May I start screaming now?
Screaming, why?
Because I just want politics to be boring again and this isn't boring. This is a 'never happened before' and 'once in a life time' and 'unbelievable moment' every WEEK! I almost want to say day because at times we have gone less than a day with something more crazy happening that in a sane world we would all look at and shun from the face of this earth.
This should have happened month ago if it was going to, not two weeks before the convention when we have some states that were already saying Biden couldn't be on their ballots since the convention was 'too late'.
This add more unknowns into all of this insanity and I just want to to end. Under 20 years ago a candidate for one part dropped out after an over enthusiastic yell. Now we have a candidate who says he will be a 'dictator on day one', that is an honest quote.
I just want boring and I will fight for boring.
It's OK to make mistakes as long as you don't make the same ones. If you do then you're not learning.
I have another reason to be pissed at Biden. I don't understand why he made such an abrupt 180. Frankly, the time for this conversation was back during the primaries, not four months before the election, and the middle of a horse race is no time to be mending fences.
Also like...calls for him to step down should have come from people with a particular different candidate in mind, not just "uh he's old". Rare time I'm disappointed in John Stewart.

Well it does look like Kamala Harris is being primed to step up to the podium. She was my first pick at the 2020 primaries, so this will be a fruitful election for me.
I'm a lot less concerned about Biden stepping down now than I was. Dems seem to be lining up behind Harris a lot more smoothly than I expected, and the GOP is in a full-on panic.

The way this snowballs speaks volumes about what a weight-down Biden was in the first place. The energy this freed up is immense. But make no mistakes, this is not a moment to rest on laurels. The Democrats finally and for the first time in years, have gotten the initiative. Now about keeping it and capitalizing it...
