Re: OT US Politics Again.

Myself, I am not nearly so optimistic.
Kamala Harris is neither white nor male, and that terrifies me, as I
think that a lot of potential
swing voters will simply refuse to consider her on those grounds,
preferring to vote even for Trump
instead.
Yes, she has ignited a great deal of enthusiasm among Democrats, and
higher turnout helps matters
as well. But to elect a President, a party will need to get votes from
at least some rural areas,
the ones more inclined to support Trump. Remember that votes are
filtered through the Electoral
College, so it's not enough to just have a majority of the popular vote
due to a high turnout
in the most populous mainly Democratic states; one has to have a
majority in many states.
