It’s really such a small thing. One name changes position on the ballot. A second appears for the first time.
Kamala Harris isn’t running for Vice-President anymore. She’s aiming for the whole shebang. I don’t know if Tim Walz may have wondered occasionally if he would ever be on a national ticket. Yet he definitely is.
Just two small ballot changes. But suddenly there is hope, dashing the despair of earlier days.
If there is any sense left in the world, it will be enough. I just pray the euphoria engendered by the new ticket lasts through election day and causes many potential Trump voters to realize who is real and who is a self-centered liar.
Because you know that the lying crowd, led by the liar-in-chief, will say anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to discredit this new ticket. You can be certain those lies will be reinforced over and over by certain television channels and social media sites. And, after being bombarded on a daily basis, many will accept the lies as the truth.
We just have to believe that there are enough from the other side who (1) have had enough of the blowhard, (2) couldn’t stomach voting for Joe Biden, but (3) would be willing to support this new ticket by placing country first and temporarily abandoning their preferred party.
Even the Democrats, traditionally scattered from left to right on the political spectrum, seem to be coming together for the greater good. I sense less of “my way or no way,” which had threatened victory.
Can we pull it off?
It is by no means ensured.
Harris appears to have the smarts and guts to deal with the nasty campaign we can count on from the other side. She seems to be a normal type of politician with enough experience to handle the presidency.
Walz seems not at all run-of-the-mill. He can joke. He can laugh. He seems like an all-around good guy. The opposition labels him as an outright liberal. Like that’s a negative. In spite of the fact he has accomplished many good things for the people of Minnesota. But he doesn’t seem to be a far-left moron. He strikes me as a practical guy who sees a problem and works to solve it. In spite of the difficulty. What’s so wrong with that?
We’ll have to see if this new ticket can overcome the basic nastiness of what has become the Republican party.
I’m hoping for the best.
But hoping for the best is not enough.
Vote.
Get everyone you know to vote (if they’ll vote the right way).
Remember that hope and loss of despair do not automatically translate to victory.
