One can feel it, like the cliched hairs on the back of the neck, there is a palpable desire for change. It is only due to the now archaic nature of the democratic process of the United States that our federal races are so close. Democrats have won the popular vote in all but one Presidential election this century despite only winning the office half the time. There are more Democrats than Republicans in the United States and the expanse between the two parties only grows. The current totals are around forty-eight million Democrats with only thirty-five million Republicans and nearly as many Independents. So, it perhaps should come as no surprise that the energy of the Democratic National Convention is a wonder to behold.
The Democratic Convention is like its counterpart a vehicle from an olden time to pick federal officers. It's not really necessary anymore, but it has found a new purpose and that is to showcase the desire and the capability of the Party to bring about change. People want to move on from the endless bickering which has plagued us. Despite nearly four years of a rock-steady administration under Joe Biden, the current race reminds all of us how it once was only a few years ago, when a blustering and bitter madman had the reins of power in his tiny hands. But the blockbuster show that is the Democratic Convention for all its corniness says that we want and need more. And further that we deserve better.
Despite this discrepancy in energy the race still appears close, at least in terms of the numbers. But I don't see that staying that way. I want the Harris & Walz team to open up an ever-increasing lead right up to election day, and I want them to win with such a prodigious mandate that the Republicans will fold their tents and ignore the ravings of their crackpot leader who will inevitably cry foul. This victory should be a resounding one. By the numbers that would be already the case, but we live in ancient times still. When a black woman named Kamela leads the most powerful nation on the planet, we will take an important step toward the future, and we all be safer in our beds.
