82 days left until the election (#4212)

      I didn't speak on the Kamala Harris vice presidential pick yesterday as I had another stream of thought going and I knew I had time for today to get a clearer narrative of what I wanted to say. First off she and Elizabeth Warren were my two most favored choices given the dynamics of these current days. Liz because she is not only a bulldog on economics but she has no love for trump. Kamala because she is also a bulldog on justice issues but also because of her young appeal. I had pulled back from choosing Liz for only one reason. That being she is in a state where when she won with Joe, her seat in the senate would be filled by her republican governor and we need every seat in the senate as possible.
     So quietly I sat on the sidelines watching the parade of posts that were debating who best would be Joe Biden's pick. First of all it was Joe's pick not ours. Second it seemed irrelevant to speculate when nothing would come of any effort of that nature. But again, quietly I had hoped he would pick Kamala because she is in a state where the governor is a democrat so when she wins with Joe, her senate seat would be filled by a democrat. As well there is the issue of gender and race at play. With Kamala filling both desires. I have been back here in California since before the new millennium so I have seen Kamala's rise through the ranks. She is fierce in an endearing way so at this moment when fierce and endearing are a great value she brings both to bear.
     Together with Joe, Kamala will be a difficult target for the dumb bullies in the right wing conservative party because Joe and she are smarter than them. The trumps of this world will only show us that they are not in the same league with either of Joe and Kamala and will exemplify instead that their upward punches have no steam to them. The end is coming for trumps and their lackey boot lickers because they have been found out and been found wanting! The promise of a better future is coming with Joe and Kamala, together with those of us who have been enduring the cruel brutality of trumps we are on the precipice of flushing down the metaphorical toilet the last 4 years of republican piss and shit! A good day yesterday, today, and the rest of tomorrows as our democratic ticket has been filled and now it is off we go to reclaim our national heritage and principled honor back.
