I’m still reeling, but with a wounded Joe, I feel that the tables have turned. Kick arse Dems, and turn your circular firing squad on the enemy. It’s time for KDay. And don’t screw this up. Sorry, but that has to be said.

And you said it, JD! Though I read Robert Hubble daily and appreciate his apologies when he uses shall we say strong language, I love it. And screw the so-called party leaders. After 60 years as a registered Dem I’m ready again to kick ass! Please don’t screw it up, party leaders.
But party rules say that Biden cannot pass his delegates to another candidate, so Harris will have to cement them on her own, as well as the superdelegates, a group of party leaders and former elected officials whose votes carry weight in the convention. As of 10 p.m. on Sunday, she had won 531 of the 1,986 delegates necessary to win the nomination.
I hope we Dems have enough sanity to cement her position in a flash as we make clear to the cretins that Dems are not perpetually snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Pray it be so…
Not lost on me is the symbolism of Kamala becoming the first woman, and woman of color, as the percents of Whites and White Males inexorably change from majority to minority, likely, in her first or second term as President of the United States. It would be the first time, I believe, that our leadership change is in keeping with who the people are in We The People. A big step forward toward being a nation governed by and on behalf of all it's people, just like the founders wrote in our Declaration of Independence. Let's Make it happen!
Before this happened, I thought we weren't ready, that the prejudices were too entrenched. But now, as the pressure built to such an extreme, Joe Biden is showing us all how to usher in a new era, without destructive drama. Kind of amazing really. He is our father figure, our champion. All this energy can move and we the people (in all our diversity) need to champion the cause whether or not we are ready. It is time.
After the I left that comment, it occurred to me that there's additional irony - she's a woman, a woman of color AND married to a Jewish-American white man.
Oh, surely there are not more enemies within, our over-arching goal is worthy of a little cohesion. Repubs seem to be glued together. We don’t need that but surely a little focus is in order.

I have lived through times when I wanted to kick Dems arses. Hopefully not now.

Them I do not trust

It appears to be happening. State delegations are meeting and voting to support Harris.
Can’t happen soon enough.

Chump losing to a women. How can it get better than that. Something to give our all for
Ironic, isn't it?

Yep
I fear the power of the super Delegate club
