PMT: Harris, Walz & a New Dynamlic
As some of you may have noticed, I spent literally two years complaining about a presidential race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, two elderly and fairly grim individuals. The grim Joe Biden only emerged in the last few years, of course, but there is no denying that his recent appearances have been a lot less than fun.
Things have changed. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz not only have different policies than the Republican nominees, but a completely different attitude-- they seem to actually think America is a good place and they enjoy being here.
The thing I find most off-putting about JD Vance and Donald Trump outside of policy issues (which, yeah, matter the most) is how they describe an America that I just don't recognize, full of scary things and scary people. That's just not the reality for most of us.
Now let's enjoy these last 89 days before the election!
