Got home from work yesterday and my soon to be 20 year old daughter... [View all]

Started talking about Kamala.
Our house hasn’t talked much politics over the last month. My wife is quite glum about the whole thing.

My daughter was talking about Kamala this and Kamala that. I asked and she said instagram is awash in Kamala. I mentioned that Kamala didn’t go to Netanyahu’s speech, “She shouldn’t have” said my daughter. She mentioned the $81M in money raised and the volunteers. I mentioned AKA and how that many volunteers can make a big difference.

She’s very bright and she is registered to vote.
The level of enthusiasm is noticeable. My wife was still pessimistic. Finally I looked at my wife and said, “I know you are disappointed in Joe ….but she has a very real chance at winning this”. My daughter agreed.
