
Vote Blue, Vote Democrat! 💙🇺🇲
VOTE BLUE!
EDIT: This post is gaining traction, so I think it's important to show you this:

One take I’m glad I’m seeing less and less of with the growing rise of Kamala Harris’ popularity and something I’ve wondered since I’ve heard it for the last year….
If Trump gets in and we lose our rights with that Project 2025 bullshit because we didn’t vote as a protest vote, how can we Palestine if we’re scrambling after losing our own rights?
I ask this because I’ve never gotten a concrete answer.
Thankfully I see these people are just a vocal minority.
