    This is heartening, but we’ll know better when swing state polls are out. We won’t know for sure until the election is over, unfortunately.

        I have to say, it’s been really encouraging and refreshing to see people getting kinda pumped up about the election for a change.

        Generally it’s just been brutal, unceasing, useless pessimism and defeatism for the last year, absolutely everywhere. So it’s nice to see.

          *for the last 8 years. I agree though. Maybe it’s naive but I’m feeling a little optimistic

      It definitely changes the game for Democrats, though it’s too early to tell how it plays out. I was really turned off to the idea of a Harris run, but her not being an old white guy might be her biggest asset. Her not being particularly charismatic might also endear her more to people, in a weird way it might make her seem more authentic, but it’s way too early to tell.
