These Harris-Walz rallies are looking more like rock concerts or the Stanley Cup finals, right? This is Las Vegas tonight. What a fabulous celebration to top off the endorsement Vice President Harris and Governor Walz just received from the Culinary Workers of America. That's one powerful union in the Silver State.
Harris also just received the UAW's endorsement in Michigan — and LULAC's, an organization that has never before formally supported a Presidential candidate since its founding in 1929.
Something's happening here. What it is, ain't exactly clear.
We cats think that what we've been seeing in the last three weeks is a nation that's decided to unburden itself from the poison that is MAGA. Let's be honest, the Trumpsters were never more than a third of the American electorate. But our system gives extraordinary weight to minority opinion. Case in point: the American electoral college, which was devised to counter non-slave-states' sway over the mostly Southern, small-state enslavers. Maybe we'd be better off with a parliamentary system of government, but that's an argument for another post (or maybe another whole blog).
The bottom line? Americans are sick and tired of the Trump insults, the Trump anger, the Trump hate, and the Trump negativity of everything our nation stands for. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have tapped into that fatigue — and into people's desire for something more enlightening and uplifting. We cats have to believe that, come November, positivity and hope will carry the day over darkness and grievance.
Sarah Palin used to like to ask, "How's that hopey-changey thing workin' out for ya?" Well, you know what, Governor? You're a has-been, and America still believes in a place called Hope. We cats PURR.
