"there is just so much unknown."

Really ? Such as?

I am on edge too but not for false reasons of "unknown" There are none.

Kamala gives plans in her answers as does Walz. We have two decent people running against proto-fascists who play on every mysoginistic, racist, hateful trope.

And I assure you the Democratic Party has NOT taken its foot off the gas. Here in Michigan thousands of volunteers are busting their asses!

The reason why it reminds you of 2016? Because of the MEDIA- Every little thing by HRC and now Kamala has to be dissected and analyzed and critiqued.

Yet Trump's (and vance's) ridiculous rants and blather are "sanewashed" by the media for clicks.

What gets me is the "she's not qualified" -UH? The GOP wingnuts said the same thing about HRC!

HRC- Aid to Watergate committee as a young lawyer, long time first lady in a governor's mansion then the White House helping on policy, then senator- her whole life in the public eye and public service- somehow not qualified

Harris- District attorney (elected), attorney General of the largest state (elected) , US Senator from the largest state (elected), and vice president (elected)... yet somehow not qualified?

YET - a career fraudster, sexual assaulter, multi-bankrupted publicity hound reality tv racist mysoginist IS qualified ?

One of these things is not like the others

All Democrats I know are NOT taking anything for granted. I was out Saturday knocking doors, will do so again this coming Saturday and the next.

Polls- while not taking anything for granted, the NYTimes/Sienna poll has bee found to be OVER-sampling Republicans and has consistently called the race closer than other polls.

And as we know though Polls, like Rallys, are not votes!

Finally this: "It’s just impossible for me to trust the Democratic Party, and given what’s happened in recent elections"

Just give it a rest- if you don't want to deal with POLITICs then stay out of the arena.
