One thing that unites us as Americans is our love for our country. The highest form of patriotism is to fight for the ideals of our country.

That is how we preserve the promise of America. https://t.co/k2KFHA99jh

Democrats bask in optimism of Harris surge: ‘Enthusiasm is off the charts’
Party enjoys resurgence of excitement that was lacking during Biden’s bumpy re-election campaign

With Kamala Harris now poised to take on Donald Trump in the 5 November US presidential election, her fellow Democrats are enjoying a resurgence of optimism that was sorely lacking for much of this year, as Joe Biden struggled through a bumpy re-election campaign that he ultimately abandoned.

Since the president’s stumbling performance in his late June debate against Trump and his shock decision to withdraw from the race weeks later, Harris has rapidly ascended to become the party’s presumptive presidential nominee. Polls have shown her drawing even with, and sometimes overtaking, Trump in the support of voters nationally, and in the handful of crucial swing states that will determine the election.

The vice-president has pressed her attack by holding energetic rallies across the country, most recently with Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor who Harris this week selected as her running mate. Democratic strategists and activists say Harris has given the party a much-needed reset after months of jitters over whether Biden’s struggling candidacy was setting the party up for a historic wipeout.

“Among the base, the enthusiasm is off the charts, probably the most excited I’ve seen people since the Obama campaign,” said Ben Tribbett, a Democratic strategist in Virginia. “And I think a lot of that has to do with a sense of relief. I think people really felt like we were in a situation that was unfixable and untenable.”

    VP Harris is going to speak directly to the American people. She isn’t going to allow the beltway press to help Trump define her.

    She saw what you jackals & hyenas did to Obama, HRC, and Biden.

    Wow, this is from GOP pollster @FrankLuntz:

    “I’m trying to do a focus group tonight with undecided voters under the age of 27 for a major news outlet. And I can’t recruit young women to this, because they don’t exist as undecided voters,” he said.

    My Beloved Claire,

    I am writing you from the front lines of the race war. Today, we, the whites, have taken what perhaps is a deadly blow. Tim Walz, a fellow white, has committed a devastating insider attack, by making a joke about white people not liking spicy food. This may be the end. I don’t know if we shall ever recover.

    If I do not return home, please continue to train our boys, Connor and Tanner, to withstand the ways of the enemy by making sure they each have one Taco Bell Mild Sauce Packet every time you bring home drive thru for them.

    Forever Yours,
    David Marcus
