It is feeling that way, for sure. I had my doubts, but I think Biden made the right decision, and I’m over the moon with how quickly everyone has gotten behind Harris.
That’s the point, me thinks. If she wins in November, it won’t because of some inevitability, it’ll be because people rallied around her and supported her. People seem to forget that this is an interactive, democratic process. That what WE DO matters. Sitting around and hand-wringing wasn’t helpful. Rallying around the non-fascist candidate, whoever it was, was key… the excitement around Harris WILL help with that.
From a family member who was there, it was loud and happy.
Also, the secret service wasn’t messing around. People were told to be there starting at 6:30am for screening. Whoever is driving the bus now decided they aren’t going out like the previous boss.
