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.
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.
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.
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.
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
