A very optimistic article; despite the assertive title, it consists mainly of “shoulds” - enthusiasm among Democrats should rise; Democratic candidate poll numbers should rise; those withheld donations should start pouring in. There’s very little in this article aside from wishful (or, hopeful, if you will) thinking.
Being hopeful is fine. Predicting positive outcomes can be reasonable. The title is a complete misnomer, though; none of this has yet come to pass.
Best option for unity is no one runs against her. I know Whitmer and Newsom both said they wouldn’t run against Harris. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
I find Lemmy sometimes seems to attach my replies to arbitrary comments. I mostly assume it’s my mistake, but I’m increasingly thinking it’s a rare bug in replying.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m on Team Harris, assuming she’s the nominee. If she’s not, I’m on team whomever is.
But to be clear: my complaint was that the title was counting eggs before they hatch, while the article title was a litany of things we progressives hope happen.

Well that was good for a laugh. What a self-important douche. Okay, let’s see if there is anyone who will mount a serious challenge.
Riding on, or responding to, my comment?

ackkk. should have been attached to the OP. very rarely I get a comment mis-threaded, but like you, think/thought it was a mistouch. interesting
It hasn’t even been 12 hours. It’s way too early to be expecting results.
But, we have some anyway. Currently up to $55m
