I’m OK with Harris. Not thrilled, but OK.

It would have been nice to get Warren. Sanders has the same age issue (though is still mentally there in interviews) as Biden, and that window has closed. So many people at the federal level have clung to their positions for so long, it feels like as a country, we wouldn’t be familiar with people in the primes of their life actually running the show.

At 45, I shouldn’t still be waiting for my generation to have any level of power. AARP is coming for me in 10 years.

    Biden gave a great State of the Union Address in March. Yes, it was all on teleprompter, but he moved like a normal old guy, not the careful shuffling he’s been doing lately. I’m thinking Biden’s decline has been uneven and rapid. Yes, he’s old, but he wasn’t acting old all the time until very, very recently.

    I’m glad he’s giving himself a chance to slow down. I think he needs it and deserves it.

    I’m glad to vote for Harris. And like you said, I’d also vote for Jimmy Carter or even a Yellow Dog if that’s who’s chosen to go against Trump.
