When change explode in your face, you adapt. Resistence is futile. Well at least, that's in a perfect world, obviously resistence is often there, but this is not the point here.
My first thought was "FU democrats, you MF just fkup the MF world..." Than I've seen Kamala is receiving endorsments after endorsments. And immediately I shifted fully in her support.
I would have supported Biden with all my strength, he demonstrated how deserving, how heart centered he is and he saved, yes saved!, the US, but not only. He saved our European countries too. What the other MF would have done to NATO and all Atlantic alliances, exposing us to Russia and China,... It can not be overstated: President Biden has contributed to our wellbeing and savety of all.
But now the time for Kamala has come.
I am exited! I was denied of the first woman president in 2016 and in 2020 Kamala was not ready, but now...
I remember you and I talked about her and you said about Kamala:
"She'll have a lot to learn and go through, with things being thrown at her that will need her adapting".
I am back and I will support her with all I have, I want to witness what I have always said would be the best thing not only for the US, but for us all: Madame President.
I had a massive crush on Bill Clinton and intellectual respect for Barack Obama, but Joe Biden is the only president I've ever actually, deeply and fully loved. It's probably the right choice but it hurts like hell anyway.
I’m the most peaceful I’ve been since that heartbreaking election night in 2016. That gut punch was the beginning of one trauma after another that left most everyone I know numb and exhausted. I’m almost like an outside observer watching how calm yet hopeful I am. I do feel that women will realize our power this time. I also think care needs to be taken choosing the VP and that vetting was probably in process even before yesterday’s announcement. I feel that Jill and the Biden family had more to do with Joe Biden’s decision than the 30 or so noisy Dems who feared losing their funding. (I have a lot to work through to be able to vote for Adam Schiff by November.) Now Joe can give full focus to being President for 6 more months and Kamala can hit the road. God bless America!
I don't quite know what I am talking about when I say, This is a timeline jump. Two years. It felt like that for me. I had always thought Biden would win and Kamala Harris would become the President when Biden stepped down in 2026 or 7. So I was stunned and it only took me about 4 hours to digest this new timeline. I still see Kamala as president. I am still writing to all the Democrats to cheer them on. I did watch a few minutes, honestly, of MSNBC last night, and am again on my mainstream media news fast—money money money, it's all about corporate money. Again thank you Nora for this weekly check-in. Love your writing and all of the community's comments. Love to you.
I’ve still got lots to work through in this new shift. I was SO FUCKING MAD at all the damn dems telling Biden to step down. Like shut the fuck up already! He has done so much good for us and accomplished so much over these last four years, even with the deck stacked against him in ways that are almost unparalleled except perhaps in the years leading up to the civil war.
I wasn’t necessarily excited about Biden, I didn’t feel that oomph of energy in supporting him, but I did respect the hell out of him and I’m so mad that it has gone down this way. That he basically got pushed out. At least that’s how it feels. He deserved better and I feel deep grief and sadness about it / for him that I haven’t had the space to fully sit down and feel yet.
My parents watch MSNBC every goddamn day and I can’t stand it. I’ll watch a few minutes here or there, but for the most part I hit my tolerance limit with it within 2-3 minutes usually and then I have to leave the room. It all just feels so manipulative and dramatic and emotionally loud and fear-driven.
Anyway, aside from politics things, I do feel this energetic shift that we’re all in in my own life too. I feel the pull towards a routine, towards taking more action, towards more structure in ways that I haven’t in months. I also feel travel re-entering my system. None of this is manifest in tangible ways yet, but the inklings of energy in my system and the field around me for sure. Things coming. So I guess we’ll see. Definitely feels like the next few months will be full on in all sorts of ways. Here we go y’all!
I processed a lot of them over the past couple of weeks, so when he announced he was stepping down on Sunday, I felt my sadness and anger and then was able to pivot pretty quickly.
I watch no network news and just read articles and follow some very good voices.
Heather Cox Richardson's live video on Sunday was very good.

I love you too
I really felt like and feel like you describe how you felt.

I hear that. I was astounded at what he was able to do.
I wasn't. I told people when he was elected he'd be the next LBJ (who was the next FDR) and he didn't disappoint.

Yes, such a good perspective. Thank you.
Your insights are spot on as always! I love your irreverent sense of humor - thanks for all the Light you bring to this world ✨💥✨
Thank you so much.

I love you right back
And yeah, timeline jump.
I thought he'd win in Nov and then she'd step in next year or in 26.
It's a new reality now
Thank you for the affirmation!

Totally with you on your feelings.
