Niece says the sitch is that most of her friends got sick of politics because they saw the GOP ruining their futures, and the Dems unable to stop them. And it was old white men vs old white men, so they were not going to vote. Until Kamala. They say its long past time for the old guard to step aside, and the new to come in, and that's Kamala. She speaks their language, their beliefs, their energy. They want their generation in power. And I think it is time for that.

And THEN I learned the Swifties are behind Kamala, too. This kind of reminds me of kicking an anthill... In a very good way.. Here they come en masse, from seemingly out of nowhere..
