Are You Optimistic About The Election?

From Fleabag:

Not only am I optimistic, I am fired up and excited as hell. I haven’t felt the joy, the enthusiasm, or the optimism like this since 2008.

I almost — almost, not quite because we’re all still recovering from the Trump traumas — want to believe that this feeling, shared by so many other people, represents a fever breaking in America, a rejection and repudiation of the people who did their best to lead us into a dystopian, fascist, nightmare.

We have a huge fight ahead of us. They aren’t running a campaign as much as they are preparing for another coup, and we will have to turn out an incredible number of voters to account for all the places they have people in place to deny and contest when he loses.

Before the debate, I was concerned. After the debate, I was despondent.

But now, I am fired up and excited as hell. Kamala Harris is going to be an incredible president, and there’s a good chance she pulls the House and Senate with her. If that happens, we get SCOTUS reform, Trump faces the music for his crimes without interference, (and maybe some of his co-conspirators go with him, Mark Meadows), and we push the demons Trump unleashed back into the darkness where they belong.

But it only happens when ALL OF US turn out to vote. It only happens when we get all of our friends and family to vote. It only happens when we volunteer, stay involved, and SHOW UP.

We can do this.

We have to do this.

We are not going back.

VOTE BLUE!

OMG…

And I swear to blog, the first pedant’s comment on BirdChan was, “It’s not even a good impersonation of him.”

I was so startled I didn’t notice it was paid for by Eric Swalwell for Congress.

I’m Looking Forward…

…to seeing how Denis Villeneuve is going to portray Edrick, the Guild Navigator in Dune Messiah.

Will he be bizarre, or—since he seems to unconcerned with changing major parts of the story—will Villeneuve just omit the character altogether?
