All of us could use more humility (me included). When I tweeted rapid support for Kamala Harris on Sunday, one of the progressives on Mastodon immediately criticized me. "Trust me," the person said, "young people won't support her."
Two days later, TikTok is full of youthful support for Harris, Harris has raised record donations, and the Dems have renewed enthusiasm. Mr. Trust Me needed to less criticizing and more listening.
