    even a single day before he dropped out and endorsed her, it was up in the air.

    people i know in-person who didn’t see both tweets, when i told them, first immediately reacted with “oh no, now what, they might not endorse kamala, oh god what if they try to give us RFK or something” until i could actually SHOW them that Biden endorsed her. And even then, they were hesitant to believe it.

    It’s always easier to say “this was inevitable” after it’s already happened.

        that’s the fun part: she is likeable!

        Furthermore, the way shit has unfolded has left me considerably more entertained than i had been prior to july 21st, so my fanfictionalizing on events that cannot be confirmed is just icing and a cherry on top for myself and most of my friends who also were marveled to watch history turn on a DIME and zoom off in a much happier and completely unexpected direction.

        If you thought I was looking a gift horse in the mouth, I can understand why I might’ve accidentally come across that way, but honestly I haven’t been this happy about politics in years. I just happen to also enjoy having a little extra fun with it on the side. My support for kamala is real. REAL SILLY, but also actually real too.

        because after being made the butt of a bad joke for the past nearly-a-decade, america needs a good laugh right now.
