 I have donated to Biden both the last and this election cycle and I just sent my first donation to Harris.

I am saddened for Biden so much and how it went down.  But I admire him for his leadership, his hard work, and most of all, his own sacrifice. History is going to judge him kindly - I do believe this.  

Despite the donors wanting someone else, Biden endorsed Harris as did IMO her 2 strongest potential opponents(in the eyes of the donors), Gretchen Whitmar and Josh Sharpiro.  

Now lets all do this with Madame Vice President and make her our first female President.

I don't like how any of this happened, but I understand some of her positioning from a purely coldblooded, pragmatic political calculus. But if the numbers really got that bad, it should not have gotten to this point. We should not have had people in the party shivving the president in public or on backchannel to the press for weeks well before now. Nothing that's gone on here could be called 'the easy way.' I don't blame all of that on Pelosi, but what happened across the party was a disgraceful display.

What I'm pissed about is that neither Pelosi nor Obama have endorsed Kamala yet. There's not going to be an open field; today has made that clear. If you want to dispel bad blood and the rumor mill, endorse the president's choice.

I am pissed that neither she or Obama are respecting Joe's wishes. You already pummeled the man on the national stage and made him look feeble. The least you can do is speak out and tell the truth. All of this b/c these people care more about donors than their peers and the American people. It just bothers me b/c he's a man of a certain age and my mind instantly goes to my late grandparents. If anyone did them like they are doing Joe, it'd be blood all over the Capital. 

But on his way out, post-election (and Kamala winning), I hope Joe airs EVERYONE out.

Even though I have serious problems with the role of big money donors in politics, this bears watching.

Nikki Haley Voters PAC Announces Support for Kamala Harris

By the way, I just saw a map of where many of today’s donor dollars are coming from, Florida is very active on that map.

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside.
