This is ***not** doom. In fact, there are huge advantages moving forward. We. Got. This.

Look, we are frustrated and so much more... anger, fear, confusion etc.

I've voted for and supported President Biden since the 2008 primary.

BUT this upends the GOP.

They now have the oldest candidate - ever. Ever.

And that candidate is trump who is a convicted criminal. His speech and everything showed how weak he is outside his cult.

Harris will hammer them on abortion, trump's project 2025 and the rest of it. Her prosecutorial skills will shine. I doubt he will debate her, but if he does, she will take it to him.

Vance, aside from being a morally bankrupt grifter like his running mate, isn't ready for prime time.

We. Got. This.

1. Sorry, a little bit of gloom here

And if she’s not the one chosen to go forth and be the president and they pick somebody else?

2. This just swept a ton of fronts away from the MAGA

Age being on top of that.

We now can make epic history, in the face of a conservative effort to move the country backwards, we can move it forward so far that they can never go back.

3. I don't think Trump will debate VP Harris either

As soon as she is the nominee she needs to call for a debate.

4. I agree.

When I first saw the news I screamed. Could not believe this shit happened!

The more I think about it I believe it's better this happened now rather than after another bad debate, closer to the election.

Kamala has a lot of time to take the hand-off and run with it.

As long as she is the nominee - with a strong VP - we'll win in November.

The angst and disarray was really dragging everyone down. It's over. Not, mind you, that I condone the way they kicked him out.

But clearly, Biden agreed. So, let's get on with it.

5. From your keyboard to God's ears

Let's hope that's how this happens. The Dems wanted Joe out, they had better coalesce around who the PEOPLE want, and in a hurry.
