Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 7/31/24, 8:25 am

I am going on vacation for a few weeks. I have sometimes done open threads from vacation in the past, but this year is even more remote for much of the trip, so probably none from me.

Still, wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Snowball in July!

by Darryl — Monday, 7/29/24, 8:59 pm

It’s been over a week since President Joe Biden withdrew from reelection and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. And what a week it has been! The Harris campaign has snowballed into a formidable challenge to the felonious former guy.

I couldn’t be more pleased. You see, in 2020, during the Democratic primary season, I engaged in debates with my friends at Drinking Liberally about who the Democrats should nominate. My first choice was Joe Biden. I felt he had the best chance of defeating an incumbent old guy. Joe Biden was a highly experienced, stable, thoughtful, elder statesman, who was best equipped to defeat an incompetent, sociopathic, narcissistic, sexist, racist, agent of chaos.

My second choice was Kamala Harris. I thought she had both excellent policy positions and great charisma. I was pretty pleased when the ticket was Biden—Harris.

Now, having Harris at the top of the ticket is like a breath of fresh air. It has an energy not unlike Obama’s 2008 campaign. The response has been overwhelming:

A week since announcing her bid for president, Vice President Kamala Harris has raised more than $200 million dollars, according to her campaign.

…

The Harris campaign said 66% of the donations came from first-time donors. Along with fresh dollars, the campaign has signed up over 170,000 new volunteers since president Biden announced he would step down and endorsed her to be the Democratic nominee last Sunday.

I’ve got a good feeling about this…

The Washington Democratic delegation is totally on board and ready to roll in support of Harris at the Democratic National Convention.

Every four years we hear it: “this is the most important election of our lives.” But sometimes that trite expression is reality! A second Трамп term will be about 2025 times worse than the first Трамп term….

Wanna keep the Harris momentum going? Activate yourself and do something! Donate to the Harris campaign. It’s easy. Even if you can only donate a few buck, your contribution adds to the snowballing movement in the best way—as another small donor. Volunteer for the Harris campaign. Make a plan to vote, and help other’s prepare to vote. Get involved.

Don’t just live history…help make it!

(Note: THIS IS NOT AN OPEN THREAD. If you comment on anything unrelated to this post IT WILL BE DELETED. So go to an open thread with unrelated comments.)

You don’t hear much about Patty Murray in the role as president pro tem of the Senate. I suppose it’s mostly ceremonial. Still the ceremony of not standing behind Benjamin Netanyahu when he addresses Congress is pretty big.

Man big political news: Washington’s primary ballot dropped this week. You should have it in your hands this week. If you’re paying attention, you probably know how you’re voting on some big ticket races. But what about further down the ballot? Good news! Other people have put in the work.

– Fuse does great work statewide.

– The Stranger has Seattle area endorsements.

– The Sierra Club has endorsements for environmentally minded people.

If you have any other voters guides, feel free to leave them in the comments. And while you’re waiting for that ballot, maybe go wash your hands. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
