    I appreciate the concern but Hillary did not get overhyped. She wasn’t moving anyone like this.

      That’s what I remember. People not liking Hillary. It seems totally different with Harris. I hope it stays that way.

        The first seven presidential elections in my lifetime had either a Bush or a Clinton on the ticket. The eighth had a Clinton as a major player in the primaries. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that we had a Bush/Clinton-free election. Only to go right back to a Clinton four years later. I think it was the first, but definitely not the last, time I asked myself “WTF is this timeline?” 2016 was the only election I sat out because fuck that shit. (For the record, my state went blue by a comfortable margin, my protest non-vote meant nothing.) And after 4 years of flabbergasting insanity and inanity, the best the DNC could come up with is Biden? And Trump never went away, and then that train wreck of a “debate.”

        So yeah, Harris has been an unexpected breath of fresh air.

        Pass the coconuts.
