    You know my history regarding Biden. Go on, check my history since Biden did the right thing and dropped out. I’m still posting and not so much as an unkind word about Harris. Biden did the right thing. The party did the right thing. I’m overjoyed that for the first fucking time in far too goddamned long, Democrats listened instead of digging in their heels and demanding votes, every pore reeking of entitled paternalist condescension.

    You were wrong. Your shitty candidate bowed out like you didn’t want him to, and just look. The party has very much gotten in line behind Kamala. The predicted chaos and infighting hasn’t happened. She’s had the best fundraising in US history simply by being the understudy who was present at the time and not being Biden.

    The people who were giving a firehose of criticism to Biden and demanding that it was MANDATORY for him to step down, for the good of the Democrats and the country, have for the most part fallen silent

    Have you considered that it’s because they’re finally satisfied? At least for now? Harris is a reasonable compromise candidate. Biden wasn’t, and he listened to reason and bowed out. We’re better for it.

    a whole new grouping has arisen to give criticism to Harris and say that as good progressives they could never vote for a cop.

    Democrats are a big tent. Some of us don’t like genocide. Some of us don’t like cops. Some of us don’t like either. Harris is in a better position to distance herself from past actions than Biden was about ongoing actions.

    She ran on full cannabis legalization in 2020 and was a sponsor of the Justice in Policing Act of 2020. It ain’t gonna stick.

    I’m glad Biden dropped out.

    Are you?
