✅ ✅ She’s qualified AF! Now dude with the 34 felonies couldn’t work at the post office or be a police officer, let alone getting a secret or Top Secret clearance. But somehow here we are.

For anyone wondering what Biden has done for "ordinary Americans", or why they should vote to give him four more years (besides keeping a literal fascist out of power).

It will be while, but hopefully not too long, before we see two women seated here again.

Thoughts on Harris's Acceptance speech.
First, there's obviously the inherently historic nature of the moment itself- the first woman of colour ever nominated by a major party in the US, and hopefully soon our first woman President.
A lot of it is what you'd expect in such a speech, though delivered well- thanking supporters, talking about her own history, and promising to be a President for all Americans, and listing her/her party's policy positions.
Her speaking on her family history was interesting, particularly her mother's decision to reject an arranged marriage, describing this as an act of self-determination to which she and her sister owe their existence.
She also didn't shy away from talking about Trump's criminal convictions, sexual assault verdict, or January 6th. Good. Send a prosecutor to stop a felon.
She also did a very good job relating her experience as a prosecutor to representing the public interest, how an injustice toward anyone is an injustice toward everyone. She really showed how that experience will inform her service as President. Very well-done.
Ooh, and talking about America leading in space. Nice. As a space program enthusiast (and was hoping for former astronaut Kelly as VP, until Walz blew us away), it's nice to see it at least get a mention.
She'll get a lot of pushback for her remarks on Israel from the Left-wing of the party, but its good to see her unambiguously denounce Hamas's atrocities, including sexual violence, and affirm her support for Israel's security. However, she also reiterated her call for a ceasefire, and Palestinians' rights, including explicitly the right to self-determination. She showed perhaps the most fire in this section of her speech.
A side-note: I really appreciated the shear unabashed emotion on Tim Walz's face as Harris accepted the nomination. Both because men are often discouraged from showing open emotion, and seen as less manly if they do, and because it shows that Walz will be a candidate, and Vice President, who is not thinking of himself, of his own grudges or goals or ambitions, but who is 100% behind his President, with his whole heart. Harris chose him very well.
