Nightqueens-world - Ask Me Anything

ROBERT DOWNEY JR. first look as Doctor Doom at SDCC - July 27, 2024

Republicans play the race card reflexively.

Well. Apparently I was much more stressed about the election than I thought because I watched this and started crying.

I forgot what it was like to have actual charismatic politicians campaign. I know we talk a lot about parasocial relationships with them, but one of the things successful leaders do is inspire their people.

We have not had much to be inspired about. Biden is the unflavored tofu of the political world. I was going to do my duty, but nothing beyond that.

Watching other people be hype about her? So hype a majority of the people on ActBlue are first time donors? That 40K Zoom call? (They held another one for Black men and there were 20K on that.)

That fucking means something.

She doesn't have it in the bag (and honestly I'll be anxious until it's over), but I feel like we have a much better chance than before Biden bowed out.

In a lot of liberal/leftist circles there is this unspoken expectation that Black women will do the work because it is necessary but backbreaking. And sometimes I think non-Black people understand and are grateful. But also a lot don't and aren't.

With that in mind, I am absolutely serious when I say I think Kamala Harris might prevent the US from falling to fascism.

This is so sweet
