It's an odd feeling to actually feel hopeful going into this election. I'm actually excited at the idea of a Harris/Walz victory, and in a way that isn't just "at least we didn't get the actual unhinged fascist." I'm well aware that Harris is not a perfect candidate, but a perfect candidate simply does not exist. What I do have for the first time in 8 years is hope that this country does, in fact, have the capacity to turn shit around. So that's nice.
