Put in the above because as far as Harris, I do expect to hear it. I don't believe it so much since I know that is not a 'requirement' of getting elected. Saying that, I feel the statement has more to do with the fact that we have already had a black President. Former Pres. Obama was very respected and while he made mistakes, he kept us with way more positives than negatives including the ACA — so I think many are ready for a female President. I know I am voting for her because to me she is the only valid choice and has nothing to do with her ethnicity. I hope that is the reason everyone votes for her.

I do not believe the first part much, but there is some truth to the second.

HRC also stated some facts about Vance:
As Tim Alberta noted Sunday in The Atlantic, the Trump campaign tapped J.D. Vance in an attempt to harden the Republican base, only to find now that he cannot bring to the ticket any of the new supporters they suddenly need.
According to Harry Enten of CNN, Vance is the first vice presidential pick since 1980 who has entered the race with a negative favorability rating: in his case, –6 points. Since 2000, the usual average is +19 points. Vance won his Senate seat in 2022 by +6 points in an election Republican governor Mike DeWine won by +25 points. Vance “was the worst performing Republican candidate in 2022 up and down the ballot in the state of Ohio,” Enten said. “The J.D. Vance pick makes no sense from a statistical polling perspective.”
Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark, who specializes in focus groups, noted that swing voters groups “simply do not like” Vance. “Both his flip flopping on Trump and his extreme abortion position are what breaks through,” she wrote.

I think you are right Divine. I never thought of the 'youngsters' Pres. Biden picked, but even not paying attention to age I thought he picked some of the best well rounded people for the positions he asked them to take.
Like you, I do want Pres. Biden to have that fantastic legacy along with the long years of service he devoted to us and to democracy. So much heartbreak and yet he never let go of us. So much faithful service for others always.

So many have husbands/others to help- Shanagirl, Mel, Intolight. I live alone, as does Mara. I pace myself, but it all falls on me- meal prep, laundry, housework, all of it. I cannot afford a maid or someone to come in and do things. So I just do on my own. What choice do I have.
Intolight- When the nurse asks me if I am depressed, I say OF COURSE. But I follow up with No I am not suicidal. Good grief, we have MBC, who wouldn't be depressed.

Mara Glad you treated yourself to the portable washer! You work so hard and your hands certainly deserve a break too. Enjoy your new gadget😊

Oh Candy, I hate that question. Are you depressed? But of course I get mad and let them figure it out. They have no clue why all the prescriptions.
I'll try to remember and politely/cheerfully answer 'Of course, who wouldn't be."
Cancer aside there's tons of shit going on in this world and I only see it getting worse.
It's raining! I love rain.
