    I will admit I was wrong.

    At first I was like noooooo, then when he endorsed Kamala I was like, oh god noooooooā€¦but Iā€™ll eat my words. Iā€™m excited and happy with the outcome so far and, regardless, was voting dem anyway.

    Like, maybe Iā€™m speaking too soon, but I almost feelā€¦a modicum of hope again?

      Iā€™ll admit I was wrong too. I thought it would turn into an intra-party squabble that lasted weeks, but Iā€™m pleasantly surprised. Itā€™s nice to be able to make a positive choice instead of just a ā€œlesser evilā€ one.
