I have great respect for Hillary Clinton and supported her over Sanders in 2016. I also supported Biden because we needed to win in 2020.
But we could have had a campaign team like the one we saw yesterday and today, with some very impressive presenters who've yet to take the stage, we could have had it in 2016. We didn't have to go through the tragedy of Trump.
The Democrats are stage managing perfectly now. I never really thought we'd see this day, but here it is.

When I see a reference to an evil NYT piece, I RT it a simple message: Ignore the NY Times. It's relaxing. You don't have to do something about it, in fact it says the opposite. Do nothing. It works on all social nets, and for any news org that's promoting lies, ignoring relevant facts, against the interest of the US. Find new ways to get informed. And if you can't find them, start one. And we can find each other.
The Bruce Springsteen mention at last night's rally was no accident. Boomers are now of the age where we vote in great numbers. So our feeling like there's something here for us might make the difference in one or more of the swing states.

Last night's Democratic rally was wonderful. I was laughing and sobbing all the way through it. What an emotional release. We needed and deserved this. Beyond hope, we're finally going to fight. I hope President Kamala is really up to it, because we have a pretty substantial cleanup job to do here.

Really strong intro for Tim Walz with the speeches in Pennsylvania today. I’m so impressed with how well Kamala Harris and her campaign have kicked things off. Clear message, but also they are having fun and it’s contagious. 🇺🇸
Love a blog post that starts with a history lesson. Ben Thompson writes about antitrust and the case against Google search. If the cash to Apple goes away, I think Apple will be better off. Just focus on what’s right for users and let search competition happen naturally. But Mozilla will be hurt badly.
We put together a very short survey this week to get some feedback about parts of Micro.blog. If you use Micro.blog, would love your input. Thanks everyone who has already filled it out!
