One month ago, former President Donald Trump seemed poised to retake the White House from an ailing President Joe Biden. Now that he’s falling behind Vice President Kamala Harris, people close to Trump’s campaign are complaining to Vanity Fair that the GOP nominee is only making matters worse. “It’s like he’s choosing to lose,” one of them vented.
So, my reasoning is that I understand your point completely. You are not wrong for taking pleasure in his downfall.
My problem is that I know I can allow myself to be complacent. I am absolutely suceptible to thoughts like “It’s Saturday. Do I really need to work on my garden today?” I can easily see news like this turning into a little thought like “Nah, I don’t need to vote. Harris is surely going to win, I’ll just stay in and relax.”
Just my two cents. I want to feel like things are going to end if I don’t act for a few more months, then I’ll dig in to what I’ve missed.
I get you. One thing for me though is that I desperately want this to be a landslide. Another nail-biter election won’t be nearly as good for the country as a massive Harris win, so even if it’s a lock I’d be voting.
