Kinda weird to see the Democratic presidential ticket lead by two fairly relatable people that come off as humans? Versus the physical incarnation of bigotry and couchfucker? …this election might actually not lead to utter despair? Weird.
Walz seems like a good choice and sends some good signals, as well as just having comfy midwestern grandpa energy. And I really am finding Harris is doing things in a way that makes me hopeful.
One of the reasons I’m hopeful is I think if we start planning and organizing now, we stand a much better chance of achieving some real positive changes under an administration like this. We just have to make it politically advantageous to do so, and costly to compromise on human rights and dignity. I’m not expecting Harris to just do what we want on the left, and I suspect we’re going to have to fight tooth and nail for sex workers’ rights and not feeding the prison-industrial complex. But this is better than Biden or Clinton ever was.
