Kamala Harris

One interesting thing about Vice President Harris is that she always speaks in complete sentences.  That might be annoying to some of Trump's most ardent supporters, but for those who are drawn to his style: four years is all we've budgeted for you.  For those who run with Trump supporters for fear of taxes: you can hope for compromises.  For those who fear for the economy: the Dems are doing fine; there's nothing better for the economy than a myriad middle class families stocking up on luxuries.  For those who are anxious about immigration insanity: that's not a uniquely Republican issue.  Straightening up the border problems will be a bipartisan objective, even if Republicans like to pretend that they own it.  Ẅhat the Dems do not like is unnecessary cruelty for the sake of deterrence. 

Interesting that Trump thought he would be hale, and in full possessions of his faculties through a second term.  But this second term, delayed by four years, has pushed Trump past his shelf life.

We can only hope that Kamala Harris will be the first of a new generation of younger, more capable presidents.

Once again—and this is becoming common inthese latter years—the election is likely to be decided not by how people vote, but rather by which voters decide to turn out on election day.  There certainly are a few voters who haven't made up their minds yet—and I'm not going to waste my scorn on them!—but they are few.  (Lots of analysts are persuaded that these 15 voters are going to decide the election, but I doubt it.)

On the other hand, voters are getting lazy and unmotivated to actually leave their houses and go vote!  This is yet another instance of the decline in discipline that I'm seeing; people don't do what they know they should do, so parents (and schools, and colleges, and governments, and churches) have to make everything easier.  There's doordash, and bluetooth, and starter buttons on cars, all to make things easier.  I'm certainly not to be excused; the only reason I'm still alive today is because all the things that a diabetic is supposed to do have been made easier, e.g. taking insulin. 

Anyway, don't read this post now, read it shortly before election day, like, for instance, the day they do Fall Back (November 3rd), to get motivated.

I wish I could get some AI apps to write this blog post for me, but I'm afraid that it will have terrible spelling and grammar (more terrible than usual, anyway).
