    I was definitely one of those people that thought we should stick with Biden because his name was known, and that we were too close to the election to get a new candidate enough exposure to be competitive. It wasn’t that I thought Biden was the best choice for president, just that I thought the timing was too tight.

    I’m so happy to be wrong about this. The enthusiasm for Harris is fantastic, and she’s doing great with the spotlight on her. The candidate switch has stolen the media attention from Trump and it’s pretty clear he doesn’t know how to handle it. Younger people are more interested in voting, minorities are more interested in voting, women are more interested in voting - it’s fucking great.

    I was wrong. And I couldn’t be happier about it.

      I’m with you. I wasn’t sure we should stick with Biden, but I wasn’t sure we shouldn’t, either. Being an incumbent does count for something, and I’d never heard people being that excited about Harris. To be it was whatever gave us the best chance of keeping Trump from winning.

      But I couldn’t be happier with how it’s turning out, and I very much hope we can keep the momentum going.
