There is such an overwhelming sense of hope and positivity today in me that this election may just be winnable after all. But I am not alone - this is the first time a couple of my reports just outright started talking politics with me and how excited they are about Kamala, and what will they do now to get her elected. Both women, one young, one older but charged up with this change. I am sure they are not alone here. Now hopefully this initial momentum continues all the way to November!

Not impressed tbh with Obama not coming out and endorsing Kamala right away. Like dude what the fuck is your agenda at this point to hold it back? His voice matters and he knows that so just say it already.

In 2020 I tweeted if we would be lucky to have Kamala/Pete 2024 and now I am suddenly feeling ooh this might actually happen.

Well done Joe Biden. My respect for you has gone up 100x. The best President this country has had in decades, even eclipsing Obama/Clinton in many respects, you did not deserve what was being done to you. It was the right call and now the country either stand up for democracy or get fucked and get what it deserves. You should retire in dignity.

Man looking at the way Bernie Sanders at 82 clearly and articulately defend Biden, it’s hard not to notice the cognitive decline of Biden. Sanders is a year older but he still speaks with so much clarity and thought. It’s hard not to compare the two and see the difference.

A week away from our summer trip and in the last 2 weeks I have changed every hotel in every city we are visiting to some nicer and cheaper! A hot tip is never prepay for your hotel bookings even if they are cheaper and wait it out till the last moment. More often than not you will find a better hotel at better price and it pays to have a cancellable reservation.

Zuckerberg really has the spine of a mouse doesn’t he? What a fucking loser. Trump said one thing and he is already bending the knee for him. These people just have no morality in them anymore.

I used to be a huge fan of Hoka shoes once upon a time. Now I can’t stand their lets make everything as garishly colorful and bright as we possibly can look of all their shoes.

This whole reservations for “Kannadigas” in Karnataka was a long time coming. For more than a decade BJP has been successfully brainwashing people in Karnataka against muslims, Tamilians, North Indians and even foreigners. Nowhere else are you going to find this level of hate against non Kannadigas as much as in Bangalore.

That said, I dont know why Bangalore became so brashly outwardly toxic like this. They could’ve easily just adopted the Chennai framework and given everyone the silent treatment for not speaking their local language.

Here’s the deal: if Biden does drop out and refuses to endorse Harris, prompting an open convention, and we somehow end up with a white person for president again, I think I am gonna sit that one out. I will stop donating to any Democrats however small they maybe and they will absolutely lose my trust that they care about POCs beyond lip service. It’s Harris or fuck off.

Say what you want, but republicans are very good at elevating shitty people of color and bringing them into mainstream news. Like how many POC democrats are in national cycle as much as republican POCs? Beyond Kamala, its hard to even think of a notable POC that democrats have elevated - its practically a white boys club at national level. And even with Kamala, the white democrats who are pushing for Biden to step aside can’t even suggest her name as replacement candidate. Something to think about for democrats because optics definitely doesnt look good!

What is the path ahead for democrats at this point? I think Biden really needs to look hard at himself and think if he will actually win the election or not if he continues. Republicans are already unifying and have the momentum from all angles at this point (monetary, public view, donors, media). I am just failing to see any game plan from Biden or democrats to turn around something even in name of public opinion. Democrats really need to stop this its all falling apart theme that they’ve embarked upon. Its just very depressing to see my party so fucking chaotic.

Sorry to say this but Usha must be a complete piece of shit herself to not just marry but have 3 kids with Vance.

I am fucking loving this heat! Too bad it’s going to go back to 80s this week!

J D Vance is unique in the sense that he is a clone of Trump and his values where shaped by his Indian nationalist wife, so he could simultaneously also be the PM of India while being the VP.

Honestly think Trump missed a trick by not nominating Vance as his VP pick instead of Vivek. For that we must be thankful because this gives me hope that the may be beatable at the ballot after all. With Vivek, I thought it was a solid pick as a wingman for Trump. I wonder if Trump saw too much of himself in Vivek.

I am curious to see how the year of accountability is going for people keeping track.
